I held my breath, willing away the tremor that skittered up my spine. It felt as if a warm electric current had passed through my skin. Nick shrugged, and the motion brought his arm brushing across my shoulder. “Mo, my hours are none of your business,” I said through a clenched, fake smile. But no one, particularly the yummy doctor, had to know that. I spent a good portion of my “work day” bored out of my ever-loving mind. ![]() I didn’t have time to escort the yummy doctor around by the nose. ![]() And I was the closest thing there was to law enforcement in my valley. The village paid me a salary for maintaining records and appearances at the town hall. And it’s hard to find a day job that will accept “got kicked in the ribs by an agitated moose” as a reason to call in sick. ![]() Being an unofficial official for the pack meant settling disputes between pack members, monitoring the wildlife (i.e., food sources) available around the valley, controlling the pack when we ran together. “Oh, you can move your schedule around,” Mo said, grinning at me. ![]()

The subsequent situations Ralph motors into require quick thinking and grownup-sized courage.īeverly Cleary (ApMarch 25, 2021) was the author of over 30 books for young adults and children. He even teaches him the simple trick of starting the motorcycle: "You have to make a noise. ![]() When he discovers Ralph in his thwarted attempt to abscond with the toy bike, Keith generously encourages the rodent to ride. Lucky for him, the boy understands how it is. Soon, the headstrong mouse finds himself in a pickle, when all he wanted was to ride a motorcycle. Curiosity overcomes caution, and Ralph must have a go at Keith's toy motorcycle. He has always fantasized about venturing beyond the second floor, maybe even outside. But when young Keith and his parents check in to the hotel, Ralph gets his first chance to check out. Living in a knothole in a hotel room, young Ralph has seen plenty of families come and go, some more generous with their crumbs than others. ![]() Pb-pb-b-b-b."

So that's when I realized that there were some contemporary graphic novels out there that I could really enjoy - the same with Check, Please! (another review you can read here). ![]() She recommended My Boyfriend is a Bear to me (you can read my review of that here!), and I ended up really loving it. As I mentioned, I started reading this book while I was on a ridiculously long line at the post office, and the man standing behind me ended up even commenting on how awesome the art was (from his 6 feet away distance, of course)! I hadn't been a huge graphic novel reader until BookExpo a few years ago, where I had a chance to talk to Margot Wood, and I told her that I loved contemporary rom-com stories but I didn't know of any graphic novels that had that element. For starters, I thought that the art work and the color scheme were gorgeous! I spent so much time just staring at the gorgeous art and the detail on the pages - there was seriously so much love and heart put into these illustrations, and it really showed. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays.

One testament to the skewing of the city’s self-perception by Russian imperial narratives is that, in the 1990s and 2000s when I was growing up, the Cossack heritage was considered irrelevant in Zaporizhzhia. In recent months, Russia illegally annexed my region, though the regional capital remains under Ukrainian control.Ĭossacks are the proverbial heroes of Ukrainian history, who carry the weight of Ukrainian nation-building on their shoulders, so one would expect their stronghold to have projected a clear sense of national identity. I come from Zaporizhzhia, a Russian-speaking city in southeastern Ukraine with a Cossack past. Russian is my mother tongue and liberation means ripping it out of my throat. I felt the taste of my mother tongue most acutely while driving through Borodianka, Bucha, and Irpin two months after these Ukrainian towns in the Kyiv region were liberated by the Ukrainian army from the Russians’ “brotherly” embrace. Things scorched by enemy fire, then soaked with rain, touched with rot, smelling of death. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments The Romantic by Riley Hart![]() Neither guy has wanted another man, but there is a spark they cannot deny, a connection they share from the beginning. They quickly realize they would be with each other than anybody else. He has plans to show Nick exactly how it is done, help him out and meet a few women, and just enjoy the gift of the single life that he has been given. That is easier said than done, until he meets Bryce Tanner, his new neighbor.īryce is all about having a good time. He has the restaurant he has always dreamed of, and is determined to meet some new people, find some new passions, and experience life to its fullest potential. ![]() Nick Fuller is starting over after he divorced the woman that he was with since he was seventeen years old. ![]() This novel stars Nick Fuller and Bryce Tanner. “Crossroads” is the first novel in the “Crossroads” series, which was released in the year 2015. Riley writes the “Last Chance” series, the “Blackcreek” series, the “Jared and Kieran” series, the “Metropolis” series, the “Saint and Lucky” series, the “Crossroads” series, the “Wild Side” series, and the “Broken Pieces” series. She lives with her wonderful family in California, who she is thankful for each and everyday. When she is not busy writing, she can usually be found reading. She is a lover of passionate men, enjoys writing about all the trouble they are able to get into with each other, and sexy stories. She is a girl that wears her heart on her sleeve. ![]() Author Riley Hart is a hopeless romantic. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I wish this type of recap was a standard practice with series, especially fantasy series. Nora’s recaps are always incredibly beautiful, poetic in a way that sets the tone for the story even though the voice shifts to something more casual afterward. This trilogy, and the one published before it, are stories that I would have no qualms recommending to fantasy fans who have never had much interest in Nora’s work. ![]() I can see where some lifelong fans of her writing might be disappointed in the shift, but I really respect it. In this trilogy and her last, Chronicles of the One, Nora has made a radical departure from the cozy and comfortable storytelling I fell in love with as a teen. There is a charming, diverse cast of characters, a couple of lovely romances, and a wonderful emphasis on family, whether bound by blood or chosen by heart. Here we have portals to other worlds, mythical creatures, magic light and dark, and battles between good and evil on both large scale and small. The Choice is the epic conclusion of Nora Roberts’ Dragon Heart Legacy trilogy. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments Lover Enshrined by J.R.

So much courage! Katie, now Katherine, is struggling with finding herself in a world that is foreign to her. The shunning she had to endure was heartbreaking on so many levels. I felt only compassion for sweet Katie and the heartache she felt as her life drastically changed by her desire to know more of her birthmother. ![]() The Shunning: great intro to the characters, religion, atmosphere, and traditions. ![]() I admit I was consumed with the story from the very beginning. She knows me well enough and shares my reading passion, so I took it home and started reading about the Amish - of which I know very little about.
