But the sheriff stands them off, tells them to leave the prisoner’s fate to the law.Ĭlichd as that scene is, it captures an important truth. One is reminded of an old trope from Western movies: The angry mob descends on the jailhouse with torches and rope, ready to drag out some prisoner and do street justice. But the other factor at play is simply that it’s been a very tough time for the aforementioned rule of law. But there is something here you may not be grasping. In other words: Back off and let us do our jobs. in a way filled with integrity and professionalism.” “A central tenet of the rule of law,” you said, “is that we do not do our investigations in public.” You added that, “We have to hold accountable every person who is criminally responsible for trying to overturn a legitimate election. In a press conference Wednesday, you seemed fed up with carping about the perceived timidity and inertia of your department and you. 6/6/2023 0 Comments Armentrout obsessionAs the two are forced to stick by each other, a bond is formed. The best words I have to describe him is cold, scary & sexy. In comes in Hunter (lead hero), of the Arum race. When she runs to the cops to report this, like any normal human would, she finds herself placed in the safety of one of these aliens. Who could have thought aliens could be this intense! Jennifer Armentrout has my vote with this book! The basic of the book is Earth has more than just human inhabitants, the government knows this but the people don't! Serena (lead female) discovers the existence of these other races when she happens to watch her best friend murdered in an unnatural way. Sophie's movie, which includes scenes taken from her courtship with Phin, provides an opportunity to explore the boundaries between private acts and public events. Through imagery and plot points, Crusie shows the shift in the power dynamics between the couple change as their relationship progresses, resulting in a more equal balance of power. The novel examines perceptions of reality versus fantasy and concludes that embracing a fantasy may lead to greater self-awareness. The lead characters appear in supporting roles in the sequel, Faking It, which centers on Sophie's brother, a secondary character in Welcome to Temptation.Ĭrusie, who has often defended the romance genre against critics, wrote the novel to deconstruct the complaints levied against the genre. Over the course of the story, they solve a murder and deal with conflict around Sophie's movie, which is alternately a documentary or a porn flick. The novel explores the love story between Sophie Dempsey, a screenwriter making a movie in the small town of Temptation, and the mayor, Phinneas "Phin" Tucker. Welcome to Temptation is a contemporary romance written by Jennifer Crusie and released in 2000. What it lacks in literary aspirations it more than makes up for in sheer excitement and fun. Some spy novels get better and more relevant with age, and Robert Ludlum's fabulous The Matarese Circle falls into that category. The Bourne movies, starring Matt Damon in the title role, have been commercially and critically successful ( The Bourne Ultimatum won three Academy Awards in 2008), although the story lines depart significantly from the source material. A non-Ludlum book supposedly inspired by his unused notes, Covert One: The Hades Factor, has also been made into a mini-series. Some of Ludlum's novels have been made into films and mini-series, including The Osterman Weekend, The Holcroft Covenant, The Apocalypse Watch, The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum. Ludlum also published books under the pseudonyms Jonathan Ryder and Michael Shepherd. He is the author of The Scarlatti Inheritance, The Chancellor Manuscript, and the Jason Bourne series- The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy, and The Bourne Ultimatum-among others. There are more than 210 million of his books in print, and they have been translated into thirty-two languages. Robert Ludlum was the author of twenty-seven novels, each one a New York Times bestseller. YouTube sets this cookie to store the video preferences of the user using embedded YouTube video.

Most of America adores their devastatingly handsome prince. If he’d been born a generation earlier, he would have stood first in line for the throne, but the new laws of succession make him third. And then there’s Samantha’s twin, Prince Jefferson. Nobody cares about the spare except when she’s breaking the rules, so Princess Samantha doesn’t care much about anything, either–except the one boy who is distinctly off-limits to her. Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington still sits on the throne.Īs Princess Beatrice gets closer to becoming America’s first queen regnant, the duty she has embraced her entire life suddenly feels stifling. When America won the Revolutionary War, its people offered General George Washington a crown. 6/5/2023 0 Comments Wasted maryaI was glad no one could see what I was reading. I couldn’t put it down-and I couldn’t stand how reading it made me feel. Intrigued, I hopped on iBooks and bought a copy. Illness overcame the person experiencing the illness.” I needed something to read on the long flight back to the USA. She said, “the title suggests the disease wrote it. She brought up Wasted, A Memoir of Anorexia by Marya Hornbacher. First, how Wasted came into it: Smigiero was discussing the collateral damage on family members and caretakers that madness wreaks. I’ll get to the useful writing-craft advice in a moment. Katarzyna Smigiero spoke on “How to describe what resists being put into words? Story-telling strategies in madness narratives.” Now, the presentations at this conference ranged from abstract to concrete, from over-my-head academic to “I could use that tomorrow.” Smigiero’s presentation fell at the concrete, useful end of that continuum. The question arose from a presentation at the recent Storytelling: Global Reflections on Narrative conference I attended in Oxford. Can Madness write a book? That was the question that led me to Wasted, a memoir about a young woman’s eating disorder. 6/5/2023 0 Comments Destroyer angel by nevada barrThe biggest surprise in this riveting novel is Anna we get to meet her in her survival mode. Nevada Barr’s fans know Anna Pigeon, her Park ranger protagonist in this 17th book in the series Barr brings us a survival thriller instead of the usual mystery story. This book was so bad that I couldn't hold back. I odn't usually like to comment on what I read or listen to in this type of forum. Please don't waste your money or, more importantly, your time on this book. All of the characters were really caricatures. Anna was reduced to comic relief in this novel. What character would you cut from Destroyer Angel?Īll of them - including our beloved Anna. If I had to listen to her over the top portrayals of the bad guys any longer I would have been physically sick. I don't really want the books I listen to to be acted out. How could the performance have been better?īarbara Rosenblatt was a terrible reader. Anna seems to be there only to provide comic relief - cracking wise to her canine sidekick. It doesn't take place in a national park. I have read all of the Anna Pigeon books and have enjoyed them tremendously. What could Nevada Barr have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more? Lifs is too short to waste it on this book Distraction soon arrives in the handsome form of MacAllister Booke - a researcher who's come to investigate the rumours of witchcraft that haunt Three Sisters Island. She's perfectly content, except for one thing: she has special powers that both frighten and confuse her, and though she tries hard to hide them, she can't get them under control. Her job as a sheriff's deputy keeps her busy and happy, and she has no trouble finding men when she wants them. Ripley Todd just wants to live a quiet, peaceful kind of life.
