A fantastic read and now I want to go watch the movie again.Īpt Pupil ★★★☆ – It’s so hard not to see Ian McKellen in my head the entire time I read this. Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption ★★★★★ – I always hate reading something after I watch it because descriptions rarely match up and they didn’t hear but the overall storyline was the same. The Breathing Method–a tale told in a strange club about a woman determined to give birth no matter what. The Body–four rambunctious young boys venture into the Maine woods and in sunlight and thunder find life, death, and intimations of their own mortality. Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption–the most satisfying tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape since The Count of Monte Cristo.Īpt Pupil–a golden California schoolboy and an old man whose hideous past he uncovers enter into a fateful and chilling mutual parasitism.

If you mix them all together- well, if author and illustrator Abi Cushman mixes these elements all together!- you get the fantastically entertaining picture book debut Soaked!. In fact, it might be more fun to be soaked! Here is a story that shows that fun is not dependent on sunshine and blue skies. In fact, Moose can still hula hoop! And it looks like so much fun. ![]() How could he possibly have fun when he is soaked? But Badger, Rabbit, and Moose don’t seem to mind.

His work is a depiction of extreme absolute freedom, unrestrained by morality, religion, or law. Many of the characters in his works are teenagers or adolescents. Sade is best known for his erotic works, which combined philosophical discourse with pornography, depicting sexual fantasies with an emphasis on violence, suffering, anal sex (which he calls sodomy), child rape, crime, and blasphemy against Christianity. In his lifetime some of these were published under his own name while others, which Sade denied having written, appeared anonymously. ![]() His works include novels, short stories, plays, dialogues, and political tracts.

I, for one, was pretty excited about the new direction this book was taking - paranormal stuff is my jam, and we do get to go deeper into Yesenia's life and everything that happened during Drago's reign, including how the Book of Dis actually came to be written. The witch coven takes greater precedence in this installment, as do Isolde's flashes of her past. Since the truth about Ravena is out, she puts all her efforts into finding answers about her past life as Yesenia and figuring out her enemy's next move. Now the queen of Revekka, Isolde finds herself navigating the murky waters of vampire politics after the death of her father and the noblesse of the court. ![]() ![]() ![]() plenty of genuine laugh-out-loud moments.” “Part superhero homage, part sigh-worthy romance, part action-packed adventure, this novel is all kinds of comical fun. “Klune’s deliberate use of traditional comic book themes, such as masking one's identity, mirror common struggles faced by neurodiverse and LGBTQIAP+ youth this thoughtful approach urges readers to embrace their true selves.” "If you're looking for a book to read and then reread several times before the next Spider-Man movie releases, this will be perfect." “Klune plays with superhero genre tropes and fan-fiction clichés with the skill of a true fan-completely aware of their ridiculousness but in love with them anyway. He is a gift to our troubled times, and his novels are a radiant treat to all who discover them.” “TJ Klune is doing powerful work that inspires and impresses. Mason Deaver, bestselling author of I Wish You All the Best I laughed, I cried, and I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading it” “The most down-to-earth book about superheroes I've ever read. Sophie Gonzales, author of Only Mostly Devastated I haven't read anything quite like this before!" "Uproariously funny, this razor-sharp book is half a love-letter to fandom, half self-aware satire, and wholly lovable. ![]() TJ Klune creates worlds where fear and threat can be conquered by kindness, and a tender, queer heart is more valuable than any weapon or power.” “Is it possible to fall in love with someone’s imagination?

It would have been more practical if I had used cotton yarn, though.Īs much as I wanted to roll this row over into the next week, I didn't. I wanted to do something different this time, but still practical, so I reasoned that these could be used for dish scrubbers. I am usually very practical (last time we used white socks rolled up into balls and I spent my craft money on new socks). I used a big roll of regular yarn and enjoyed watching a few movies while I sat and made pom-poms (they took me all week to make). I used the large pom-pom maker that I bought on Amazon (affiliate link). He loved it! To make this fun, put on snow gear, lay out a large white sheet and turn laundry hampers over for a snow fort to hide behind, and have an indoor snowball fight like we did for White Snow Bright Snow! Just like Peter, he's not old enough to have a snowball fight with the big boys. I made these pom-pom snowballs for an indoor snowball fight with Bo. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please let me know in the comments or shoot me a DM on Twitter or IG if you know what a book is ownvoices for.
