5/21/2023 0 Comments The Fiery Cross by Diana GabaldonExiled from his beloved Scotland, he is at last possessed of the land he has longed for. Between them stands Jamie Fraser, a man of honour, a man of worth. "1771: the Colony of North Carolina stands in an uneasy balance, with the rich, colonial aristocracy on one side and the struggling pioneers of the backcountry on the other. This is best read with the sound of Celtic flute music playing faintly in the background. The epically written Apple Books summary for The Fiery Cross gives a taste of the book's contents-and the upcoming season. "I would guess they're going to condense quite a bit, and more power to them." "I can tell you one thing they're probably not going to do-the longest day ever," Gabaldon told Entertainment Weeklyof season 5. Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to play It is a case of convergent evolution-where different species separately developed similar biological adaptations when faced with the same environmental pressures. Their seemingly unique adaptation appears to have evolved independently in three other unrelated salamander species. “I’ve spent maybe 50 years studying the evolution of tongues in salamanders,” says David Wake, an evolutionary biologist at the University of California, Berkeley, “this is a particularly interesting case because salamanders, who don’t do anything fast, have the fastest vertebrate movement I’m aware of.” Within their lineage, evolution found a better way to accomplish tongue-hunting. Frogs and chameleons are comparative slowpokes when it comes to their ballistic anatomies. Among amphibians, it is the quick draw champ. In less than five milliseconds, a Hydromantes salamander can launch its tongue-including the muscles, cartilage, and part of its skeleton-out of its mouth to snag a hapless insect mid-flight. 5/21/2023 0 Comments D.C.

She’s self-absorbed, rude to her housekeeper, and doesn’t show any emotion at her stepmother’s funeral. Holly is definitely a Scrooge-like character when we first meet her. This book centers around a girl named Holly Chase. So far, Holly’s afterlife has been miserable.īut this year, everything is about to change. Every year, Holly stays frozen at seventeen while her family and friends go on living without her. Now she’s stuck working for the top-secret company Project Scrooge–as the latest Ghost of Christmas Past.Įvery year, they save another miserly grouch. They tried to convince her to mend her ways. On Christmas Eve five years ago, Holly was visited by three ghosts who showed her how selfish and spoiled she’d become. It was a fun Christmas-themed book that put us in the holiday mood. My book club chose The Afterlife of Holly Chase by Cynthia Hand for our December book. 5/20/2023 0 Comments Rosie dunne cecelia ahern“Love, Rosie” is the story of Rosie Dunne and Alex Stewart, who live in Dublin, Ireland. I was glad that despite this I could successfully finish this. In the past I loved epistolary novels, but after reading a lot of different material, I was not used to this kind of story anymore. I was a bit skeptical when I found out that this book was like that. It does, infact, tell through emails, chat rooms, letters and stuff like that. It is a romantic volume about love, friendship, family, that has an usual way of storytelling. This is not the original title, that is “Where Rainbow End”, but they changed because they made a movie adaptation of the book last year, and they called it like that. Anyway, among my shelf, I could finish “ Love Rosie” by Cecelia Ahern. Perhaps they are not intriguing too much or I am too stressed to focus. Some of the books I have started are already in the process of being finished, but I don’t know when. How is everyone? Me, I have done quite a bit during these days where I didn’t update. Wow, it has been long since the last time. 2 Close The Aragonese territories (Aragon, Catalonia, Majorca, and Valencia), which had acknowledged Philip’s rival, the Austrian Habsburg “Charles III”-the future Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI-suffered the loss of the quasi autonomy they had enjoyed largely unaltered since the unification of “Spain” by the Catholic Kings, Ferdinand and Isabella, at the end of the fifteenth century. Besides this imperial contraction, which to many later commentators was simply the culmination of a long Spanish decline, the war meant major internal changes. The Spanish presence in north Africa also shrank, with the loss of Oran and Mazalquivir in 1708. Philip won that struggle but lost territories in Flanders and in Italy that Spain had held for two centuries and more in some cases, with major implications for Spain’s domestic history. 1 Close Thereafter a war of succession engulfed Spain in a way not seen for more than two hundred years. The last Spanish Habsburg, Charles II, died in 1700 and was succeeded by the first Spanish Bourbon, Louis XIV’s grandson Philip V. The first half of the eighteenth century was a momentous period in the history of Spain and its global empire, or Monarchy. 5/20/2023 0 Comments Microserfs by douglas couplandAmid endless digital chitchat and pop-philosophy, this novel's more serious ruminations about the physical and social alienation of life on the Information Superhighway never achieve any real complexity. Microserfs:. Everyday low prices on a huge range of new releases and classic fiction. Yet the randomness and nonlinearity of cyberspace hobble narrative. Buy Microserfs by Coupland, Douglas from Amazons Fiction Books Store. Dan's journal, like much prose on the Internet, abounds in typos, encrypted text, emoticons-:) for happy and :( for sad-and random snippets of information, a format that suits Copland's disjointed, soundbite-heavy fiction. Much of the story concerns the the Oop! staff's efforts to raise capital and ``have a life'' amid 18-hour work days. Together with his girlfriend Karla, a mousy shiatsu expert with a penchant for Star Trekky aphorisms, and a tight clique of maladjusted, nose-to-the-grindstone housemates, he relocates to a Lego-adorned office in Palo Alto, Calif., to develop a product called Object Oriented Programming (Oop!), a form of virtual Lego. Reviews arent verified, but Google checks for and removes fake content when its identified. The story is told through the online journal of an affable, insomniac, 26-year-old aspiring code writer. With his nose to the zeitgeist, the author of Generation X again examines the angst of the white-collar, under-30 set in this entertaining tale of computer techies who escape the serfdom of Bill Gates's Microsoft to found their own multimedia company. But Damien knows many dark truths about the deceased nun truths learned in the confessional and pieced together from fragments of history and conjecture. When the novel begins in 1996, movement is afoot to consider Sister Leopolda, the former Pauline Puyat, for canonization because of purported miracles associated with her. In her masterful new novel, The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse, Erdrich weaves a tale that spans nearly a century, the strange and compelling story of Father Damien Modeste, a beloved reservation priest who has hidden his true identity as a woman beneath his cassock. Beginning with her National Book Critics Circle Award-winning first novel Love Medicine, Louise Erdrich has spent nearly two decades carving her own fictional landscape from both the rough and mystical details of life on and around a North Dakota Indian reservation. 5/20/2023 0 Comments Happy Families by Tanita S. DavisThings are really as good as they possibly can be when you’re a teenager. Ysabel is an artist, whose jewelry is actually beginning to get some notice in the art community. Justin is a straight-A student and a rising star of his school’s debate team. Review: As far as being a teenager goes, Justin and Ysabel Nicholas have it pretty great. Definitely recommended as another great title for YA Pride Month. Who would we give it to? These characters are so beautifully relatable that I would give this to almost any fan of YA contemporary realism. So to read this amazing, loving book about this family was really wonderful, and absolutely Slatebreaking. There are not a ton of books out there about transgender identity, and I’ve actually never read one before that talked about transgender parents. We love reading books that take a complicated question surrounding gender identity (in this case it is the main characters’ father) and investigate it in a thoughtful, sincere way. If I didn’t know about this book ahead of time, I would absolutely pick it up off a library or bookstore shelf to see what the deal was.ĭoes it Break the Slate? By all means, this is a Slatebreaking book. It hints at what the book is about without sensationalizing and it’s simple and clean but still really aesthetically pleasing. Genre: Contemporary Realistic Fiction (YA)įace Value: I love this cover. |
