When it comes to fantasy there are two components that are crucial to me. I continue to be haunted by these characters and I applaud Taylor for the intricacy and care taken in the development of the world and the characters. Laini Taylor has successfully built a world that is so captivating you find yourself so immersed you forget about everything else. This series is beautifully crafted and driven by emotion. Now the doors to Elsewhere are closing, and Karou must choose between the safety of her human life and the dangers of a war-ravaged world that may hold the answers she has always sought. She is a secret even to herself, plagued by the sensation that she isn’t whole. Raised half in our world, half in ‘Elsewhere’, she has never understood Brimstone’s dark work – buying teeth from hunters and murderers – nor how she came into his keeping. On the one hand, she’s a seventeen-year-old art student in Prague on the other, errand-girl to a monstrous creature who is the closest thing she has to family. In general, Karou has managed to keep her two lives in balance. ‘He never says please’, she sighed, but she gathered up her things. The note was on vellum, pierced by the talons of the almost-crow that delivered it. Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Magic, Young Adult Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy by Laini Taylorįirst Published: September 27th 2011 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers It’s unreliable, it’s hard to budge, and some of our motivations are unconscious or conflict with one another. Motivation is less important than most of us think.Let’s look at each of these components in turn: A behavior only happens when all three MAP variables are present at the same time. This formula is B = MAP, where B is Behavior, M is Motivation, A is Ability, and P is Prompt. The Fogg Behavior Model is a simple formula that lets you pick apart the components of any particular behavior. Fogg encourages us to drop any moral judgment about “good” and “bad” habits and view our behavior scientifically, using specific behavior design skills to engineer lasting changes. In Tiny Habits, Stanford behavioral scientist BJ Fogg argues that the best way to change behavior is to start small. 1-Page Summary 1-Page Book Summary of Tiny Habits The pleat skirt is in three layers alternating between orange and red, with random stripes of white, red, green, and yellow on each corner.

In Strange Weather, this "compelling chronicler of human nature's continual war between good and evil," (Providence Journal-Bulletin) who "pushes genre conventions to new extremes" (New York Times Book Review) deftly expose the darkness that lies just beneath the surface of everyday life. "One of America's finest horror writers" (Time magazine), Joe Hill has been hailed among legendary talents such as Peter Straub, Neil Gaiman, and Jonathan Letham. A collection of four chilling novels, ingeniously wrought gems of terror from the brilliantly imaginative, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Fireman, Joe Hill. I read this casually, a little at a time. Shackleton’s record of his journey made him famous around the world and transformed him into a symbol of achievement and hope in an age of darkness and war. It is a tale unlike any to come before or since. It is the story of a voyage that lasts nearly three yearsa firsthand account of hurricane-force winds, subzero temperatures, glaciers, icebergs, freezing water, starvation, and lethal, terrifying storms. Written by Shackleton, South is a truly astonishing story of human fortitude. South is the legendary story of Shackleton and his crew’s struggle to survive the elements and return home alive. Despite his experience in the Antarctic, disaster strikes early on when the Endurance is trapped in packed ice and slowly crushed, forcing Shackleton and his men off the ship and stranding them in a sea of ice. But Shackleton’s optimism doesn't last long. He has a ship (the aptly named Endurance), a head brimming with optimism, and 28 men willing to follow him on an expedition across some of the most treacherous terrain on the planet. In 1914, as Europe braces for an unfathomably deadly war, explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton sets sail for Antarctica to do the impossible: traverse the continent. However, I was disappointed in the writing style and didn't actually feel it was a fictional story. I usually love classics but have never read this one, so I was exited to start it. Lady Chatterley's Lover sets in 1928 and has a lot of sexual descriptions and a sexual plot, which made it banned in the UK until 1960. *I received a review copy of this work in exchange for an unbiased review. I give the narration 4 stars because the accent did temporarily throw me, but it is otherwise perfectly done. Some of my fellow americans might not notice at all. In the early chapters, the aussie accent is apparent against the english background, but it disappears over time. The narrator Katherine Littrell is a skilled voice talent, has several inflections and voices, and vanishes into the background of your mind as you continue to listen. If you're here, you're likely here on purpose to find this book. There's not much to say about the LCL itself that you can't find better said elsewhere. It's a deep character study, and the extreme honesty make it a work of art. It's rightfully famous for being a breakout example of honest character study, disclosing aspects of society that we still tend to keep to ourselves - and even from ourselves. This is an infamous book that has had endless professional revues and if you seek plot details or deep commentary you will find no lack of them online.

Joshi is the author of The Weird Tale (1990), The Modern Weird Tale (2001), and Unutterable Horror: A History of Supernatural Fiction (2012), and he has prepared editions of the work of H.P. Joshi, a leading authority on weird fiction. The most accurate and authoritative texts are used, and the volume concludes with a bibliography of first apparances of all the items included. In addition, important early tales such as The Outsider and The Rats in the Walls are included, presenting the full range of Lovecraft’s stories from the beginning to the end of his career. This volume contains such major tales as The Call of Cthulhu, The Whisperer in Darkness, At the Mountains of Madness, and The Shadow out of Time. Envisioning the coming to earth of immensely powerful alien entities from the farthest reaches of the universe, this pseudomythology underscored the cosmic perspective that Lovecraft made his signature contribution to weird fiction. Drawing inspiration from such of his predecessors as Edgar Allan Poe, Lord Dunsany, and Arthur Machen, Lovecraft evolved a highly original pseudomythology - later named the Cthulhu Mythos - that underlies many of his most powerful tales. Lovecraft (1890-1937) is widely recognized as the twentieth century’s greatest master of weird fiction.
