6/7/2023 0 Comments Sara holland evermoreNote to YA fantasy heroines: You're not ignoring it if you keep bringing it up. The visions grew repetitive, as did the constant brushing up against Liam and feeling chills/weird feelings that she pretends to ignore. It was a struggle to get through at times. Most of Evermore consists of Jules travelling around and having visions, all so that she can locate a weapon that is said to be able to kill the Sorceress. This book turns its focus to stopping the Sorceress. Unlike some other readers, I never saw much similarity between the first book and the movie "In Time", aside from a vaguely-similar premise. Holland explored how being able to buy and sell time from your life would affect people, and society at large, which I thought was fascinating. I thought this was a shame, as it was the most interesting aspect of Everless for me. In this sequel, the use of time as currency did not play much of a role in the story. I’ve read countless fantasy books where a young woman must stop the evil tyrant, whilst accompanied by sexy dude I didn't need another one. Those who felt so-so about Everless could enjoy this more, as it does indeed read more like regular YA fantasy. One reviewer pointed out that this book loses the somewhat sci-fi feel of the first book and moves more towards traditional fantasy. The ending is the strongest part of the book - nicely wrapped-up but with the lingering suggestion that there is more to the story - and yet even that couldn't save it for me. I really wish I could say I enjoyed this as much as Everless. 6/6/2023 0 Comments Cs lewis joy bookHe remarked later that he learned longing from the distant Castlereagh Hills, which he could see from his first home in Belfast. Neither of his parents was interested much in poetry as Lewis writes in his auto-biography, “Neither had ever listened for the horns of elfland.” His early life in Belfast was marked by its lack of “otherworldly” features, including meager religious experience. He spent a happy, if prosaic, childhood in middle-class Belfast.

It lives in the present and has laser-like, pinpoint focus and accuracy. “However, the practicing mind is quiet.“This ‘goal’ always takes the form of someplace we have not yet reached, something we don’t yet have but will at some point, and then, we believe, all will be right in our life”.“When we learn to focus on and embrace the process of experiencing life, whether we’re working toward a personal aspiration or working through a difficult time, we begin to free ourselves from the stress and anxiety that are born out of our attachment to our goals, our sense that ‘I can’t feel happiness until I reach my goal’.”.“We erroneously think that there is a magical point that we will reach and then we will be happy”. “A paradox of life: The problem with patience and discipline is that developing each of them requires both of them”. “If you are not in control of your thoughts, then you are not in control of yourself”. “With deliberate and repeated effort, progress is inevitable”. And once mastered, it is magical and incredibly empowering”.

After all, the headline “The Ten Unspoiled Beaches of Anywhere” means that those beaches won’t be unspoiled too much longer. This book begins as matter-of-factly as it ends: with Dervla Murphy announcing that-since it was her childhood ambition to ride a bicycle from her home in Ireland, to India-January of 1963 seemed as good a time as any to cross that item off her “To Do” list.And so off she goes-totally alone-with nothing like the kit that a long-distance cyclist might carry now, on a bicycle that many of us would not consider sturdy enough for a jaunt to the Post Office and back.The career of Travel Writer is an unusual one: since so much of it involves “ruining”. 6/5/2023 0 Comments Hood by jenny elder mokeI believe this is a standalone, but I sort of wish it was going to be a duology. Moke has a very pleasing writing style and all the bones were here, but I just wanted more. While I had fun reading this, it was quick and light, I wasn't necessarily blown away by anything here.ĭon't get me wrong, this is a good story, and if you are a fan of the Disney animated version, you should definitely check it out, but I can't help but wish it would have been built-out further. I enjoyed where Moke took this, finding out how Robin and Marian's 'happily ever after' went. This was an action-packed, super fun story, full of adventure and close calls. It's there she joins up with the Merry Men, learns the truth of her parentage and grows ever closer to meeting the infamous, Robin Hood.
