Her cheeks were flushed, her light blue overshirt darkened in huge patches where bathtime for three small children had extended its wetness to her also. Half her pale blonde hair was hanging in damp twists around her neck and face while the rest of it spewed untidily from a lopsided knot to one side of the top of her head. God, you look a mess! she told herself in disgust. ![]() She muttered something not very complimentary, hitched six-monthold Michael further up her hip, and rushed the final few steps which brought her to the hall extension-then stopped dead with her hand hovering half an inch above the telephone receiver, her attention caught by the reflection in the mirror on the wall behind the telephone table. THE telephone started ringing as Rachel was coming downstairs after putting the twins to bed. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Jim woodring frank![]() …a toy which is powerless against both Frank and Pupshaw who are childlike fools, but transformative when grasped by Manhog who becomes ensnared in a dry husk…. …is seen in an earlier adventure selling Frank a selectively efficacious top… ![]() In what may be a related episode, the pedlar that adopts Pupshaw and Pushpaw following Frank’s apparent death and entombment in Weathercraft… He is stripped bare of outward trappings and spun into the recognizable shapes which drift through the Unifactor, their only identifying marks being the band of eyes which crown their “foreheads”. In the episode above, the dancing shiva ( Nataraja) and then the author form the Sanskrit character for the syllable, Aum, breaking the illusion of all earthly existence. The architect of this realm, Jim Wooding, revealed their origin through his delirious journals where they have been strange visitors from the very first. … and at other times encountered as watchful guardians.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Luck of the Titanic written by Stacey Lee which was published in. Brief Summary of Book: Luck of the Titanic by Stacey Lee ![]() ![]() ![]() Still, no story about apes can be all bad. ![]() And once again, I didn't find a single surprising thing about it. However, "His Receding Brow" isn't exactly a horror story. I didn't know Max Brand wrote horror, but I should have suspected it. Howard's "The Dead Remember" was another "surprise ending" story that didn't work so well, but I liked it anyway, maybe because Howard wrote it. Lovecraft's "Cool Air." Maybe there was a time when these would have been shocking or surprising, but no longer. One that disappointed me was Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Captian of the 'Pole Star.'" I knew where this one was going long before the end, and it was far from chilling. It had some stories I wasn't familiar with, and I thought I'd enjoy the "chilling tales of horror." Maybe I'm old and jaded, but I didn't have as much fun with them as I'd hoped. I was in a short-story reading mood a while back and picked up this little volume. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments The New Wolf by R.J.

Killing two birds with one stone, he can cheer up Gideon and possibly steal a kiss under the mistletoe. ![]() Rowan hiring his boss for a trip back to his moms’ place for Christmas sounded like a good idea at the time. When Rowan hires him for a wintery break in Maine, it seems like a safe choice until his PA’s meddling family shows him something entirely new: Love. The prospect of a Christmas on his own is better than having to face either of them. Gideon is too old to be fought over at Christmas by divorced parents who should know better. A snowy cabin with one bed? That’s only the first step toward Gideon falling in love. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Heart's Prisoner by Olivia Riley![]() ![]() ![]() If you are a teenager you will probably love this. This book contains heated intimate scenes and some violence. If he dares let Lana get close, dares open his cold heart to her, she could compromise everything. Even if his wicked smile and needful gaze could just be a ploy to win her trust and escape his cell. Something subconsciously draws her to him. He is difficult, elusive, and dare she say, unfathomably spite his seething demeanor and hard, frightening physique. As a top behaviorist, it is the biggest hurdle of her career.Īsset X - or Xerus as he is called - won't give up his secrets easily.

He's not like anything Lana has ever encountered.Īsset X: Massive, deadly, and a little terrifying to say the least. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments D-Day Girls by Sarah Rose![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Definitely not amateurs, Gestapo counterintelligence officers monitored radio transmissions, broke codes, transmitted their own disinformation, and arrested agents regularly. French volunteers in the Resistance were overwhelmingly amateurs sadly, this was also true of Britain’s military Special Operations Executive, which, cheered on by Churchill, recruited, dispatched, and supplied agents. Forced to stick closer to the facts, Rose delivers a swift-moving account that makes for sometimes-painful reading. Hollywood’s version would begin with “based on a true story…” and then make wholesale changes. Working diligently in the archives, the author turns up stories of Frenchwomen who found themselves in England after the war’s outbreak and volunteered to return to France to organize resistance groups, gather intelligence, and direct sabotage. Hollywood and popular writers often disagree, and their number includes journalist Rose ( For All the Tea in China: How England Stole the World's Favorite Drink and Changed History, 2010). Most military historians agree that the anti-Nazi resistance played a critical role in reviving defeated nations’ self-respect after the war but contributed only modestly to the Allied victory. A history/biography of a group of courageous women spies in World War II. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments David howarth 1066![]() ![]() The book opens in the tiny village of Horstede, England (called Little Horsted today). As with any contemporary sources of history, biases emerge that attempt to hold one side in high esteem above the other, so the author and the reader must wade through these evidences to come to their own conclusions of the truth. In the book 1066: The Year of the Conquest, David Howarth draws on a host of contemporary accounts to understand exactly what happened to turn England upside down. At the beginning of the year, the land was at peace, and by the end, everything had changed. The year 1066 is one of the most pivotal years in the history of England. ![]() Publisher: Penguin (Non-Classics) (August 27, 1981) 1066: The Year of the Conquest by David Howarth ![]() |
