![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Sound familiar? *swerves around in chair and stares at bookshelf* Yes, River sounds exactly like every other love interest prancing around the kingdom of YA, but he actually turns out to be the complete opposite. Violet knows she’s weird, but does she care? No, she doesn’t, and this makes her even more appealing and quirky.Īfter putting up an advert for a housemate in her family’s empty mansion, April meets River Redding, a smirking, darkly-clothed bad boy with a huge, possibly bleeding chip on his shoulder. Violet is a strange girl, and I loved how April characterised her. Between the Devil and The Deep Blue Sea follows the story of Violet White, a teenage girl who lives alone with her older brother in the aftermath of her Grandma’s death and Parents’ departure to follow their passion for art over the world. ![]()

Off armageddon reef6/7/2023 ![]() And he’ll need to find a base of operations, a Safeholdian country that’s just a little more freewheeling, a little less orthodox, a little more open to the new. ![]() To better deal with a medieval society, “Nimue” takes a new gender and a new name, “Merlin.” His formidable powers and access to caches of hidden high technology will need to be carefully concealed. Via automated recordings, “Nimue” – or, rather, the android with the memories of Lieutenant Commander Nimue Alban – is told her fate: she will emerge into Safeholdian society, suitably disguised, and begin the process of provoking the technological progress which the Church of God Awaiting has worked for centuries to prevent. This “rebirth” was set in motion centuries before, by a faction that opposed shackling humanity with a concocted religion. ![]() In a hidden chamber on Safehold, an android from the far human past awakens. ![]() But the Gbaba can detect the emissions of an industrial civilization, so the human rulers of Safehold have taken extraordinary measures: with mind control and hidden high technology, they’ve built a religion in which every Safeholdian believes, a religion designed to keep Safehold society medieval forever. 800 years pass. Humanity pushed its way to the stars – and encountered the Gbaba, a ruthless alien race that nearly wiped us out. Earth and her colonies are now smoldering ruins, and the few survivors have fled to distant, Earth-like Safehold, to try to rebuild. ![]()

The tb12 method by tom brady6/6/2023 ![]() He works the flats, he peppers the middle of the field. Lightning-fast delivery has always been part of Brees’s game. He averaged under four yards per pass completion. Backup quarterback Jameis Winston (exacting revenge on his old team) completed what was easily the Saints’ longest completion of the day - a 56-yard touchdown pass to Tre’Quan Smith. Similar to Brett Favre and Peyton Manning at the end of their careers, Brees simply couldn’t throw the ball down the field with adequate velocity and precision. The news brought an extra dose of clarity to the NFL’s divisional playoff weekend, when Brees and the Saints were eliminated by the Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ![]() ![]() You’d expect New Orleans Saints trainers and medical staff to have discovered that their franchise quarterback’s throwing shoulder was hanging on by just a few muscle fibers. That’s a startling scoop, especially considering Drew Brees was on the sidelines from Weeks 11-14 in order to heal from 11 cracked ribs and a collapsed lung. According to Brittany Brees, her husband played his entire 20th NFL season with a torn rotator cuff and ripped fascia in his foot. ![]()

Sword of destiny witcher book6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() Apothecary Alligator: Istredd has a stuffed crocodile in his study.Amazon Brigade: The dryads use those to fend off people away from their forest.All Myths Are True: When trying to find a dragon, Geralt mentions that gold-colored ones are a myth.Action Girl: Queen Calanthe led the fight against Nilfgaard.The grand set up for the Blood of the Elves Saga of the following books. Another Myth Arc-heavy episode, which first introduces Ciri. ![]() A deconstruction of The Little Mermaid, with few dashes of The Shadow Over Innsmouth. A story which plays with the idea of a Doppelgänger. There are some references to The Snow Queen. A Myth Arc-heavy story centering on the relationship between Geralt and Yennefer. A deconstruction of dragon-slaying epics. Like the original book, Sword of Destiny is a collection of six novellas (minus a Framing Device) that continue the trend of merrily deconstructing your favorite fairy tales, though the motif of You Can't Fight Fate comes across even stronger. The original Polish title was Miecz Przeznaczenia. For whatever reason, the English translator decided to skip it and jump from the first book straight to the third (despite the small fact that it introduced Ciri, around whom much of the saga revolves) but a translation was finally released in the UK in 2015. The second book in The Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski, originally in Polish. ![]()
