But one day he gets special instructions---save Alice before she commits suicide, or continue being a ferryman. Charlie saves the girl, but when Inspector Javrouche finds out that Charlie broke the most important rule of the Institute, it puts both...
Duncan's best friend, Gina, is a witch, but someone has recently stolen the skull of her father, who was an extremely powerful wizard with the ability to control animals. When Duncan gets a call from a new client who's been the victim of numerous animal attacks lately, he takes the case, hoping it will lead him to whoever has the skull. But between Gina being in a coma and a TV psychic in town...
I was commenting on Aralyn's post over at Paper Addictions & Magic about why people might DNF books when I realized just how often it seems I find myself trying to explain why I don't DNF. And so I figured, why not just make a post about it? It seems I'm in the minority with this (nothing new there), so it might be good to have an explanation out there to explain to all the DNFers why us...
Calla and her team of outlaws are planning to sneak into the Seelie Court for a rescue mission as well as trying to figure out how to stop the horrible vision about the barrier between the human and faerie realms being destroyed. But amidst all the hiding and planning, Calla will have to deal with family trouble, a terrible tragedy, a curse, whatever the Guild is up to, and her own guilt and...
I don't even know what to talk about this week. I spent my last two weekly updates talking about gymnastics, and now I got nothin'. No, really, that's it for the intro lol. You may proceed to the bookish stuff...
Grey is tired of struggling with depression and doesn't want to live anymore. Saint doesn't know anything about himself or his life other than the fact that he's not human and accidentally kills everyone he loves when he feeds from their life in order to fuel his own, but he hates himself for it. When Saint and Grey cross paths, it seems like a perfect exchange---Grey gets the death he wants and...
There are lots of discussions about spoilers out there, but I wanted to make my own statement about spoilers, one that I realized recently and that I've never seen anyone mention. And I guess I also maybe wanted to make a case for all the books out there that have been spoiled but don't deserve to be ditched for that reason alone. So here I go, about to play the devil's advocate, all for the sake...
With his parents recently deceased and the lower half of his leg gone, Apple's return home from Vietnam has been dull, lonesome, and filled with morphine. But when a thug comes into the shop where he works, nearly killing his boss and looking for some photo negatives, Apple finds the negatives and ends up in the middle of a conspiracy with Angela, an alien who has fallen for him, and it'll be up...
A.K.A. 10 book quotes for nyctophiles, like me! You might not know this, but I love the night. I've mentioned before that the "Moonlight" part of my blog name is actually a reference to my love for the night rather than the actual moon. I've always been a night owl. Everything---reading, watching movies, working out, driving, talking (especially talking)---is just better after the sun goes down....
Time for more gymnastics updates! And let me tell you, the event finals were SO AWESOME. I won't go through everything or list every winner though, I'll just tell you my favorite parts. I've never seen a gymnastics competition as emotional as the men's floor finals. I couldn't even be upset that the US didn't medal because those guys who did (Max Whitlock of Great Britain, Diego Hypolito and...
