Justin by L.J. Alonge7/6/2023 That way, I could have them deliver food to my house for free every day. You’d probably throw it all away on books. “You know what I’m gonna do with my first million?” Frank says, trying to work another can into the street. I’ve still got the taste of ranch dressing stuck in my mouth. We justtried to eat and run at this Korean place, but they threw us out after the salads. We left as Frank insulted their food, his stomach growling noisily the whole time. They looked at both of my wrinkled dollars like they were covered in slime and pointed their snooty fingers over our heads, to the door. We’ve been to a pizza place and a wing place and a sub place. We have none, we never have any, but today’s the last straw. He wipes his hands, the way people do when they’re proud of their work. The one he knocks over now rolls halfway into the street, emptying its Styrofoam guts in the bike lane before settling in the gutter. Frank’s still waiting on his growth spurt he needs a running start and hard kick to get the cans over. They’re the old steel ones that sound like a car wreck when they hit the sidewalk. We’re walking down Telegraph, and every time we stop at a corner, he tries to knock over a trash can. If you tell him to cool it, you’ll only make things worse. When Frank’s raging like he is right now, you just have to let him get it out of his system.

The neuromancer7/6/2023 Riviera has a special obsession with Molly, creating holograms of her on more than one occasion. His death occurs in the shadows, and so the exact cause is unclear-either he dies from poisoned drugs Molly delivered to him, or 3Jane’s bodyguard, Hideo, killed him after Riviera attacked him. This intrigues 3Jane, who invites Riviera into Straylight, where he promptly switches his allegiance to her. Armitage accomplishes this though a disturbing holographic stage show featuring him and Molly having sex, before she rips him apart with her claws. This is why Armitage recruits him-this and his violent interests, which Armitage hopes will pique the interest of 3Jane, who will invite him into Villa Straylight. Riviera replaced his own left lung with an implant that allows him to create holographic hallucinations in others. Case describes Riviera as beautiful, modified by plastic surgery that renders him stunning and ageless. A psychopath and drug addict, Riviera cares only about himself, and finds pleasure only in inflicting pain-physical or psychological. These twisted bonds book 17/6/2023 Similar to the first novel, this one is mainly told from the POV of Abriella (Brie) and tells the story from her side only, which leaves a lot of room to either retell parts of the duology from either suitor or to give some insight into what they were up to when they are away from Brie.Īfter bonding with Sebastian, Brie, who is now fae, runs away from Sebastian after his betrayal. Based on the writing, I could easily see some related novel released whether they are novels written from POV of Sebastian or Finn or spin-offs in some way. I had mixed feelings about the first novel and, unfortunately, I continued to have them in this one. These Twisted Bonds picks up right where the previous novel, These Hollow Vows left off and wraps up the duology.

In fact, the bow is probably going to be tossed right off a cliff. This is book one of three in the series, so that means it won't be tied up in a bow at the end. This book contains explicit content and mature language not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. There will be monarchs and magic and fae and steam and violence and all the feels. Author's Note: This is a fantasy romance m/f story. But the monsters on the other side might make me wish I'd never left. Because these bars I'm kept in, no matter how gilded, are still just a cage. And I realize that everything I thought I knew about Midas might be wrong. Until war comes to the kingdom and a deal is struck. And even though I don't leave the confines of the palace, I'm safe. He gave me protection, and I gave him my heart. I'm the woman he Gold-Touched to show everyone that I belong to him. Dug me out of the slums and placed me on a pedestal. In Highbell, in the castle built into the frozen mountains, everything is made of gold. Gold floors, gold walls, gold furniture, gold clothes. Now available in paperback, it offers insight into the worlds of art and education, and how they interact in particular settings. It charts the rise and demise of a particular academic art "scene," an occupational utopian community that recruited its members by promising them an ideal work setting. This classic ethnography, based on fieldwork and interviews carried out at the California Institute of the Arts in the 1980s, analyzes the day-to-day life of an organization devoted to work in the arts. As these artists lose the social marginality and independence associated with an earlier, more individual aesthetic production, much cultural mythology about work in the arts becomes obsolete. With the growing academization of art instruction, young artists are increasingly socialized in bureaucratic settings, and mature artists find themselves working as organizational employees in an academic setting. Universities have become important sources of patronage and professional artistic preparation.

Escape from witch mountain book7/4/2023 I grew up with this book and have loved it all my life, so it’s hard for me to tell how well it’s aged. In several of the books (most notably The Case of the Vanishing Boy,) Key portrays some sort of communal withdrawing from society with a group of like-minded individuals. The protagonists of Key's books are often ostracized, feared, or persecuted due to their abilities or alien origin, and Key uses this as a clear metaphor for racism and other prejudice. In The Strange White Doves, he professed his belief that animals are conscious and aware, and have subtle ways of communicating, perhaps via telepathy. He is known for his portrayals of alien but human-like people who have psychic powers and a close communion with nature, and who can speak with animals. His novel The Incredible Tide became a popular anime series, Future Boy Conan. His novel Escape to Witch Mountain was made into a popular film in 1975 and again in 1995. After he began writing novels for young people, he moved his family to the North Carolina mountains, and most of his books include that wild and rugged landscape. He became a nationally known illustrator before he became an author. There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this nameĪn American science fiction writer, most of whose books were aimed at a juvenile audience.
