Henry recently finished his mandatory stint in the army, but came back troubled. ![]() His parents died in a plane crash when he was young, and he is extremely close with his younger brother Henry, who is even a bigger playboy than himself. I enjoy rock climbing, driving as fast as I can without crashing, flying, good scotch, B-movies, and a scathingly passive-aggressive verbal exchange with the Queen. “I enjoy horseback riding, polo, an afternoon of clay pigeon shooting with the Queen.” I grin, flashing a hint of dimple – women fall all over themselves for dimples. “What do you do in your spare time? What are your hobbies?” He hates interviews but knows how to work a room: He loves the ladies, and the ladies love him. ![]() When you think of Nicholas, think of Prince Harry (except dark hair). Wessco is a fictional European country – but similar to England or Scotland. Our hero is Nicholas Arthur Frederick Edward Pembrook, Crowned Prince of Wessco. ![]() It’s adorable, funny, super sexy and one of my favorite reads this year. I’m not sure why, I guess I thought reading about royals wouldn’t be fun (what is wrong with me?)īut I read it and absolutely fell in love with this book. Then I heard she was starting a new series featuring royals. That family holds a very special place in my heart. Her last series I enjoyed so much – especially Sustained and the novella follow-up, Sidebarred. ![]() Royally Screwed by Emma Chase (Royally #1) ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments Dark matter a novel![]() ![]() However, there are some indications that dark matter exists in the Milky Way galaxy as a thin disk. Other geological evidence points to the Chicxulub crater in Mexico as being where this occurred.ĭark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that has not been directly detected. Evidence suggests that a meteoroid collision caused this extinction. ![]() ![]() The dinosaurs, along with many other species, were eliminated between the Cretaceous and Paleogene periods in an extinction event known as the K-Pg boundary. There have been five mass extinctions on Earth. These objects are far away from our sun’s gravity and may have brought water and amino acids to Earth. Some objects formed from a protoplanetary disk that collected in an asteroid belt or Oort cloud. Fluctuations in the density of radiation attracted ordinary matter together to eventually form stars, planets, and other objects. This explains how some structures stay together even though we cannot see them directly.ĭark matter has existed since the beginning of time. It’s found everywhere in the universe and it only interacts with ordinary matter through gravity. ![]() She also explains how dark matter is connected to life on Earth in a wide range of scientific findings.ĭark matter is a type of matter that can’t be seen, but its effects are known.

![]() Using this imaginative manner of turning on a child’s imagination while at the same teaching them something at the same time will allow them to remember it better. And to make sure everyone reading the book understands what they’ve been shown Captain Frankie once again asks questions about its readers have seen. However this time there’s no poetic description as the plane reaches each of its planned destination, instead we’re given information about what we’re looking at. Once again the book begins with showing the flags of the various places its readers will be taken to. In “The Seven Wonders of the World” its readers once again get to pretend they’re on a plane piloted by Captain Frankie who this time will take them to view these spectacular wonders from the sky but this time the wonders haven’t been made by Mother Nature they’ve been made by people, and once again those young individuals will learn something as they read this book. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the last trip I’ll be taking with Captain Frankie and Angelic Airlines as I continue my break from reading/reviewing the slew of adult books I’ve done in the past two weeks. ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments The bad guys book 2022![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It turns out this strangely bifurcated path furnished him with a unique set of skills for the books: he understood performance and visual storytelling, and he could write pithy, punchy dialogue that captured kids' attention and made them laugh. In the opening diner scene, Blabey’s name can be seen printed in a newspaper. With The Bad Guys racking up more than 100 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and over 16 million copies in print since its debut in 2016, it's safe to say that kids have responded with enthusiasm. And they suddenly realised it was not only for them, but pitched directly to them." That cover with the four guys in the black suits, it was very Reservoir Dogs-ish, and it looked like something that older brother might look at, but not them. "That's sort of what the first Bad Guys book did. "When kids are too young to see certain movies, they go, 'Can I see that?' and you've gotta go, 'No, it's too scary, or it's too rude, or it's too whatever.' I genuinely believe a big part of is taking that and then putting it in a space where kids can actually go, 'Oh my God, I got my hands on this – I can't believe it'," says Blabey, whose own kids, at ages 6 and 8, were the test audience for the original book. Director Pierre Perifel drew on a diverse range of references for the animation style, including Japanese anime and French graphic novels. ![]() 5/9/2023 0 Comments Tune It Out by Jamie Sumner![]() ![]() Do I want to throw up more or less than I normally do before a performance? It’s too close to call. I can’t tell if the time off has made the fear better or worse. But that doesn’t mean she still hasn’t been trying, like always, to land me the “next big gig.” And today we’ve got a show. She has a job now too, at the diner down the road, so we’ve usually got enough leftover hash browns and day-old donuts to keep us fed. ![]() I suppose I should be grateful for the four-week break with no shows along the lake. I can still feel the terrible panic, hear the confused voices of the crowd, and see Mom trying to gather our money and run. It’s been a month since our last show and my most recent episode. ![]() Ordinarily I love it here, curled up with a book and headphones in a corner where I can be any age at all in the low light. No one looks for a truant in a place like this. It smells nutty and warm on this cold September morning. Bagels and Joe can’t be more than the size of your average motel room, but it is wall-to-wall jars of roasted coffee beans. ![]() |
