Their relationship could be fun, but also serious when need be. Their attraction towards one another just grows from there. Something big happens in his life and Grace is there to help him. Grace is tired of hearing all the noises coming from Logan’s apartment and Logan thinks she is being pretentious. Logan and Grace being neighbors don’t always ‘click’. These two have a different sort of relationship. She’s classy and sweet, yet outspoken when need be. She had a terrible home life (in a different way) and now she is living her own life. Logan is Shannon’s brother (who we meet in the last book) and he’s spent the last two years of his life locked up for doing the right thing. The final chapter- Moonlight on Nightingale Way is Grace and Logan’s story. The characters are memorable, the stories are wonderful and the writing is superb. A few of these books are top favorites of mine. The ODS series is one that I wish could go on forever. I can’t believe one of my favorite series is at the end of it’s road.

✥ Werewolf and Native American skinwalker culture takes a realistic turn in 2006’s Moon Called, first in Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson series.

The supernatural lore is superb, combining tradition with innovation. Patricia Briggs creates a developed world, and the characters in it are believeable and likeable even when making hard decisions and existing within a world of mundane and magical rules and constraints.

Robinson is the Wall Street Journal & USA Today Bestselling Author crowned as the “Queen of Angst” by readers around the world. Sure, Janet Ahlberg's illustrations for The Worm Book, they are colourfully expressive, often very much deliberately humorous and as such also do manage to mostly successfully mirror her husband Alan's presented text. Maybe I am just not in the mood, but to be perfectly honest and truthful, both my adult self and equally (and actually considerably more so) my inner child have not really found Alan and Janet Ahlberg's 1979 The Worm Book all that engaging (but in fact and actually more than a trifle if not totally tedious in scope, rather annoyingly disorganised, and most certainly not in any manner a book that somehow is meant to actually describe and focus on worms). She gets by doing odd jobs for her patrons and the naïve new money in her town at the edge of the Berkshires.īut when a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie's present life is thrown into chaos and her future seems at best, unclear-and at worst, non-existent. Your shadow holds all the parts of you that you want to keep hidden-a second self, standing just to your left, walking behind you into lit rooms.Ĭharlie is a low-level con artist, working as a bartender while trying to distance herself from the powerful and dangerous underground world of shadow trading. You can alter someone's feelings-and memories-but manipulating shadows has a cost, with the potential to take hours or days from your life. In Charlie Hall's world, shadows can be altered, for entertainment and cosmetic preferences-but also to increase power and influence. Number one New York Times best-selling author Holly Black makes her stunning adult debut with Book of Night, a modern dark fantasy of shadowy thieves and secret societies in the vein of Ninth House and The Night Circus. Her success at finding her mother brings its own challenges but she endures them with the same. So much courage! Katie, now Katherine, is struggling with finding herself in a world that is foreign to her. The shunning she had to endure was heartbreaking on so many levels. I felt only compassion for sweet Katie and the heartache she felt as her life drastically changed by her desire to know more of her birthmother. The Shunning: great intro to the characters, religion, atmosphere, and traditions. I admit I was consumed with the story from the very beginning. She knows me well enough and shares my reading passion, so I took it home and started reading about the Amish - of which I know very little about. My sweet cousin recommended this Amish trilogy. In the story’s course, Nicholas makes Alison fall in love with him and plays a trick on the carpenter: He gets the carpenter to believe a flood worse as Noah’s is approaching and persuades him to hang up three tubs in the roof of the house to save Nicholas, Alison, and himself. Plotįour main characters appear in “The Miller’s Tale.” These are the old carpenter John, his young wife Alison, Nicholas who is a scholar and lodger at the carpenter’s house, and a parish clerk named Absolon. The context of the tale in The Canterbury Tales is the last important point described in this paper to understand the function of the tale’s characteristics in Chaucer’s tale-collection. Following that, sources and analogs and the tale’s themes will be presented. Structure and style of “The Miller’s Tale” can be connected to its preceding tale and will be explained next. The tale’s genre and how it already relates to the placing in The Canterbury Tales is the content of chapter three. It is necessary to shortly describe the tale’s plot at first, which is done in the next chapter. The following does not only offer a close look at the single tale and its characteristics, but also shows how these relate to other tales of The Canterbury Tales, especially to “The Knight’s Tale,” which precedes it. That this place in the order of the tales is not a result of coincidence but is clearly done by purpose is one conclusion of this paper. Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Miller’s Tale” is the second tale of The Canterbury Tales. Players purchase small silver balls that they drop or launch into the vertical pachinko machine. It can best be described as a combination of pinball and a slot machine. Pachinko, a game of chance not skill, is a rather curious Japanese amusement.
