The wrong highlander lynsay sands5/29/2023 When she saw the man with the saddlebags full of plants bathing under the waterfall, she wasted no time. He did not expect to be attacked by another naked man, and coshed on the head by a redheaded beauty.Evina and her cousin rode long and hard to find famous healer Rory Buchanan and bring him back to her home to heal her father. When they finished, Rory left to see to a patient, and Conran stopped to wash off the sweat, bugs, and dust. As this story opened, Conran was helping Rory collect his "weeds" for his medicinals. He spent his time helping his various brothers with their activities, so he had a good working knowledge of many things, but he considered himself a master of none of them. Conran is the brother who hasn't yet found his niche in the family. The saga of the Buchanans continues with the story of the middle brother Conran. Under a Falling Star by Jae5/29/2023 Hello Select your address Books Hello, sign in. Not a big deal but it's interesting how that sticks in your mind - especially with as many books as Abby has narrated! Everything works together perfectly to make this an audiobook well worth owning! If I had to recommend only one way to experience the story, it would be with this audiobook version. Under a Falling Star: Jae: 9783955332389: Books - Amazon.ca. This was much more enjoyable for me than when I read the ebook and it was the perfect listen to wrap up on Christmas Day! The only thing SLIGHTLY distracting is that Austen's voice was much like Dawn's voice in Conflict of Interest and since Dawn makes appearances in this one, Abby had to change Dawn's to differentiate them. But I was excited Abby Craden was hired to narrate the re-vamped audiobook version and knew I wanted to give it a go. Partners is a short story sequel to Jae’s award-winning lesbian romance Under a Falling Star. Running a new company with her girlfriend, Austen, is taking some getting used to, especially since Austen doesn’t deem knocking heads together to be an acceptable leadership choice. This one's a prime example of how the right narrator can elevate the experience of a book! I am a huge fan of Jae's, but this one wasn't high up on the list of my favorites of hers when I initially read it. Description Ice queen Dee has never before shared the top spot with anyone. In the forest of hands and teeth5/29/2023 When I was still in high school I read an interview with a romance author who said she’d decided to write after finishing a book and thinking, I could do that.Īs soon as I read those words, I thought the same thing: I could do that too.įor some reason, it just always stuck in my head that I’d write romance novels. What first inspired you to write for teens? To this day, I credit them with making me a speed reader–I turned those pages so fast they were almost on fire. I remember spending many nights staying up late reading Christopher Pike and R.L. I read anything and everything! I’m the youngest of three girls, so mostly I’d just rifle through my older sisters’ bookshelves (this is probably why I got into romance novels at a very young age). What were you like as a YA reader? Who were your favorite authors? What were your favorite titles?

They tell the rather melodramatic story of their lives. Six characters, wearing masks, and identified only as Father, Mother, Stepdaughter, Son, Boy, and Girl, follow the attendant up the aisle and beg the producer to find them an author who can write a play about them, or to include them in the play he is about to produce.Īfter some bewilderment, the characters explain that the author who invented them did not complete their play. The producer and a company of actors arrive and begin reading out stage directions the actors complain about the script, but the producer (who also serves as director) explains that he “can’t get hold of good French plays any more so that now we’re reduced to putting on plays by Pirandello.” Before the rehearsal can get underway, an attendant comes up the central aisle of the auditorium and announces unexpected visitors. A stage-hand is starting to build a set, but the stage manager interrupts him to say that it is time for rehearsal. When the lights come up on Luigi Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author ( 1921), the first thing the audience sees is a bare stage, with no scenery and only a few folding tables and chairs scattered about.

God's War by Kameron Hurley5/28/2023 There’s practically no time spent easing you into the story, which is par for the course of what I’ve seen from her so far. Right away you’re thrown into the thick of things and abandoned to figure out what type of place this is on your own. And that’s not even the focus of the story! It’s such an afterthought inclusion that speaks to the immersiveness of this story. This society derives magic from the life energy of bugs. …and was hit over the head with an unconventional story and wildly unique world-building. Needless to say, I ventured into God’s War a little more braced than I might have otherwise… When I read Mirror Empire, the first book in the Worldbreaker Saga (which I still need to get back to), I was introduced to a very edgy writer who has incredibly creative ideas, infuses gender-bender alternative viewpoints into her stories, and isn’t afraid to “go there” for a good bit of shock-value. I’m glad I went into God’s War knowing what to expect from this author. While the centuries-long war rages on only one thing is certain: the world’s best chance for peace rests in the hands of its most ruthless killers. But when a dubious government deal with an alien emissary goes awry, her name is at the top of the list for a covert recovery. Cast out and imprisoned for breaking one rule too many, Nyx and her crew of mercenaries are all about the money. The Overview: Nyx is a bel dame, a bounty hunter paid to collect the heads of deserters – by almost any means necessary.
