Check out the second part of our feature on Lauren’s blog! Cover Contest!Ī new trend in YA book recently seems to be the changing of a book’s cover when it is released in paperback. Book Buddies is a fun, collaborative review feature that I participate in once a season with my friend Lauren who runs the blog Bookmarklit. Sharp and incisive, Daughter of Deep Silence by bestselling author Carrie Ryan is a deliciously smart revenge thriller that examines perceptions of identity, love, and the lengths to which one girl is willing to go when she thinks she has nothing to lose. Even if it means taking down the boy she loves and possibly losing herself in the process. Only Frances Mace knows the terrifying truth, and she’ll stop at nothing to avenge the murders of everyone she held dear. In the wake of the devastating destruction of the luxury yacht Persephone, just three souls remain to tell its story-and two of them are lying.

As the sequel to the 2016 hit, similarly named "Suicide Squad," this latest contribution to the increasingly predictable superhero genre is uniquely critical of the U.S. Now streaming on HBO Max and playing in theaters, DC's "The Suicide Squad" may have opened to dismal box office numbers, but is drawing praise from critics who point out its unconventional heroics. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With Earth irreparably damaged, the future of the human race rests on their shoulders.įor Leo, an Italian championship swimmer, this kind of purpose is a reason to go on after losing his family.

Who are we What is the mind, what is consciousness and what is reality This book offers educated answers and explanations to. ![]() What we call reality, is most definitely not what it appears to be. Can it be, that this complex, living, breathing, sophisticated, opinionated, creative and conscious entity that we call human, is made up merely from a few invisible atoms of nothingness? We are not simply made from fresh and blood-we are beings of an infinity of dimensions, too vast to contemplate, but our brains and our senses are only able to perceive that which is rooted in matter, for that is the substance from which we believe we are made. ![]() This is an “easy to read” book which motivates the reader to reconsider everything they think they know about themselves and the world today, examining the different models of creation and evolution, the essence of matter and of life itself, exploring all manner of scientific, theological, psychological and philosophical hypotheses.

The story picks up right where Drop Dead Queen left off. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️īroken Kingdom, the third instalment of the Corium University, is a brilliantly written and captivating new adult bully/mafia romance. No extraneous sounds and both narrators perform beautifully. I can’t say it’s a perfectly seamless production, there are a few instances, (all the female’s, if memory serves) where her voice changes quite a bit for a sentence or two … like she re-recorded or missed something initially and spliced it in. Definitely feel a need to read on and expect you will too. I thought it’d end at this one, but I see there are 2 more books in this series. ![]() And this entire installment is shrouded in mystery, so that keeps it fun. The explanation is a bit weak … until it isn’t and it all makes perfect sense. Which sorta seems like she’s setting herself up for more. “I’m nothing more than a chess piece a pawn on an endless board … when I should be queen.” This one’s sort of frustrating, as Aspen’s trying to heal from so much … but still in some trouble, but doesn’t tell anyone about it. This one picks up a short time after book 2 ends … it’s pretty much right where it left off. ![]() Anyway, I’ve basically binged books 1 & 2 and had to move right into 3-this series apparently is like crack, at least for a dark reads lover like myself. Book 1 ended in a cliffie, but it was nothing like book 2’s, entirely different situation. When I say: BE READY WITH THIS ONE before you even start book 2, I am not kidding. ![]() ![]() Reviews and screenshots of book excerpts must contain the book title/author in the post title. ![]()
