Adrenaline Secrets by Carolyn Reilly5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I have virtually no adrenal function (0.01%), and no traceable amounts of potassium. I'm hanging in! I saw one of my doctors last week, and the results of my hair analysis came in. It's strange, but at least I'm hip to my own crazy! This too shall pass. I start to feel like not only will my life not improve at all, but all the of the book plans I made won't happen. 3 stars, and a keeper since I'm collecting the series.Įvery year about this time I feel like I can see the rest of the year already finished and laid out before me and I get a bit depressed. I figured out whodunit early on, though I was never confident in that thought, so that's saying something. It feels different than her other work (because this was originally a play written by Christie and then rewritten into a novel by Charles Osborne), but it's still an Agatha story. Brilliant! I sincerely hope that there will be more of Bridget Jones and her friends in future. I didn't realize how much a part of my DNA was hooked into the characters and this world until I got a few chapters in, and then it was like visiting old friends once again. ![]() ![]() I know the most recent addition to the Bridget series wasn't everyone's cup of tea, but I loved reading this book.

What else could you want? I was able to just run through this book, because I never wanted to put it down! It was addictive, fast-paced with great drama, character moments, and an overall heartwarming feeling. It’s basically “You’ve Got Mail” but modern and full of memes. ![]() “What happens on Twitter, stays on Twitter.” Plot (For context: This is coming from a (rural) Long Islander with major social anxiety who goes to the city almost every other month and has never been a big fan). Pepper and Jack both have unique feelings towards the city and it’s shown so well, and made me have a newfound appreciation for it that I never did before. Also, this book takes place in NYC and I’ve never seen a book describe the city so accurately. Emma Lord also manages to add wonderful depth to this book in addition to the comedy. I found myself laughing way more than I thought I ever would. The writing style is easy to get into and enjoy, painfully relatable, and full of memes. ![]() The rosie project series in order5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() But Don is intrigued by Rosie’s own quest to identify her biological father. ![]() Don easily disqualifies her as a candidate for The Wife Project (even if she is “quite intelligent for a barmaid”).

The answer Will Storr found was that, if we’re psychologically healthy, our brain makes us feel as if we’re the moral heroes at the centre of the unfolding plots of our lives. How do intelligent people end up believing crazy things. ![]() Story is a form of play that allows us to feel we’ve lost control without actually placing us in danger.

While her hair looks black to humans, it is the lovely color htun, a dark purplish color, to gnomes. Still, Aza is flattered when a frequent visitor to the inn, a gnome named Zhamm, tells Aza that her hair is the most beautiful he has ever seen. Besides being skilled at singing, Aza can also flawlessly mimic people and throw her voice without moving her mouth, a form of ventriloquism she calls "illusing". However, Aza's voice garners as much attention as her looks, for Ayortha is a land of song, and Aza is an amazing singer. ![]() Her prodigious size and her odd coloring – milk-white skin, dragon tongue lips, and hair that seems to be frying-pan black – are greatly at variance with the land's standards of beauty and often make her the target of stares and rude comments. ![]() The kingdom of Ayortha, the setting of the story, is the neighboring kingdom of Kyrria, where Ella Enchanted was set and the story makes several allusions to the previous work.Īza, the adopted daughter of innkeepers in Ayortha, has always hated her appearance.

This is where he meets Lucy Szilagyi, a struggling young actress who happens to be visiting Sharon Tate’s grave (located only a few tombstones away from Lugosi’s). When we first encounter Mike, he’s making a pilgrimage to Lugosi’s final resting place at Holy Cross Cemetery. In his attempt to locate this fifty-year-old film canister, Mike is led down a labyrinth of blind alleys amidst the topsy-turvy wonderland of Los Angeles and environs. ![]() It’s the holy grail of horror film aficionados: the twenty-minute reel in which Bela Lugosi portrays Frankenstein’s Monster instead of Boris Karloff, who would go on to make cinematic history with his portrayal of Mary Shelley’s creation. ![]() It’s the late 1980s, and Michael Fenton, editor of Ramboona (a magazine dedicated to forgotten films), is attempting to track down the lost test footage from the 1931 Frankenstein produced by Universal Studios. ![]() ![]() This also means Otaku might be a straight up self insert since he writes manga and looks like a male Isagi.
