Book Review: Glow MaAda Title: Glow Author: Raven Kennedy Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Magic, Mythology What It’s About: People are screaming outside of Ranhold Castle, barely escaping out of it, as the liquid gold bursts through the front door and solidifies. Because so long as I live in this world, I won't be used again. So I will fight for him and he will kill for me, and if we need to become the villains, then so be it. But even with the dark threat of Slade Ravinger, the other monarchs are coming for me. Good thing I have a different king in my corner. That's the thing when you turn against a king-everyone else turns against you. Because my wings may have been clipped, but I am not in a cage, and I'm finally free to fly from the frozen kingdoms I've been kept in. Like a phoenix caught fire, I will need to rise from the ashes and learn to wield my own power. A means to get to where he wanted to go, and I paved that path in gold." My life has been made up of gilded lies. It centers around a few characters, but mostly Aurin and Slade. This dark adult fantasy romance is inspired by the myth of King Midas and the gold-touched woman who realizes her true worth. Glow is the fourth book in Raven Kennedys hit series, The Plated Prisoner. The Booktok hit: The Plated Prisoner Series continues in book 4. 6/26/2023 0 Comments Books by stasi eldredgeThis book intrigued me, because I am a man who really enjoyed John Eldredge's other major book, "Wild At Heart." With all of that in mind, you should note that I am a man, and this book is very intriguing! I love the perspective of Staci Eldredge when I hear the stories: her passion and heart for what the book's main focus is evident.

Brandner's novel Walkers was adapted and filmed for television as From The Dead Of Night. The fourth film in the Howling series, Howling IV: The Original Nightmare, is actually the closest adaptation of Brandner's original novel, though this too varies to some degree. Brandner's second and third Howling novels, published in 19 respectively, have no connection to the film series, though he was involved in writing the screenplay for the second Howling film, Howling II: Your Sister Is a Werewolf. The first book in the series was loosely adapted as a motion picture in 1981. Gary Phil Brandner (– September 22, 2013) was an American horror author best known for his werewolf themed trilogy of novels, The Howling. 6/25/2023 0 Comments Bink & Gollie by Kate DiCamilloThe conclusion of the book, in which Bink assures Gollie that she (and not the goldfish) is the 'most marvelous companion of all,' provided a satisfactorily heartwarming end. That is high praise! I appreciated the way in which the two of them negotiate their differences, and eventually reach a compromise, as it is clear that there is true affection behind their disagreements. In the third and final story, Bink's new goldfish leads to tension, until she (Bink) realizes what is causing Gollie's resentment.I greatly enjoyed Bink and Gollie, which, with its gentle tales of two friends who, despite their differences, are loving companions to one another, reminded me of Arnold Lobel's classic Frog and Toad books. In the second selection, Gollie embarks on a voyage of the imagination, exploring the Andes Mountains (all whilst in her own home), while an impatient Bink can't quite grasp that her friend doesn't wish to be interrupted. Both must learn to compromise, after Gollie attempts to use their pancake breakfast as a means of separating Bink from her new footwear. Extroverted Bink goes right for the colorful socks in the first selection, while more reserved Gollie is horrified by her choice. Two friends with very different personalities must reach an accommodation with one another in the three stories found in this entertaining beginning chapter-book from co-authors Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee. 6/25/2023 0 Comments Doing Harm by Maya DusenberyA wealth of research has revealed that women often exhibit different symptoms than their male counterparts, suffer disproportionately from many debilitating conditions, and may react differently to prescription drugs and other therapies. Half of all American women suffer from at least one chronic health condition-from autoimmune disorders and asthma to depression and Alzheimer's disease-and the numbers are increasing. Summary: "In this shocking, hard-hitting expose in the tradition of Naomi Klein and Barbara Ehrenreich, the editorial director of reveals how gender bias infects every level of medicine and healthcare today-leading to inadequate, inappropriate, and even dangerous treatment that threatens women's lives and well-being.

Goddard went into the event as favourite with the 25-year-old justifying the pre-race hype, leading from start to finish.
