I just watched you do it to him, and I’m a fast learner it won’t work on me.” “Carter, please don’t.”Ĭlicking at me in disapproval, Carter says, “Now, now, don’t try manipulating me, princess. “Please,” I say, trying to shove his hand away. My breath hitches as Carter’s amused brown eyes lock on mine, then he slowly reaches down between our bodies and unbuttons the top button of my corduroy wrap skirt. “Didn’t you hear? Parsons said I can do whatever I want to you.” “No,” he replies calmly, then nods at Jake. “Get your hands off me, Carter,” I demand, my voice breaking with desperation. “Mm, what a thoughtful present,” Carter remarks. Now I shove against his muscular chest, struggling to get away, but he locks his left arm around my waist and keeps me trapped against him as he looks me over. I tried to stop myself, but momentum propelled me right into him. Terror claws at my insides as Carter catches me in his arms.

World: ★★★★ Here is where the graphic novels really shine. and not in a good way.įeels: ★★★ Everything is just too rushed and limited to really build up any major tension but all my feels from reading the novels came rushing back. But the most important one in the books came off a lot different in the graphic novels. Supporting: There aren’t many important ones. They are a great pair and really takes us on a great ride throughout this trilogy. I’m not sure some one just picking up the graphic novels would agree. Writing: ★★★ Given the format and the limited writing I though it was well done. I feel like if you read these and had not read the novels you would have been very lost or very board. The graphic novels did a really good job fitting in all the highlights there is just no way it could be as good as the books. Story: ★★★ I loved the original story that’s why I picked these up. It’s on the shorter side and it was basically impossible to separate the books from the graphic novels in my head.Ĭover: The art in general is just wonderful both on the cover and throughout.

This young adult steampunk series debut set in the same world as the New York Times bestselling Parasol Protectorate is filled with all the saucy adventure and droll humor Gail Carriger’s legions of fans have come to adore. (They also get all their sustenance through The Machine, and eventually start to worship it as a deity.)ĭoes this world seem just a little bit familiar? This superficial world is a safe one, and most people like it that way. This is not a lonely world-oh, no, for people are glued to each other through the Machine, through which they communicate with all their “friends” and discuss ideas (most of which are not that good). Each person inhabits his or her little cell and gets sustenance from the ubiquitous “Machine”. In this dystopian universe, most of the population lives underground. In my last post, I discussed how the emphasis on texting and striving to receive as many “likes!” as possible on social media can actually make people less social.Ī novel was written about this inverse relationship…it takes place in a bleak future. "The absolute definitive work on the subject, a perfectly wonderful once-you-pick-it-up-you-won't-be-able-to-put-it-down book."- The Boston Globe Dream Team vividly re-creates the moment when a once-in-a-millennium group of athletes came together and changed the future of sports-one perfectly executed fast break at a time. In the twenty years since the Dream Team first captivated the world, its mystique has only grown. And he narrates a riveting account of the legendary intrasquad scrimmage that pitted the Dream Teamers against one another in what may have been the greatest pickup game in history. He takes us inside the team's Olympic suites for late-night card games and bull sessions where superstars like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird debated the finer points of basketball. He offers a behind-the-scenes look at the controversial selection process. Drawing on fresh interviews with the players, McCallum provides the definitive account of the Dream Team phenomenon. As a writer for Sports Illustrated, McCallum enjoyed a courtside seat for the most exciting basketball spectacle on earth, covering the Dream Team from its inception to the gold medal ceremony in Barcelona. Acclaimed sports journalist Jack McCallum delivers the untold story of the greatest team ever assembled: the 1992 U.S. Apparently the two had fought over a one-of-a-kind cotillion gown. When Vivien Crenshaw, insufferable church organist and despised mother of the town’s spoiled-rotten Peach Queen, is stabbed to death, the police turn to Nola’s friend Ginny as prime suspect. But she never expected that plans for the cotillion would end up in the pits because of the cutthroat competition between local debutantes. The annual Peach Cotillion, Cays Mill, Georgia’s biggest event, is fast approaching and Nola Mae Harper is just as excited as the rest of the town-even though she’s busy juggling both the cotillion dinner and the grand opening of her new shop, Peachy Keen. In the refreshing new Georgia Peach Mystery from the author of Peaches and Scream, an upcoming debutante ball turns into the pits when a juicy murder scandalizes a small town. |
