Other than that, I feel the cover is a decent likeness of Vlad, who I met before in one of the Night Huntress books (a series which I haven't yet finished). The shirt should be on with this particular cover, but since I'm not your average paranormal romance reader (half of the genre I loathe or am lukewarm about), I suppose my two cents don't really count. Most of the book is about Leila trying to keep the dang thing on, or Vlad keeping it on expressly to annoy her. Speaking of Vlad's shirt, it's weird he's on the cover without it. I didn't know what it was, but I think I found it in the spin-off series, the Night Prince. Yes, it was fast-paced, the romance was steamy, and although I was lukewarm about that hero who everyone loves, Bones, I did love Cat. I readily admit when I first dipped my toes into Jeaniene Frost's work, I was expecting a bit more than I got from Halfway to the Grave.

It has become a phenomenon that has enthralled a generation of readers.īravery, courage, fear and love in a time of war, from New York Times bestselling author Kristin Hannah. Soon to be a major motion picture, The Nightingale is a multi-million copy bestseller across the world. This collection examines McCarthy’s book from various perspectives-historical, cultural, social, economic, ethnic, and literary. As a sociocultural, political, and economic tour de force, McCarthy’s novel remains compelling and provocative thirty years after it first captured the attention of the literary world in 1992. With America and Mexico sharing an unprecedented period of growth, Americans like McCarthy’s sixteen-year-old protagonist, John Grady Cole, and his best friend Lacey Rawlins could cross the border with ease, bringing into focus how both countries alternatingly accepted and resisted assimilation. The novel also highlights a homogenization of North America thanks to the increase in jobs across the continent as well as the expansion of the transportation system. Taking place in 1949, the novel explores the intimate story of relationships while at the same time presenting a global consideration of the American economic expansion that would set the tone for the second half of the twentieth century. The first of McCarthy’s Border Trilogy, it won both the National Book Critics Circle Award and the National Book Award. Cormac McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses is one of the most well-known works of the last four decades. The print version of a knee-slapping cumulative ditty. Perfect for those looking for a scary Halloween tale that won’t leave them with more fears than they started with. And careful observers will note that the underwear’s expression also changes, adding a bit more creep to the tale. Brown’s illustrations keep the backgrounds and details simple so readers focus on Jasper’s every emotion, writ large on his expressive face. It’s only when Jasper finally admits to himself that maybe he’s not such a big rabbit after all that he thinks of a clever solution to his fear of the dark. In the morning, though, he’s wearing green! He goes to increasing lengths to get rid of the glowing menace, but they don’t stay gone. Despite his “I’m a big rabbit” assertion, that glow creeps him out, so he stuffs them in the hamper and dons Plain White. Plain White satisfies him until he spies them: “Creepy underwear! So creepy! So comfy! They were glorious.” The underwear of his dreams is a pair of radioactive-green briefs with a Frankenstein face on the front, the green color standing out all the more due to Brown’s choice to do the entire book in grayscale save for the underwear’s glowing green…and glow they do, as Jasper soon discovers. Reynolds and Brown have crafted a Halloween tale that balances a really spooky premise with the hilarity that accompanies any mention of underwear. In Boy Meets Girl, Joshua Harris -the guy who kissed dating goodbye-makes the case for courtship. Finding the loving, committed relationship you want shouldn't mean throwing away your hopes, your integrity, or your heart. Are you ready for "romance with purpose"? If you're fed up with self-centered relationships that end in disillusionment, it's time to rethink romance. Boy Meets Girl presents an inspiring, practical example for readers wanting to pursue the possibility of marriage with someone they may be serious about. A compelling new foreword, an all-new "8 Great Courtship Conversations" section, and updated material throughout makes this five-year revision of the original Boy Meets Girl a must-have!

This is somebody who is, on the page, described as somebody worth longing for because I don't think that butch lesbians get their due. When I set out to write this book, one of my objectives was to write a book in which the love interest is a butch lesbian. That's a common theme in romance in general, but it's kind of turning it on its head to have it be in a woman-loving-woman (wlw) context.
