6/12/2023 0 Comments Jacky faber![]() And the ending was very abrupt but it sounds like everyone is headed to Boston so I guess we will see if Jacky & Jamie ever do get together. She meets a lot of new people, yes she still runs into people she knows but not as many as in past books and she didn’t have Higgins with her which I missed. Oh and gets herself caught up in the inquisition too! I think Jacky found her long lost family in the gypsies too she fit in so well with them!As usual Jacky finds herself caught in bad situations and meets famous people, but there was something different about this book, Jacky seemed a bit more mature and although she does want to get to Jamie it isn’t all encompassing as it has been in past books, and Jamie was a bit more secondary in this one. And when she does it is hilarious!!! She ends up being the inventor of Purple haze!Our Jacky also finds herself in her own version of the Girl with the Pearl Earring and running with the bulls. Oh Jacky! Again men just can’t help being drawn to her! I think my favorite part is when she eats the mushrooms and has a whole conversation with Brother Frog and of course since our Jacky is always thinking and after she comes down from her high she saves some of these mushrooms to use at a later time. ![]()

My thoughts are very much with Ian's family at this time. I was hoping to see him again soon and I will be very much thinking of him when I return to NYC in April. The last time I saw Ian was two years ago in his home city New York, just one week before the first big Lockdown. Ian and I have also played on each other's albums. ![]() In 1996 he joined me to play in Japan with a band including Chester Thompson, along with another close friend John Wetton who very sadly passed on in 2017. ![]() Over the years we remained great friends and later on we worked together. I first met him at Pye Studios, London at age twenty when I was working with Quiet World. Tor.com, 3.99 e-book (176p) ISBN 978-0-7653-9145-2 Veteran speculative author McDonald (the Luna series) entrances readers with this multigenerational novella of two. I have always been full of admiration for his solo work as well as everything he did with Crimson and Foreigner amongst others. Ian was both a fabulous composer and an amazing multi-instrumentalist. ![]() A song which Ian had a particularly strong hand in, Epitaph, has remained a firm favourite of mine throughout the years. ![]() I've known him and admired his work ever since I was in the teens when I was totally bowled over by the King Crimson show at the Marquee in London. I'm incredibly sad to hear of Ian McDonald's passing.

Gabaldon posted additional pieces of the story at the request of other forum readers one of them ultimately put her in touch with the literary agent who went on to help her score a three-book contract. But after getting into an argument with a man on an online forum about what pregnancy feels like, she published a section of her draft in which a character vividly recounts her pregnancy. When she started writing the novel, she never intended for anyone to read it, let alone publish it-it was originally just a practice book. If Gabaldon had stuck to her original plans, Outlander never would have become the sensation it is today. Diana Gabaldon never intended to publish Outlander. Here are a few facts you should know about the novel and the book series it launched. The two are the stars of Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander series, a genre-bending whirlwind of romance, historical, and science fiction that has also become a hit Starz television show. ![]() Readers have swooned over Jamie Fraser’s love for his time-traveling wife Claire since 1991. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kyou is antisocial, but extremely loyal and protective of those he loves and trusts. He knows Kyou, even without specific details, so meeting in person is like coming home for him, and Brannigan fits right in with the group. Brannigan is a force of nature who finds Kyou to be the most intriguing person in his world and he has been searching for him for years. However, the bonds between Kyou and his found family are probably richer for having read the entire series, especially as their curiosity about Brannigan and how much he means to Kyou plays a major role in them getting together and the Unholy Trifecta and their significant others are very present and active in the story. ![]() A Joyfully Jay review Audio: 3.75⭐️ "How to Hack a Hacker" is the final book in the Unholy Trifecta trilogy and features: *a pansapiosexual billionaire too smugly happy to be worried about death threats *the harried over-caffeinated hacker trying to keep him alive *the hacker’s lovingly chaotic criminal family While Kyou cyberstalking Brannigan and snippets of conversations between the pair appear in the previous books, everything about their relationship is established in Hacker, so it can be read as a standalone. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments A mother for choco book![]() ![]() But I’m afraid I got lost in the huge cast of cats and their clans (at least 30 cats or more mentioned) and so I did not finish the read. The book is well-written and built the world tightly for the warrior cats who are well-described. ![]() I picked this particular book of the series because it was about some ominous prophecy shaping the lives of three warrior cats in a cat clan which sounded intriguing. That this is the #1 National bestselling series in the U.S. I bought one book of the Warriors series when I saw it at Bookaburra’s pop-up store as I have been trying to incorporate more middle grade reads into my diet. It’s been a busy Chinese New Year week of visiting relatives, eating, visiting relatives and more eating.

The concept sounds very appealing to me and Scott Chantler’s art has its hooks in me. Squire & Knight ($14.99): This caught my eye a while back while browsing First Second’s upcoming schedule, and given their track record, it’s an easy yes. Mignola and Lonergan have taken three things I’ve wanted to see in the Hellboy Universe for a while now and combined them into “Miss Truesdale.” I adore this. Plus, the whole concept of this series is very much my thing. His layouts are so precise that the comic can easily read without words. ![]() If you’ve read any of what Mike Mignola has said about Jesse Lonergan’s work on this series, it might sound like marketing hyperbole.
