I was curious that the same author and the same narrator as Omega Force creator team would produce another book together. OMG am I glad I read other reviews or what. When he stumbles upon a secret most people on Earth are blissfully unaware of, he realizes it's not just the aliens he needs to be worried about. ![]() Soon, getting his career back on the right track will be the least of his concerns when it seems like everyone - and everything - he meets is trying to kill him. He has no idea why he’s being singled out in such an unusual manner, but now, it's either agree to their demands or give up his dream of being on a starship.

Who knows? It doesn't seem to have much relevance to the story so perhaps we should just let it pass. Or perhaps he just falls down the stairs. The conceit is that retired Glasgow schoolteacher and aspiring but failed writer, John Tunnock, is brutally murdered at his home. None however compares to Old Men in Love (Are Still Learning), which purports to be the posthumous papers of one John Tunnock. With my somewhat eclectic taste, tendency to pick up books from the piles of unread or discarded, and off-centre (or some would say warped) sense of humour, I have probably come across a few strange writings in my time. ![]() ![]() Summary: The posthumous papers of John Tunnock reveal plans to write THE great Scottish book.the papers are edited by Gray into something presumably erudite, but which this reviewer simply failed to appreciate. ![]() ![]() ![]() According to Express, Emanuel heard from some inside sources about a confrontation that took place during the coronation dinner.

This book, in my opinion, is just as fresh and friendly today as it was back in 1973. The placement of the words, along with the cute illustrations, makes it an easy read. Indian Bunny makes a great book for children who are just learning to read on their own. The bunny is adorable and you can’t help but love watching him learn to become an Indian as he engages in activities and with other animals along the way. ![]() Bornstein, compliment the story quite well. Bornstein weaves in various elements of Native American Culture, from having the bunny do a deer dance in a meadow, to wearing an eagle feather, to beating on a drum and learning to sleep in a teepee. I throughly enjoyed hopping backwards in time to enjoy this little classic book from 1973, about a bunny who decides one day to be an Indian. Price: Varies based on seller (Paperback) Publisher: Scholastic Paperback / Children’s Press ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jess’s journey of self-discovery takes her down a dangerous road. ![]() Not only is Jess a gender non-conformist, she also refuses to abide by pre-Civil Rights rules that mandate that white and black students should eat in separate cafeteria spaces. She is persecuted at school as well-harassed, raped and suspended for attempting to talk about her identity problems with a black friend who will actually listen. When she tries to dress in a way that feels natural for her-in a man’s shirt and pants-her parents forcibly admit her to a mental hospital. Even as a child, Jess latches onto the term of “he-she” and feels that this is the most accurate way of describing who she feels she truly is. Jess’s parents try to force her to act “ladylike” and to dress in traditionally-feminine clothes but Jess knows, despite these efforts, that she is not a girl in any traditional sense of the word. As a very young child, Jess briefly experiences a nurturing environment in the home of her Dineh neighbors but her father, suspicious of Native Americans, forbids her from being with this community that is not critical of her. Jess, the narrator of Stone Butch Blues, spends the space of the novel looking for a way to authentically exist in the world at large. Stone Butch Blues is a 1993 semi-autobiographical novel by writer and activist Leslie Feinberg. ![]() ![]() ![]() It features teenagers that act like adults and adults that are crazy and negligent and abusive (and a few eventually that are amazing). There are some super crazy, ridiculous, eye-rolling, cringe-worthy, unbelievable drama that goes on in this series. She meets her future step-brothers, who are wildly popular rich football players, and after some initial bad blood, the three become very close. Sam’s mother is leaving her father and takes Samantha with her to her new boyfriend’s house. The series follows Samantha and her drama filled life with the Kade brothers, Mason and Logan. Because of that, I decided to finally give this series a try and got hooked. ![]() After a disappointing reading year in 2019, I found myself looking for books that I don’t normally read and for some reason got into SUPER ANGSTY type of books. The Fallen Crest High series has been on my radar for awhile because Deanna loves it, but it never really looked like my thing. It’s been a long time since I discovered a series that’s completely published and have been able to binge read the whole thing at once. ![]() |
