Unfortunately, Sam is the only one who can help. My kind of ghost story Alva Webster has returned to New York amid scandalous rumors swirling around her after the death of her estranged husband.

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk is a collection of 23 short stories. She begins as a dying peasant girl saved by a mysterious stranger (who of course turns out to be Dracula). She is incredible and her growth over the course of the book was extremely well-written and realistic. For me, as a survivor myself, it did amp up my anxiety, I got knots in my stomach, BUT following Constanta and her journey was a breath of fresh air. So beware, it could be triggering for you. It does deal with domestic abuse (verbal/emotional/mental/physical) and there are parts that were hard to read especially if you’ve experienced that. This story is NOT for the faint of heart. Reading the path that Constanta takes first adoring him, then mistrusting and then finally realizing his abuse and fighting to save the other brides and herself was cathartic. He made his lovers, taught them, saved them, loved them but he also abused them, manipulated them and controlled their lives. It was extremely interesting to read a new perspective on Dracula. It has everything I’ve wanted to know about Dracula’s brides and then some. Which is to say, I read on my phone every time the baby woke up to nurse which was every couple hours all night (haha). It did not disappoint and I ended up staying up to the wee hours to finish it. I love everything vampire, so when I saw a Dracula’s brides retelling I quite literally jumped on it. Since he has been in the county I don't think he has ever been able to show his face in the High Street of Silverbridge. "I'll undertake to say that at this moment there are more clergymen in debt in Barsetshire than there are either lawyers or doctors. "Their conduct is likely to be better than that of other men, I think." "Why should not a clergyman turn thief as well as anybody else? You girls always seem to forget that clergymen are only men after all." "I don't see that that has anything to do with it." And as he now spoke, John did take his eyes off his book. "You'll have to bring yourself to believe it," said John, without taking his eyes from his book. "I can never bring myself to believe it, John," said Miss Walker. They,-the Walkers,-lived in a great brick house in the middle of the town, gave dinners, to which the county gentlemen not unfrequently condescended to come, and in a mild way led the fashion in Silverbridge.

Walker and Winthrop was the name of the firm, and they were respectable people, who did all the solicitors' business that had to be done in that part of Barsetshire on behalf of the Crown, were employed on the local business of the Duke of Omnium who is great in those parts, and altogether held their heads up high, as provincial lawyers often do.

She brings alive an ordinary Philadelphia woman who is far more interesting than the mythical seamstress of the first American flag. The Revolutionary War era comes alive in these fine pages!" -Douglas Brinkley, author ofThe Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Making of America"Marla Miller's incandescent biography of Betsy Ross is a joy to read. Miller does so with historical accuracy, vivid descriptive language, and an encyclopedic knowledge of her subject. It's not easy to accurately write about a real folk legend. And we can't help but marvel at the woman at the center of the story-Betsy Griscom Ross Ashburn Claypoole -as she runs her business, buries three husbands, raises her own large family plus those of her sisters, and provides flags for the new nation." -CokieRoberts, author ofFounding Mothers and Ladies of Liberty"Marla Miller'sBetsy Ross and the Making of Americais a stupendous literary achievement. We learn of the contributions of the artisans and tradespeople to the Revolution and beyond as we witness them surviving the British occupation, rejoicing in American victory, suffering through yellow fever epidemics, reveling in their status as the capital city. "What a fascinating book! Marla Miller looks closely at Betsy Ross and places her in the context of her Philadelphia. I'm quite used to Well's elaborate world-building, but this felt awkward. Two, I thought the narrative confusing at first. But would the apathetic Murderbot really have named a mildly intrusive artificial intelligence it just met an 'asshole?' It set the wrong tone and in some ways, the character of Murderbot backslid to be a socially inept human, not a killing machine trying to create behavior patterns. One, I felt Murderbot had become more colloquial in its speech without accompanying change in comfort level with others. Why not five stars, you wonder? I do enjoy the character of Murderbot a great deal, but found myself with some sticky points on my first read-through. It was an enjoyable read, but suffered from a few issues. Though the beginning felt a bit awkward, I remained confident that Wells would end up somewhere interesting. I read quickly, finishing in one sitting. After its thrilling adventures on its last expedition as a SecUnit, I was curious to see what 'Bot would do with freedom. It was with anticipation of pleasure that I picked up the second installment in the Murderbot series. I could already feel my performance capacity dropping." Interacting meant talking, and eye contact. I had imagined it as taking place from a distance, or in the spaces of a crowded transit ring. I would have to interact with humans as an augmented human. |
