Serie della linea All-New, All-Different Marvel che vede protagonista Laura. Fallon by Valerie Zambito6/22/2023 I feel like this is somewhat of a cop-out. The author gives a half-baked explanation for this but doesn’t take the time necessary to really sell the readers on it, or explain exactly what’s going on. Without giving too much away the leading couple meets and almost instantly they fall madly and deeply in love. So first off, the underlying love story was just a bit too unreal to really get into, even for my hopeless romantic tastes. At any rate, there were a few things that put me off about this book, but it did have redeeming qualities as well. It was a free Kindle eBook (now costs $2.99) which I typically don’t expect much out of anyways, but they’re good for when I don’t feel like shelling out the dough on a new book, or just get bored and feel like going on a book downloading tangent. After years of extensive training we follow Fallon as she journeys back to earth to defend innocents from evil, and falls in love along the way. The caste she chooses to join is the warrior caste, or the Knights, who get sent back down to earth to fight evil. Upon arriving in Empirica she is informed that she must choose between three castes of angels. Synopsis: Fallon is a paranormal romance book about a girl who dies and gets sent to Empirica, known to some as Heaven. *Clicking on the above image will open another tab/window to the Amazon kindle eBook for Fallon by Valerie Zambito Autism thinking in pictures6/22/2023 There wasn’t enough of the male narrator’s chapters that I could associate his voice with Noah. I admit that I would have liked to get more of the male narrator, but I could definitely listen to the female narrator all the time. I love a big conflict that threatens a relationship, so I was surprised with how much I liked the fact that there wasn’t any here. But due to the strong connection Dani and Noah share, you never doubt they will resolve their problems without breaking apart, contrary to what usually happens in romance. Though it was light on angst, it wasn’t exempt from drama. Though at first they couldn’t be more different–the city lady with the stressful job and the stock boy slash farmer with little care in the world–they actually have much in common. It was actually the aspect I enjoyed the most, how they get to know each other, like they’re trying to understand why they feel so strongly for each other. Noah and Dani feel a strong attraction for each other right from the beginning, and they act on it pretty fast, but they still talk, spend time together–outside of a bedroom–and learn more about each other as the story progresses. Usually, the characters just fall for each other and the author doesn’t need to deepen their relationship any more. It was good, it’s just that quick instalove makes me uneasy. I enjoyed this book anyway, because some serious topics were treated with care, and the characters clicked. I had very high expectations for this author, and they weren’t met, but that was close. The screwtape letters john cleese6/22/2023 Lewis’ Screwtape Letters represents demons in an amusing, bureaucratic light while never veering from the darker side of temptation in its many forms. As the one sided epistolary novel continues, the text morphs into a cautionary tale, revealing the pitfalls of daily life, the often invisible forces waging war against us, and our ultimate hope in God.Ī Christian apologetic novel, C.S. Among the knowledge and dripping insincerity, however, is Screwtape’s continual reprimands at Wormwood’s inept attempts to stop “the enemy” from unraveling the most carefully laid, hellish plans. His experienced Uncle, a senior demon of much renown and influence, sends correspondence providing clear cut advice on securing the prized soul. Wormwood, a newly initiated tempter demon, is tasked with securing the soul of his patient, an unnamed British male living in London during World War I. A Thought Provoking Narrative in Christian Apologetics Klinenberg palaces6/22/2023 Richly reported, elegantly written, and ultimately uplifting, Palaces for the People urges us to acknowledge the crucial role these spaces play in civic life. He believes that the future of democratic societies rests not simply on shared values but on shared spaces: the libraries, childcare centers, bookstores, churches, synagogues, and parks where crucial, sometimes life-saving connections, are formed. In Palaces for the People, Eric Klinenberg suggests a way forward. Pundits and politicians are calling for us to come together, to find common purpose. Americans are sorting themselves along racial, religious, and cultural lines, leading to a level of polarization that the country hasn’t seen since the Civil War. “We are living in a time of deep divisions.
