![]() No relationship is perfect and we definitely see that. His insecurities are real and I am glad that Hinohara plays on that in this manga. I think that's what makes this story so amazing. I love how supportive Shizuma is of Minato and that he is not afraid to tell someone that they are lovers. I just absolutely love Shizuma and Minato as a couple. UGHHHH I got to see more of my boos! This needs to be published in the US NOW.please □! **I use the CAWPILE rating system created by BookRoast to do my reviews However one thing I really want a say, Minato is like a pretty male version of me. You have to read this series for that (Just Go already and read it). It's hard for me to describe Minato's gorgeous personality. He was so fierce, endearingly rude and savage. He has quickly secured his place as one of mpst favourite characters. It was a short illustrated book, yet it managed to make me feel so much! The mental health representation was one of the best I have ever come across to. ![]() The author portrayed grief, trauma, depression, abandonment issues so sympathetically that it left me at awe. ![]() At the same time it was very very emotional. It was cute, sweet, sexy and absolutely hilarious. This series has quickly become one of my all time favourite manga series. ![]() I finished all three available volumes within just 2 days. No one can stop me from saying it- "Therapy Game" is the best Yaoi Manga series ever written. ![]() ![]() You get what you see with Duncan, but there’s also a hidden well to him. Duncan is a cop, but he’s been hurt in the line of duty, one more fronts than one. I don’t really want to give anything away, but there’s hella angst, hella pain, hella heartbreak, but there’s also so much emotion that it just bursts from each line. But if I thought Ghost was an enigma, just wait until you meet Duncan. Sidney Bell’s Rough Trade is Ghost’s story, and my most anticipated book this year! For good reason. I absolutely cannot get into another book, and I’ve tried 3! 3! This book was so good that I’m just haven’t been ready to move on…! So then why does every imaginable scenario for taking down their common enemy end with Ghost in his arms? Ghost is Duncan’s polar opposite, and the last person he expected to fall for. ![]() Now he’s got the wrong people breathing down his neck, and the only way out demands placing his trust in the unlikeliest of heroes: Duncan Rook, a gruff cop whose ethics are as solid as his body.Ĭozying up to a criminal is hardly what Duncan’s reputation on the force needs-especially when that criminal is temptation personified. ![]() Quick-witted hustler Ghost is no stranger to living dangerously survival has always been the name of the game. ![]() Genre(s): M/M Contemporary Romance, M/M Thriller/Suspense Romance ![]() ![]() There are seven stories in the collection, one or two of them short enough to read in a lunch-break, others of novella length. The super-naturals have various powers, all pretty much consistent with the general mythology we're all familiar with, except where Armstrong has decided her 'other world' is going to deviate, which she simply shrugs off with a simple 'commonly believed urban myth' discounter. Populated by Werewolves and Demons and Vampires and Angels, who have their own 'life-issues' not too different from those on this side of the divide. ![]() If Sherlock can survive Reichenbach then I'm sure Werewolves, Vampires and demi-demotic Angels can survive whatever state they may have been left in.įor those not familiar with Otherworld it is essentially a parallel world that intersperses with our own. ![]() Billed as the 'final collection' of stories Chills allegedly completes several storylines of her best loved characters. ![]() I came to Armstrong's Otherworld quite late in its development and it seems that she's now wrapping it up to move on to other things. ![]() ![]() ![]() Adams also provides an extensive bibliography of apocalypse books at the end which may be interesting to genre fans (like me!), including ones that are sort of sub-sub genre, such as Octavia Butler's Dawn and Kate Wilhelm's Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang.Īfter pushing to the half-way point, I set it down for a month, lacking the motivation to continue, even in the middle of summer when depressing should be more tolerable. ![]() All were generally well-written and a couple were enjoyable enough that I'll make a point of looking for the authors. This collection literally spans decades, from 1973 (R.R. ![]() He references a number of iconoclastic works and suggests the genre lost some popularity post-Berlin wall fall but has been enjoying a resurgence since the turn of the century. He contextualized the sub genre in general, suggesting that the genre starts in 1826 with Shelley's The Last Man. ![]() Apparently contributions were curated or written with either physical or emotional desolation in mind.ĭeliberately excluding apocalypses resulting from aliens or zombies, Adams attempts to answer the question of what would the world be like after the apocalypse. I've enjoyed Joseph Adams' edited collections before (the The End is Nigh series has some great arcs), but Wastelands largely feels bleak and depressing. I can hardly believe I'm saying this, but I think I prefer apocalypse stories with zombies. ![]() ![]() The more she tries to untangle the link between Warwick and her, the thicker it wraps around them both, entwining them in a world between life and death, where brutal passion and fury collide.When whispers of a coveted magical substance, called the nectar, start buzzing louder, Brexley�s strange bond to the fae book leads her on an unexpected journey. Here dangerous associations and meticulous plots are far more dangerous and cutthroat than any game she survived in Hal�lh�z.If her life wasn�t complicated enough, her relationship with the infamous legend is growing stronger. Reunited with old acquaintances and an uncle she never knew, Brexley is thrown into the vicious world of politics, where human and fae leaders will do anything to come out on top. ![]() If you want to get : Dead Lands (Savage Lands, #3) ![]() Read Online Dead Lands (Savage Lands, #3) ![]() PDF DOWNLOAD Dead Lands (Savage Lands, #3) ![]() ![]() “As he neared the end of his life, Lister expressed the desire that if his story was ever told, it would be done through his scientific achievements alone,” Fitzharris notes, respecting his wish and fulfilling it in the context of a remarkable life and time. She infuses her thoughtful and finely crafted examination of this revolution with the same sense of wonder and compassion Lister himself brought to his patients, colleagues, and students. “Lister’s methods transformed surgery from a butchering art to a modern science, one where newly tried and tested methodologies trumped hackneyed practices,” Fitzharris writes. The medical community resisted Lister’s procedures, but his successful treatment of Queen Victoria boosted his reputation and techniques-winning converts first in Scotland, then America, and finally London. Lister, whose Quaker father introduced him to the wonders of the microscope, became an evangelist for the germ theory of disease and the sterilization of both surgical instruments and doctors’ hands. This was a radical approach inspired by French microbiologist and chemist Louis Pasteur’s discovery of bacteria. The Butchering Art is a spectacular book-deliciously gruesome and utterly gripping. ![]() British science writer Fitzharris slices into medical history with this excellent biography of Joseph Lister, the 19th-century “hero of surgery.” Lister championed the destruction of microorganisms in surgical wounds, thus preventing deadly postoperative infections. ![]() ![]() ![]() I recommend this book to boys and girls that have brothers or sisters that get on there nerves.

I wouldn't do that to my teacher. In this book Fudge kicks his teacher and called her Rat Face so he has to move to a new class. Another thing I want to tell you is that Peter changes because he makes a girlfriend at the movie theater. In the story Peters family moves to Princeton and that is were Peter and Fudge make new friends. Peter's friends name is Alex and Fudge's friends name is Daniel. In this book Peter and Fudge make new friends. Have you ever had a little brother that gets on your nerves?
