I like how Toby Stephens portrays Mr. My favorite adaptation is the 2005 miniseries with Toby Stephens and Ruth Wilson. I LOVE the book, and the movies are great too. Her most popular and best work is Jane Eyre. There are several different love stories and the characters are lively it's just a great read (and a great mini-series as well). It's smart, funny, intriguing, and realistic. So far, my favorite Eliot novel is Middlemarch. ![]() I had no idea George Eliot was a pen name until recently. For those of you who prefer Pride and Prejudice to every other Jane Austen novel, North and South is the closest thing to it! I highly recommend North and South- the book and the mini-series adaptation (with Richard Armitage) are both amazing. Her work closely resembles that of Austen in it's subtle acknowledgments to social issues and it's romantic themes. ![]()

The black and white drawings are deceptively simple, but the characters’ expressions embellish many of the jokes. The comics are witty, erudite, supersmart (though definitely not above a fart joke), have a feminist bent, and make me laugh harder than anything I’ve read or seen in ages. We’ve had several of the comic strips up in my library and, though it was a bit of a slow burn, they now have many committed fans among the cool young cognescenti. ![]() Hark!

The state is now ruled by an agent of the British Raj on behalf of Satapur’s two maharanis, the dowager queen and her daughter-in-law.

This book produced a bucket load of emotions that raged inside me. I was just expecting this high action and adventure sci-fi novel that wouldn't hold any depth to it, I was so incredibly wrong. Why am I going against my personal policy, you may ask? Because I needed to collect my thoughts, try and be calm, try to stop crying after that HEART-BREAKING ENDING! When I started I Am Number Four I really didn't know what to expect I hadn't watched the movie, but I'd heard the book was quite good. I'm writing this review a day after reading the book, going against my personal policy to review a book straight after I've read it. We have lived among you without you knowing. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. But they found us and started hunting us first. Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. We are the superheroes you worship in movies and comic books-but we are real. ![]() We are stronger and faster than anything you have ever seen.

Sometimes I wanna see Stephanie put in these bad situations… I mean who wouldn’t want to watch Lula trying to take control and become her own bail bonds woman.įor those new to me or my reviews… here’s the scoop: I read A LOT. You never know who to root for in these books. The main story, about a kidnapped child, though not funny, is handled quite well. It gives me a regular dose of humor to enjoy. She’s in the wrong profession, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. There are about 10 skips (bail jumpers) she’s trying to chase, all the while solve little crimes and issues throughout the lives of her friends, family, and the people she’s trying to capture whom she takes a liking to. In this book, it’s less about one particular mystery, although there is a driving case she is working on. ![]() It’s absolutely amazing to see the varying degrees of lunatics Stephanie has to deal with. Evanovich comes up with the hilarity in these characters. OK… so I cannot figure out for the life of me how Ms. 4 out of 5 stars to Hard Eight, the 8th book in the “Stephanie Plum” cozy mystery series, written in 2002 by Janet Evanovich. ![]() 7/1/2023 0 Comments The Wild by K. Webster![]() ![]() Frankie’s safe haven is threatened, however, when teen shifters start turning up dead around Woodland Pond, and she makes it her mission to find the perpetrator and seek justice.But when one of Woodland Creek PD’s finest, Detective Gunnar Mason, starts sniffing around, he begins to notice that each of the deceased teens are somehow linked to that of the sexy, mysterious bartender with a sharp tongue. An owl-shifter, Otis Brock, took her in and has been a father figure to her ever since.Even though Frankie, now a bartender, has a wild, rebellious streak, she feels obligated to seek out other abandoned shifters to provide mentorship of her own.

This marks the latest high-profile IP adaptation for Moore under his 20th TV deal, joining The Society of Explorers and Adventurers, set in the Magic Kingdom Universe, and a Swiss Family Robinson series reboot, both at Disney+. It was actually not Maas who announced the ACOTAR TV adaptation that distinction goes to her husband, Josh, who inadvertently revealed the project by including a corner of a script title page in an IG photo showcasing his culinary skills. “I’m currently hard at work writing the pilot with Ron,” Maas wrote on Instagram, calling Moore “one of my creative idols.” Maas executive produces alongside Moore and Maril Davis via Moore’s Tall Ship Prods. It blends epic romance, adventure, and political intrigue in a tale of a huntress who agrees to travel to a magical realm with a faerie lord in return for her family’s safety, only to fall for him and ultimately fight for that love when an ancient curse threatens to destroy the faerie and human realms. ![]() Written by Moore and Maas, A Court Of Thorns And Roses is described as a loose retelling of Beauty and the Beast. ![]() ![]() It is then that the story goes in its own direction. The story starts out much like the traditional story, but the story line changes radically when the wolf blows the pig right out of the story. ![]() This book is an example of both of these. Goldstone states that nonlinearity is frequently demonstrated through multiple story lines in words or pictures or one narrative text that is disrupted and goes in its own direction. One of the characteristics of a postmodern picture book is nonlinearity, which means that the story does not follow a sequential order as in traditional stories. They fly off on one of the pages and join other stories before making the decision to go back to their own story with some of their new friends. The third pig joins them, and they all realize how roomy it is outside of the storyboard so they decide to explore. ![]() He then encourages the second pig to join him where they are safe from the big bad wolf. ![]() In this story David Wiesner makes some radical changes to the story line when he has the wolf blow the first little pig right out of the story. This story is a new twist to the classic story about the three little pigs. ![]() 7/1/2023 0 Comments Happy birthday doctor seuss![]() ![]() Seuss and other children authors – and sat in the classrooms for a little over 30 minutes, reading and sharing the love of literature.
