![]() ![]() ![]() Charlie’s ascension to the social throne parallels her rising rank on the women’s tour-but at a major price. Her not-so-secret affair with the hottest male player in the world, sexy Spaniard Marco Vallejo, has people whispering, and it seems like only a matter of time before the tabloids and gossip blogs close in on all the juicy details. He is determined to change her good-girl image-both on the court and off-and transform her into a ruthless competitor who will not only win matches and climb the rankings, but also score magazine covers and seven-figure endorsement deals. Charlie is his first-ever female player, and he will not let her forget it. When she leaves UCLA-and breaks her boyfriend’s heart-to turn pro, Charlie joins the world’s best athletes who travel eleven months a year, competing without mercy for Grand Slam titles and Page Six headlines.Īfter Charlie suffers a disastrous loss and injury on Wimbledon’s Centre Court, she fires her longtime coach and hires Todd Feltner, a legend of the men’s tour, who is famous for grooming champions. She excelled at tennis early, coached by her father, a former player himself, and soon became one of the top juniors in the world. The new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Wears Prada and Revenge Wears Prada-a dishy tell-all about a beautiful tennis prodigy who, after changing coaches, suddenly makes headlines on and off the court.Ĭharlotte “Charlie” Silver has always been a good girl. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That was until her grandfather Saul decided he wanted to control history and create a future where he held enormous wealth and power. Once upon a time her grandparents worked for Chronos, whose main job was to observe important historical events for the true history. Kate is on a mission, she is one of only a handful of people who know that the present she is currently living in has been altered. The plot became deeper, the characters more three dimensional and I really grew to like Kate’s character a lot more in this as she grew into a young woman. ![]() There were more interesting time jumps, less learning how to time travel (which affected the pacing of the first book for me), crazier experiences including a mass death of a small town and a lynching. I found Time’s Edge to be even better than Timebound. I was equally impressed by the novella Time’s Echo that followed one of the characters from Timebound up until a timeline shift from the beginning of Timebound. Last year I was pleasantly surprised by Timebound a young adult scifi novel that included time travel, religious zealots, the 1893 Chicago Expo and a serial killer H. ![]() ![]() ![]() RACHAEL: The idea for All This Time originated with Mikki, and has been a story that she’s wanted to tell for a number of years now. But then he introduced me to Marley, and I realized that although this was Kyle’s story, it was about Marley. ![]() For this story in particular, it was Kyle’s whisper I heard. Crafting a fully realized story from that moment is my gift to them. The inspiration, I believe, is my characters’ gift to me. Then the characters will kind of… walk in, and they live their moment, or their scene, this thing they want me to see. So I listen, always, and I let myself disappear from this world and I go to my other world, the world that lives inside me. I’ll get a nudge, a hint, or a whisper from a character trying to get my attention. MIKKI: My stories all stem from the same place.

Immortality itself might be her only answer, but if that’s where Khya has to go, she can’t ask Tessen or her friends to follow. Khya’s leading her group of friends and rebels into the mountains that hold Varan’s secrets, but if risking all their lives is going to be worth it, she has to give up everything else-breaking the spell that holds her brother captive and jeopardizing her deepening relationship with Tessen, the boy who has been by turns her rival and refuge since her brother disappeared. But not even Varan knew what he was doing when he perverted magic and humanity to become immortal. The only way for Khya to get her brother back alive is to kill Varan-the immortal ruler who can’t be killed. Sea of Strangers (The Ryogan Chronicles #2) ![]() Welcome to today’s stop on the Sea of Strangers blog tour! Sea of Strangers is the sequel to Island of Exiles and the second book in the Ryogan Chronicles, a world where magic users and immortals live, and a warrior clan in the middle of a desert island finds out they have been deceived by their leaders. ![]() ![]() When night falls, she’s approached by the spirit of Shang’s recently deceased father, General Li! General Li has Mulan agree to go into the underworld of Diya to ask King Yama to spare Li Shang’s soul from being reincarnated. Because of Li Shang’s declining health, Mulan is desperate to find a way of keeping him alive. Here’s where the book takes off in a different direction than what we as Mulan fans are used to. The Hun Army is destroyed but at the cost of a gravely injured Li Shang. But there’s a twist just as Mulan was about to set the rocket towards the mountain, General Li Shang jumps into action to protect Mulan from Shan Yu’s lethal attack and is wounded instead of Mulan. You, the reader, are put in her shoes as she can’t help feeling obligated to do her duty to save her fellow soldiers and China. ![]() Like the movie, Shan Yu pursues Mulan as she points the rocket towards the mountain’s peak. You are thrown into battle with Mulan against Shan Yu’s Han Army at the snowy banks on a Mountain of the Tung-Shao Pass. ![]() ![]() ![]() The story takes off as if you were channeling into the middle of an action-packed movie. In the Young Adult Department, we have an excellent young adult book called Reflection by Elizabeth Lim that is part of the Disney Twisted Tales Series. ![]() ![]() ![]() I tug away from him, hoping for a text from Alis. The line moves, and Dad shifts us forward some. ![]() He hugs me tight, whispering assurances I want to believe. Dad clasps a hand on my shoulder, and I fall against him, losing the battle with my emotions. All I can do is stare at our picture, the both of us so fucking happy, and try desperately not to cry. Pain and despair are anchors on my feet, dragging me under and blinding me in an abyss of what-ifs. It was a selfie of us-both of us wearing snow gear, sunglasses, and huge matching grins. ![]() His last posted picture was when we were skiing at the resort. The line moves slowly, so I flip back over to Instagram. I can’t carry on like my heart didn’t just get up and leave. There’s no way I can go back to school next week without him. It’s only been days, and I miss him more than I thought possible. His teasing laughter when we watch Mubona Ikari together and I geek out on all the scenes. The way he becomes hyper-focused when working on a sculpture, ignoring everything and everyone around him. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The only other way out was the window, and there was a 20-foot (about 6m) drop below it onto a flower bed, which now shows no sign of being disturbed, yet he was killed with a soft-point bullet to the back of his head. Ronald's door was locked from the inside. ![]() It does, however, come out that he won as much as £420 in partnership with Colonel Sebastian Moran. Adair liked playing whist and regularly did so at several clubs, but never for significant sums of money. He was in his sitting room, with a window open, working on accounts of some kind, as indicated by the papers and money found by police. The authorities, not to mention the man's family, are perplexed by the case: it seems that Adair had not an enemy in the world. The Honorable Ronald Adair, son of the Earl of Maynooth, a high colonial official in Australia, is found murdered. The story takes place three years after the supposed death of Sherlock Holmes at Reichenbach Falls. Doyle ranked "The Adventure of the Empty House" sixth in his list of his twelve favorite Holmes stories. Public pressure forced Conan Doyle to bring Holmes back to life, and explain his apparently miraculous survival of a deadly struggle with Professor Moriarty. "The Adventure of the Empty House" is the first Sherlock Holmes short story of the 13 collected in The Return of Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. ![]() ![]() ![]() Iggy Pop added his name to the illustrious list of name to cover the track when he pulled out an intense rendition of the Bad Seeds’ iconic song ‘Red Right Hand’ while performing live in Athens, Greece. We’re ending this list in the same place we started it, in the capable and secure red right hands. It’s not only a testament to the artists who have taken on the covers but to Cave himself that he and his band can elicit such outpourings from their contemporaries. Nevertheless, expect to hear a couple of renditions of the track, plus some other notable covers from artists such as Arctic Monkeys, Sharon Van Etten, Sun Kil Moon, and so many more, including an extraordinary performance from rock and roll compatriot Iggy Pop. ‘Red Right Hand’, the song recorded back in 1993, has been given numerous reworkings after finding a second lease of life as the title song for the hugely popular television series Peaky Blinders. His new website, named after arguably the band’s most well-known track, arrives as a pinnacle moment of this article. Cave’s stock has risen considerably in recent years while the Bad Seeds continue to deliver some of their most gutwrenchingly impassioned music to date, their enigmatic frontman is getting closer to his fans with a recent conversations tour and his hugely popular ‘ Red Hand Files‘ forum. ![]() ![]() ![]() Show Your Work! was more business-like in nature, expounding advice and industry knowledge on how to share your stuff with the world and making a space for yourself within it. His first book of this kind, Steal Like an Artist, was all about channeling your influences (my nicer way of saying “just straight up steal from your idols”) in order to create something that may not be entirely new and unique, but that is entirely and uniquely yours. I would do this and that and also this.īut, like a lot of others right now, anxiety has gotten the best of me these last couple of days, completely shot my focus, and just making it difficult for me to enjoy the things I generally love.Īustin Kleon has made a name for himself writing motivational books about being a more creative person in the modern, digital age. This is, technically speaking, the first time off I’ve had in over a year, and I wanted to take advantage of it as best I could. And Sunday, my office sent out a message saying we would be closed until the end of the month. Needless to say, we’re going through wild, uncertain times, and I can only hope that you are safe, doing your part in flattening the curve.
