There’s a family tree for the four horseman and their ladies, showing parents and children which also includes Misha Lare Grayson and Ryan Trevarro from Punk 57, since Misha is Will’s cousin and lives in Thunder Bay. Her site is bursting with fabulous extras and I can’t get enough. Penelope Douglas totally spoils me with the bonus content for Devil’s Night. Today I’m going to focus on Devil’s Night since I’m reviewing the series right now, but there will be others because so many of the best authors do this. It feeds my obsessiveness perfectly since I pout like a baby when my favorite stories and series come to their inevitable ends. Nothing is better than music but bonus content is equally fantastic.īonus content is big in romance, regardless of sub-genre and that’s awesome for readers. You know what’s even better than author playlists? Bonus content. 6/23/2023 0 Comments Venetia heyer novelVenetia has lived all her life on her father’s country estate, more or less isolated from anything approaching society. At age 25 and unmarried, she’s perilously close to being “on the shelf”, but doesn’t seem particularly bothered by this. She’s a bit unusual for a Regency romance heroine. Venetia herself is a marvelous main character. It’s sweet, funny, clever, light, and adorable - in short, fluff, but super enjoyable fluff that’s perfectly entertaining without being cloying. Venetia may well be my favorite Georgette Heyer book yet. As Venetia’s well-meaning family steps in to protect her from potential ruin, Venetia must find the wherewithal to take charge of her own destiny, or lose her one chance at happiness… Lord Damerel has built his life on his dangerous reputation, and when he meets Venetia, he has nothing to offer and everything to regret. Then a chance encounter with her rakish neighbor opens up a whole new world for Venetia. Beautiful, capable, and independent minded, her life on the family’s estate in the countryside is somewhat circumscribed. Venetia Lanyon is one of Georgette Heyer’s most memorable heroines. A young lady of beauty and intelligence facing an unbearable choice… 6/23/2023 0 Comments Horton hears a who jim carreySeuss adaptation since 2003’s critically maligned “The Cat in the Hat”, which in turn was the first since Carrey starred as the Grinch in 2000.ĭr.

A computer-animated adaptation of the book by Dr. The duo’s second movie together, “Horton Hears a Who!”, was released in 2008. The film received significantly worse reviews and failed to recover its exorbitant $175 million budget, a record for a comedy movie at the time. He was also the lead in the 2007 spin-off sequel, “Evan Almighty”. Carell’s appearance likely contributed to his being cast in the leading role in “The Office” and propelled his career to new heights. “Bruce Almighty” received mixed reviews but was a box office success, costing $81 million and grossing $484 million.

"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Sure to surprise, challenge, and provoke, it is hands down the most memorable introduction to America's founding document. The United States Constitution answers all of these questions. What revolutionary ideas made the Constitution's authors dare to cast off centuries of rule by kings and queens? Why do we have an electoral college rather than a popular vote for president and vice president? How did a document that once sanctioned slavery, denied voting rights to women, and turned a blind eye to state governments running roughshod over the liberties of minorities transform into a bulwark of protection for all? The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation is a full-color illustrated look at Abraham Lincoln’s most famous speech, the bloody battle of the Civil War that prompted it, and how they led to a defining point in the history of America. Spirited and visually witty, it roves article by article, amendment by amendment, to get at the meaning, background, and enduring relevance of the law of the land. Simply put, it is the most enjoyable and groundbreaking way to read the governing document of the United States. The United States Constitution: A Graphic Adaptation uses the art of illustrated storytelling to breathe life into our nation's cornerstone principles. But how many of us truly know our Constitution? It is the blueprint for the shape and function of government itself and what defines Americans as Americans. Our leaders swear to uphold it, our military to defend it. 6/22/2023 0 Comments Marked house of night seriesIn no way will this review sound intelligent and well written.
