![]() ![]() Jotunn, a creepy forest, forbidden swoony romance, an evil brother, and a quest for the Holy Grail make Jody Hedlund’s Ensnared a thrilling latest installment in the Knights of Brethren series! I love this series and find with each book, I love it even more. “One act of courage has the power to clear the path for more.” I received a copy of this book from the author, all opinions, however, are my own. I cannot wait for more books in this series and to get to the bottom of what this bleeding curse is about. Both the characters were amazing, naturally Gunnar/Gawain was my favorite but that's a given. The plot was really great, kept me guessing and I'll never grow tired of just how Norse inspired this story world is (we've got some jottun in this one). Okay Imma stop talking now before I convince myself to start writing a book exclusively about Gawain □ (one of these days though.). He's the hero we both need and deserve □ Actually, every Arthurian story should star Gawain. Every retelling of King Arthur should have a Gawain. He's my favorite figure from Arthurian stories period. I don't know how many of you know this, but Gawain is my absolute favorite Knight of the Round Table. ![]() I read it in just two days (and if you guys are familiar with my reading speed you know that's a feat □). This one was the best yet! But then I didn't expect otherwise from Gawain's *cough* I mean Gunnar's story. ![]()

(…) Entre elas tenho algumas preferidas, algumas são minhas conhecidas íntimas uma delas tenciona ser tratada por um arquitecto no próximo verão. A cidade também é sua conhecida, também cria relações com o cenário, aquele que ele verdadeiramente conhece. Enquanto passeia pelas ruas de Petersburgo, cruza-se com as mesmas pessoas do dia-a-dia, acreditando que isso cria uma relação de conhecimento com os perfeitos desconhecidos. ![]() Em “Noites Brancas”, obra comumente identificada como a mais diferente de Dostoiévski dada a forte componente romântica, temos um protagonista-narrador que é um verdadeiro sonhador. ![]() ![]() ROVING RANGER: The Riddle of the Rival Ranger (6) ?)

The detailed and clever worldbuilding more than justifies a sequel, and Tchaikovsky pulls of an impressive feat in making Rex’s character evolution genuinely moving. Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky In Adrian Tchaikovsky's Elder Race, a junior anthropologist on a distant planet must help the locals he has sworn to study to save a planet from an unbeatable foe. Redmark has been retained to suppress anarchist terrorists there, but as Rex comes to suspect that some of those he and his unit have slaughtered were innocents, he must weigh his desire to be a “Good Dog” for his masters against his desire to do real good. His obedience is tested on a mission in Campeche, Mexico. Rex is the leader of the Redmark corporation’s Asset Protection team, whose other members include an augmented swarm of bees, a weaponized bear, and a dragonlike lizard. This “Good Dog” is almost eight feet tall, with guns mounted on both shoulders and “super-dense muscles, impact-resistant fibres in his skin, hollow bones that were strong as titanium.” In short, he was made for combat. I am a Good Dog”-Tchaikovsky appeals to the cliché of a pet desperate for approval, which proves grimly ironic as Rex’s true nature is revealed. Clarke Award winner Tchaikovsky ( Children of Time) takes readers inside the mind of a weaponized bioengineered animal in this imaginative triumph, the first in a series. ![]() ![]() This is the only necessary form of humility: the realisation that difference is normal. ![]() Teach her that her standards are for her alone, and not for other people. Teach her never to universalise her own standards or experiences. Dear Ijeawele, Or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions. She grew up on the campus of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, where her father was a professor and her mother was the first female Registrar. Both religion and science have spaces for the things we do not know, and it is enough to make peace with that. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was born in Enugu, Nigeria in 1977. Teach her that we do not know – we cannot know – everything about life. A few years ago, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie received a letter from a dear friend from childhood, asking her how to raise her baby girl as a feminist. She must know and understand that people walk different paths in the world and that as long as those paths do no harm to others, they are valid paths that she must respect. From the best-selling author of Americanah and We Should All Be Feminists comes a powerful new statement about feminism today-written as a letter to a friend. ![]() ![]() And by teaching her about difference, you are equipping her to survive in a diverse world. Because difference is the reality of our world. And the reason for this is not to be fair or to be nice but merely to be human and practical. Teach her not to attach value to difference. ![]() ![]() It has graphic descriptions of murder scenes, ritualistic sex, cult rituals, corporal self-punishments, etc, which I would be very cautious about offering to young teens. But now as a parent of advanced reading tween and teen, I hesitate to recommend to young readers. It is fast moving, captivating action mystery that I could not put the book down. As an adult, I really enjoyed the book and recommend to anyone who enjoys murder mystery. This is a great fictional murder mystery book. A young readers' edition of The Da Vinci Code, intended for teens, was released in the United States in 2016 and eliminated much of the sexual content. The book was adapted for a 2006 film starring Tom Hanks, which spawned a 2009 sequel, Angels & Demons. There are mentions of ritualistic sex, and graphic violence includes several brutal murders a splayed, naked dead body and a religious zealot engaging in self-harm with a cilice (essentially a spiked chain) tightened around his thigh at all times. ![]() It weaves a controversial hypothesis about the life of Jesus that challenges the notion of his divinity, and it portrays the Catholic Church as suppressing this alternative narrative. The novel has ideas that may be intellectually confusing for kids, and even many adults. ![]() Parents need to know that Dan Brown's mega-selling The Da Vinci Code is a complicated thriller written for adults and involves clues embedded in the artwork of Leonardo Da Vinci.
