On Monday, Siby held talks with the District Collector who assured her that there will be constant spraying of water in the area around the debris to contain the dust.

I just got grossed out every time he said anything to Fallon. When I first read that I 100% read that as Ben Ten. However, the difference between them is that you are supposed to dislike Verity and Leeds but Ben and Fallon you are meant to care about and feel for them.īenton James Kessler. This is not the first time Colleen Hoover has had me disliking main characters for example Verity from Verity and Leeds from Layla. However, the characters in this book were the worst. ![]() You can give a terrible plot and subplot, but as long as you have good relatable characters that grow over time, I will love it. Okay, so let’s talk about the reason this book was not my favourite. ![]() It is normal and I still have every intention of reading many more Colleen Hoover books in the future. So it is understandable that I have found a format that I do not love. I mean I knew it would eventually happen as Colleen Hoover herself has said she writes very different styles and genres for every book. I hate to say it but this book did not grab my attention as all the others did. You follow their story for seven years, every November 9 different from the last. They meet and instantly feel a connection and agree to see each other every year on the same day. This book follows Fallon and Ben as they meet on the day Fallon is moving to the other side of the country. ![]() ![]() ![]() Claire must fight to hold onto her sanity and find out what really happened on the Aurora, before she and her crew meet the same ghastly fate.Īt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied. But a quick trip through the Aurora reveals something isn’t right. A salvage claim like this could set Claire and her crew up for life. What they find at the other end of the signal is a shock: the Aurora, a famous luxury space-liner that vanished on its maiden tour of the solar system more than twenty years ago. With nothing to lose and no desire to return to Earth, Claire and her team decide to investigate.

I received this book for free from the Publisher. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But one thing is for sure: this season is shaping up to be one of the worst on record. Whether it is man-made or naturally occurring remains to be seen. The Equatorials have been obliterated in a seismic catastrophe that will come to be known as the Rifting. ![]() Jemisin introduces us to the tumultuous landscape of The Stillness on a particularly bad day for one of our protagonists, Essun. For thousands of years, a war has been raging on between Father Earth, orogenes (those who can quell and control seismic activity), and stills (those who cannot). Welcome to The Stillness! You haven’t come at a great time… although, on a supercontinent plagued with near-constant climatic cataclysms (known as Seasons), maybe there isn’t a good time. But this is the way the world ends… For the last time. When we say “the world has ended,” it is usually a lie, because the planet is just fine.

Its existence raises questions about Hubbard's "testamentary capacity" in his final months – was he out of it on Demerol? Hubbard was such an enigma that inferring any kind of motive is tricky. Just to complicate matters, there is another will – a more conventional one, that rewards the children and excludes Lang. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The photographs of antique makeup (think gorgeously embellished lipstick tubes) and advertisements (some very sexist to a modern reader) really add to the narrative her. The companies themselves also have short biographies, from Revlon (it wasn’t a good week for them when I was reading this) to Chanel. The book then looks at the role of media in advertising makeup and the initial innovators, such as Max Factor. Interspersed through the chapters are short biographies of women who were makeup muses, some well known (e.g., Marilyn Monroe) and some not known to me. The book opens by examining three major colours in beauty – and no, pink isn’t one of them – and one isn’t used that much in current trends. ![]() Interestingly, the book isn’t structured as you would expect with all makeup discussed chronologically or a discussion of each product. In this gorgeously illustrated hardcover book, Eldridge covers the history of makeup and what things may look like in the future. A highly skilled makeup artist with her own cosmetics line (the lipsticks are brilliant), she also knows a great deal about the history of makeup. To those who really enjoy makeup, Lisa Eldridge is a well-known name. Why I chose it: Love Lisa Eldridge’s lipsticks and makeup artistry. The not-so-good: Some topics I wanted to know more about in more depth. The good: Very interesting with some great photographs. In brief: The history of makeup, from colours to the cosmetics and the companies. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() and a cast of other top art talents, Roger Stern reinvigorated the life of everyone's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
