After he moves to a new town, he suffers another reversal when a thief steals a small fortune he had amassed from his weaving trade. Silas Marner: the Weaver of Raveloe is a realistic novel centering on a humble weaver who renounces religion and humanity after members of his church find him guilty of a crime he did not commit. Its narrative voice, unlike that in Eliot’s longer works of fiction, is restrained, telling the story simply and swiftly, making pithy comments only occasionally. ![]() It may appear to have been written with spontaneity and ease, but, in fact, it is brilliantly crafted. The novel presents the story of a Silas Marner, a weaver in Raveloe who loses his fortune and gains a treasure. ![]() An outwardly simple tale of a linen weaver. 5/30/2023 0 Comments Coddiwomple by S.E. Harmon![]() ![]() Noah was adopted, though he's reconnected with his birth mom. ![]() ![]() They also both share parental issues, though for different reasons. Both men have pasts that make it hard for them to trust in love or commitment. I really enjoyed the push and pull between the two MC's and how there was a role reversal in a way toward the end. If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be? He doesn't do a ton of different voices per say, but he manages to change tone just enough to make it easy for the listener to know when there's a change in POV. As I said above, his vocal tones really fit for younger characters and storylines. Have you listened to any of Michael Stellman’s other performances before? How does this one compare? What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?Īside from the narration I enjoyed following along as both Drew and Noah grew exponentially from where the story started to where it ended. Michael Stellman has a youthful, vibrancy to his voice that truly encapsulated the characters in this story. What made the experience of listening to So into You the most enjoyable? Great narration made an ok story fantastic. ![]() ![]() There will be rapid rise of computer power by the next century. This chapter deals with the future of machines.

Update : Moviegoers agonizing over the breakdown of Nancy Meyers’ latest film (one that was meant to bring her out of retirement), don’t cry into your cashmere just yet. Meyers' Blockbuster Film Won't Make It To Netflix Meyers' films are much loved for their charming love stories and stunning home aesthetic. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, despite its impressive star cast, the streamer has decided not to proceed with the film. The film was in negotiation for a $150 million budget, which would make it one of the most expensive romcoms to date. " Paris Paramount" is said to have been a working title for the project. The writer-director has helmed several critically acclaimed romantic comedies through the decades, including " Father of the Bride," " It's Complicated," " The Holiday," and " The Parent Trap." Her last project was the 2015 comedy-drama " The Intern," starring actors Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. Meyers was set to collaborate with the streamer for her newest big-budgeted romantic comedy " Paris Paramount," but Netflix has pulled the plug on the movie (via The Wrap). Netflix has scrapped another exciting project - this time, from renowned filmmaker Nancy Meyers. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments If cats disappeared from the world![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The postman is diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour, and told he could die any day. The blurb wooed me immediately: a 30-year-old postman lives alone with his loyal cat Cabbage. And it came to me, in the mystical way books are prone to do, exactly when I needed it. Although it’s the author’s debut, it has achieved international success, having sold over one million copies in Japan to date. The book in question is called If Cats Disappeared From The World, and is written by Japanese writer and film producer Genki Kawamura. And around a week ago I was drawn to a book simply by its cover, which, though largely simplistic, featured gold-tinting, and a gorgeous painting of a very adorable little black cat. It’s awful, but it hasn’t failed me so far. ![]() But what we all really know is that we, in fact, do.

Going away from it we were half drowned in tears. We played in or on the lake or on the hills above. ![]() The answer is that it had its beginning long, long ago when, as children, my brother, my sisters and I spent most of our holidays on a farm at the south end of Coniston. In a 1958 author's note, Ransome wrote: ''I have been often asked how I came to write Swallows and Amazons. On their return to England, he bought a cottage near Windermere in the Lake District and began writing children's stories. He played chess with Lenin and married Trotsky's personal secretary, Evgenia Petrovna Shelepina. In 1917 when the Russian Revolution began he became a journalist and was a special correspondent of the Guardian. He had an adventurous life - as a baby he was carried by his father to the top of the Old Man of Coniston, a peak that is 2,276 ft high! He went to Russia in 1913 to study folklore and in 1914, at the start of World War I he became a foreign correspondent for the Daily News. ARTHUR RANSOME was born in Leeds in 1884. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments Roadside picnic book![]() The novel follows the career of one such stalker, Redrick Schuhart:- Review(s): "'Roadside Picnic' is an immensely powerful work, a sustained imaginative vision which resonates in the reader's mind long after the book is finished. The possible rewards of such a discovery are sufficient to persuade some people to risk entering the Zone, either in official scientific explorations, or as clandestine 'stalkers', feeding a flourishing black market. ![]() Much of it is highly dangerous, but there are some artifacts - such as self-reproducing, everlasting batteries - which revolutionise man's technology. The debris left behind by the aliens - the equivalent, it is theorised, of the litter we might scatter around at a picnic - is as incomprehensible as they are. The setting of 'Roadside Picnic' is the Zone - part of Canada which has been the scene of a mysterious alien visit. They have the distinction of being the first sf writers actually to have their work go into space, one of the Soyuz-17 astronauts having taken a Strugatsky novel to read during the mission. Translated from the Russian by Antonina W Bouis:- Synopsis: The Strugatsky brothers are the leading sf writers in Russia - a country where science fiction is even more popular than in the West. © 1972: A stand-alone novel by Arkady & Boris Strugatsky.

"Can you imagine the Internet videos? I'd be a bloody legend.” This series started off well for me but as it progressed, I kind of felt a bit let down. "Does anyone else feel the sudden need for a shag?" And.it just continues. ![]() Always happy to accommodate a preference."Īt first, I actually laughed at some of the things he comes out with but after a while, his lines become boring and monotonous - all this slapstick stuff!!! "Grand," Ian said in a tone that implied he felt the opposite. ![]() Take me to your bed, I promise endless delights. I liked Ian, the badass vampire we were first introduced in the Night Huntress Series but in this book he comes across as a really irritating and idiotic.his lines were most of the time, really tasteless!!! "Ah, Leotie, my beauteous poppet, I take back everything I said about you being an uppity crone. It was a series of fights, and more fights.killings and more killings of bad guys!!! And Leila and Vlad dashing off from one place to another trying to find more bad guys to kill!!! The big Vlad and Leila love story finale!!! But where was the love, the romance? Into the Fire, the 4th and final book in the Night Prince Series.to be honest.this book didn't do it for me!~!! At all!!!!! ![]() |
