5/30/2023 0 Comments Gilded cages r phoenix epubIt’s the first installment in the "Gilded Cages" series and it’s a bit cliffy but not huge one. I hate some of them in my books, I tried them before but I couldn’t even go more than 2 chapters before but the interesting part is I really liked this one! I don’t know why! Maybe I was in the right mood or maybe it was on the author’s writing, I don’t know! But I really liked it! It was told in dual POV, 1st person. This book contains Ageplay, ABDL, Puppy play, Stockholm syndrome, Kidnapping, Slavery, Sexual scenes with dubious or lack of consent. Phoenix has all the things that make me uncomfortable and nervous. Imo it is not that dark, i wonder why Amazon removed it from their website, yet they sell, BDSM sex toys and diapers. It would have been 5 stars but i felt like it ended abruptly, i wanted more. The mind games daddy played with this two would break anyone's heart. i really wanted to know what made Daddy, a Daddy! I love Daddy!! □Lawd! I sound like Cammy.Ĭammy and Zay broke my little perverted peanut heart to pieces. Though i felt a little bit let down that we didn't get to know him more. When i say puppy i mean this:ĭaddy is one fucked up psycho, his character was really interesting. This is the story of Daddy, His boy Cammy and Cammy's puppy Zay. The writing is interesting and readable, so easy to follow. Thanks for the little nudge, i got my fix. Lawd the kind of fuckery in this world! Who knew i would enjoy Age play, Diaper play/Diaper lover? Umm maybe Jan, Moony and Xia. 5/30/2023 0 Comments Free culture by lawrence lessigGoodReads only had to revoke the new policy and its enforcement, and civil disobedience may calm.

The narrative focuses on Miles' struggle to balance the duties of his civilian persona and his role as the second Spider-Man when his new home, Harlem, is threatened by a war between the Roxxon Energy Corporation and a high-tech criminal army called the Underground, led by the mysterious Tinkerer. The game is a spin-off sequel to Marvel's Spider-Man (2018), and the second installment in Insomniac's Spider-Man series. Based on the Marvel Comics character Miles Morales, it is inspired by both the character's decade-long comic book mythology and the 2018 animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which helped popularize him. Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales is a 2020 action-adventure video game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. 5/30/2023 0 Comments 20th century ghost storiesMurphy, Jane Suzanne Carroll, Philip Coleman.

In this study of the ghostly genre, writers examined include both the familiar and the not-so expected the works of, among others, M.R. Whether in the Usher or the Old Library Bram Stoker knew so well, the scholars of Trinity still pursue the haunted moment and ask, ‘Is a ghost there if no one sees it?’ Beginning with the ghost story of popular report and following the form into print as the local expands to the global, these essays trace the movement from the almost palpable manifestations of traditional ghosts to the psychological terrors of the modern form. These studies of the literary ghost story cast a light on its subjects and its methods. Indeed the development of the literary ghost story helped to make short fiction what it is today: a genre of the intuited rather than the known, compressed and fleeting in its nature. A descendant of the fireside tale, the short story has never neglected the uncanny. 5/30/2023 0 Comments The institute stephenThe Institute houses a number of other kidnapped children, each with special talents- telekinesis and telepathy. Luke wakes up in a room almost identical to his own at "the Institute," a facility secretly located deep in the forests of Maine. One night, intruders silently murder Luke's parents and kidnap him. A decorated former policeman, Tim takes a job as a local patrolman, and soon develops a relationship with a deputy, Wendy Gullickson.Īnother storyline begins in suburban Minneapolis with Luke Ellis, a twelve-year-old intellectual prodigy with mild telekinetic abilities. By coincidence, en route, he gives up a seat on a plane and finds himself in the small town of DuPray, South Carolina. Tim Jamieson leaves his job in Florida and prepares to head to New York City. The Institute was published on September 10, 2019, and met with generally positive reviews. When his parents are murdered, he is kidnapped by intruders and awakens in the Institute, a facility that houses other abducted children who have telepathy or telekinesis. The book follows twelve-year-old genius Luke Ellis. The Institute is a 2019 American science fiction- horror thriller novel by Stephen King, published by Scribner. We can right the mistakes of our previous “lives.” In our virtual worlds, death is not permanent, we get to try again. The title takes on additional significance when placed against computer games. I would never have expected a book steeped in the history of computer games to provide an apposite observation of the national condition, but we do live in unprecedented times (again). In a week where thousands of people queue for many hours to spend but one minute in the company of the coffin of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” feels like a soliloquy for a nation. Tomorrow³, unsurprisingly, leans into the famous quote from Macbeth in which Macbeth meditates on the fleeting nature of life the meaninglessness of existence without his wife by his side. Sat in the darkness of my bedroom, under the weak light of a lamp, I was struck by how the death of someone, whether we know them or not, is cause for reflection. It was late at night when I reached the book’s most tragic moment. Yet, at the same time, there is that oppressive feeling that everything will stay the same. A few days after the death of the Queen, I was reading Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin. The death of Queen Elizabeth II gives the sense that nothing will ever be the same again. It’s been a strange week or so in the UK. 5/29/2023 0 Comments Aurora stanley robinsonThis is free download Aurora by Kim Stanley Robinson complete book soft copy.

It's in the Dedication in the beginning of The Ringworld Engineers (1980), which he starts by saying, more or less, "RINGWORLD is now ten years old. I think he described his reasons somewhere, such as in the introduction to The Ringworld Engineers or somewhe- (Let me check.) Yes. I also mentioned I enjoy the book RINGWORLD (1970) by Larry Niven and the later ones expanding upon the lore, all of which contain Ringworld in their titles and were written, in part, because Niven received such positive responses regarding the first book and wanted more, including expanding upon the physics of such an amazing scientific construct. People who had previously read what I wrote might not have noticed the more-recent expansions upon and edits to descriptions of Wolfe's Sun Saga and Saberhagen's Swords books. Because it was merely an edit, I'm not sure it shows up on most forum users' "Latest Activity" feeds, so I'm mentioning it here.

Tamiko and her classmates are brought to a damp, repurposed theater to make large paper balloons to help the military. Soon the girls' lives become inextricably linked. She also wishes the boy next door, Joey, would talk to her again like he used to. In rural Oregon, Nellie spends her time lying in the grass, studying the stars, and wishing for her pa to return from the war. She wishes she could be brave like him and help the war effort. In southern Japan, Tamiko spends her time writing in her diary, dreaming of making theatrical costumes, and praying her brother Kyo makes it back from the war. In this thoughtful and deftly woven WWII novel, an American and Japanese teen with lives on opposite ends of the world discover that hate for an "enemy" leaves a heavy heart. |
