Touch Me with Fire by Nicole Jordan5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() He will have her-whether she is the innocent runaway she claims to be, or the skilled seductress he suspects she is. Blaise trembles at his very touch, helpless to resist his sensual kisses. Yet his soul bears the scars of war and a woman’s treachery, and his searing blue eyes speak with a passion that belies his noble blood. With the face and form of an Adonis, and charisma that comes only with wealth and good breeding, Julian is undoubtedly an aristocrat. But after encountering Julian Morrow, Viscount Lynden, she is caught in his spell. James, her violet eyes blazing with resolve and her raven-haired allure disguised under drab servants’ clothes, flees her privileged life rather than be married off to some unfeeling English gentleman. ![]() “Can be summed up with one word: Hot! The characters are bigger than life, believable, and all contained in a great story that grabs you on the first page. “A sizzling sensuous love story (that) will touch your heart!” ![]()

Moondance by Frank Asch5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Most children in elementary school won't need help with pronunciation but it is still a good idea to have someone around to help just in case.Īnd what I most definitely like about this book is that it teaches children that not all desires are meant to be answered right away but can take time and that sometimes you have to be just as creative in your responses to what you are given. The writing is simple and easy to follow so this is a great book for adults to read to children just before they go to sleep or even for them to read during the day when you want silent time. ![]() And although I just came upon the realization that this is book is a part of a series it is more definitely one of those in which you don't have to read it in order that the books are given since there aren't that many relations to each book besides the main character, his friend the bird and the moon. ![]() This has been one of those interesting reads from my childhood and while I may not remember exactly as to how the full story goes when coming upon it in a list I am reminded of its relation to my earlier reading years. ![]() Young avengers jim cheung5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Young Avengers Reading Order Young Avengers Vol. There is no prior reading for Young Avengers, as their adventures are self-contained, but it’s the perfect place to indicate that the series follows the events of the 2004–2005 Avengers Disassembled storyline ( check out the Reading Order). Since their formation in 2005, the Young Avengers had only two runs, but some members are now popular characters in the Marvel Universe. Their first order of business: surviving the wrath of Kang the Conqueror! Second? Weathering the disapproval of the adult Avengers! But when their teammate Billy’s magical powers spiral out of control, the Young Avengers set out to find the one person who might help: the Scarlet Witch, who might be Billy’s mother…and whose own uncontrollable powers caused the Avengers’ dissolution! Once the young heroes find her, nothing will ever be the same! Here is the official synopsis: When the original Avengers disband, costumed teens Patriot, Asgardian, Hulkling, Iron Lad, Hawkeye, and Stature unite to fill the gap. The newspapers labeled those young heroes the “Young Avengers”, a name that they didn’t like, but better than Avenger babies or Avengers sidekicks. Created by Allan Heinberg and Jim Cheung, the Young Avengers are a superhero team featuring numerous adolescents with powers, costumes, and codenames inspired by classic Avengers members. ![]() ![]() ![]() I thought the romance was so cute! It was one of those everyone can see it but them which really added to the angst of things. This book is taking place in maybe a regency era or something along those lines, but everything else feels modern. Kinda along the same lines, the use of modern language and some modern technology (you'll know it when you see it) was well done and so funny. And while it was not subtle (I mean, our main character's name is Brie for crying out loud), it made the story that much more enjoyable. ![]() ![]() Obviously, this book revolves around cheese so we get lots of cheese names, cheese jokes, cheese everything. I mean, seriously, the puns were everything. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect from this book going in (based on the kooky title and all), but I loooooved it! ![]() Vita nostra a novel5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Yet despite her fear, Sasha undergoes changes that defy the dictates of matter and time experiences which are nothing she has ever dreamed of. ![]() Using terror and coercion to keep the students in line, the school does not punish them for their transgressions and failures instead, it is their families that pay a terrible price.

I have to leave immediately," Isabella explained in her most authoritative voice. Really, I must see him, and if I don't leave soon, the pass will be closed, and I won't be able to get out. It took me far longer than I expected to reach this place. She could not fail her brother his life was at stake. She could not quit now, could not allow fear to defeat her at the last moment. Now she had found the lair, and she had entered it. She had persevered because she had no other choice. Time and time again her inquiries had been met with silent shakes of heads and signs of the cross. Others had come back to her facedown on the back of a horse, with hideous wounds much like a wild animal might inflict. One by one the men she had sent out had turned back and told her it was impossible to continue. And she had done what all others had failed to do. She had come here for a purpose, risked everything to get to this place, to see the elusive don. Isabella could feel terror welling up inside her, sharp and strong, but she forced herself to breathe through it.
