I love Janet Evanovich & Phoef Sutton books as the charmed series. Would you try another book from Janet Evanovich and Phoef Sutton and/or Lorelei King? A plan so sinister that only a megalomaniac could think it up, and only the unlikely duo of the irrepressibly charming Emerson Knight and the tenacious Riley Moon can stop it. Through the streets of Washington, DC, and down into the underground vault of the Federal Reserve in New York City, an evil plan is exposed. What starts off as an inquiry about missing bank funds in the Knight account leads to inquiries about a missing man, missing gold, and a life-and-death race across the country. At least Riley Moon thought it was her dream job, until she is given her first assignment: babysitting Emerson Knight. Her aggressive Texas spitfire attitude has helped her land her dream job as a junior analyst with megabank Blane-Grunwald. Riley Moon has just graduated from Harvard Business and Harvard Law. Good thing he's also brilliant, rich, and (some people might say) handsome, or he'd probably be homeless. Janet Evanovich, number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Stephanie Plum series, teams up with Emmy-winning writer Phoef Sutton for a brand-new series of mysteries featuring Emerson Knight and Riley Moon, a dynamic duo with instant and undeniable chemistry.Įmerson Knight is introverted and eccentric and has little to no sense of social etiquette.

Good Time (2012) (Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen) Can’t Stop the Feeling – Justin Timberlake Walking On Sunshine – Kartina & The Waves Pocket Full of Sunshine – Natasha Bedingfield 6/7/2023 0 Comments Edwin abbott booksHaving his mind opened to the existence of other dimensions "A Square" posits the theoretical possibility of the existence of four, five, and six dimensional worlds, an idea which gets him thrown out of "Spaceland" in disgrace. Subsequently he is visited by "A Sphere", an inhabitant of a three-dimensional world called "Spaceland", which he fails to comprehend until he sees it for himself. On the eve of the third millennium "A Square" dreams of a one-dimensional world, "Lineland", that is inhabited by "lustrous points". In addition to a brilliant work of satire "Flatland" is a thought-provoking examination of the bounds of physical space. Through this device Abbott satirizes the seemingly arbitrary hierarchy of the Victorian era. With the use of a geometric theme, Abbott weaves the fascinating tale of "A Square", an inhabitant of "Flatland", a two-dimensional world where women are portrayed as simple line-segments and men are represented as polygons whose social status is determined by the number and regularity of their sides. First published in 1884, "Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions" is English schoolmaster Edwin Abbott's classic work of science fiction. The book's real treat, though, comes when Price discusses the development of the groundbreaking movie Toy Story, a project that underwent many changes from conception to final version, driven by the stubborn commitment of John Lasseter and other leads to get everything right. We see its tumultuous history with the cantankerous Apple founder and an increasingly corporate Disney. We learn about Pixar's early days trying to find its way as a subsidiary of Lucasfilm, and its struggles to stay afloat after being purchased by Steve Jobs. Price begins in the 1970s with the backstories of the company's key members, and proceeds forward, providing an engaging condensed history of computer graphics and animation along the way. I think anyone who's a fan of Pixar's films will enjoy this well-researched, thoroughly readable book. 6/7/2023 0 Comments Lj shen ruthless rivalI really didn’t believe she didn’t recognise him, particularly given his supposed distinctive eyes. I didn’t particularly like either of the main characters, Arya was naïve to the point of irritating. Other than that though the narration added to the story as always. I had to play at 1.1 in order to hear it at what sounded like normal speed. The narrators were great, if a little slow. I’ve listened to or read most of LJ Shen’s books and loved almost all of them. But when she finds out who he really is and about his obsession with getting revenge on her father, can she choose love over family? Past and present collide as Arya falls hard for Christian. Christian Miller is charming, ambitious, and devilishly good looking, and Arya has no idea he is that same boy who kissed her all those years ago.

So when her father is sued by a former employee, Arya sets out to prove that her father is not the monster he is accused of being. Now, two decades later, Arya is an on-the-rise publicist with her beloved father as one of her biggest clients. Soon, friendship turned to young love, and when Arya dared him to kiss her, a chain reaction of disastrous events led to the boy being sent away and out of Arya’s life. When she was young, Arya Roth became best friends with her housekeeper’s son. Shen comes an enemies-to-lovers romance about the fine line between seeking revenge and finding love. From Wall Street Journal bestselling author L.J. In the year since receiving the experimental treatment, she's had no severe pain or hospitalization. It affects about 100,000 Americans, including Victoria Gray, a Mississippi mother of four who became the first American to be treated with CRISPR-fixed genes. They include muscular dystrophy, cystic fibrosis, Huntington's disease, and sickle-cell disease, a blood disorder that brings debilitating pain, infections, and early death. About 7,000 human diseases are caused by gene mutations that, in theory, we can simply snip away. Those medical treatments show off CRISPR's most jaw-dropping possibilities. Clinical trials are underway to treat some cancers using CRISPR techniques. Scientists have bred more nutritious tomatoes, and created a wheat that doesn't contain gluten. Since Doudna published her paper in 2012, a lot's been going on in the world's CRISPR labs. "And then I realized by the end, I was understating the case." "When I started this book, I thought, 'OK, biotechnology and CRISPR, it's the most amazing thing happening in our time,'" Isaacson said. His latest, "The Code Breaker" (published by Simon & Schuster, part of ViacomCBS), is about Jennifer Doudna and her work on CRISPR. Walter Isaacson is the author of bestselling books about Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs. The segregating of the races was a relative newcomer to the region.Hailed as one of the top 100 nonfiction works of Reconstruction, there was considerable economic and political mixing of the races. Woodward convincingly shows that, even under slavery, the two races had not been divided as they were under the Jim Crow laws of the 1890s. called it "the historical Bible of the civil rights movement." The book offers a clear and illuminating analysis of the history of Jim Crow laws, presenting evidence that segregation in the South dated only to the 1890s. Strange Career was cited so often to counter arguments for segregation that Martin Luther King, Jr. Board of Education ordered schools desegregated, Published in 1955, a year after the Supreme Court in Brown v. Indeed, the book actually helped shape that history.

Vann Woodward, who died in 1999 at the age of 91, was America's most eminent Southern historian, the winner of a Pulitzer Prize for Mary Chestnut's Civil War and a Bancroft Prize for The Origins of the New South. 6/6/2023 0 Comments Crush by Carrie MacShe's about to discover victim and tormentor are not easily defined and how quickly the two become flipsides of the same coin. But 14-year-old Zoe Anderson's ordeal has only begun. When the tines turn orange and Zoe silently, desperately lists the constellations she cannot see-Ursa Major, Orion, Andromeda-they press the glowing fork to the flesh of her inner right arm and brand her. They drive her out to Mill Lake and in the corner of the bandstand, in the flame of a butane torch, they heat a fork, the handle wrapped in a wad of masking tape so it won't get too hot to hold. One starless night the Beckoners come for Zoe. 6/5/2023 0 Comments Rogue protocolIt's hard to complain because Martha Wells does this stuff so well, but it's also hard to be too surprised or blown away because this is very much More of the Same (including the full novel cover price for a story that's just 150 pages long), with a few twists. Mystery, explosions and a semi-resolution which leads into the next novella in the series, Exit Strategy. If it has a problem, it's that in terms of structure we are getting the same thing we've seen before. Rogue Protocol is great because it exemplifies the best qualities of the first two novellas: a knowing sense of humour, some great characterisation and a gift for both knotty plotting and chunky action. |
