THE TEMPERATURE OF ME AND YOU is the story of first love, and the lengths we'll go to figure out our hearts. But if the attraction between them defies the laws of physics, love may be the only thing that can keep Jordan and Dylan together. Jordan's revelations of why he's like this, where he came from, and who's after him leaves Dylan realizing how much first love is truly out of this world. But as the pressure mounts and Dylan becomes distant with his closest friends and family, he pushes Jordan for answers. Jordan forces Dylan to keep his symptoms a secret. When the boys start spending time together, Dylan begins feeling all kinds of ways, and when he spikes a fever for two weeks and is suddenly coughing flames, he thinks he might be suffering from something more than just a crush. Then, in walks Jordan, a completely normal (and undeniably cute) boy who also happens to run at a cool 110 degrees Fahrenheit. Dylan has always wanted a boyfriend, but the suburbs surrounding Philadelphia do not have a lot in the way of options. Sixteen-year-old Dylan Highmark thought his winter was going to be full of boring shifts at the Dairy Queen, until he finds himself in love with a boy who's literally too hot to handle. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Robopocalypse by Daniel H.

I urge you to listen to a sample of the book before you spend money on it. His 'normal', John Smith voice is barely tolerable (while I know that this is a YA book, Kaplan's almost Valley Girl tone for John grates after awhile) - and the voices he uses for the female characters and other male characters was enough to make me rip my earbuds from my head in disgust (Although his Henri - gravelly, French - is wonderful). The narrator, Adam Kaplan, drove me insane and is the sole reason I stopped listening to this book. I wish I could tell you more about the story, but in all honesty I stopped listening at chapter 4. John Smith, our hero, is Lorian Number 4, and with when One Two and Three are killed, he knows it's only a matter of time before they come for him. The Lorians can only be killed by the Mogardorians in numerical sequence. The initial premise is good: 9 Lorians and their Keepers escape to Earth from their home planet, only to be hunted down by the Mogadorians. With "I Am Number Four" being made into a Hollywood blockbuster, and with what appeared to be an interesting storyline, I was eager to add this title to my growing audio book collection for the commute to and from work. 5/21/2023 0 Comments The lady astronaut seriesYou’re also welcome to use my sweet shortcrust pastry dough recipe if you’d like to use a more classic dough. The pictured pie uses my my press-in pie crust. You are welcome to use a store-bought crust, though I found that it tended to turn too crispy in the oven compared to a homemade option. The first book, The Calculating Stars, is a great place to start, but technically each book in the series is written so that you could (hypothetically) read it as a standalone novel. These books have been favorite vacation reads of mine for several years, and they’re a nice “gateway series” if you aren’t normally a fan of science fiction. This bookish bake was inspired by The Lady Astronaut Series by Mary Robinette Kowal – an alternate-history scientific fiction series in which women were more prominently featured in the 1950’s space race and moon landing. If you enjoy sweets, you are sure to savor chess pie. With a rich custard filling and a slightly crunchy top, it almost tastes like pecan pie without the pecans. While this Yankee had never heard of chess pie before adulthood, it has quickly earned a spot in our favored recipe repertoire. “What kind of dessert are you baking?” “Oh honey, it’s just pie!” According to legend, the latter phrase – when spoken in a thick Southern accent – is how chess pie got its name. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Hunted by Abi KetnerWhat started out as an enjoyable hobby has now become an incredible adventure.

Keen senses, large canine teeth, powerful jaws, and the ability to pursue prey at 60 km (37 miles) per hour equip the gray wolf well for a predatory way of life.

Benjamin Black – who is, of course, the Booker prizewinner John Banville – has succeeded astonishingly well, so much so that I almost had to keep reminding myself that I wasn’t reading a newly discovered Chandler. I’m a great admirer of Raymond Chandler and started this novel with some trepidation – so many writers of hard-boiled detective fiction have tried to follow in his footsteps, but none has really matched up, for me at least. I’d just about decided to call a halt to my own reading of them when this came my way and oh how glad I am that it did. Dead writers are being revived at an alarming rate these days, some more successfully than others. This is Philip Marlowe in typically self-reflexive mode, here towards the end of Benjamin Black’s extraordinary piece of literary ventriloquism. 5/20/2023 0 Comments Ghost Light by Joseph O'ConnorI have two main objections, though:įirstly: We’re talking real people here. Many years later, Molly, now a poverty-stricken old woman, makes her way through London’s bomb-scarred city streets, alone but for a snowdrift of memories.» A young actress begins an affair with a damaged older man, the leading playwright at the theatre where she works. The synopsis from Adlibris reads: «Dublin, 1907. And, well, I think I still want to read some Joseph O’Connor, but not this book. Then the book drowned in some pile or another and resurfaced recently, so I started it. In this case, I was quite pleased, as I’ve been wanting to read Joseph O’Connor. The book was a present from my father for Christmas, a continuation of his very pleasant habit of buying us all a paperback – quite frequently he buys something he wants to read himself rather than something he has read, which is possibly riskier, but also more fun. This is not a review, so much as an explanation of why I (probably) will not finish Ghost Light by Joseph O’Connor. 5/20/2023 0 Comments The bean trees coverKingsolver was born in Annapolis, Maryland in 1955 and grew up in Carlisle in rural Kentucky.
