Despite her intense desire to live a quiet, boring life, Amanda’s family, including her identical (except in smell) twin sister, are all wrapped up the occult somehow. She’s an accountant, she doesn’t like fun, and she dates guys that she knows she’s not really that into because she wants stability. It is a story about a woman named Amanda Devereaux, who is excessively normal. Let me sum up Night Pleasures real quick. What do you get when you take a pretty, but otherwise average, easy-going, modern American woman and suddenly embroil her in a world of vampires, demons, and other secret supernatural threats that lurk in the shadows of our everyday world, introducing her along the way to a brooding, menacing, snarky, but ultimately good vampire who happens to be the hottest man she’s ever seen? Well, if you’re lucky you get Buffy! If you’re not so lucky, you might end up with Night Pleasures.

Not only has a jealous Tom spent the night watching Shiv talk to both Lukas Matsson and her ex, political strategist Nate Sofrelli, but she's been telling everyone Tom's about to get the chop. It's a throwaway comment, but it foreshadows the devastating fight that finally erupts between the pair after months of tension and toxicity. "It's like, I love you but you kill me, and I kill you," Tom explains upon gifting Shiv a scorpion paper weight which does not land as expected. We need to talk about that huge fallout between Tom and Shiv To paraphrase Lesley Gore, it's Tom Wambsgans party and he'll go to bed early if he wants to.Īnd who can blame him? It's the night before the election and he's considered a dead man walking in a room of 40 of the most powerful people in America.Īdd in the fact that Kendall and Roman, hoping to work the angles, have invited Shiv's former flame to their soiree and it's a recipe for disaster. After her bow, Violet knows something is wrong – something which is confirmed when her father tells her that her mother’s flight is missing. Her mother is a pilot for an international flight and was supposed to be there. Violet was the set designer for her high school play, and right before she goes to take a bow, she notices her mother is not yet in the audience. THE GRAVITY OF MISSING THINGS is an emotional YA contemporary. *Review Contributed by Olivia Farr, Staff Reviewer* Just as I start to open up, the answer to what really happened to Flight 133 could rip my world apart all over again-for good this time. All I know is falling for him will only make things more complicated. I have my secrets, the same way Mom has hers. I want to trust him, to let him see who I really am, but I can’t. Now it feels like someone split my world-and me-in two, and the only person who believes me is Landon. No one else knows that before she left, she wrote me a note. The pilot was my mom, and there’s no way she would hurt anyone. Suddenly, everyone on the news and social media is talking about whether the pilot intentionally crashed it-everyone but me. A pitch-perfect and inclusive coming-of-age drama perfect for fans of Kathleen Glasgow.įlight 133 disappeared over the ocean.

She wanted to numb the pain and escape her thoughts and her marriage and the only way she could do that was by cheating on her loving husband with Arsen. But slowly, after four miscarriages, the hurt and broken dreams becomes too much for Cathy and all that is left is a cold empty shell where her heart once beat. It tells the story of Cathy and Ben's perfect marriage and deep love they have for each other and this is also told in flashbacks of how they first met and fell in love. IT'S RAW, IT'S HEARTBREAKING & VERY ADDICTIVE TOOīe prepared because this tragic love story is full of heartache, regrets and pain. And he’s clearly waiting with one hand on the throttle to fly this city girl back to where she belongs, convinced that she’s too pampered to handle the wild. While she struggles to adjust to this rugged environment, Jonah-the unkempt, obnoxious, and proud Alaskan pilot who helps keep her father’s charter plane company operational-can’t imagine calling anywhere else home. She braves the roaming wildlife, the odd daylight hours, the exorbitant prices, and even the occasional-dear God-outhouse, all for the chance to connect with her father: a man who, despite his many faults, she can’t help but care for. But when Calla learns that Wren’s days may be numbered, she knows that it’s time to make the long trip back to the remote frontier town where she was born. Calla never looked back, and at twenty-six, a busy life in Toronto is all she knows. This guide is intended for book clubs to use, but because I’m not in a book club and as far as I’m aware there are no clubs in my area, I figured I’d do it all by myself and share my thoughts online.Ĭalla Fletcher wasn’t even two when her mother took her and fled the Alaskan wild, unable to handle the isolation of the extreme, rural lifestyle, leaving behind Calla’s father, Wren Fletcher, in the process. So these questions actually come from Book Club Discussion Guide - The Simple Wild on K.A Tuckers Website (find the guide HERE). Today I figured I’d do something new and post sort of book discussion about on one of the books I’ve read recently that I really enjoyed, The Simple Wild by K.A Tucker.

Her trips to Ethiopia and Somalia demonstrated her whole-hearted and tireless commitment. With his assistance, from 1988 until the end of her life, Hepburn became special ambassador for the United Nations Children's Fund. In 1980 she met and fell in love with Rob Wolders, the widower of Merle Oberon. In the late 1950s and the 1960s, her star shone brighter with leads in Sabrina, The Nun's Story, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Wait Until Dark and My Fair Lady. Beginning with her childhood in Nazi-occupied Holland, he weaves the tale of her storybook career, its dizzying launch after the liberation, her title role on Broadway in Gigi, and her Oscar- and Tony- winning performances within the same year of her arrival in America. With unprecedented access to family and friends, never-before-published photographs and meticulous research, biographer Barry Paris gives us a vibrant new portrait of Hepburn. She was Audrey Hepburn, and she had the aura of a beloved real-life princess. She was the world's highest-paid film actress, who never took an acting lesson. She was a ballet dancer, who never performed in a ballet. She was the most beautiful film and fashion statement of her era, with or without the Givenchy designs. The Court of First Instance dealt with an application from the media tycoon for stay of proceedings, meaning to halt the trial. His other charge of collusion with foreign forces has been saved on court files, meaning that – while the prosecution reserve the right to prosecute – they cannot do so without a judge’s permission. He stands accused of two counts of conspiring to collude with foreign forces and one offence linked to allegedly seditious publications. Lai, 75, originally faced a total of four charges under the sweeping security legislation and the sedition law.
