Thank you all for this amazing three years, I know last half a year I have focused more on the youtube channel but I have not forgotten you all, my dear readers, for even a second. Over these three years I have made great friends, discovered amazing authors and my reading taste in general has gone so far from where I was on day one of the blogging. I am however not going far, the youtube channel is staying active and I will be talking about books just like I have been, ain't getting rid of me just yet! Lots of love to you all and a big big thank you!</div>

I had a lot of fun here, and want to thank everyone, both staff and readers, for the opportunity and platform to speak up in. I've learned a lot of things, the greatest being to express my sole opinion on the book, and not just coldly tell all about it. I was a book blogger even before I joined the wonderful women here, but this blog made mine better, and for that I'll forever be grateful.

Wow three years have already gone by! What started out as a fun project, an Internet adventure if you wish, developed into 3 years of work put into the blog. It's been a great time and I am very thankful for all the book lovers I've met. I would also like to apologize for the lack of reading (and reviews) in the past year and a half. Life just got in the way. Careers just take a lot of time and of course also hobbies, social activities, etc. Nonetheless I will continue reading whenever I can and I will post all my reviews on Goodreads and Amazon. See you soon bookworms!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">EXPECTATIONS:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> I have always always always loved fairy tales. Ever since I was a little girl, I remember we had this huge book of old Lithuanian fairy tales, and let me tell you, they are not all birds dress the princess, prince kisses the death away, oh no! They are brutal and scary and the characters are almost never a part of royalty and they experience so many crazy things. But I also love the more beautiful fairy tales of princesses and all that. I also have been very into Celtic folklore ever since school, when my cousin moved to live in Ireland, so picking up a fairy tale of Celtic original felt right.</span></span></div>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">THE WORLD: </b><span style="color: #444444;">The world is filled with goblins and ghouls, and mermaids and witches and talking animals and it actually feels very similar to the Baltic folklore.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>CHARACTERS:</b> </span><span style="color: #444444;">This set of fairy tales contains thousands of characters, but I will mention my favorite - The Sea- Maiden! The story goes that she offered a fisherman all the fishes he wanted in return for his son when he turns twenty, the old man didn't want to give his son and when that son grew up he first went on different adventures, saved and married a princess and only then went to battle the Sea-Maiden. I like this tale the most I think because simply the weren't any damsels. The princess was a bad ass, the Sea-Maiden was bad ass, the prince was bad ass and I truly hope one day this will turn into a fiction novel or a movie. </span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">ROMANCE:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">There is plenty of love in these tales, but love of all kind. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">GOOD:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">They reminded me so much of my own tales I read as a child, and I loved how real and dirty they were.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">BAD:</b><span style="color: #444444;"> I didn't like all of them, but I think I simply lack the knowledge of the Celtic culture to actually realize and understand everything clearly.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">OVERALL:</b><span style="color: #444444;"> I think kids would love such tales, because an adult sure did! It's filled with adventure and courage and also teaches a lot of things. So if you like fairy tales and have a soft spot for the Celtic warmth, then read it, for you never know - maybe you will find a fairy tale that will speak to your heart! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span 14px="" color:="" font-family:="" font-size:="" georgia="" merriweather="" serif="">Deep in the stacks of Oxford's Bodleian Library, young scholar Diana Bishop unwittingly calls up a bewitched alchemical manuscript in the course of her research. Descended from an old and distinguished line of witches, Diana wants nothing to do with sorcery; so after a furtive glance and a few notes, she banishes the book to the stacks. But her discovery sets a fantastical underworld stirring, and a horde of daemons, witches, and vampires soon descends upon the library. Diana has stumbled upon a coveted treasure lost for centuries-and she is the only creature who can break its spell.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">EXPECTATIONS:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">I follow an actress called Teresa Palmer on Instagram because she gives the best tips on how to do yoga, prepare healthy meals or in general good tips to be in inner peace. I liked her blog called Zen Life that she had with another actress Phoebe Tonkin. If you like that stuff so check it out it has really good tips on healthy food, exercise and in general feeling better. So one day I saw that she posted a picture of a new show she was doing balled A Discovery of Witches and I Googled it realizing it was a good. So after a long period of time, I finally got round to it and read it. </span></span></div>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">THE WORLD: </b><span style="color: #444444;">The plot is set in our modern day world. In England actually. Out characters are professors in Oxford University, but we get to travel around Great Britain as well - to Scotland! So nothing much to add about the world except that in this world all different species live together! Human,s vampires, witches and deamons. The supernatural creatures live among mortals and don't use their powers as such. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>CHARACTERS:</b> </span><span style="color: #444444;">I don't even know if it is worth going through them all. The main character is Diana Bishop, a witch, who kind of left that part of her life never really learned how to practice magic, or even wanted to be a part of any coven or among witches. She is a professor and is just living her normal life until she uses magic, to reach for a book and all hell breaks lose. I liked Diana, for most part. She was a true 21st century woman: strong, independent, intelligent. She did have these moment of annoyance, but nothing too major. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">The one time Diana uses her magic, a dashing Vampire - Matthew</span><span style="color: #444444;"> Clairmont sees her and boom - love! He was also a good character, maybe he tried to control Diana a little bit too much for my liking, but she told him to stop it right away. I dunno, the characters in general didn't really bother me, they were cute, annoying, good and bad, nothing too special, nothing too bad.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">ROMANCE:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">The forbidden vampire + witch love. But, I am a sucker for forbidden love, so I liked it.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">GOOD:</b><span style="color: #444444;"> The entire premise I thought was believable. The idea that supernaturals like vampires or witches also go to school, to university, have degrees and jobs and just like a normal life was actually very cool to me. It's not like all vampires need to live in old castles and wear black. I think this aspect was very pleasing to the understand that you never know, maybe your co-worker is also a vampire! </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">BAD: </b><span style="color: #444444;">I have to admit, I liked the romance in the book, it was a little too insta-love even for me, and I love romance books. I wanted a little more of connection building, a little bit more of the turmoil. Also I found it a little bit too descriptive at times, it felt like every little detail in the book was given 10 pages of description and I found it unnecessary sometimes.</span></span></div>

In eighteenth century London, porcelain is the most seductive of commodities; fortunes are made and lost upon it. Kings do battle with knights and knaves for possession of the finest pieces and the secrets of their manufacture.<br />
<br />
For Genevieve Planché, an English-born descendant of Huguenot refugees, porcelain holds far less allure; she wants to be an artist, a painter of international repute, but nobody takes the idea of a female artist seriously in London. If only she could reach Venice.<br />
<br />
When Genevieve meets the charming Sir Gabriel Courtenay, he offers her an opportunity she can’t refuse; if she learns the secrets of porcelain, he will send her to Venice. But in particular, she must learn the secrets of the colour blue…<br />
<br />
The ensuing events take Genevieve deep into England’s emerging industrial heartlands, where not only does she learn about porcelain, but also about the art of industrial espionage.<br />
<br />
With the heart and spirit of her Huguenot ancestors, Genevieve faces her challenges head on, but how much is she willing to suffer in pursuit and protection of the colour blue?</blockquote>

Not long ago I came across a list of female artists, half of whom I never heard about! Some had to sell their work under male pen-names while others were buried by their husbands' names or simply were not even given credit. It infuriated me. Therefore, today I bring a historical fiction novel about a female artist trying to live her dream! It may be "fiction" but many similar stories happened and I think we should be aware of it.</div>

<b>BLURB:</b> Everyone knows this story: an unlikely young hero is chosen by divine providence to save the world from a terrible evil. <br />
<br />
Except Keriya Nameless is crippled, without the ability to wield magic—in fact, she's the only person who doesn't have powers of her own. The god who chose her is a mysterious dragon with a knack for exploiting loopholes in rules. Oh, and that terrible evil the world needs to be saved from? Maybe it’s not quite as evil as everyone says.<br />
<br />
As Keriya ventures into the magical realm of Allentria, she learns things aren't black-and-white, and not everything is what it appears to be. Her quest would test the courage of even the bravest hero, and as the chosen Dragon Speaker, she quickly learns she's at the center of an age-old war . . .<br />
<br />
A war that will decide the fate of everything.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; text-align: justify;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">EXPECTATIONS:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span>I was provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Elana!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">THE WORLD:</b></span> It's a complex fantasy world based on different kingdoms and species. And by species I mean there are humans, dragons, half-dragon gods, demons, etc. In this world, called Allentria, magic exists and humans have access to it, basically everyone can wield magic but there are some limitations as in some people can control water, others earth, others fire... it's like benders in <i>Avatar</i>. Also, there is good magic and bad magic that must coexist in equilibrium and if it's not met then the world is chaos and war erupts. The book places us after one of those terrible wars where "the bad" was stopped but not definitely defeated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>CHARACTERS:</b> </span>The main character is <b>Keriya Nameless</b>, a 14 year old orphan girl who can't wield magic. Which is very rare, she's the only one who can't wield any magic in Aeria (her village) and she's mocked/despised for it. Her best friend is a boy named <b>Fletcher Earengale</b> who's not very powerful either, he can only do very weak magic thus he also had it tough growing up. In the goddess' ceremony Keriya has a vision where the dragon-goddess <b>Shivnath</b> chooses her as the hero, the one who will save them all from <b>Necrovar</b>, the evil magical creature who almost destroyed them in the last war. Keriya is granted magical powers and must find the only dragon left in their world, <b>Thorion Sveltorious</b>. Along the way we encounter other characters such as <b>Maxton Windharte</b>, <b>Roxanne Fleuridae</b>, and <b>Effrax Nameless</b>. There are many characters, be prepared.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">ROMANCE:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span></span>Hints to a future romance perhaps.</div>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">GOOD:</b></span> Even though the world is a complex fantasy one it was surprisingly easy to understand. I didn't have any problems to understand the intrinsic politics, the situation of the world, or the various creatures that exist there. It was well explained + we also have a glossary at the end which always helps! The characters' dynamics were messy but in a good way, they were realistic. They weren't ideal and the characters were very selfish which is realistic for 14 year olds. I liked that very much.<br />
<br />
I was also enchanted by the dragons, the dragon-gods, and their battles. It reminded me of one of my favorite fantasy series, The Inheritance Cycle.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">BAD:</b></span> The characters are very immature and specially Keriya is pretty annoying. She's very entitled and has delusions of grandeur... since she's always been ridiculed she wants to prove herself and be the hero everyone will love. It's an understandable wish. However, she doesn't appreciate those who stuck by her side and who helped her at all. She has a long way and has to mature a notch which I hope to see in the next books. Development is always appreciated.<br />
<br />
Other than that I hope to see more background too and overall learn about the epic war, the land laws, the politics... </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>OVERALL:</b> </span>4 stars. It was definitely an enjoyable read, with a world-building which was complex but surprisingly easy to pick up. A bit introductory with immature main characters but this is the first book of a saga and the main characters are barely 14 year old kids so nothing shocking there. If you're up for an <i>Eragon</i> meets <i>Lord of the Rings</i> YA read this is your book!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>William Blake</b>
(28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English poet and painter.
During his lifetime he wasn't appreciated but now is considered to be
one of the most influential poets of the Romantic age. What I find most
interesting about Blake is that he claimed to have seen visions, in fact
according to sources all his paintings were the representations of his
vision, later on poems as well. I enjoy the depth his poems goes too,
the themes he touches upon, such as: cycle of everything, sexuality,
innocence or experience. I find his works simple to read and understand.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was my first poem that I shared in here, so I decided to come a full circle and share it again since I think it has such a big message! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This poem is about how the hate inside you nourishes the evilness and how that ends up hurting no one else but you. I think it's so powerful, it teaches us that we need to stay humble and be kind to each other in such horrible and crazy times!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be kind to each other and don't let the anger and grudge hold you from growing, spread good vibes and beautiful thoughts into the universe and it will repay you!</div>

<b>BLURB:</b><br />
What happens when one takes a murderous psychopath and forces them to team up with a cowardly tinkerer? Though not a question that Jeremiah ever expected to ponder, he is nevertheless looking forward to seeing what the aforementioned duo will cook up. Success or failure does not matter to Richard, only that the journey be entertaining.
<br />
<br />
Things are far less jovial for the one under Tom's 'care,' however. Stuck in the monster-infested wilderness, lacking the usual backup, hunted by the Empire's top brass and tasked with an incredibly vague and obtuse Quest, Boxxy will face a world of uncertainty and adversity. However, this is nothing new. Pain, suffering and loss are things that have been commonplace since day one, and Boxxy is not only entirely undaunted, but also eager to share those valuable lessons with its new 'companion.' With things both shiny and tasty on the line, the crafty killer has every intention of showing that lich who's boss.
<br />
<br />
Assuming Boxxy manages to find it, of course.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">EXPECTATIONS:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span><span style="text-align: left;">I did not like the last book all that much. I thought it was far too immature. But I still kept my hopes up for this one, because it's still a very fun and unique concept to have a mob be the hero.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">THE WORLD: </b></span>After escaping a hunt, Boxxy is on a mission from the God of Probability, to continue on his quest of mass destruction all while seeking shinies and tasties. This is the world of heroes, after all. You're either a craftsman, artisan, or an adventurer who slays things like Boxxy, a mimic in a shape of a large treasure chest. And Boxxy just laid his eyes on yet another dungeon where he suspects there might be treasures, a dungeon core, lots of tasties, and a possibility to level up. Just one problem. Leveling up will trigger an evolution. Boxxy will no longer be this beautiful, perfect shape of a box...</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>CHARACTERS:</b> </span>Boxxy Morningwood is learning new things, rapidly. Including how to learn new things more efficiently. Which sometimes results in the ever growing company that surrounds him. There's the succubus he calls Tasty, because she tastes very good, but doesn't fill him up any. She's a pervert. She likes being eaten and re-summoned. Then there's Arms, a warrior who is not so much tasty, but very useful. And then there's the kidnapped gnome Fizzles, who got him in all of this trouble in the first place. She's not happy being here, and even more so not happy with Boxxy's means of training, which includes a lot of beatings. But he does keep her safe to the best of his abilities. In fact... It almost seems like Boxxy cares if she lives or dies.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">ROMANCE:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span> No romance other than two demons, a lich that Boxxy dubbed Nasty for her bad bad taste, and Tasty - getting in a jealous argument over Boxxy, for they both seem to have developed feelings for the box that only cares to get food and gold. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">GOOD:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span><span style="text-align: left;">I do enjoy the concept a lot, a mob, one of those simple-minded enemies of which you meet dozens in any video game ever, suddenly becomes self aware, and decides it wants to do things, like get more gold, find more food. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">BAD: </b></span>Absolutely unnecessary rape scene that sent a character into suicidal spiral and dismay. There was absolutely no need for this to happen, she had all the plot set for her development as is. It made the rest of the book tough to read up until her assaulter apologized to the best of his abilities, and did his best to remedy his ways towards her. She forgave him, therefore I didn't quit reading. This was still a very disgusting trope to use.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>OVERALL:</b> </span>I am left with a bitter taste in my mouth, because I am very upset for Fizzles. I do enjoy how she took control of everything afterwards, and that Boxxy did his best to fix what he could, including excluding her from any further activities that could upset her. He's a brainless box with tentacles, and she's bigger than life to be able to forgive such a thing. If we look past this nasty thing, the rest of the book was very clever, full of interesting adventures, big and small. Boxxy evolved, and realized he feels serious agoraphobia for not having the box shaped body anymore. <br />

<b>BLURB:</b><br />
Angel Crawford has buried her loser past and is cruising along in undead high gear--that is, until a murder-by-decapitation sends her on a hazardous detour. As Angel hunts for the killer, she uncovers a scheme that would expose zombies to the public and destroy the life she's built, and she's determined not to rest until she finds out who's behind it.
<br />
<br />
Soon she's neck-deep in lies, redneck intrigue, zombie hunters, and rot-sniffing cadaver dogs. It's up to her to unravel the truth and snuff out the conspiracy before the existence of zombies makes headline news and she's outed as a monster.
<br />
<br />
But Angel hasn't quite escaped the pill-popping ghosts of her past--not with an illicit zombie pharmaceutical at her fingertips. Good thing she's absolutely sure she can handle the drug's unpredictable side effects and still take down the bad guys...or maybe she's only one bad choice away from being dead meat--for real this time.
<br />
<br />
Angel knows a thing or two about kicking ass, but now the ass she needs to kick might be her own.</blockquote>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">EXPECTATIONS:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span><span style="text-align: left;">The last book was very action driven, with a lot of messy secrets left and right, and zombies going rogue due to their parasite going crazy. I expected a continuation on that, more lab action, research on what reanimates people, etc. </span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">THE WORLD: </b></span>I still can't recall where exactly is this place located. It's 2 hour drive from New Orleans, that's what I do remember. Anyway, in this wonderful little town there's a tribe of zombies living, and Angel is a part of it. Back in the day people filmed a zombie movie here, and some bad people used real live zombies for it, without anyone the wiser. Today it all seems to be attempting to bite them all in the posterior. This is the world of Zombie Exodus, Internet edition. For the movie filmed was indeed a zombie documentary, and some organizations are more than ready to expose the truth and create yet another hunt for zombies, forcing all of these people out.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>CHARACTERS:</b> </span>Angel was a junkie before she got turned into a zombie. It changed her life for the better, it seemed, because all addictions she ever had - had to go, for nothing really worked on her, and she would've needed brains to fix the damage drugs induced too. And brains aren't all that easy or safe to obtain without creating a mess. But as the lab tries to do their best to help her Zombie Baby, the man she was forced to turn or let him die, a brand new pharma just for zombies gets created, and it has oh such nice effects. The only con is: will Angel stoop so low as to skim the meds from her Zombie Baby, a man who was nothing but kind to her ever since? There was very little focus on any other characters. In fact, at times it seemed absolutely illogical, for some people not only went their own ways and made their own lives after the last book, some even decided they hate Angel and think she's a burden. For no reason. She pulls her weight well, and then some. The only spotlight shone on others were Angel's father, who is becoming the father of the year ever since he stopped drinking. And Nick the Prick, her co-worker, who is undergoing something very, very stressful and straining, thus accidentally allowing the mask slip.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">ROMANCE:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span> Nick the Prick. After he helped Angel study for her exams he at least wasn't all that nasty to her anymore. He even took in her father after some disasters, without her even asking really. And in this book it escalates a step more, for the pressure he received from his father has cracked his immaculate angry-bitter-distant man fasade, and Angel was not only there to witness it, but to console and support him too. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">GOOD:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span><span style="text-align: left;">I do like the development in romance here. And the action was pretty great, even scary at points, for some zombies reanimated when they seemingly weren't supposed to anymore. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">BAD: </b></span>I don't understand, so everyone involved in the previous mission just decided Angel is no longer part of the Tribe? They all decided, after she saved the day, that she sucks and is not worth being friends with? Didn't make much sense. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>OVERALL:</b> </span>As paranormal action romance detectives go, this one was above average. I did enjoy it enough, even if a lot of things made no human-feelings sense.<br />

Dark secrets and forbidden love threaten the very survival of the Shadowhunters in Cassandra Clare’s <i>Queen of Air and Darkness</i>, the final novel in the #1 <i>New York Times</i> and <i>USA TODAY</i> bestselling The Dark Artifices trilogy. <i>Queen of Air and Darkness</i> is a Shadowhunters novel.<br />
<br />
<b>What if damnation is the price of true love?</b><br />
<br />
Innocent blood has been spilled on the steps of the Council Hall, the sacred stronghold of the Shadowhunters. In the wake of the tragic death of Livia Blackthorn, the Clave teeters on the brink of civil war. One fragment of the Blackthorn family flees to Los Angeles, seeking to discover the source of the blight that is destroying the race of warlocks. Meanwhile, Julian and Emma take desperate measures to put their forbidden love aside and undertake a perilous mission to Faerie to retrieve the Black Volume of the Dead. What they find in the Courts is a secret that may tear the Shadow World asunder and open a dark path into a future they could never have imagined. Caught in a race against time, Emma and Julian must save the world of Shadowhunters before the deadly power of the <i>parabatai</i> curse destroys them and everyone they love.</blockquote>

I always get lost with all the Shadowhunters series there are xD so... this is the last book of The Dark Artifices which follows Emma Carstairs and Julian Blackthorn and they story takes place a few years after the first Shadowhunters series. Phew, Cassandra puts out so many books every year! I feel like we had at least 3 books from 3 different series featured in WoW.</div>

<b>BLURB:</b><br />
The prequel to Dracula, inspired by notes and texts left behind by the author of the classic novel, Dracul is a riveting novel of gothic suspense that reveals not only Dracula's true origins but Bram Stoker's -- and the tale of the enigmatic woman who connects them.
<br />
<br />
It is 1868, and a twenty-one-year-old Bram Stoker waits in a desolate tower to face an indescribable evil. Armed only with crucifixes, holy water, and a rifle, he prays to survive a single night, the longest of his life. Desperate to record what he has witnessed, Bram scribbles down the events that led him here...
<br />
<br />
A sickly child, Bram spent his early days bedridden in his parents' Dublin home, tended to by his caretaker, a young woman named Ellen Crone. When a string of strange deaths occur in a nearby town, Bram and his sister Matilda detect a pattern of bizarre behavior by Ellen -- a mystery that deepens chillingly until Ellen vanishes suddenly from their lives. Years later, Matilda returns from studying in Paris to tell Bram the news that she has seen Ellen -- and that the nightmare they've thought long ended is only beginning. </blockquote>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">EXPECTATIONS:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span><span style="text-align: left;">I was aware that this is a prequel to Dracula, so in a sense I kind of expected it to be about Dracula before Harker came to his castle. Though I have made peace that Stokers will never write historical fiction, and maybe that's for the best.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">THE WORLD: </b></span>North side of Ireland. Bram Stoker is born to a family of well off people, with their beliefs and superstitions. He's one of seven children, not the youngest, but definitely most ill. Up until age seven he was bed ridden, alive and clinging to it thanks to his sister, full of wonderful stories, and his nanny, woman who seemed to never age, and always be there when he was the most sick, just to disappear for days after. One faithful night he was indeed as good as dead when she saved him, and his world changed forever. For the bedridden boy at last got up, feeling as strong as any other child. Yet everyone denied nanny's involvement and claimed it was no more than a fever dream Bram had. All but his sister, with whom he started his investigation. Back then it yielded no results, other than a passion and doubt in both their hearts. Doubt so strong that once events started repeating themselves elsewhere a few decades later, they both knew they must find the nanny, for she will surely have the answers: why are there madmen raving about blood being life? how come dead people were spotted alive and well?</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>CHARACTERS:</b> </span>Bram Stoker and his sister Matilda Stoker are the main characters here. Bram is very much affected by vampires, having been fed Ellen Crone's blood during all childhood, and Matilda is simply very keen to learn the truth. Ellen Crone herself wasn't always called by that name. She is an equal to this old creature called Dracul, who is not who one might think he is, even if he indeed is the same man from Bram Stoker's "Dracula".<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">ROMANCE:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span> Dracul loves this woman who is portrayed as his equal, but how's that I'm absolutely not sure. The whole romance is one-sided, and there's a lot of "you'll learn to love me".</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">GOOD:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span><span style="text-align: left;">Author's words were the most interesting here. What he said at the end of the book, the little true dry-facts biography of Stoker.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">BAD: </b></span>It read a lot like Kostova's "Historian" due to the whole need to travel across the world in chase of a vampire. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>OVERALL:</b> </span>This is a book for classic lovers who'd like a new piece. This might also be a book for very firm fans of Dracula and Stoker's works. It isn't bad. But it's a bit dry, and there's a lot of really annoying points in it.<br />

<b><u>Let's get to know Naomi Shihab Nye:</u></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Naomi Shihab Nye</b> (born March 12, 1952) is a poet, songwriter, and novelist. Although she calls herself a "wandering poet", she refers to San Antonio as her home. She says a visit to her grandmother in the West Bank village of Sinjil was a life-changing experience. Nye’s first two chapter books, <i>Tattooed Feet</i> (1977) and <i>Eye-to-Eye</i> (1978), are written in free verse and possess themes of questing. Nye’s first full-length collection, <i>Different Ways to Pray</i>
(1980), explores the differences between and shared experiences of
cultures from California to Texas and from South America to Mexico. <i>Hugging the Jukebox</i>
(1982), a full-length collection that won the <i>Voertman Poetry Prize</i>,
focuses on the connections between diverse peoples and on the
perspectives of those in other lands. <i>Yellow Glove</i> (1986) presents poems with more tragic and sorrowful themes. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all need to be kind. I try very hard to remind myself every day how important is show kindness to everyone and just to let things go.<br />
<br />
I am not the person who let's things go easily but I try very hard, so accept everything and not let myself put anyone down. I think it's a lesson I and all of us need to remember and follow every day.<br />

<b>BLURB:</b> The 50 contestants in the Miss Teen Dream pageant thought this was going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras.<br />
<br />
But sadly, their airplane had another idea, crashing on a desert island and leaving the survivors stranded with little food, little water, and practically no eyeliner. <br />

What’s a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program - or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan - or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up?<br />

Welcome to the heart of non-exfoliated darkness. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7; text-align: justify;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">EXPECTATIONS:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span>I didn't really have expectations. This book was chosen as a group read on Goodreads last year and I didn't have time so I didn't participate that month but now I decided to give it a chance. I tried reading another book from the same author, The Diviners, and I ended up DNFing it because it was boring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">THE WORLD:</b></span> Our same world. The book takes place on an island in the middle of nowhere where all 13 beauty contestants get stranded.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>CHARACTERS:</b> </span>There are 13 teen beauty contestants and I can't be bothered to introduce them all. They're all from different places and overall the message of the book and the characters was about self-love and acceptance. Nice.</div>
</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">ROMANCE:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span></span>Not really.</div>
<span style="color: #674ea7;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">GOOD:</b></span> For what I could see I liked how the girls even though they were "empty" beauty contestants proved everyone wrong. They all fight against stereotypes each girl in her own way. I thought it was a really nice message and it is all done through humor.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">BAD:</b></span> However, the rest of the book was meh... I couldn't identify myself with any of the characters even though there are so many and they're all different but I just couldn't find ONE girl who came even close to my mind/thoughts. Next, the writing... I already had problems with it while reading <i>The Diviners</i>, I don't know what it is but I just can't stand it! I get extremely bored. I'm sad. I wanted to like it but if it's not for me then it is what it is. Oh, and the last thing was the plot. I also couldn't find anything attention worthy on the plot itself. </div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>OVERALL:</b> </span>It wasn't my cup of tea. There's something about the writing style that I don't like and the plot didn't stand out to me in any way. I was easily bored so I had to DNF it. </div>
</div>
<br />
<br /></div>

<b>BLURB:</b><br />
Sir Philip Rookwood is the disgrace of the county. He’s a rake and an atheist, and the rumours about his hellfire club, the Murder, can only be spoken in whispers. (Orgies. It’s orgies.)
<br />
<br />
Guy Frisby and his sister Amanda live in rural seclusion after a family scandal. But when Amanda breaks her leg in a riding accident, she’s forced to recuperate at Rookwood Hall, where Sir Philip is hosting the Murder.
<br />
<br />
Guy rushes to protect her, but the Murder aren’t what he expects. They’re educated, fascinating people, and the notorious Sir Philip turns out to be charming, kind—and dangerously attractive.
<br />
<br />
In this private space where anything goes, the longings Guy has stifled all his life are impossible to resist...and so is Philip. But all too soon the rural rumour mill threatens both Guy and Amanda. The innocent country gentleman has lost his heart to the bastard baronet—but does he dare lose his reputation too?</blockquote>

<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">EXPECTATIONS:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span><span style="text-align: left;">One thing I never really did expect, I can tell you: KJC wrote a light-hearted, fluffy romance novel! I did expect good plot, diverse characters, and a good time reading though. Was not disappointed either.</span><br />
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">THE WORLD: </b></span>Yarlcote, country side, where Guy and Amanda Frisbys, after all the damned scandals that shook the London society of good Ladies and Gentlemen, are left to be forgotten, fed and alive by the mercy of their not so loving, but very respectable aunt. They live in their old rotting house, toiling away for nothing better to do. Amanda, at least, finds entertainment from the Rookwood estate nearby, Rookwoods having been the biggest cause for scandals that destroyed their family. The house with the new heir now hosts the Murder club, club of men who do hell knows what with hell knows whom. And on whom Amanda based her gothic novel about a Hellfire club she wrote.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>CHARACTERS:</b> </span>Guy is a very loving brother, long since used to the idea that he'll forever care and shield Amanda from the evil of the world. Her happiness is his happiness. And while he's shocked she wrote a book, he is also happy for her. Amanda, in the meantime, is a free thinking, lovely and kind young woman, expelled from the good society due to lack of reputation, be it her own doing, or their mother. And then there's the Murder club, who soon turn their very world upside down, for during one of her rides out, Amanda breaks her leg, and Murder member, a very good doctor, saves her life. Due to not being able to move, her leg being a mortal danger still, she and Guy reside in the Rookwood estate for weeks to come, slowly but surely learning to enjoy the company of the strange people here, realizing they're not so bad, and very accepting too. Even Philip Rookwood, whose brother, back in the day, ran away with their mother.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">ROMANCE:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span> Guy has denied himself, and never even admitted the possibility of love or loving. But the open-mindedness of Philip, and his unexpectedly gentle pursuit, with very clear end-game of "be aware, I'm going to leave for London" felt like an affair he could muster. Guy, of course, expected it only be that, a romance to remember, to make it easier to grow old and rot in this end of the world, but soon it grew into something great, and honestly, even I loved reading this. But keep in mind, at least three of the presented characters are polyamorous, meaning they're in a relationship together, not just in couples.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">GOOD:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span></span><span style="text-align: left;">I really enjoy the "big group of friends who are like family, love each other, have each others' backs" kind of trope. And the characters were so well written, unique in their own sense, and as diverse as KJC likes them. For instance, there's a transgender character to whom no one skips a beat when it comes to pronouns. Then there's a former slave, a black man, a somewhat unusual sight in that time in England. Guy's the virginal village boy who secretly reads unedited Greek novels, and Philip is the kind-hearted villain. Not to mention Amanda, who is as joyous as a person can be. The humor and banter is everything here, for there's not much of a setting.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">BAD: </b></span><span style="text-align: left;">It's a stand-alone. But I want more!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>OVERALL:</b> </span>KJC has not yet found a way to disappoint me. I loved this book to bits, and I think I can say this is my favorite right after Magpie Lord trilogy. Simple plot allowed for an easy time with the book, but at the same time hooked hard enough to keep me reading all the way to dawn. Band Sinister has made me very happy.<br />

<b>The highly anticipated sequel to New York Times bestseller, <i>Everless</i>! </b><br />
<br />
Jules Ember was raised hearing legends of the ancient magic of the wicked Alchemist and the good Sorceress. But she has just learned the truth: not only are the stories true, but she herself is the Alchemist, and Caro—a woman who single-handedly murdered the Queen and Jules’s first love, Roan, in cold blood—is the Sorceress.<br />
<br />
The whole kingdom believes that Jules is responsible for the murders, and a hefty bounty has been placed on her head. And Caro is intent on destroying Jules, who stole her heart twelve lifetimes ago. Jules must delve into the stories that she now recognizes are accounts of her own past. For it is only by piecing together the mysteries of her lives that Jules will be able to save the person who has captured her own heart in this one.</blockquote>

Just in time for Christmas we have the sequel to <i>Everless</i>! Reading the blurb... things sounds like they get complicated no? I do love a good book about how we live different lifetimes though because it's always a nice thought to have. I wonder if I was ever an animal... hmm nevermind I would have probably been a rock. Living the best life out there being a rock forgotten somewhere on a cliff.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">EXPECTATIONS:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">I have been getting into reading plays more and more lately. I picked up to read this play, because one of my colleagues in the theater suggested to do a production of this with the very talented women in our company. Going into this play I knew nothing about it and with in first 15 pages I was hooked! </span></span></div>
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">THE WORLD: </b><span style="color: #444444;">The play takes place I assume around 1930 in a village in Andalusia. The play opens and sets the mood very quickly. We find our characters at a funeral. The father and the man of the house has died, so his wife and daughters are in mourning. The entire play is actually the story of how the mother Bernarda locks the entire house for seven years of mourning and does not allow anything to happen. According to her they all must stay inside, wear black and mourn the loss of the husband and father. The world to me felt - like I was being surfaced honestly. It felt like, just as the characters, I was trapped in that house with walls coming closer on me!</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b>CHARACTERS:</b> </span><span style="color: #444444;">The main character of the play is the matriarch of the family Bernarda Alba. I absolutely ad roved this woman! She was so cruel, so cold hearted that I was constantly amazed of the levels of cruelty she could go on! Of course she was a horrible person, cruel beyond any comprehensiveness - she locked up her daughters from any part of the outside world, she locked up her mother, she showed no emotion when her husband died she just remained this statue like version of a woman, who had to control everything in her life and everything had to be according to her rules. But - to play such a character on stage would truly be the a challenge. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">After Bernarda we have her five daughter - Angustias, the eldest, Magdalena, Amelia, Martirio and Adela. Each daughter is very different and unique in her own way and the inability to cope with their mother bkreads them down very individually as well. I would say I was rather objective towards the daughters, there wasn't any particular one that I felt connected too, maybe Amelia or Martitio, for they were the mellow ones, that didn't cause such drama. Adela - was the embodiment of the word rebel in the house, while the rest sort of accepted their fate as never leaving the house again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444;">We also have the grandmother Maria Josefa, a mad old woman who is constantly locked and a servant La Poncia. In the entire play we have only one male character Pepe, Angustias fiance, but he never actually appears in the play, he is merely talked about.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">ROMANCE:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">Angustias is engaged to Pepe, but Adela is in love with him. I kind of got the idea that All the sisters wanted Pepe, since he was the only man they kind of knew was real. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #674ea7;"><b style="color: #674ea7;">GOOD:</b><span style="color: #666666;"> </span><span style="color: #444444;">It was a play about repression, about depression about the endless battle of women trying to free themselves. To me Bernarda represented the oppression of women. The entire play was so focused and filled with tension.</span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b><u>Let's get to know David Berman:</u></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>David Berman</b> (born January 4, 1967) is an American poet, cartoonist, and singer-songwriter best known for his work with indie-rock band the <i>Silver Jews</i>. In early 2003, The Houston, Tx.-based theater group <i>Infernal Bridegroom Productions</i> staged a theatrical interpretation of <i>Actual Air</i>, which featured selected poems from Berman's book, as well as three live covers of Silver Jews songs. In 2010, David Berman spoke at the <i>OpenCity
Summer Writer's Conference</i>. In his talk he discussed his difficulties
with a book he had been attempting to write about his father. He also
revealed that HBO had expressed interest in turning the book into a
one-hour series. A screenwriter was hired, a pilot scripted. HBO wanted
to begin production but Berman pulled the plug saying he did not want to
glamorize his father. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>Walking
through a field with my little brother Seth<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>I pointed to
a place where kids had made angels in the snow.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>For some
reason, I told him that a troop of angels<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>had been
shot and dissolved when they hit the ground.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>He asked who
had shot them and I said a farmer.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>Then we were
on the roof of the lake.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>The ice
looked like a photograph of water.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>Why he
asked. Why did he shoot them.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>I didn't
know where I was going with this.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>They were on
his property, I said.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>When it's
snowing, the outdoors seem like a room.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>Today I
traded hellos with my neighbor.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>Our voices
hung close in the new acoustics.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>A room with
the walls blasted to shreds and falling.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>We returned
to our shoveling, working side by side in silence.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<i>But why were
they on his property, he asked.<o:p></o:p></i></div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><i>Thoughts:</i></b></u></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is one of the modern poetry that I like. I don't know why it always comes up whenever I have to explain something to my niece or nephews.<br />
<br />
I think I like to much is just that: it shows the thin line there is between fiction and reality. The way the older brother tells the fictional stories to his youngster, the sinister aspect of how dark you can go when you have to tell or explain something new to a mind that is still an empty canvas.<br />
<br />
Simple, yet so deep. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Stay Cozy and see you next Monday!</i><br />
