5/12/2023 0 Comments Dark Triumph by Robin LaFeversLegit there is nary a second book in a series slump to be seen - which IDK about you all but seems like 2013 is the year of book 2 and thank god I haven’t read very many that don’t live up to book 1. Friends, right now I am experiencing all of the feels because I clicked to the last page of Dark Triumph and all is as it should be with an utterly perfect ending where all comes together. I realize I might take some heat from other bloggers for posting my review of Dark Triumph by Robin LaFevers so early, but you guys, I have that condition where when I love a book SO hard, I cannot for the life of me shut up about it, regardless of how early I’ve read the book. Super vague spoilers for Grave Mercy, so read at your own risk but note this review is not riddled with all the big reveals and such. Cubas decides to tell his story starting from the end (the passage of his death, caused by pneumonia), then taking "the greatest leap in this story", proceeding to tell the story of his life since his childhood. Brás Cubas dedicates his book: "To the worm who first gnawed on the cold flesh of my corpse, I dedicate with fond remembrance these Posthumous Memoirs" (Portuguese: Ao verme que primeiro roeu as frias carnes do meu cadáver dedico com saudosa lembrança estas Memórias Póstumas), which indicates that not a single person he met through his life deserved the book. The fact of being already deceased allows Brás Cubas to sharply criticize the Brazilian society and reflect on his own disillusionment, with no sign of remorse or fear of retaliation. The novel is narrated by the dead protagonist Brás Cubas, who tells his own life story from beyond the grave, noting his mistakes and failed romances. It is considered the first novel of the realist movement in Brazil. Instead of the clear and logical construction of a normal nineteenth-century realist novel, the novel makes use of surreal devices of metaphor and playful narrative construction. Published in 1881, the novel has a unique style of short, erratic chapters shifting in tone and style. The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas ( Portuguese: Memorias Posthumas de Braz Cubas, modern spelling Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas), also translated as Epitaph of a Small Winner, is a novel by the Brazilian writer Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis (born in Rio de Janeiro City, then Imperial Capital of Brazil). 5/12/2023 0 Comments Born to run album coverThe amusement park rises bold and stark, kids are huddled on the beach in a mist The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors and the boys try to look so hard I wanna know if love is wild, baby, I wanna know if love is realīeyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard 'Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider but I gotta know how it feels Whoah, will you walk with me out on the wire Together we could break this trap, we'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims and strap your hands 'cross my engines Wendy, let me in, I wanna be your friend, I wanna guard your dreams and visions 'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap, we gotta get out while we're young Whoah baby, this town rips the bones from your back Sprung from cages on Highway 9, chrome-wheeled, fuel-injected, and stepping out over the line In the day we sweat it out on the streets of a runaway American dreamĪt night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines 5/12/2023 0 Comments The Long Game by Rachel ReidIt’s time for them to decide what’s most important-hockey or love.

To solve the problem for himself and his peers, the Los Angeles-based Canadian, through his company Songistry, has launched a service called MDIIO. “There is very little communication between co-writers after the fact, and If I were to draw a circle around their relationships - their managers, their publishers - that grew very frustrating for me, not being able to organize that data,” says Gray. Gray had a personal problem he needed to solve: How could he upload and quickly search his songs in a database, preferably from his smartphone, in order to pitch a song for a placement? And how would he know if his co-writers have pitched it, and to whom? Still, he’d grown “completely dismayed” with how poorly organized songwriters are – “including myself,” he readily admits. He’s worked with John Legend, Luis Fonsi, Mariah Carey and Joss Stone, and had song placements in movies like Sisters, The Lego Ninjago Movie, Oz The Great and Powerful, and in TV shows like Hawaii Five-0 and Hannah Montana. Justin Gray has had a 25-year career as a professional songwriter, amassing a personal catalogue of some 1,500 songs. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Frenzy by Rex MillerGucci’s Creative Director Alessandro Michele along with tennis icon Serena Williams are co-chairing the event. The entire event will be sponsored by Gucci. The theme, “Camp: Notes on Fashion” was inspired by Susan Sontag’s 1964 essay that defines camp as “love of the unnatural: of artifice and exaggeration.” This year –Anna Wintour has turned the gala over to co-hosts Lady Gaga and Harry Styles. The theme for the 71st annual Met Gala was reportedly causing a bit of a frenzy for celebs before they even showed up on the red carpet. Nearly everyone showed up and showed the fu*k out!

The most fabulous night in fashion has arrived, and our favorite celebrities did not disappoint with their Met Gala 2019 fashion looks. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Brotherhood book star warsHowever, we will say that this moment, as vital as it is, is only the beginning of how Brotherhood reframes the duo's relationship. We don't want to give away too much more of what transpires in Star Wars: Brotherhood because anyone who has appreciated Anakin and Obi-Wan's ill-fated partnership owes it to themselves to give this book a read. But how did the Anakin Skywalker of Attack of the Clones, who simmered with rage and seemed to view Obi-Wan more as a rival than a brother, become Anakin Skywalker, hero of The Clone Wars? In The Clone Wars, Anakin proved wise enough to teach a Padawan and brave, capable, loyal, and confident in ways that justify Obi-Wan calling him "a cunning warrior" and " a good friend" in A New Hope and his brother in Revenge of the Sith. The Clone Wars offered another side of Anakin Skywalker, presenting him as a fully-formed Jedi Knight. By the time fans see him again in Revenge of the Sith, he's already spent his entire adult life fighting a war and being groomed by Palpatine to become his new Sith apprentice, leaving Anakin teetering on the edge of darkness. In the movies, Anakin goes from being a child in The Phantom Menace to an impetuous teen Padawan in Attack of the Clones. Many fans credit Star Wars: The Clone Wars with fleshing out Anakin Skywalker and turning him into a much more likable and sympathetic character than George Lucas' prequel trilogy found the time to do. Her major Broadway credits include Hide and Seek (1980), Hurlyburly (1984), The House of Blue Leaves (1986), Nick & Nora (1991), and Boeing Boeing (2008).
