5/27/2023 0 Comments Grounded by megan morrisonNot only does Rapunzel not know common vocabulary, she also doesn’t understand sarcasm or idioms or any other aspect of language that is obtained through observation-which she wouldn’t know because she hasn’t had the chance to observe people, and Witch would be careful. Grounded captures the innocence and naivety of Rapunzel in a way I’ve never seen and always wished a Rapunzel tale would do ( Tangled almost gets it, but not quite). There she finds a world filled with even more peril than Witch promised…and more magic, wonder, and excitement than she ever dreamed. Because Rapunzel learns then that Witch is in terrible danger-and to keep her safe, she must leave her tower and journey with Jack on a quest far across Tyme. But when a thief named Jack climbs into her tower, that happy life breaks open forever. Beautiful, beloved, and innocent, Rapunzel can’t imagine a happier life. She knows only her enchanted tower, which obeys her every command, and her wonderful Witch, who guards her against evil princes far below. She hasn’t outwitted a Stalking beast, or made a friend, or adopted a very opinionated frog. Rapunzel has never visited a fairy court, or won a jacks tournament, or slept under the stars. Grounded: The Adventures of Rapunzel is written by Megan Morrison. 5/27/2023 0 Comments La divina commedia dante alighieriPDM Creative Commons Public Domain Mark 1.0 false false This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

TyndallKidnapped by her arch-enemy Captain Kent Carlton, Charlisse must not only face abandonment by her husband, but she must find a way of escape for both her and Lady Ashton. Then maybe he can pull his life back from the ashes. When he finally wakes from his rum-induced pity party, Merrick must find a way to escape the vile man’s clutches with his life and go in search of his mutinous crew who stole his ship. Not only has she succeeded in writing a sequel that is even better (if possible) than the first in the series (a rarity in my experience) this time she threw a lady pirate into the mix!

Brief Summary of Book: Blood Like Magic (Blood Like Magic, #1) by Liselle Sambury This was all that I could recall being formally taught. Evidence indicates that humans originated in Africa. There was Nelson Mandela’s fight against apartheid in South Africa. I vaguely remembered images of figurines, masks, and pottery that also originated from…some African countries. Technically, Carthage was a part of Northern Africa too. When I thought about it more, I realized that in high school and probably prior I had learned about American History, Western European History, the dynasties of China and Egypt, but what about where my people were likely from? What did I know or was taught? The story of Hannibal of Carthage always stuck with me since high school, though his story was told probably because of its relation to European history. They are familiar with American history, right? My best guess would be from somewhere(s) in west and/or maybe central Africa. “No, like where is your family from? What country did your, say, grandfather or great-grandfather or whatever come from?” Occasionally, I’ve been asked by my colleagues some form of the question, “Where are you from?” I may hear about anything from the cultural revolution, to ancient Chinese dynasties, to Genghis Kan. Sometimes the conversation will somehow, turn into a history lesson about China. I am of what you would call, “recent African ancestry.” I also work with many foreign-born Chinese people. Being a typical Regency romance hero, he's a domineering rogue who has scared off all his nurses - except for one. The story begins when the Earl of Westfield is shot by his unhinged ex-mistress.
