![]() I hope the wait for book #2 isn’t too long! I trust these two writers though and I know they continue this unique, wild ride and take us somewhere we couldn’t dream. ![]() The writing was beautiful… I don’t know how to describe it – The two POV’s blended flawlessly yet were distinctive enough to tell the two characters apart. I can’t wait to see where Tarryn and Colleen take us. I’m in a haze and I don’t think I’ll get out of it until I get my hands on book two. Hate that I love a good clffie!Įla: WTF? Had to create a spoiler thread on your page Maryse…. ![]() YES!!!!! What does this mean? My mind was racing with possibilities but reading it, living it with them took me so much further than I expected. Short and to the point but packs a powerful punch:īest friends since they could walk. □īut yesssssss… I couldn’t help but peek at that blurb. I’ll happily go in blind, don’t even need a blurb jolt or anything, ’cause I just know… it’s gonna be awesome. ![]() No recommendations needed, and I don’t even need to know what it’s about. Well, obviously when two of my absolute favorite authors collaborate on a book, you KNOW I’m going to read it.

![]() It shuts itself whenever “lonely foxes and whining cats” get too close. This house even seems to take its responsibility to battle nature a bit too far. The house protects its residents from the forces of nature: its walls close out harsh weather, its kitchen machines spare humans from hunting and foraging in the wilderness, and the cleaning mice ward off the chaos of the outdoors, cleaning up the mud, dust, and hair that accumulate in a natural environment. By having the house ultimately succumb to a fire and be destroyed by the natural world, Bradbury suggests that nature is more powerful than whatever man can create.īradbury physically establishes the animosity between the house-a symbol of technology-and the natural world. To do so, however, it relies a great deal on the natural world, both for inspiration (many of its automated functions, such as the robot mice, are based on animals) and for the raw materials to keep running. The automated house of Bradbury’s story presents itself as the perfect environment for human beings-a space that readily caters to nearly every imaginable need. ![]() ![]() Similarly, books are not available to purchase directly from. ![]() One important thing to note is that books are generally not available to download directly from Bookshelves, and nowhere on our website do we represent they are.

Paper falls into decay centuries faster than near-indestructible parchment, a skin stripped of its fleshy corruptibility and able to withstand most of the vagaries of time. An obvious cost-cutting decision, maybe – and one that reflects a modern understanding of the law as mutable, editable and of its time. Until 2017, the United Kingdom’s laws were still painstakingly recorded on it, until MPs voted to save £80,000 a year by switching to paper. But parchment is not just a historic curio. Calf or lamb’s hide washed and scraped into smooth parchment, found in every monastery and royal court, was the foundation on which medieval libraries were built. ![]() ![]() In the Middle Ages, skin stretched beyond the body. ![]() ![]() It was completely horrific to watch Marjorie's decent into deeper and deeper madness, that has all the earmarks of schizophrenia.

The basic story was about your typical American family, the Barrets, Mom, Dad and 2 kids, older daughter Marjorie, and younger daughter Merry. ![]() This book ended up being so much less and more than I expected. I only knew it was a horror novel and what was on the book jacket. I went into this novel with almost no information. ![]() A Head Full of Ghosts was the 2015 Stoker Award Winner.
