Smith, such as The Vampire Diaries, The Secret Circle Series, The Forbidden Games Series, and myriad others. She was inspired to become a writer after reading the works of L.J. Armentrout was born on June 11 in West Virginia. Her current publishers include Spencer Hill Press, Entangled Publishing, Harlequin Teen, Disney/Hyperion, and HarperCollins. She is considered a "hybrid" author, having successfully self-published while maintaining active contracts with small independent presses, and traditional publishers. Several of her works have made The New York Times Best Seller list. ![]() Lynn, is an American writer of contemporary romance, new adult and fantasy. ![]() Jennifer Lynn Armentrout (born June 11, 1980), also known by the pseudonym J. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And it made him question everything he knew about himself, and about the way men and women live with and without each other. It sent him into extremes of behavior that exposed just how conflicted his life had become. ![]() It forced him deep into his past, to confront not only the moral dimensions of his pickup lifestyle, but also a wrenching mystery in his childhood that shaped the man that he became. The choice was not only difficult, it was wrenching. That is, until he met the woman who forced him to choose between herself and the parade. ![]() But they also conditioned him to view the world as a kind of constant parade of women, sex, and opportunity-with intimacy and long-term commitment taking a back seat. The book jump-started the international “seduction community,” and made Strauss a household name-revered or notorious-among single men and women alike.īut the experience of writing The Game also transformed Strauss into a man who could have what every man wants: the ability to date or have casual sex with almost every woman he met. Neil Strauss became famous to millions around the world as the author of The Game, a funny and slyly instructive account of how he transformed himself from a scrawny, insecure nerd into the ultra-confident, ultra-successful “pickup artist” known as Style. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() the drama unfold with camera close to the faces of the actors to emphasis the tragedy going on, no images from the beauty of the ocean and a blue scotish sky don't expect to see that. all did a good work, and the director set the grim tone right from the beginning. acting is excellent from the three main actors, as well as from the supporting characters. About the movie itself, i'd say its pretty good. Will we ever know what happened to those 3 scotish men, thomas, donald and james? sadly, most probably not, which is so sad, especially because they had wives and children. In the real diary entry logged by the real keepers, they write about a terrible weather "as the one they have never seen in 20 years at sea." That particular entry in the book is extraordinary, having in consideration that weather reports at the time indicated that weather was fine and calmed and the first rain can in on december 17, 1900. Was it a terrible natural accident, such as the three men falling down a cliff or down inside a cave? Or something more sinister as the men kill each other? Your guess is as good as mine. Theories abound about what really happened, from alien abduction to a giant wave, and anything in between. The truth is that nobody knows for sure what was the fate of the real three men at the Flannan Isle, and anybody's guess is as good. The movie is a tragedy, an imaginary tale of what could have happened to the real "keepers" who indeed vanished back in mid december of 1900, and never heard of again. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now, building on that momentum, the author will publish a prequel, The First to Die at the End, on Oct. In 2020, when the world was on lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, bookworms on the platform helped catapult Silvera’s novel to the top of the New York Times best-seller list. ![]() The novel was published in 2017, but it saw an unexpected surge in sales three years later thanks to BookTok, the subsection of TikTok that has proven powerful when it comes to launching best sellers. The story follows their romantic adventures together as they try to make the most of their last day. Silvera’s heartbreaking YA novel follows teens Mateo and Rufus, who were both just notified by Death-Cast-a service that alerts subscribers when they are going to die within 24 hours-that their time has come. “None of us is going to be the exception to death.” “People thought I was going to do a fake-out,” the author says. Adam Silvera put it right there in the title: They Both Die at the End. ![]() ![]() ![]() This book is not for everyone in the sense that the mood is dark and some may not like it. Unlike more recent depictions, these vampires have no remorse. Main characters have sex, barely described.The female characters are not strong, independent, or otherwise positive characters. There is an attempted rape of the main character and a brutal rape of another girl. ![]() It is much more a horror story than a romance with graphic violence, including descriptions of the vampire murders of people and animals such as a pet dog. ![]() The book is very dated and pretty sexist. In fact the TV show and Twilight actually seem more similar. It bears no resemblance to the vampire sensation Twilight (other than that a vampire poses as a new high school student and a local girl falls for him). Parents need to know that this book, first published in 1991, has been loosely made into a TV show. One scene of students drunk at a school dance one drunken boy attempts to rape the main character and a drunk girl is raped by someone else.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?

The fictional memoir of the fifteenth-century French heroine by the author of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. Mark Twain considered this his lifes work, but few have ever heard of it. This was a brilliant decision and one that impacts the entire tone of the book and allows for instructive character creation. One splendid element of this book is that it is written from the fictional point of view of Joan’s childhood friend and later personal secretary. ![]() We will, however, tell you some of the magic Twain weaves into his version of her story. We don't want to tell much about the book because the delight was in knowing very little when we picked it up. We can't recommend this book more highly. Mark Twain considered this his life's work, but few have ever heard of it. ![]() ![]() When murder intervenes among the festivities, Tj is hard pressed to clear her friend from being at the top of the suspect list.
