![]() ![]() Having Nita burn down the Black Market was a monumental feat for her in the Market of Monsters trilogy, but I wasn’t so sure what would happen in its next instalment as both books featured this storyline. If you need a refresher before I start things off with the latest and last book in this ruthless trilogy, feel free to check out my review for the book that came before, Only Ashes Remain and if you haven’t already read this series, check it out! ![]() Nita will always be one of my most favourite morally grey, badass main characters that have graced the YA genre. I can sincerely say that I have never read anything quite like the Market of Monsters trilogy. ![]() I’m sad to see these characters and their stories end, I will miss them dearly, but my goodness these books are amazing. That’s an amazing feat for any writer and their work. I was captivated from start to finish and although the plot deviated from my own expectations, I was left satisfied with how it all ended. When Villains Rise by Rebecca Schaeffer left me utterly speechless. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Selection Series Reading Orders #1 The Selection Series in Order by Publication We’ll start off our lists with The Selection Books in Order by Publication.

Stand in the basilica of Saint-Denis, where Joan of Arc prayed with her soldiers in the Hundred Years' War, and gaze at the murals of Saint-Sulpice painted by Eugene Delacroix, or visit the village of Auvers where Vincent van Gogh painted the lovely Gothic church of Notre Dame d’Auvers-sur-Oise. This spiritual tour is interwoven with the artistic and cultural history of Paris, from the medieval Crusades through the Resistance of World War II. ![]() Susan Cahill's Sacred Paris is a guide for seasoned Parisian visitors, novices, and armchair travelers to the historic religious sites of the city, from the well-known landmarks to the sacred spots off the beaten track, from the magnificent towers of Notre-Dame and the sweeping arches of the Grand Mosque to the serenity of Saint-Julien-le-Pauvre.

Those expecting a Christie-style locked-room mystery at sea will be disappointed. No one, unsurprisingly, believes her, or buys her story of a mysterious woman she saw lurking on the ship hours earlier. Everything on the Aurora is sparkly and decadent, from the chandeliers to the wealthy guests, most of whom are either fellow travel writers or investors brought on by owner Lord Richard Bullmer, but Lo is distracted from the scenery-the ship is headed for a tour of the Norwegian fjords-by her certainty that she heard the unmistakable sound of a body hitting the water from the adjacent cabin. When Lo witnesses something terrifying, no one believes her and she launches into a horrifying investigation to find out what happened. Aboard a luxury travel cruise heading to see the Northern Lights, she meets a mysterious woman, The Woman in Cabin 10. A break-in at her London flat days before her departure does little more than set up Lo as an easily startled protagonist. Lo Blacklock is a travel journalist on the assignment of a lifetime. In Ware’s underwhelming sophomore mystery (after 2015’s In a Dark, Dark Wood), Laura “Lo” Blacklock thinks stepping in for her pregnant boss for a week-long jaunt on the new miniature cruise ship Aurora will give her a leg up at Velocity, the magazine where she’s toiled for years. ![]() ![]() His very friendly, community conscious neighbour had a mower stollen one night by a couple of drunken goons. ![]() My husband once told me a story about a neighbour he had before his family moved to our city. ![]() So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in her family's history-and, with any luck, steal her life back along the way. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help.įor Kat, there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. But he has a good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Soon, Kat's friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring Kat back into the world she tried so hard to escape. Unfortunately, leaving “the life” for a normal life proves harder than she’d expected. When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own-scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. ![]() For her seventh birthday, Katarina and her Uncle Eddie traveled to Austria…to steal the crown jewels. ![]() When Katarina Bishop was three, her parents took her on a trip to the Louvre…to case it. ![]() ![]() ![]() There was rust, though even the best Harper performance might not have done much to prevent the Dodgers' from prevailing in a 13-1 rout. On Tuesday, Harper settled back into the No. "I want to keep feeling good, understanding my body, what it feels like, and just go from there." ![]() "As of right now, I feel really, really good, and I want to stay there," Harper said. Clearing Harper was just a formality by the time the Phillies arrived on the West Coast. Neal ElAttrache, who performed Harper's surgery, in Los Angeles. It was a month into the season, and it would allow him to visit with Dr. A month ago, Harper had already started taking batting practice on the field at Yankee Stadium during the Phillies' second series of the year.Īn early May return made sense to Harper for multiple reasons. When the Phillies decided against shifting Harper to the 60-day injured list at the end of March, it was clear he would beat that initial timeline - significantly. "I worked very hard on all sides of that - in the weight room, diet, whatever I could put forward to make my body heal quicker or faster or whatever I needed to do, I did." "My body has been very good to me in this process," Harper said. A mid-July expectation would allow ample time in the event of a setback. The Phillies set an initial target of the All-Star break - one that both Harper and the Philadelphia staff knew he'd beat. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thirty and a Half Excuses (Rose Gardner, #3) Amazonįalling to Pieces (Rose Gardner, #3.5) Amazon Sounds complicated? YES that’s why you gotta read this. It is light-hearted, comical, naughty and VERY serious too. I made a list of them in their order with the amazon links. She works at the DMV, that alone is funny. Her boring town, lack of excitement and her truly crazy mother were only the beginning. The feeling of really being connected to a character just makes to be book a real page turner. ![]() When Rose makes a list on her Wal-Mart receipt, she does so because of her “non eventful” life. ![]() When I was reading the first few chapters, some were hard, I felt like laughing and then crying. The beginning of the book is the set-up for her Momma getting murdered. Then I will say that the main character Rose Anne Gardner pulled on my heart strings! I felt so connected to her. ![]() ![]() ![]() Her book is not a from-the-cradleto-the-grave biography, since it really begins with the King, in his early twenties, assuming absolute power at Mazarin’s death nor does it open a very wide window on history, since it deals hardly at all with Louis’s place in the Europe of his time, and very little more with his actual governing of France. No other king, again, has had three ladies around the house who to this day are household names nor presided over so many splendid establishments, from the Louvre, which he avoided, to the Versailles which he adored and none either, that I know of, had so many famous writersand artists-in-residence, whether as composers or historiographers or dramatists or diarists or chaplains or gardeners or tutors.Īnd now Nancy Mitford, whose writing has nicely mingled real French people - Voltaire, Madame de Pompadour-with fictional English ones, has paused to celebrate Louis, and turned back to his fabulous and rather monstrous world in The Sun King. This is not hard to account for: in addition to being the lengthiest of reigns, Louis’s was the most resplendent was the most scandalous as well as ceremonious of courts and Louis himself was the grandest mannered as well as the most terrifying of monarchs. ![]() ![]() THE reign, the court life, the personal and inviolable majesty of Louis XIV have attracted biographers in every age, and been steadily in demand among readers. ![]() |
