His face was odd not conventionally handsome, but arresting and intriguing, with high cheekbones and a determined mouth. His eyes were blue-gray like the sea at its most mysterious. Petting the dog she couldn’t help but glance up at the owner. She knew it was nasty and cruel and she was ashamed of being a part of it. Without thought, Cassie obeyed but she couldn’t help wanting to rebel. One by one Cassie watched the girls on the beach as they looked away from the guy with disgust plain on their faces. We don’t even look at them,” Portia said. ![]() “We never talk to guys from the fishing boats. He had dark red hair, and he was tall, and even at this distance she could see that he was smiling.” There was a dog at his heels. How utterly scuzzy and vomitous.” He didn’t look all that scuzzy to Cassie. I don’t even think he’s changed his clothes. “I saw him this morning on the fish pier, unloading. “They shouldn’t let people like that on the beach, He works on a fishing boat,” Portia said, her nostrils flared as if she smelled something bad. She had no idea she was about to come face to face with her destiny. She was counting the days one painful second at a time until she could get back home to her real friends. ![]() Cassie Blake sat quietly on a beach in Cape Cod listening to the eternally full of herself Portia Bainbridge go on and on-as usual about her and her older brothers many accomplishments. ![]() ![]() ![]() His observations were sometimes witty and humorous, but became more sarcastic and sour the closer he got to the Holy Land. It also included another trip to the Black Sea and Odessa before going on to the Holy Land.Īs the trip progressed, Mark Twain critiqued the various cultures and societies he encountered. The trip was originally sold as a Holy Land excursion with stops along the Mediterranean Sea and a train trip to Paris for the Paris Exhibition of 1867. The book is actually a compilation and modification of several humorous columns that Twain sent back to the Philadelphia Press, a newspaper for which he worked at the time.īy all accounts, Innocents Abroad is truly a travel book, based on an actual trip full of actual events that occurred on an old retired Civil War ship, the USS Quaker City. Twain called this trip his "Great Pleasure Excursion" wherein he traveled with a group of Americans through the Holy Land and Europe. The basis for the book, also called The New Pilgrim's Progress, was Twain's journey aboard a chartered vessel named Quaker City. ![]() Mark Twain's Innocents Abroad, his first book, which was published in 1869 by The American Publishing Company is a collection of travel stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() So I decided I’d review Malcom and Rachel’s story together rather than making separate reviews themselves. ![]() What happens when the man they call Saint, makes you want to sin? Bit by bit, I start to wonder if I’m the one discovering him…or if he’s uncovering me. And that’s where I come in.Īssigned to investigate Saint and reveal his elusive personality, I’m determined to make him the story that will change my career.īut I never imagined he would change my life. Since he hit the scene, his secrets have been his and his alone to keep. ![]() His entire life he’s been surrounded by the press as they dig for tidbits to see if his fairytale life is for real or all mirrors and social media lies. The hottest entrepreneur Chicago has ever known, he’s a man’s man with too much money to spend and too many women vying for his attention. There’s nothing holy about the man except the hell his parties raise. Don’t be fooled by that last name though. This is the story I’ve been waiting for all my life, and its name is Malcolm Kyle Preston Logan Saint. Is it possible to expose Chicago’s hottest player-without getting played? Synopsis from Goodreads of Manwhore (#1): Published March 24th 2015 by Gallery Books ![]() ![]() ![]() But these are minor imperfections in an otherwise excellent recording. His impersonation of the Kennedys' famous Boston accents is only passable, and the occasional snippets of swelling music, complete with majestic trumpet calls, will strike some as over-the-top. McGonagle is an experienced actor, and he keeps the reading at an even pace while rarely straying from a restrained, dignified tone. Dallek ( Flawed Giant: Lyndon Johnson and His Times, 1961-1973) plumbs several pertinent family papers for fresh revelations on Kennedy's health and liaisons, and ably outlines his upbringing, family history and path to the presidency. McGonagle's commanding voice and sober approach fit well with this scholarly, fascinating look at the life of an American icon. ![]() ![]() ![]() The concept of going to the bathroom is made concrete through this illustrated narrative that is both verbally and visually engaging.Įveryone Poops is just right for potty-training, gift-giving, and everyday reading with smart, curious readers.įUN POTTY BOOK FOR TODDLERS: Both a matter-of-fact, educational guide and a hilarious romp through poop territory that will appeal to young listeners over and over again.

Zeno is her partner in their small website construction business, Mahone Inc., which has the brilliant idea of putting lesser-known artists and writers back in the limelight.

(The Devil, in this version of Hell, having been absent for some time.) ![]() At least, until he slaughters the rest of his order and embarks on a new career as would-be King of Hell. That’s Pinhead, to you and me - or the Lead Cenobite, if you’re a purist, as that was how he was credited in the first Hellraiser film (while in The Hellbound Heart, he wasn’t even the lead) - but apparently the entity in question prefers to be addressed as the Hell Priest. For here, in a literary kill-off move that’s surely been played out too many times for anyone to believe it’ll work, Barker does a Reichenbach Falls on his most famous creation: the Hell Priest. Clive Barker’s new novel may open with the resurrection of a magician, but its primary purpose is not to revive the magical past, it’s to lay a ghost. ![]() |
