I cup my hands beneath the stream of water and bring them up to my eyes, rinsing them over and over until the burn starts to subside. I’m pretty sure I hear a girl screaming, but that very well could be me screaming. I find the doorknob and swing the door open, rushing straight to the sink. I can’t find my shorts- God, it hurts so bad-so I stumble my way to the bathroom in order to wash the pepper juice from my eyes and hands. It’s the oldest prank in the book, and I can’t believe I fell for it. I stand up and attempt to open my eyes, but they’re stinging too badly for them to be of any use. When my fingers meet my eyes, for a split second I think maybe my worst fears have come true and I’m actually burning in hell, because SHIT! Motherfucker! I’m going to kill him! I stretch my arms, bring my hands to my eyes, and begin rubbing the sleep out of them. It works for now, but God, I hate mornings. At least Ridge lets my sporadic rent checks slide in exchange for my managing his band. I hate that I have to keep this shitty barista job just to pay for school. I reach over and stop the alarm, dreading another day at work. I can’t even live with it for five seconds. Which is why I’ll never murder anyone, because there’s no way I can live with this sound for eternity. I’m convinced that hell has an intercom system and the buzz of my alarm clock is played at full volume on repeat against the screams of all the lost souls. While never claiming officially to be an historian Graves was a close descendant of German historian Leopold von Ranke and prized historical accuracy. We are simply being told the bloody, scheming, erotic and shocking tale of Rome's ruling dynasty at the peak of its imperial power, spun out as an captivating yarn. More importantly he has such a fine actor's grasp of text and meaning that we never, for one moment, feel that we are being read to. Nelson Runger's voice rumbles along with just the right timbre and clarity for the character of the wily and learned Claudius. The choice of reader is critical, as we are listening to an elderly man tell his long and convoluted life story. As the title siggests, the books are written in the first person, as the autobiography of the partly disabled, sickly survivor of the Claudian wing of the Roman aristocracy who became emperor by flying below the radar and outliving all the other candidates. Bear in mind that the BBC at the peak of its tour de force of TV drama production in the '70s and '80s made these two books into a masterpiece surpassed only (perhaps) by Brideshead Revisited. Think well-spun tale, full of twists and turns, subterfuges and bloody tyranny. Put aside all thought of stuffy classics. Hunter is the only gay member of the band, and he just had a very painful breakup with his first boyfriend-leaked sexts, public heartbreak, and all-and now everyone expects him to play the perfect queer role model for teens.īut Hunter isn't really sure what being the perfect queer kid even means. He and his band Kiss & Tell are on their first major tour of North America, playing arenas all over the United States and Canada (and getting covered by the gossipy press all over North America as well). Hunter never expected to be a boy band star, but, well, here he is. I loved every page!" – Julie Murphy, New York Times bestselling author of Dumplin’Ī smart, sexy YA novel about a boy band star, his first breakup, his first rebound, and what it means to be queer in the public eye, from award-winning author Adib Khorram " Kiss & Tell is a total rush! Perfectly sweet and swoon worthy. Who is Colleen Hoover?Ĭolleen Hoover is a #1 New York Times bestselling author that has had a surprising path to becoming an author. Before we dive into the books though, let’s learn a little bit more about the author. It Ends with Us in particular has seen great success thanks to the like of online communities like BookTok or Bookstagram. Her books have become incredibly popular largely through word-of-mouth. That’s because Hoover is known for her beautiful, evocative writing surrounding love and heartbreak. However, before you start reading any of her novels, you’ll want to make sure that you have your tissues at the ready. Whether you’ve already read one of her books and need to know what’s next, or if you’re only just discovering the author, here are all of the Colleen Hoover books in order. Affectionately known as CoHo, Colleen Hoover has taken the online book world by storm with tremendous success. P190.īetween 15 western Europeans sailed pretty much all over the world and colonised pretty much everything. P153įor three years he and his band roamed the wilds, looking for a new kingdom : kinging was all he knew, and king was the only job title he was seeking. One city they attacked in northern Afghanistan was called – well, I don’t even know what it was called originally. Sometimes the chat is a little too casual, and he comes across as your uncle trying to prove he’s down with the kids by doing the frug, not the best choice: Telling you how, why, all about it, from the top to the bottom, with many glints of humour to get you through some very harrowing stuff. You’re out for a beer with this guy and you ask the fatal question – what’s up with these Muslims anyhow? What are they all about? Forty hours later, Tamim is still talking. Tamim Ansary writes in a chatty, slangy, motormouth style. Obscure to a Western reader, that is, but I’m going to hazard that Transoxiana, Khorasan, Ctesiphon, and the exact difference between Umayyads, Abbasids, Fatimids and Safavids might tax your regular Muslim on the street too. In this book a lot of obscure places and people go rushing by, like a speeded up film, like a boiling river. This is vast but fast history : you have to hang on to your hat, or whatever you hang on to, which might not be a hat, since the kind of hats which a strong wind might snatch from your head are rarely worn today. Right time, right place, right style, this is 100% recommended. Regardless, he’s cordial and professional, prepared to strike poses but nothing extravagant prepared to smile but only occasionally. Perhaps he’s a touch insecure perhaps he doesn’t care enough to fuss or perhaps he wants simply to get on with things. Yet today he seems faintly ill at ease in front of the lens and wants no part of appraising the images that appear on the monitor. Since his mid-teens, he’s been snapped a million times. It might be a hint of nervousness he seldom betrayed at his competitive peak. There is something different about him today, however, apart from the beard. The tall man who arrives bang on time for the Men’s Health photo shoot is unmistakably Ian Thorpe: recently 40, he’s changed little since his days of gliding up and down the pools of the world as though born to the water.
While the Exodans take great pride in their original community and traditions, their culture has been influenced by others beyond their bulkheads. Today, the Exodus Fleet is a living relic, the birthplace of many, yet a place few outsiders have ever visited. After centuries spent wandering empty space, their descendants were eventually accepted by the well-established species that govern the Milky Way.īut that was long ago. Hundreds of years ago, the last humans on Earth boarded the Exodus Fleet in search of a new home among the stars. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. It was exquisite and heartwarming all at once. About adapting to our lives in a multi-cultural galaxy and planning for the future. Instead of detailing vast space adventures and crew dynamics, it is a book about life. Record of a Spaceborn Few is unlike anything I could have expected and I loved it.
