Also, who has never wondered, sitting down, relaxing in a Chateau, by the end of the afternoon when the place starts to get empty of tourists, what would happen if a ghost would appear and talk ?

The Journey Home by Alison Lester6/26/2023 “For as long as I can remember, I have always been interested in nature, said Deary. She often wondered if her childhood of adapting to new environments is what interested her in studying evolution and adaptation in fishes. Although it was not easy moving, making new friends, and changing schools frequently, Deary viewed the ability to be immersed in new cultures, try new foods, and explore new parts of the country and the world as a major benefit.

Remember Me by Lisa Takeuchi Cullen6/25/2023 In both fact and fiction I'm drawn to worlds I once knew little about. Once you pick up this novel, you won't be able to put it down."

My debut novel, "Pastors' Wives" (Plume/Penguin 2013), is about three very different women married to pastors at a Southern evangelical megachurch-the kind with the Jumbotrons and the power band. Dungeon Spawned by D.R. Rosier6/25/2023 Almost any gamer is going to find familiar situations in the dungeon-crawling and political intrigue that share roughly equal time on stage. The world is pretty clearly based on a D&D-style world, and works well within that framework. On the whole, the book is quite well-written, although there are some annoying errors that should have been picked up by better proof-reading / editing - "your" used instead of "you're" on occasion, and a character whose name jumps between Jerrold and Gerald a few times - sometimes even on the same page. The regular fantasy plot of the story is far more prevalent. In my opinion, it doesn't really class as erotica - there are some sex scenes, but not many, and not particularly graphic. This is supposedly an erotic fantasy story about a sentient dungeon - a relatively minor sub-genre, but not as minor as you might expect.

Brief interviews6/24/2023 For example, a cognitive impairment rate of 23% was observed in a large longitudinal study of community dwelling older adults, 4 and cognitive decline is estimated to affect 15 to 35% of hospitalized older adults receiving general medicine services. 1, 3 Cognitive impairment and cognitive decline are known to affect community dwelling elders. 1 Typically, complex IADL performance is not directly observable in acute, postacute, or primary care settings, 2 and other methods of determining the presence of subtle, but still potentially significant, cognitive impairments are limited.

Metro 2033 book series6/24/2023 But now a new and terrible threat has appeared. It was one of the Metro's best stations and still remains secure. VDNKh is the northernmost inhabited station on its line. Feelings have given way to instinct - the most important of which is survival. Stations have become mini-statelets, their people uniting around ideas, religions, water-filters - or the simple need to repulse an enemy incursion.It is a world without a tomorrow, with no room for dreams, plans, hopes. They live in the Moscow Metro - the biggest air-raid shelter ever built. A few score thousand survivors live on, not knowing whether they are the only ones left on earth. Mutated by radiation, they are better adapted to the new world. Man has handed over stewardship of the earth to new life-forms. The ether is void and the airwaves echo to a soulless howling where previously the frequencies were full of news from Tokyo, New York, Buenos Aires. More than 20 years have passed since the last plane took off from the earth. But the last remains of civilisation have already become a distant memory, the stuff of myth and legend. Survivors still remember the past greatness of humankind. Beyond their boundaries, they say, lie endless burned-out deserts and the remains of splintered forests. The half-destroyed cities have become uninhabitable through radiation. |
