5/13/2023 0 Comments Girl, Nearly 16 by Sue Limb![]() You see it in the animal world all the time, with creatures competing for mates. I think jealousy is a biological phenomenon. It feeds on being apart from your boyfriend and not knowing what he’s up to. What do you think of Jess’s jealous behavior in this book? Is it typical first-love stuff, or totally over the top?Ī: Jealousy is just one of those horrible emotions which we all suffer from, and we hate ourselves even as we’re feeling it. Q: In Girl, (Nearly) 16, Jess deals pretty heavily with jealousy. Knowing the characters well is a real advantage. ![]() I could go back and spend time with Jess again and again. The books sort of evolve rather than being fully planned before I start. I didn’t conceive of it as a trilogy–in fact, I’m writing a fourth book right now. Did you conceive of Jess’s story as a trilogy, or did you write one book and then find yourself eager to revisit the character?Ī: I enjoyed the first book so much that I wanted to spend more time with Jess. ![]() Q: Girl, 15, Charming but Insane and Girl, (Nearly) 16: Absolute Torture both chronicle the charmingly insane life of Jess Jordan, and you’ve written a third novel, Girl, (Going on) 17: Pants on Fire. ![]()

How about goalie versus goalie? When two face off against one another in Avon Gale and Piper Vaughn’s recent standalone edition in their Hat Trick series, it makes Goalie Interference a power play! But there’s more to life than winning, and if Emmitt and Ryu can get past their egos and competitive natures, they might just discover they work better as partners than they ever imagined possible. Beating Armstrong at practice feels good, sure, but there are other, more fun ways to shut his rival up. Ryu doesn’t want to admit the other goalie’s smart mouth turns him on. If the Venom are looking for a meek, mild-mannered pushover, they’ve got the wrong guy. Emmitt Armstrong knows that, and he’s not about to waste the opportunity after grinding his way from the bottom to the top. Not everyone gets to play in the best league in the world. ![]() So when he’s called into management’s office, he’s expecting to hear he’s the new starting goalie for the team, not that some new guy-an incredibly hot, annoyingly bratty rookie-is here to compete for his spot. ![]() Ryu Mori has had a stellar season as goalie for the Atlanta Venom. goalie in this brand-new enemies-to-lovers hockey romance from Avon Gale and Piper Vaughn… ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments A long petal of the sea a novel![]() Together with two thousand other refugees, Roser and Victor embark on the SS Winnipeg, a ship chartered by the poet Pablo Neruda, to Chile: “the long petal of sea and wine and snow.” As unlikely partners, the couple embraces exile as the rest of Europe erupts in world war.

The main character, Belly (short for Isabel), has just turned 16, and now has the attention of both Conrad and Jeremiah, who are the sons of her mom’s best friend. It’s about two families who are bonded by their moms’ lifelong friendship, and who grew up spending their summers together at a beach house in Cousins Beach. This series has ultimate summer vibes, and it reminds me of the feeling of watching Outer Banks for the first time during the spring of 2020. The seven-episode series was exactly what I needed right now. She is credited as the creator and writer of the teleplay (and even makes a cameo!), so you can go into it knowing that the TV series did the books justice. The book trilogy is written by Jenny Han (author of the Everygirl-favorite To All The Boys I Loved Before series), and she was heavily involved in the creation of the show-which is now streaming on Prime Video. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Chirri and chirra the rainy day![]() ![]() The colored pencil art creates a softly glowing, magical landscape of friendly animals and sweet treats. As the girls pedal away they begin to float, and discover that they are riding through the clouds on top of upside down rain! More adventures follow in this “wonderful day in the rain,” until Chirri and Chirra float down gently after eating magical gumdrops which turn into balloons. They encounter a shop in the forest which is only open on rainy days where they sip teas and eat frozen raindrop candy. The sound of their bicycle bells -“Dring-dring, dring-dring!”- is the signal that their adventure begins. It’s a cloudy day and Chirri and Chirra decide to go for a ride. What did you like about the book? Two little identical girls (sisters? besties?) have an epic bicycle journey of the imagination.

The diary of his 1969 season with the Seattle Pilots and the Houston Astros also included anecdotes from his time with the Yankees during the first seven seasons of his career. “Ball Four,” which came out in 1970, had a dramatic effect on baseball by revealing the late-night adventures of players like New York Yankees star Mickey Mantle and the use of illegal drugs. Media reports said Bouton died at his home in Great Barrington, Massachusetts. Jim Bouton, whose controversial book “Ball Four” exposed the personal lives of his baseball teammates, died Wednesday after a bout with vascular dementia, his wife, Paula Kurman, said. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Nora roberts year one trilogy![]() ![]() ![]() Roberts believes in writing every day.
