(In a cute wink to the reader, Tobias nicknames Nash "Gruff Daddy," identifying his type as his Pornhub fantasy-come-to-life.) And of course, the fake dating swiftly develops into something real. (Their nosey, caring family and friends are not so easily put off, of course, but the guys don't count on that.) Their masquerade is fraught with sexual tension that is prolonged enough to make them (and us!) itchy. Over an impromptu dinner date, the larger "fake date" plan in born: they will pose as boyfriends at both events to avoid the tiresome, intrusive questions and judgments of family and friends. Both men are in their late-40s and both have reasons for wanting to appear attached at their respective events. The set up for the "fake date flip-flop" in question is a lobby meet-cute between silver daddy Nash (recently single and attending his niece's hotel wedding) and Tobias (a former gymnast, also single, who is attending his high school reunion at the same hotel). It is by-the-numbers m/m romance short, but breezily so-and it did the trick because I liked it enough that I will definitely check out the larger series. This was a fun, light, m/m romance/advert for Hank Edwards's Williamsville Inn series, a freebie from the Prolific Works Winter Wonderland Story Giveaway from January 2021.

Starting out, hugely appreciative of their friendship, the delight in healthy exercise in the open air, the two friends absolutely appreciate the solitude and connection with the natural world which takes so many of us out into walking, running, swimming, or climbing ‘in nature’ What happy endorphins we feel, rushing through us : A couple of friends, boating enthusiasts, embark on a canoe trip down the Danube, and all in blissful, balmy weather As the nights are still long and dark, this chilling, genuinely creepy long short story or short novella by Algernon Blackwood should still make a reader shiver, starting nervously as winter winds rustle the branches against the windows I read a whole slew of books around the witching end of October, but never got round to reviewing. It may start out jolly, but for sure it’s far from light-hearted “No matter what happened to you in your past, you are not your past, you are the resources and the capabilities you glean from it. “Successful people are 100% convinced that they are masters of their own destiny, they’re not creatures of circumstance, they create circumstance, if the circumstances around them suck they change them.” If you have persistence, you will come out ahead of most people. “You don’t choose who you fall in love with, do you? And once you do fall in love-that obsessive sort of love, that all-consuming love, where two people can’t stand to be apart from each other for even a moment-how are you supposed to let a love like that pass you by?” “The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.” Yes he’s controversial but you want to use these techniques for the good and not for the bad.īelow are some great quotes from the book. I’m currently reading a great book Way of the Wolf by Jordan Belfort and it’s a sensational book that teaches you the art of sales. Contemporary devotional practices urged individuals to confront their personal sins through meditation on the lives of saints such as Peter and Mary Magdalen, who was also frequently shown weeping. Cardinal Bellarmine insisted that Peter’s tears were a form of confession. The moment is after he denied being a disciple of Christ in the courtyard of the house of the High Priest: "and Peter remembered how Jesus had said, ‘Before the cock crows you will disown me three times.’ He went outside, and wept bitterly." (Matthew 26:75 Mark 14:66–72 Luke 22:55–62 John 18:17–18, 25–27) As Emile Mâle has explained, the subject became especially popular following the Council of Trent’s defense of penitence as a sacrament. The picture and subject: The picture shows Saint Peter, his hands clasped in prayer, his head directed heavenwards, his eyes reddened and filled with tears. In a way this is the case because A Pocket Full of Rye seems more interesting in the mystery and less interested in being camp and gaudy in the way the other films often did. I was not so taken by previous ITV Marple films even if some of them did have light entertainment qualities that I appreciated, so I saw the new casting of Marple as a "reboot" of sorts for the series. If I want something that is accurate and faithful to the book then I shall read the book – not watch an adapted version of the book, what I am looking for from the film is that it works, that it intrigues, that it entertains, that it thrills – really whatever it is trying to do, I hope it does it and that I like it, simple as. I shall leave it for others much better read than I to debate how "faithful" this film is to the source material because, to be blunt, I don't care. Things become more complex when Gladys the maid is also murdered – bringing in the attention of Miss Marple, former employee of Gladys. Of his children, Percival felt trapped below him in the business, Lance had a falling out with him and moved to East Africa while his daughter is clearly relieved that her father is dead. Rex's much younger wife is in line to inherit his fortune. When successful businessman Rex Fortescue is poisoned at his desk it appears to Inspector Neele that he has plenty of suspects to work with. This book is a spin off of Rock Chicks and Chaos so it shouldn’t be a surprise to know that so many of the characters/things from those series make appearances- including but not limited to- The Hot Bunch, Commandos, The Rock Chicks, Fortnum’s, cheese boards, interrupted sex, a few of the guys from Chaos (although not nearly enough Tack, I want all the Tack I can get). Some spoilery stuff ahead- proceed at your own risk. There is lots of over the top drama that is very reminiscent of almost every single Rock Chick and Chaos book and the situations in those books. Daniel “Mag” is introduced pretty early and serves the role of the alphahole. Evan is a woman in peril when her terrible brother involves her in some stupid shit. I found that Dream Maker didn’t stray too far from the tried and true Kristen Ashley formula.

It can be microscopic, yet also accounts for the largest organisms ever recorded, living for millennia and weighing tens of thousands of tonnes. Neither plant nor animal, it is found throughout the earth, the air and our bodies. There is a lifeform so strange and wondrous that it forces us to rethink how life works.
