The Wolfen by Whitley Strieber5/11/2023 Since Bob isn’t the most rational sort of being, who clearly doesn’t think things through all the way and acts on impulse at times, he ends up in a heap of worse trouble when he bites a visiting, gossipy neighbor who insists on insulting his ‘tail-wagging’ capabilities. Unfortunately for him at the time, one night he completely changes – in front of family and therapist friend. Awaiting him is a pile of mounting bills, unpaid debts, eviction notices, marital pressure, possible homelessness, therapy, his young son reading Kafka like it’s a guide, and, oh, yeah, dreams of becoming a wolf. The signs are hard to ignore, but the man does his best when he gets home to wifey and son. The next day he briefly wonders if he imagined the whole thing. The plot may not even sound that horrorish - see, I can invent new words =) It reads out more of a drama, the horror being the forcefulness of the situation Bob Duke finds himself in, the uncertainty, and his rebelliousness against the change attacking his body.īob Duke becomes a wolf one night at a hotel on a business trip. You also don’t have a constantly shifting creature raging against his inner impulses there’s no moon watching here, no silver bullets to be dodged, and no strange herbs to devour to fend off any curses. Nope, you don’t have furry man-beasts sniffing out human flesh here, folks. The First thing that should be noted, gotten out of the way first, is to emphasize this is no ordinary werewolf novel.

The Lost and the Chosen by Ivy Asher5/10/2023 My name is Vinna, and I've been keeping a lot of secrets.You would too if you'd experienced some of the weird shit I have: red-eyed monsters chasing me, markings on my body appearing out of nowhere, a strange power that crackles colorfully over my skin from time to time, and don't get me started on the weapons I can conjure up almost out of nowhere. I put that to the test when I run headfirst into a fight that brings all my secrets. Lucky for me, I have yet to meet someone whose ass I couldn't kick, inside the ring or out. Perfect ten by michelle craig5/10/2023 According to such models, people’s values determine what they want to achieve, which in turn will lead them to work toward that goal. Models of goal pursuit (e.g., Mischel, Cantor, & Feldman, 1996) generally back up this intuition. Diener, 2000 Kahneman, Diener, & Schwarz, 1999).Īt first glance, valuing happiness should lead to positive outcomes, because it is assumed that the more one values happiness the happier one will be. We based our operationalization of happiness on a prominent definition in the present cultural context, namely individuals’ emotional state (cf. The current investigation examines how such differences in valuing happiness affect people’s actual happiness and well-being. Whereas some view it as a nice thing to have every now and then, others see it as the sine qua non of their existence. However, there is substantial variation in the extent to which people value happiness ( Eid & Diener, 2001). Indeed, in an acknowledgment of its value, the pursuit of happiness was identified as an “inalienable right” in the US Declaration of Independence. Happiness is a crucial ingredient of human well-being and health ( Duckworth, Steen, & Seligman, 2005 Fredrickson, 1998 Lyubomirsky, King, & Diener, 2005) and, therefore, people generally value happiness ( Diener, 2000 Myers, 2000). The maidens by alex michaelides5/10/2023 As Mariana looks closer at the crime and more bodies start to turn up, the more convinced she becomes that Fosca is the guilty party, alibis be damned. Of particular interest is Edward Fosca, the charismatic Greek tragedy professor and Tara’s potential lover, known for heading an exclusive, all female “study group” (aka secret society) known around campus as ‘The Maidens’. But when her niece Zoe calls from Cambridge after her friend, Tara, is found murdered, Mariana quickly finds herself caught up in the investigation. Mariana Andros is a London-based group therapist still reeling from the tragic death of her husband a year prior. Still, I’d hoped it would be a fun mystery read with some secret society shenanigans, a dash of classic mythology and a decent twist at the end. I went into it knowing full well it wouldn’t be the next The Secret History. I didn’t have crazy, unreachable expectations for this book. Tower of dawn book series5/10/2023 I might’ve enjoyed it more if it was a bit short. I really enjoyed this book but I can’t say it was my favorite because it felt too long and a bit wordy sometimes. I was very much excited to read this book because it’s Chaol Westfall’s book, one of my favorite characters in this series. Tower Of Dawn is the sixth installment in throne of Glass series. It had led him to precisely where he needed to be. Every moment of despair and rage and pain. But what they discover there will change them both – and be more vital to saving Erilea than they could have imagined. It’s Chaol’s one shot at recovery, and with war looming back home, Dorian and Aelin’s survival could depend on Chaol and Nesryn convincing Antica’s rulers to ally with them. Now he and Nesryn sail for Antica – the stronghold of the southern continent’s mighty empire and of the legendary healers of the Torre Cesme. But all of that has changed since Aelin shattered the glass castle, since Chaol’s men were slaughtered, since the King of Adarlan spared him from a killing blow, but left his body broken. GENRE: New-Adult, Fantasy, Romance, Adventure, Magic.Ĭhaol Westfall has always defined himself by his unwavering loyalty, his strength, and his position as the Captain of the Guard. |
