Hello, and here is an update for the Sombre Chapbook. In case you missed the beginning – here are the details. And now, the news: all poems have been selected and arranged, roughly edited, awating final moderation, but the main piece of news is that I HAVE THE COVER ART FOR THE BOOK READY. [...]  The Lost World, publ. 1912 When I got down to reading this book, I had known Arthur Conan Doyle as “Father of Sherlock Holmes” and was rather surprised to find out the he exploited yet another of my favourite streaks in reading, fantasy and science. Of course, I am speaking of myself of many years [...] This is an example of a book which I did not like as much as I did the film shot on it. Unfortunately, the story failed to grab and hold me, as I expected. In my teenage, I tried reading some Tolkien, and did not enjoy it. I hoped it was due to the text, [...] Despite its sometimes archaic language and certain naivety entirely due to the age of its production, Uncle Tom’s Cabin is an indispensable read in the young reader and learner reading list.

And never time to stop and just gaze in wonder, in fear, or simply amazed. So little said, so much to hear. Maybe too much, too close and maybe too clear. [...] Carry On Tuesday suggested we borrow inspiration from the end of Gone With the Wind by M. Mitchell. I borrowed the words, too: *** “After all, tomorrow is another day.” And if it fails to dawn our present sorrow will be swept away All in all, in life that’s what smarties say: “You know that [...] BOOK REVIEW: Fated by Carolyn McCray
The book is full of suspense. It does not let go till nearly the very end. The plot is tense and closely-knit. The political intrigue is very powerful. That, as well as the main characters’ inner moral struggles, was what attracted me most in the book. As for [...] |
