He envied Prometheus and Loki, Sisyphus and Judas. During the journey he would stand near every child in the world, leave one of the dwarves' invisible gifts by its bedside. Once every year they forced him, sobbing and protesting, into Endless Night. The dwarfish natives of the Arctic caverns did not speak his language, but conversed in their own, twittering tongue, conducted incomprehensible rituals, when they were not actually working in the factories. Older than sin, and his beard could grow no whiter. Short Fictions and Illusions Chapter One Nicholas Was. ![]() ![]() ![]() Stores ranging from discounters like Target to traditional chains like JCPenney now offer the newest trends at unprecedentedly low prices. ![]() When she found herself lugging home seven pairs of identical canvas flats from Kmart (a steal at $7 per pair, marked down from $15!), she realized that something was deeply wrong.Cheap fashion has fundamentally changed the way most Americans dress. She was buying a new item of clothing almost every week (the national average is sixty-four per year) but all she had to show for it was a closet and countless storage bins packed full of low-quality fads she barely wore-including the same sailor-stripe tops and fleece hoodies as a million other shoppers. ![]() Maxx, and cheap but trendy retailers like Forever 21, Target, and H&M. She’d grown accustomed to shopping at outlet malls, discount stores like T.J. Until recently, Elizabeth Cline was a typical American consumer. ![]() ![]() I don't think I have ever heard him sound so at odds with the TARDIS, it's a bizarre tonal shift. Lurking in a young lady’s – what will people say? The Doctor is vicious with the TARDIS at the climax when the Ship tries to wrestle control from him. I can hear all the book fans of Doctor Who sighing with relief. Certainly not longer than a few hundred years. Except now, the static wants to get in.īreathless Romantic: He’s been travelling the universe for ages now and he has never been stuck anywhere for too long. ![]() ![]() Meaning there’s a vacancy for Miss Lucie Miller, single and unattached… Outside the house, the static howls on. Alas, there are altogether too few eligible ladies on the upper floors these days. Inside the house, there’s an upstairs and a downstairs – servants below, gentlefolk from the finest of the house’s families above. Outside its outsized windows there’s nothing. ![]() What’s it about: The TARDIS brings the Doctor and Lucie to a vast house on the planet known as Horton’s Orb. ![]() ![]() Ian McDonald thinks it will take a thumping profit motive to make lunar colonisation even remotely conceivable, and that colonists will have to be a more hardy breed than your regular frontiersmen and women. Part of the problem is that when we went to the moon what we found was profoundly unpromising: a vacuum landscape of almost unimaginable harshness, lethally hot during its fortnight-long day, appallingly cold during its fortnight-long night, blasted with radiation, dusty, parched and grey. ![]() No human has ventured further than low earth orbit for 30 years. Going to the moon is now something our ancestors did, not something our children are likely to do. Manned spaceflight in the 1960s and 1970s quickly slipped from science fiction’s dreamed-of future into reality’s irretrievable past. T hat old song “Everyone’s Gone to the Moon” turned out to be a lie. ![]() ![]() ![]() The world was well thought out, and the characters were already developed, and I really liked that. It was cute and I really enjoyed reading it. There wasn’t really a point to it, as far as I could tell, aside from showing that Jackson could time travel, and how he met Holly. Nineteen-year-old Jackson Meyer is a normal guy… he’s in college, throws lots of parties, is interested in a girl he can’t have, and oh yeah, he can travel back through time.But it’s not like the movies – nothing changes in the present after his jumps, there’s no space-time continuum issues or broken flux capacitors – it’s just harmless fun.My Review: Review: I really liked this story, and I’ll definitely be checking out the novel that this came before. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The story is from Cassie’s point of view, I would of liked it from both points of view as I feel you would get to know both characters better. ![]() It’s a very romantic book, it’s funny and charming. Brook and Cassie had chemistry right from the start, so she requested from the agency Cassie as she knew she was no longer working for the other family and came recommended so Cassie was hired by Brook for a 1 year contract. Cassie and Brook first meet at a soccer match when Cassie was nanny to another girl that was on the team. Cassie just started working for a agency as a nanny as she needs money to pay for her course, after her parents cut her off financially as she dropped out of medical school after the first semester, and they were not happy with her decision. This book was about Brook who is a single mother to her son Noah and she works for the family multimillion business, so she is very busy in meetings and she decides to hire a live in nanny to look after her son who is six. ![]() ![]() ![]() The year’s outstanding debut authors for children: shortlist for the 2023 Branford Boase Award announced.Celebrate Grandparents Day with 50 great kids books about grandparents.Anxiety & Wellbeing - 80 Books to Help Children Nurture Good Mental Health.Jacqueline Wilson - our Guest Editor of the Month.Branford Boase 2023 – what the judges had to say about the shortlist.Read Hour returns for its third year in the UK with Moomin Characters.In its 20th year, the shortlist for CLiPPA (CLPE Children’s Poetry Award) reflects the wealth of talent in children’s poetry.13 Children's Books Featuring Poverty and Homelessness.30 enticing chapter books for children who are newly independent readers.60 kids books about grief to explain death to children and help them grieve.LGBTQI+ Children's Books celebrating Pride in London and Pride Month this June. ![]() Sophie Cameron - our Author of the Month.Best kids books for getting children walking for National Walking Month and Walk to School Week.Shortlist announced for the 2023 Klaus Flugge Prize for the most exciting newcomer to children’s picture book illustration. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rules Be KindĮvery interaction on the subreddit must be kind, respectful, and welcoming.

There was such mystery surrounding the Adamites and Eden in the first book, and I loved having more clarity. The sequel takes place on Eden, so as readers, we learn much more about the Adamite population, their culture, and the world as a whole. One thing I liked about Nyxia Unleashed was the balance between answers and questions. Though Nyxia Unleashed is a good sequel, I did not love it, as I did the first book. ![]() Check out my review here! When I saw its sequel, Nyxia Unleashed, available on NetGalley, I immediately requested it and started to read it.The first book left on quite the cliffhanger, and I was eager to be back in the world Reintgen created and see what would happen next. After finishing Nyxia, I was blown away by how much I enjoyed the book. Our protagonist, Emmett, and the other teenagers don't realize until they are on the ship that spaces are limited, and they have to compete against each other to get the money. The Babel Corporation is paying the teenagers a fortune in exchange for them to travel to another planet and extract a substance they call nyxia. In the first book, 10 teenagers are given the opportunity of a lifetime. ![]() ![]() I'm a fan of science fiction novels, and Nyxia's plot sounded perfect for me. Last year, Scott Reintgen debuted his first novel, Nyxia. ![]() |
