5/11/2023 0 Comments The only and only ivan bookBut there may just be some humans who are good and loving. Both Ivan and Ruby have lost their families because of the cruel actions of humans. As Ivan becomes more and more protective of Ruby, he vows to get her out of the mall – somehow. Maybe gorillas (and elephants) belong in wild places with their own kind. When Ruby, a young elephant, arrives to share Stella’s cage, Ivan starts to realize that maybe life in the mall is not normal. Ivan also loves to draw and paint, and Julia is fond of bringing him supplies. He misses Tag, but he loves Stella and Bob, and even Julia, a girl who comes to see him on a daily basis. The only thing he remembers vividly is his sister, Tag, and the way she used to chase him playfully through the trees. Ivan can hardly recall the life he led as a young gorilla. He lives at the Exit 8 Big Top Mall – in a small cage he calls a domain – and his best friends are Bob the dog and Stella the elephant. Ivan doesn’t live in the lush forests with other gorillas. Although he is massive and strong like other silverbacks, he doesn’t have the opportunity to use his power to protect his family. The One and Only IvanBy Katherine Applegate 5/11/2023 0 Comments Cutie Pies by Barbara Bell“Cutie Pies has been percolating in my brain for a long time while studying wine in Toronto,” she explains. Wine and food have always been a natural pairing for Burnett. “I really love Grey County and thought if I were going to reside in Ontario, it would be here,” she says. Her boss, chef Shawn Adler, encouraged her to sell her product at a little weekly market he was running that summer, and before long, Cutie Pies Pizza was born.īurnett currently lives in Markdale, and first came to the area 12 years ago after travelling around Canada. So, she brought a sample of the pizza in to her work at The Flying Chestnut Kitchen in Eugenia, the restaurant where she had been running the front-of-house for a decade and curated the wine and beverage list. Immediately, she loved the flavour and the health benefits of naturally fermented dough. Machaella Burnett, a sommelier and hospitality industry veteran, had been stuck at home during the first COVID-19 lockdown in 2020 and tried out something new in her kitchen.Īt the time, she couldn’t find any yeast in her grocery store, so she began experimenting with making sourdough pizza. Sometimes, it takes a pandemic lockdown to bring a great idea to life. 5/11/2023 0 Comments I am charlotte simmons reviewThe author remains convinced that America has so much '"money in the bank" - not just wealth, but brainpower and military power - that the country can afford the current condition of campus life. "There were many surprises to someone like myself who went to college in the late '40s and the early '50s," he tells NPR's Robert Siegel. Wolfe traveled to universities across the country to research contemporary campus life for I Am Charlotte Simmons, which depicts college as a hedonistic playground of non-stop drinking and rampant casual sex. That includes rich, bigoted frat boys, skinny sorority girls, leftwing campus intellectuals and members of the university's national championship basketball team. At Dupont University, the elite fictional school in Tom Wolfe's new novel, the students have sex on their minds and vulgarities on their lips. 5/11/2023 0 Comments The power broker book reviewInstead of allowing the bonds to be paid off, Moses learns how to reissue them on a continual basis so that they are never paid off.

Will pauses, bringing the car to rest in the street. He hadn’t had time to see the house then. Then he’d flown back, so we could drive here together. He’d flown in last week, to Portland, to take care of the official paperwork. “That one,” I say to Will, pointing at it because it’s identical to the one in the picture that was given to Will from the executor of the estate. If the sun were out maybe I’d feel differently. It doesn’t help that the day, like the house, is gray. But I know better than to take things at face value. On the surface, there’s nothing about the house that’s not to like. The street itself is charming, sloped and tree-covered, each house as lovely and well-kept as the next. It’s boxy and big, a foursquare farmhouse with windows aligned in rows, symmetrical in a way I find eye-pleasing. On the surface, it’s perfectly idyllic, gray with a large covered porch, one that runs the full width of the house. Something that nags at me, makes me feel uneasy, though I don’t know what it is about the house that makes me feel this way. 5/11/2023 0 Comments Shadow frost coco maIt’s been a month since this book published.

When their paths entwine, Asterin realizes that Eoin possesses exactly what - and who - she seeks most. Another realm coexists with the mortal world - the beautiful, nightmarish Immortal Realm ruled by the wicked God of Shadow, King Eoin. Yet it soon becomes clear that the shadows plaguing her kingdom are just the beginning. But the shadows in Axaria have begun to stir once again, and no one is more starved for vengeance than Asterin. Except Asterin’s triumph has come at a devastating cost - forced to choose between a lifelong friend and true love, she’s lost both. Her kingdom is safe, forbidden magic eradicated, and her friends are alive. After defeating the evil mother who summoned an immortal demon to kill her, newly coronated Queen Asterin Faelenhart should have every reason to celebrate. In the kingdom of Axaria, a darkness has fallen. Her parents have worked hard to build a new addition onto the side of the house so that Ramona can have her own bedroom, but she’s terrified to sleep alone in it and she can’t tell anyone. Her first-grade teacher doesn’t understand her. She wanted to do something terrible that would shock her whole family, something that would make them sit up and take notice.” It is a culmination of months of resentment and feeling misunderstood for Ramona, an accumulation of slights big and small that have finally come to a head. “She had been miserable the whole first grade, and she no longer cared what happened. “Ramona had had enough,” Cleary wrote in Ramona the Brave. Her best-known, most beloved creation is Ramona Quimby, the protagonist of seven of Cleary’s many books for young readers, and while Ramona is a naturally curious, cheerful kid, sometimes things do not go her way. The author, who died on March 25, three weeks short of her 105th birthday, was a giant of American literature, a singular talent whose work reshaped the history of children’s literature, and an unmatched prose writer of incredible deftness and skill. No one could write a foul mood like Beverly Cleary.
