She called Benson out on his BS, stood up for herself, tried so hard to do things on her own but sadly in her weakened state she was relegated to damsel in distress for Benson to coddle. All he literally wanted to do was take care of Becky and run away with her. I was very disappointed he didn't try to renew his friendships with the students that he had befriended back at the school. ![]() Also once he discovered his feelings for Becky it was all BEcky beCkY BECKY. But it wasn't just random little things but convenient information pertinent to his escape. It was really annoying how he just knew things because of movies or TV shows. Now that he knows there are still some students that could help his escape Benson has a choice to make: look out for himself and Becky or help out these kids achieve the freedom that he so desperately wants.I don't know, I just didn't find Benson all that grand this time around. Once Jane convinces him that she's human and that everyone there is also human (use your imagination on the how), he goes back for Becky and carries her back to the little town that they have stumbled upon on their escape from Maxfield. This book picks up right after Benson finds the real human Jane in the barn looking for a way to help Becky who's got a near mangled bicep. How did it go from exciting to really annoying? Oh, I know.BENSON. ![]() Vengeance road book5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() In this book, we are introduced to many characters along the way and with each of them, I felt I knew them.īack to Kate, she was a unique voice in YA that I usually don’t read about. I for one, love a good story of revenge and this book definitely gave me that. Though I am not usually a fan of this genre, Erin wrote it in such a way, that kept me turning the page. Erin’s writing style really captured for me what the Wild West was like. ![]() In a time where women are not seen as tough, she disguises herself as a boy to find out what happened to her father, her only living relative. After finishing it, I honestly want to go back and read it again! What made this book so great was Kate as a character. My Thoughts: After seeing the summary, I new I had to read this book. But as Kate gets closer to the secrets about her family, she gets closer to the truth about herself and must decide if there’s room for love in a heart so full of hate. ![]() What she finds are devious strangers, dust storms, and a pair of brothers who refuse to quit riding in her shadow.

Enterprise at whom the command was directed, was in fact played by a Vancouver-born Second World War veteran and method-trained actor whose real-life adventures were as strange and bold as the show’s. ![]() What’s less well known is that Montgomery Scott, the cantankerous engineer of the U.S.S. “Beam me up, Scotty” is perhaps the most famous line in Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry’s television blend of science fiction, adventure, optimism, and inclusivity. ![]() After the Fire by Will Hill5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() The framing device that is used is alluded to in the title, whereby Moonbeam begins to relive her life with The Lord’s Legion, as it is called. This narrative however cleverly takes us slightly out of the compound that Moonbeam, the main character, has grown up in her entire life. Inevitably, i found myself digging deeper into that real-life event as I read After the Fire. His description of the plot reflected and drew upon the infamous Waco siege in Texas in the 1990s. I first heard about this book properly at last summer’s YALC in London, when Will Hill spoke about his latest novel on a panel based on fiction that takes inspiration from real events. What if the only way out of the darkness is to light a fire?

He did not write sci-fi and literary novels – he was a master of storytelling that combined both. Stories of loss, grief, rebirth and self-discovery are the core of the best Culture novels. Banks broke the genre apart, and with a little inspiration from M John Harrison and Ursula Le Guin (and some outright theft from Larry Niven), he created a series of space opera novels that remains unmatched.īut for all his mastery of high-octane action sequences, and the sheer invention of his Big Dumb Objects, Banks’s science fiction – credited to M Banks, his literary fiction going without the middle initial – has lasted because of his deft balance of galactic scope with human-scale stories. And 30 years after its first publication, Consider Phlebas remains a novel grimily opposed to the shiny rocketships and derring-do of most space opera. ![]() ![]() Our first image of Iain M Banks’s Culture universe is a man drowning in sewage: a stark precedent for what was to come. Over three decades after they were first published, the Culture novels of Iain M Banks are more popular than ever Consider Phlebas ![]() Dead is the new black series5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() It's hard for her not to feel a little left out, so when she discovers that her mother and older sister are investigating a murder in the town, she decides to recruit her best friend Ryan to help.

She looks a little. ![]() She got the offer from Orange Is the New Black to play new inmate Yvonne Vee Parker on a Thursday. But she takes matters into her own hands when she learns the victim has lots of company - teenage girls are being attacked all over town, including at Nightshade High School, where Daisy is a junior.
