Meg, a mother of three, regularly updates her readership on her exploits with openness, honesty, and a generous serving of good humour. Numerous doctors and professors contribute to the blog, which gives readers the opportunity to learn about what happens behind the scenes and interact with those involved.īoobs, boots, and hair – BBH – are three things Meg Lewellyn says she will “always rock,” regardless of what MS throws her way. We’ve carefully selected 15 of the very best, all of which can be of huge value to those living with MS, as well as offering everyone an insight into the realities of daily life with the condition.īarts and The London is one of the UK’s most revered medical schools, and their Neuroimmunology Group runs an MS blog that gives a fascinating insight into the research and development taking place.

After years of pent-up frustration and unrequited love, I finally let down my guard, and that’s all it takes for us to combust.īut like all bad decisions, the morning after brings a reckoning, and I leave his hotel room swearing to never waste another moment of my time pining after him. If only he weren’t so handsome and smart, maybe I could resist the allure, but I’ve always been a little impulsive, and this man is my ultimate temptation. When his sister’s wedding brings us together, Michael suggests a truce for one night. He betrayed my trust years ago, and I’ve made it my mission in life to aggravate him until he admits he was wrong. He knows how to push my buttons, and I relish pushing all of his. ![]() I haven’t always hated my brother’s best friend, but Michael Oliver gets under my skin and brings out the worst in me. ![]() Two pink lines won’t change the bad blood between us. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Archenemies by Marissa Meyer![]() Each of them has their own unique ability, and it was so interesting to get to know them. One of the best parts of Archenemies is the cast of characters. If you love action-packed superhero books, I would definitely recommend this one. It is so easy to escape into Gatlon City. I also loved how believable the story is. There is so much action as both Nova and Adrian go undercover, and it made the book so hard to put down. The plot of this series is so complex, and I love how much secrecy is incorporated. This book picks up right where Renegades left off, and it follows Nova as she tries to get her uncle’s helmet back from the Renegades. The Renegades also have a strategy for overpowering the Anarchists, but both Nova and Adrian understand that it could mean the end of Gatlon City - and the world - as they know it. The Anarchists still have a secret weapon, one that Nova believes will protect her. In Renegades, Nova and Adrian (aka Insomnia and Sketch) fought the battle of their lives against the Anarchist known as the Detonator. The Renegades Trilogy continues, in this fiercely awaited second installment after the New York Times-bestselling Renegades by Marissa Meyer, author of the Lunar Chronicles. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you disagree with this, click on the post, and select "hide" to no longer see that post.

One reason for persisting with this queasy, gratuitous, extended prologue of a novel is to attempt to discover why anyone would compare it with the work of Shirley Jackson or the great Flannery O’Connor. Just in case the reader forgets the vast sea of time, the narrator frequently repeats ‘back then’ as she tells a story that for all its gross detail and snide asides quickly proves tiresome – and tired. So now aged, wised-up Eileen recalls the humdrum week that led to her setting off for further adventures. Half a century has passed since she grew up in X-ville, a New England town. The book is full of similar carefully-staged, unfunny gags.Įileen Dunlop is 24 – or rather she’s not. He’s a retired cop but nowadays he enjoys “lobbing snowballs at children from our front porch”. ![]() Life for the eponymous messed-up narrator of this contrived, out-to- shock debut has been reduced to sharing a neglected house with her bereaved father, a drunk who spends most of his waking hours in his underwear. ![]() ![]() Not to be outdone, Julia shows him that two can play at flirtation and promptly introduces him to her devoted, younger, titled Italian count.īut the homecoming celebrations quickly take a ghastly turn when one of the guests is found brutally murdered in the chapel, and a member of Lady Julia's own family confesses to the crime. Much to her surprise, the one man she had hoped to forget, the enigmatic and compelling Nicholas Brisbane, is among her father's houseguests.and he is not alone. Fresh from a six-month sojourn in Italy, Lady Julia returns home to Sussex to find her father's estate crowded with family and friends: but dark deeds are afoot at the deconsecrated abbey, and a murderer roams the ancient cloisters. ![]() |
