![]() ![]() ![]() Luna would do best as an only dog, not because she has any issue with other dogs, but because she came from a home where she had to share her life with lots of other dogs and she would really like to retire and be someone’s best girl. Luna when she first arrived at TDL (she looks so much better now) She has 2 more classes at Petco and then she will get her first obedience certificate (Yey Luna!!!). She may give a woof if she sees something very strange but the average things of life (cars, mailman etc) don’t really phase her. She is house broken, crate trained, good on a leash, very polite (no jumping up from this girl) and is not an “over-barker”. ![]() Luna practicing her “sit!” at her Petco classes She will continue to test light positive for heartworm for a while longer, but that should fade soon. She was also heartworm positive but has already undergone treatment and from here she has a few antibiotics and her regular preventatives (no other special measures). Luckily with a little TLC her fur is back and she has put on a few pounds. She lived with many other animals, was underweight, and had lost fur due to a flea allergy. Luna comes to us from a hoarding situation. ![]() She joined TDL in April but has been recovering with TDL Volunteer Rachel until she was ready for adoption. Luna Belle is about 6 years old and is an Aussie mix out of Alabama. ![]() ![]() ![]() Margot was an awesome person and a good friend, not to mention a great chef. "Good," I said, feeling a wash of relief. Delia expects she'll make a full recovery." ![]() She hasn't yet regained consciousness - which isn't unusual for a wound of this magnitude - but she's healing very well. "Have you heard anything about Margot?" I asked Ethan. ![]() Frowning, Michael excused himself from the room and began chatting with the caller. I'd hoped they'd help us identify the vampire killer, but I'm not sure they'll actually lead anywhere."Įthan walked in just as Michael's phone rang. Michael sat down in one of the chairs in the sitting area and waved me over. We're working on cameras right now, making sure we can fill the necessary gaps while still giving the vampires their privacy." There was too much violence in the air for even an old Scotch to touch, but that didn't make the sensation any less pleasurable. I sipped it, letting the fire burn down my throat, savoring the warmth. I wasn't much of a Scotch fan, but tonight I wasn't going to argue. ![]() "I knew I liked you." He opened one of Ethan's decanters and poured Scotch into two glasses, then handed one to me. "He just popped into Helen's office they're making arrangements for Margot. Michael Donovan stood in front of the bar. I rolled up the map and walked back toward Ethan's office no point in delaying bad news any longer than necessary. ![]() ![]() ![]() Days and sometimes years pass between each strip, and just about all of the "action" of the book takes place in those off-panel gaps what we actually see on the pages of Wilson is, well, Wilson, in conversation. Clowes structures the book as a series of 70 one-page gag strips with titles like "Bad News," "Long Distance" and "Cheap Motel," each one opening a discrete window into the life of his eponymous main character. That's certainly true of Wilson, Clowes' latest book-length comic (he famously hates the term "graphic novel") in which he plays with narrative as only a cartoonist could. In this way, Clowes' work vindicates our unlovely thoughts, our blackest moods in his characters we see ourselves as we don't wish to be seen. ![]() The very fact that Enid is dissatisfied with her lot in life just means she's paying attention, Ghost World asserts. If she comes off as selfish, irritable and generally unpleasant (which is to say, as a teenager) Clowes is careful to show us that there's something sincere, even noble, behind her withering appraisals. Take Ghost World's resident teen cynic, Enid Coleslaw, and the reflexive scorn she feels for the world around her. His odes to contemporary loneliness and disaffection - Ghost World, David Boring and Ice Haven, which were serialized in Clowes' comic series Eightball before they were collected - offer a perverse kind of comfort to the reader. For the sake of good comics, we must hope that Daniel Clowes never cheers up. ![]() ![]() ![]() The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince-the friend-who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind. ![]() ![]() Mare Barrow’s blood is red-the color of common folk-but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control. ![]() If there’s one thing Mare Barrow knows, it’s that she’s different. In the epic conclusion to Victoria Aveyard’s stunning series, Mare must embrace her fate and summon all her power… for all will be tested, but not all will survive. Will victory be enough to topple the Silver kingdoms? Or will the little lightning girl be forever silenced? War is coming, and all Mare has fought for hangs in the balance. But Maven is driven by an obsession so deep, he will stop at nothing to have Mare as his own again, even if it means demolishing everything-and everyone-in his path. Cal’s powerful Silver allies, alongside Mare and the Scarlet Guard, prove a formidable force. Now determined to protect her heart-and secure freedom for Reds and newbloods like her-Mare resolves to overthrow the kingdom of Norta once and for all… starting with the crown on Maven’s head.īut no battle is won alone, and before the Reds may rise as one, Mare must side with the boy who broke her heart in order to defeat the boy who almost broke her. Mare Barrow learned this all too well when Cal’s betrayal nearly destroyed her. ![]() ![]() ![]() Today I felt like reading something old, so I dug out Doris Miles Disney's THE DAY MISS BESSIE LEWIS DISAPPEARED. ![]() I'm going back and forth between new releases and oldies. I'm sure I haven't read all those, so the hunt is on! Looking up her bio, I learned that Doris Miles Disney wrote 47 novels. It was going on my keeper shelf anyway, but now I have two reasons for keeping it! It's a William Morris print, only ours was in brown tones while the cover has some blue in the pattern. ![]() In fact, it was exactly the same wallpaper we had in our living room when we lived in England some years back. I don't pay a lot of attention to book covers while I am reading a books, so it wasn't until I finished it that I noticed the background of the cover was familiar. One interesting note (interesting to me, in any case) was in the cover of the paperback version I read. Even though I had been forewarned by their recommendations that something special was coming, my initial guess was way off the mark. I'll add my thumbs up to Brian and Kate's recommendation of WHO RIDES A TIGER? It really kept me guessing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Still, Nick offers Benji shelter among his ragtag group of queer teens, as long as Benji can control the monster and use its power to defend the ALC. The ALC?s leader, Nick, is gorgeous, autistic, and a deadly shot, and he knows Benji?s darkest secret: the cult?s bioweapon is mutating him into a monster deadly enough to wipe humanity from the earth once and for all. But when cornered by monsters born from the destruction, Benji is rescued by a group of teens from the local Acheson LGBTQ+ Center, affectionately known as the ALC. Desperately, he searches for a place where the cult can?t get their hands on him, or more importantly, on the bioweapon they infected him with. ![]() His kingdom is near.Sixteen-year-old trans boy Benji is on the run from the cult that raised him?the fundamentalist sect that unleashed Armageddon and decimated the world?s population. ![]() ![]() To go as quickly as possible Davenport brings in two of his best investigators, Bob and Rae.

I still prefer the Davenport books but Flowers is pulling up fast.ĭavenport is now a U S Marshall and in this book is called to Washington, DC by a politician he knows. I point out it is a Lucas Davenport story to distinguish it from the other series he writes which contains stories about Virgil Flowers. His latest is MASKED PREY and it is a Lucas Davenport story. John Sandford is alive and well and is still producing new novels. ![]() If you need a cause for celebration in this age of Coronavirus let it be this. ![]() ![]() Chickification involves a genuine Action Girl who was Badass at one point, but was derailed into a weak and helpless (or at least significantly less Badass) character, without any In-Universe justification for such a change. ![]() The latter is just about a so-called Action Girl who never lives up to her reputation once the plot hits the fan, but more often than not she still goes out to fight. Where are you going to get your Designated Victim for the team to save every episode? What's an executive to do? Completely replace her tough image and capabilities with something more fitting to the Distressed Damsel you need, someone who tends to Stay in the Kitchen or not do anything rather than go out and fight, whether by punching people alongside the others or analyzing the scenario and figuring out a solution so she can help others punch people.Ĭhickification differs from Faux Action Girl. ![]() There's only one problem: she's also the only female in the main cast, and you don't have a Non-Action Guy or other similar balancing factor to counterbalance this. ![]() ![]() ![]() And soon she finds herself helpless and alone, cut off from the rest of the world.and trapped in a fight for her life.
