The Istanbul Review Sayı: 4 TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Boyut Yayın Grubu

The author notes from the beginning that she is making this book an adventure for the reader as well as the members of the Dykes Who Dare. You may mimic Kate with her patented “What the hell?” when you learn that the book is written backwards. Seriously. It starts with Chapter 10 and ends with Chapter 1. It is written in the same vein as the rest of the series, just is presented a tad bit differently. If you aren’t up for the challenge, and are in fact a “leaker”, the Forward Version is included as well. My friends ~ take the dare. Embrace the nature of the Lesbian Adventure Club: “to mess with and to be messed with.” Enjoy the story as intended: backwards. And to celebrate this cunning storytelling technique, I am jumping off the pier too. My review is written backwards. Starts with the end and ends with the start. Enjoy it. I “D Double D dare you” to! “Again, we concluded our meeting with beginnings. Something ended, but hope remained ignited nonetheless.” Any of the stories in this series can be read on their own but I highly recommend starting from the beginning. The development of each of the couples as well as the friendships among them all is quite a journey to follow, and without reading all the stories you will miss out on the subtle innuendos that are included throughout. How else will you know who the “big-boobed bimbo babe” is or why it is so wonderful to see Noelle and Denny on a date? The first five books in the series, in order, are Scavengers, Ledge Walkers, Savages, Loose Sleuths, and Sisters. Each installment in the series is as enjoyable as the previous and is always a wonderful adventure that marks not an ending, but the start of something new for the wonderful characters. Once again we are presented with an exceptionally fun adventure involving friends and lovers, making for a truly exceptional read. I cannot recommend this series more highly for anyone that enjoys thrilling adventure and captivating characters. After six books I feel like these characters are old friends that I can’t wait to visit with again. As always there is humor throughout this book, and that is of course not surprising if you are at all familiar with the other books of this series. The first adventure results in a “Smut Pumpkin”. There are ballcocks and nipples, elbows and eyes, a choice between “Whale of a Weenie” and “Greenie Weenie”, bags of body parts, a Dean Grim Reaper, and plenty of blood and guts. Plenty! Hell, there is balloon boob bursting throughout ~ what more do you really need?!? Personally, the haunted house turned out to be one of my absolute favorite of all the DWD adventures. Blood curdling screams and dismembered body parts always make me giggle. I love all of the characters in these stories but there is a special place in my heart for Kate and Claudia as well as Holly and Laura. Kate is our narrator, and we see these stories through her eyes, and her reporter sensibilities always put an interesting spin on things. I adore her quirks and her dedication to Claudia. That Kate’s life is defined by her love for Claudia is touching and always moving. These two have come a long way since the first book and I look forward to watching them celebrate their ten-year anniversary in the next book. Holly and Laura are always a force to be reckoned with, and the fact that they leave their bedroom at all is shocking! These women burn for one another, one cannot resist the other, and although it can be at times humorous it is also heartwarming to see two women who are so completely consumed by their partners. To separate these women would be a crime and I look forward to every scene they are in. Leakers Ignited is another exceptional addition to what has become a favored series. Each adventure is so unique, yet maintains the same themes throughout. We are given five couples made up of ten women who couldn’t possibly be more different. Yet they bond together as the closest of friends, and are there to help each other out at all times. Each couple exemplifies the definition of love, from Ginny and Kris who have been together for twenty-five years to Allison and Janice who have only a few months as a pair. “I thought of our group, of our friends who had afforded us this closeness in many ways. We held mirrors up for each other. When one struggled, we were grateful for what we had. When it was us slogging in the muck, we were reminded of what we could be, of what we owed each other and ourselves to be.” As is always the case when the women get together, the adventure parallels the relationships between all the couples. Some of them need help from their friends to move forward and others are just looking to reaffirm how much love they have for one another. By working together they will all end the adventure stronger than when they started, loyal to the end to what is most important, their friendships and love. Their first adventure involves a list of items and the women have to come up with the clue. What results is a jack-o-lantern carving escapade that only our beloved DWD could pull off. The following adventures are scavenger hunts, similar to the first adventure that Ginny and Kris hosted, but of course there is a twist. The women are given the items needed to help figure out the clue. Never an easy task! The evening culminates with the “Blood Curdle College of Spookology” ~ a haunted house ~ since it is October after all! The DWD are given a single hint by their illustrious hosts to make it through the spooky house, “’Remember that everything is backward. In order to find your strength to make it through, you need to identify your weakness.’” Ginny and Kris have decided to add an extra special spin on the night but making everything backwards. The women have all been ordered to wear reverse baseball caps embroidered with DWD, mustache-nose-eyebrow glasses on the back of their heads, and backwards bras with water balloons for boobs. They look positively ridiculous and that is only the beginning. With each adventure, succeeding will result in losing points and the lowest score at the end of the adventure wins. However, the final twist, is that the team with the highest score will be given the honor of ownership of the “big-boobed bimbo babe” for another month. Yup, the prize goes to the loser. Backwards, my friends, backwards. That’s right, you guessed it, another month has passed and all the women of the illustrious Lesbian Adventure Club have gathered for another adventure. This month the Dykes Who Dare find themselves back at the beginning, having gone full circle through each of the five couples. It is now October, and Ginny and Kris are hosting the wild group antics once again. Inevitably hilarity ensues when the matriarchs of the group take over, but by the end of the day the relationships between each couple will be stronger and the friendships between all the women will be even tighter.

Toplumsal Tarih Dergisi Cilt: 11 (61-66) TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Clearly based in scientific facts and lots of good humor, this will provide hours of fun for young readers curious about the secret lives of parasites. Slimy frogs, hairy dogs, tough sharks, even people have parasites living on their skin and inside their bodies. Davies uses a conversational style, paired with Layton’s funny, cartoon-like drawings, to introduce the reader to real scientific terms and ideas. Parasites’ adaptability to their environment is crucial for their survival. Did you know that a tapeworm inside a human intestine can grow to 60 feet long?! “They don’t need a mouth or a gut of their own, because they just float around in your digested food and soak it up through their skin.” Eeww!! But what 10 year old won’t love telling this at the dinner table? Davies writes in a funny and engaging way; she shares information in bite-sized pieces, perfect for reluctant readers who need to be drawn into a book. The writing style reminded me somewhat of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid style, in its informal approach – but this has much more content. Have fun – but be prepared for some disgusting dinner conversations!

Çantalı Öyküler: Çocukları Çok Seven Gıdak Tavuk - Aziz Sivaslıoğlu TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Hobi Yayınevi

This is a fantastical book about New York, but not really about New York, about a magical and crazy place that never and always existed with crazy people who move seamlessly in and out of different times. Really hard to explain and sounds really dumb when I try, but I swear, it's worth reading.

Korku - Stefan Zweig TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: İş Bankası Kültür Yayınları

*This review contains a bit of spoilers if you haven't read Archangel's Blood & Archangel's Kiss* Reenter Nalini Singh’s unique world filled with angels, vampires and guild hunters (vampire hunters). Elena is one of the top active guild hunters and from the beginning of her story to now, her life has taken a drastic turn that she could have never imagined. What do you expect from a woman who hunts vampires for a living, right? Elena now finds herself in love with Raphael, the archangel of New York and a newly turned angel herself, which was impossible, up until now. Elena tries hard to get her life on track while dealing with being a newly made angel, her relationship with Raphael and the new and unknown threat to the world. She defiantly has got her hands filled. The story brings a whole new twist on the phrase “guess who’s coming to town”. I really enjoyed Nalini’s writing an Archangel Consort is no different. With the guild hunter series Nalini breathed new life into angels and vampires that are strongly unique but actually works within the story. There’s a dark edge and power to the angels and vampires that intrigues me. I enjoyed the journey that Elena goes through and how things didn’t come easy for her. There was a lot of blood, sweat and tears that she went through in trying to solve this case. She didn’t just wake up and was this all powerful being now. She had to learn and grow and fight for what she wanted. Including her relationship with Raphael. There was a good balance of steamy sexy scenes and scenes where Raphael and Elena got to know each other better as well as their relationship as a couple. Showing their secrets and vulnerability to each other with the situations tossed at them. No instant happily ever after here, which I really appreciated. There are so many great characters within the book, mainly Raphael’s Seven (you’ll understand when you read it), with such interesting backgrounds themselves that I wanted to more about them. I wanted them to have more of a presence within the story then they already had which I don’t know if that is a bad or good thing? Possible branch off series? There was a lot of mystery and intrigue with finding out who the threat was and I love the added danger. Nalini really kept me guessing all the way to the end of the story with how the story would pay out. In reconciliation or bloodshed? And I have to say that the ending left possibilities that could be further explored while leaving me satisfied. Archangel Consort really kept me entertained from the beginning of the story all the way up to the end. The world that Nalini Singh created had all the danger, intrigue, mystery and romance to keep a reader entertained.

This was not my favorite of Jane Austen's. It took me a little to get into the book, but I did end up enjoying the story. It's much like all her others, a lot of misunderstandings, a budding romance, and a happy ending.

I've finally found a young adult book that was clever, funny, included romance, but was smart about it. There are obviously a lot of bizarre cliches, too many pop culture references at times, and what might be thought of as some gratingly seemingly racist character traits, but I didn't want to put this down. Leigh was an outstanding character -- anxious and caught up with worry, addicted to Dunkin' Donuts, too afraid of change and moving on, while still being smart and having independent thoughts.
