It’s everything you’ve always loved about Terry McMillan. ( From the publisher. Georgia’s bravery reminds us that it’s never too late to become the person you want to be, and that taking chances, with your life and your heart, are always worthwhile.īig-hearted, genuine, and very universal, I Almost Forgot About You shows what can happen when you face your fears, take a chance, and open yourself up to life, love, and the possibility of a new direction. When she decides to make some major changes in her life, including quitting her job as an optometrist and moving house, she finds herself on a wild journey that may or may not include a second chance at love. I Almost Forgot About You NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The bestselling author of How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Waiting To Exhale is back with the. Georgia Young's wonderful life-great friends, family, and successful career-aren't enough to keep her from feeling stuck and restless. The inspiring story of a woman who shakes things up in her life to find greater meaning. One of the small details i like is the structure of the novel, in that the flashbacks give us a taste of boarding school drama with all the intelligent, competitive kids while also giving insights to present events. it's indeed a thrilling sci-fi read that will keep you reading! i was deeply immersed into the story and i was very invested in the plot. the atmosphere in the novel was great and i think the setting was developed nicely. this is a testament to the author's skills, as it is difficult to build believable characters who are incredibly smart and yet flawed in their own unique ways. i also really like how the characters are all smart and perfect in their own ways, yet still flawed- showing that they are still human, which adds to the story's verisimilitude. what i really like about our main character is her motivation and her ability to think outside of the box. the novel is peopled with diverse characters with decent characterization. it really is like the game Among Us though i've only played it once because i never got the hang of it. the plot keeps moving forward and you can't help but be curious about the next chapter. This is an amazing sci-fi thriller that will definitely keep you up all night reading. What a fun and exciting debut novel! i can't wait for everybody to get their hands on this He is self-absorbed, obsessive and makes it clear he finds men more captivating than his new wife, feeling no passion towards her or in any way fatherly towards her sons. Dick is not a character you immediately fall in love with. It's an edgy, sometimes uncomfortable and yet mesmerising book to read. Dick's experience of course is mind-blowing, but his 'trips' prove highly addictive and he finds himself increasingly repelled from his wife and the modern world and drawn back to the past, where what begins as over-identification with the characters involved turns into a deep love, not least towards Roger of Kilmarth himself. Trying to delay their arrival as long as possible, he tests out his friend Professor Magnus' untried and clearly very unsafe new drug that transports him back to the tumultuous life of Roger of Kilmarth and those who shared this beautiful part of Cornwall 600 years before. Dick Young is on holiday in Cornwall and awaiting the arrival of his American wife and her sons. This captivating story by Daphne du Maurier is truly a one off. Perfect narration of this mesmerising story So it comes as no surprise that she begins her introduction to “How Long ’til Black Future Month?,” a collection of her short fiction, by explaining that once she didn’t think she could write short stories at all. Jemisin’s fiction, a gift best savored in her two series, the Inheritance trilogy and the Broken Earth trilogy. A story can allude, hint, call upon the reader’s memory of other works, but it can only ever be a small window into what may or may not be the vast canvas in its author’s mind. This - no way around it - takes up a lot of pages that a short story doesn’t have. The short story, however, often seems at odds with one of the great allurements of both science fiction and fantasy: world-building, the power of a written narrative to immerse its readers in imaginary realms, histories and cultures. Today, when most prizes for literary fiction are limited to book-length works, the major science fiction awards - the Hugos and the Nebulas - include short fiction categories. Science fiction has a long history of honoring the short story form, dating back to when pulp magazines like Amazing Stories and Astounding Science Fiction were effectively the only way to publish in the genre.

“For I fear you are wrong, my lovely Selene. “Is it treason to gainsay a princess?” she asked. “There! You are free now, my love!”Īdrien smiled and took her princess in her arms once more. “But I have not yet freed you!” So saying, she took the key that Ned had given her and unlocked the chains that still bound Adrien’s hands. Adrien’s breathing quickened, and her chest heaved as Selene broke the kiss at last. Selene’s mouth was hot and spicy, and her darting tongue teased at Adrien’s lips with a promise of yet sweeter pleasure to come. Her breasts tingled where they pressed against Selene’s, and there was a throbbing between her legs she’d never known before. They kissed, and Adrien felt as though her body were on fire.
