Infernal devices book 25/29/2023 ![]() And she is truly believing that her father was a demon, which could completely be true and really intrigues me. ➽ Tessa Gray – Poor Tessa got so many big puzzle pieces about her life handed to her in this book. Okay, my review is going to touch on a couple key things that happened in this book and things that have happened in previous books, so please use caution reading the rest of this review if you have not read this book and its predecessors! And as always, I’m going to do a little mini character breakdown on my thoughts and feelings on all the main characters in this book. Yet, this book is also about Tessa trying to carve out a place for herself in a world that is unfamiliar to her in so many ways, while also trying to learn about her true past and who she wants to be in the future. ![]() ![]() This is the second installment in this history prequel series that stars a young girl named Tessa, who has traveled to London from America, who was trying to find her brother in Clockwork Angel! Well, she found him, and this book is dealing with the ramifications of what she found out. This is easily my favorite Cassie Clare book yet, and I truly had such a wonderful time reading. Like, I almost want to give this book five stars because I enjoyed the last 25% so damn much. ![]() ![]() Your life is not yours to throw away.”įriends, this is the highest four star rating.

![]() ![]() The Dionne Quintuplets became a more popular attraction than Niagara Falls, ogled through one-way screens by sightseers as they splashed in their wading pool at the center of a tourist hotspot known as Quintland. In an effort to protect them from hucksters and showmen, the Ontario government took custody of the five identical babies, sequestering them in a private, custom-built hospital across the road from their family-and then, in a stunning act of hypocrisy, proceeded to exploit them for the next nine years. Overnight, Yvonne, Annette, Cécile, Émilie, and Marie Dionne mesmerized the globe, defying medical history with every breath they took. When the Dionne Quintuplets were born on May 28, 1934, weighing a grand total of just over 13 pounds, no one expected them to live so much as an hour. ![]() In this riveting, beyond-belief true story from the author of The Borden Murders, meet the five children who captivated the entire world. ![]()

Woman World by Aminder Dhaliwal5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() There are newcomers who fall for village stalwarts, and people who don’t have many romantic inclinations at all. There’s the couple having relationship problems and confiding in others, and the others who may or may not have romantic interests in them. Much of Woman World focuses on the day-to-day problems that arise when one attempts to reorganize society entirely, but perhaps more compelling are the love stories that weave in between Dhaliwal’s major players. ![]() ![]() A child finds a DVD of Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and develops a harmless obsession, believing the Kevin James character to be a representative sample of the creature that was Man. Now, stores and shopping malls remain like ancient ruins, collapsed with capitalism, and women in cities develop new ways to reproduce in an all-female society. For decades, all babies born have grown up to be female-identifying, including the oldest woman in the book’s cast: a grandmother who was assigned male at birth, and who happens to be the only person alive who remembers when there were men. The premise here is simple: Woman has inherited the earth. Full of lively characters and a philosophy of inclusivity, Woman World is an utter delight to read. The latest in a long line of Instagram-serialized comics that have been turned into books, Woman World by Aminder Dhaliwal makes a worthy addition to the 21st century graphic novel canon. ![]()
