I loved how grief was described in waves, returning when least expected, creeping up at the worst possible moments. Bri is captivating and real, which is why the stakes were so high. Bayron has crafted a character that the reader can truly care about. Bri’s emotions are so palpable, they lift effortlessly off the page. I really struggle to read books about bereavement, but Bayron writes about grief in such a compelling way. As I stepped back into her world, the tone was potent, and I felt the weight of grief suffocating the protagonist. Bri’s journey was a thrill from start to finish, and there is just far too much to unpack in one review. Every chapter of This Wicked Fate topped the final moments of the previous book. One of the reasons I rated This Poison Heart so highly was because of the incredible ending. Every image was like a little painting in my mind. The descriptions of the flowers blooming and flowing as Bri commands, the intoxicating poisons, the rich greenery and the overgrown gardens. There is something so whimsical about the way Bayron writes. Reading the opening words of This Wicked Fate, was like a deep breath of fresh air. This Poison Heart was one of my favourite reads of last year, and I was over the moon when I received an arc of the sequel. 6/28/2023 0 Comments The retreat a novel sarah pearse'If The Sanatorium was all about the atmosphere, The Retreat is all about the tension.' ***** Readers enjoyed their stay at The Retreat : And when someone else drowns in a diving incident, Elin begins to suspect that the old stories about the island are true.īecause history seems to be repeating itself - and the guests might not make it home alive.

Thanks to my free online degree in "ENGRISH LITERRATURE" from the Mushimushimoto University of Toyko. I think I've gotten the hang of this writing stuff.

The young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again.

ThorneAnd this alchemy requires that the vision in y our head translates clearly to the page in a way that other people can access. The message or information causes a shift. When a reader is actively engaged with your writing, it becomes more than mere ink on paper or pixels on a screen. That you'll make an impact, touch hearts, open minds, and leave people changed on some level. It is always in the hope that your words will resonate with those who read them. This is true whether you're writing about fictional characters falling in love or about the real-life struggles of caring for a chronically ill child. Sharing our stories and truths, our wisdom and insights, our rawness and vulnerability-this is one of the ways that we show up and shine light in this world for ourselves and each other. At it's core, writing is about connection. 6/27/2023 0 Comments The mermaid chair book reviewThe Mermaid Chair spent 24 weeks on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list, reaching the #1 position, and spent 22 weeks on the New York Times trade paperback list.

Without spending a penny, the speaker confidently believes his/her orchestra plays music twice as good using instruments they already have. Yet he/she doesn't become overwhelmed with jealousy and resentment. The speaker mentions the possibility of professional orchestras sounding better with fancy, shiny instruments. So, they substitute a drum with one's belly, a horn with one's nose, and cymbals with one's hands. Instead of playing with actual musical instruments, the speaker and his/her assumed band-mates play music with their body parts. The speaker describes a situation during which imagination and creativity are used to manifest a lively orchestra.
