![]() ![]() At the time, I loved the book and found myself tucking it away for further, future readings. I first read Latakia years ago, soon after it was originally released. ![]() That will have to be enough, no matter how much both of them might want something else. ![]() There’s no hope for them on that front ,but at least out here, where danger surrounds them on all sides, Mope can keep Matt safe. But Mope is in the closet and Matt has a boyfriend back home. But more than that, Mope finds himself attracted to Matt. Travis, aka Mope, isn’t sure about using a civilian in a military operation, but rescuing Matt was fortuitous and if he agrees to help, he could make a huge impact on their mission in Syria.

Terrified and alone, Matt fears the worst, until a group of Navy SEALS find him and brings him to safety. What he doesn’t anticipate is being mistaken for someone else, kidnapped, and locked away to die. ![]() When Matt travels to Syria to volunteer for an immunization program alongside Doctors Without Borders, he’s ready for a little adventure. ![]()

(Brad Sells, Parnassus Books) She has created something special with Cora and Quinn's friendship, and even though so much sadness is found within these pages, there is ultimately hope as well. "Jasmine Warga delicately explores many versions of grief in this novel. “With taut pacing, nuanced characters, and compassionate depictions of grief and trauma, Warga’s novel is both timely and transcendent a must-purchase for all collections.” (School Library Journal, **Starred Review**) “Moving and beautifully written, The Shape of Thunder is an important book that will push readers to consider what they would do in an impossible situation, and how far they would be willing to go to change it.” (BookPage, **Starred Review**) “ The Shape of Thunder is a beautiful friendship story about the love that is possible even when the worst has already happened.” (Rebecca Stead, Newbery Medalist, author of When You Reach Me) BookShop ( Please support your local indie bookstore if you can!)Īmazon Add on goodreads! Educators’ Guide! Reviews/praise: ![]() ![]() I am sad to see that many of the unabridged versions are read by Brick because I really want to listen to them, but I'm not sure I can stomach any more of his nauseating accents and unnecessary inflections. ![]() The characters change and the narratives evolve and you grow attached to the story line. It is interesting how many parallels there are between the books, but it was meant to be the first of a long series of stories. I also am a major fan of LOTR, and I didn't notice how similar the stories were when I was younger. I loved the series and have been reading the books faithfully starting from when I was a young girl. I can't tell how many times I was forced to rewind and listen again because suddenly something of actual interest was happening, but I didn't know how we got there. I couldn't deal with it and often found myself ignoring the story altogether. My biggest annoyance was the constant overly dramatic/snotty inflections that Scott Brick would put into each sentance, each word. ![]() ![]() ![]() Let’s just hope the soundtracks remain intact, and that developer Vicarious Visions can recapture the magic that so many of us felt when we first pushed off all those years ago. Roll on the remastersĪ truly superb series, then, we’re eagerly awaiting Tony’s return in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 remastered this September. Tony Hawk's Underground (aka THUG), a really nice sports game sold in 2005 for Windows, is available and ready to be played again Time to play a skateboarding, tricks / stunts and licensed title video game title. This would be more exciting if they hadn’t already done this same thing back in 2012. ![]() Still, it deserves a mention in our best Tony Hawk games list, even if it does reside at the very bottom. A new Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater game is coming out this year and it is a remake of the first two games. It was a rather vapid experience in hindsight, and missed a lot of the spirit that make Tony Hawk games stand out. The feature required players to move the analog sticks in the correct way to land a gnarly trick, and the idea was expanded upon and improved in games like Skate.ĭespite being rebuilt from the ground up, Tony Hawk's Project 8 is largely forgotten about. Tony Hawk's Project 8 might not have been a commercial success, but it's 'Nail-the-trick' mechanic was an interesting idea. ![]() |
