![]() ![]() It was a multi-campus megachurch where I found myself feeling increasingly out of place. I remember about six and-a-half years ago I was on a staff retreat with the church where I worked before we started Collective. That was enough for me to know how much we needed her. Outside of a few brief interactions on Twitter, my knowledge of Rachel came mostly from reading her work. Without a doubt, there are people who are still in church-and even still alive-because Rachel reminded them that they were not alone. She was a leader, a pioneer, a wife, a mother, a courageous fighter, and an advocate for so many people who often felt as though they had very few allies within the world of the American church. Rachel was a writer-she authored books, blog posts, and the occasional Op-Ed-but she was so much more than that. Rachel Held Evans passed away this past Saturday. ![]() ![]() ![]() He just knows resisting has never ended well. Dimitri has no idea how his family line became trapped in the genie bond. Controlled by a paranormal bond, he is forced to use his wits to fulfill unlimited deadly wishes made by multimillionaire Karl Walker. In Summoned (book one), twenty-three year old Dimitri has to do what he is told – literally. Forced to commit crimes that increase in severity, Dimitri struggles to find his place in a world where he doesn’t exist. Now he’s left at the mercy of rules he doesn’t understand and the sinister side of people he thought he knew. In Axiom (a prequel novella) Fifteen year old Dimitri’s life changes when his father is murdered, causing him to inherit a family curse. The series follows an unwilling criminal as he unravels the paranormal bond controlling his life. ![]() ![]() Stifled, book two of the Summoned Series by Rainy Kaye, is a dark twist on genie folklore. ![]() ![]() ![]() All thoughts are my own.Īn elderly British widow buys what turns out to be the Holy Grail from a second-hand shop, setting her off on an epic visit from an ancient knight who lures her with ancient relics in hope for winning the cup. NOTE: I received a review copy of Neil Gaiman’s Chivalry from Dark Horse Comics and Edelweiss+. With artwork that bounces back and forth between warm and comfy watercolors and pages that look like an intricately illustrated manuscript, every page of Chivalry is a work of art all in itself. While the original story is a sweet little tale about an elderly woman who finds the Holy Grail in a charity shop, Doran’s adaptation raises things to a whole new level. And Colleen Doran’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s short story, Chivalry, is a perfect example of this. ![]() Whether it’s a mind-blowing story or a collection of gorgeous artwork, there’s no feeling like reading a brilliant graphic novel. Some comics just blow you away the moment you start reading them. ![]() ![]() This is different to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game, which was first released in 1999. We’re only looking at the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG, the version of the game released to Western audiences in 2002. Rarest and most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh! cards Recently, there has even been massive announcements for online versions of the card game, too! Undoubtedly some Yu-Gi-Oh! cards are worth more than others - this list gathers together some of the rarest and most expensive Yu-Gi-Oh! cards you can find today. The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG is one of the most profitable card games around, generating almost $10 billion and counting since its inception. The latter’s success led to Konami launching real-life counterparts of the anime cards - and thus the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game was born. The first was a short-lived 27 episode Japan-only series, which mirrors the manga’s dark themes and multi-game focus, whereas the second was Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (known simply as Yu-Gi-Oh! outside Japan), a 224-episode spectacle primarily involving Yugi and friends using illustrated cards comprising numerous fictional monsters, spells and traps to compete in card games. ![]() The manga’s popularity saw the swift production of two anime series. ![]() Upon said puzzle’s completion, Yugi unlocks a dark spirit of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, who uses Yugi’s body as a host whilst competing in several wicked and nefarious games. ![]() In 1996 Japanese magazine Weekly Shonen Jump published Yu-Gi-Oh!, a manga series created by Kazuki Takahashi, introducing protagonist Yugi Mutou and his mysterious millennium puzzle to the world. ![]() ![]() And, just to put the icing on the cake, the radical freed slave organization, the Audubon Ballroom, is also on the scene - led by its most notorious killer, Jeremy X. ![]() Not only do they encounter one of the Republic of Haven's most capable agents - Victor Cachat - but they also discover that the Solarian League's military delegation seems up to its neck in skullduggery. When they arrive on Erewhon, however, Manticore's most capable agent and one of its princesses find themselves in a mess. In desperation, Queen Elizabeth tries to defuse the situation by sending a private mission to Erewhon led by Captain Zilwicki, accompanied by one of her nieces. Finally, the recent assassination of the Solarian League's most prominent voice of public conscience indicates the growing danger of political instability in the Solarian League - which is also close to Erewhon. Add to that the longstanding problem of a slave labor planet controlled by hostile Mesans in Erewhon's stellar back yard, a problem which High Ridge also ignores. The Star Kingdom's ally Erewhon is growing increasingly restive in the alliance because the new High Ridge regime ignores its needs. Space adventure in the New York Times Best-Selling Universe of Honor Harrington-First Time in Paperback!īeginning a new blockbuster series set in the "Honorverse"-the universe of Honor Harrington. The Star Kingdom of Manticore has Alienated an Ally It can't Afford to Lose. ![]() ![]() It required that Persephone should create life within the Underworld or otherwise just completely lose her freedom for good. All of his many favorite bets were assumed to be impossible, to say the least.Īfter having a chance encounter with Hades, Persephone discovered herself in close contact with the mighty God of the Dead. The God of the Dead, Hades was the one who built a big gambling empire in the mortal world. After relocating to New Athens, she was hoping a lot to lead over some unassuming life that would be best disguised as that of a corporeal journalist. The truth since the time of her childhood is that the flowers have shrunken at her touch. Persephone for Spring was the Goddess but only by title. She was good with the female voices but her voices for all male characters sounded the same. The audio narration of the book is done by Meg Sylvan. From the same series, you will love to experience her A Touch of Ruin as well. Apart from the subject book, A Touch of Malice from the same series is a very good book by the author. She is an exceptional author with many successful series to her name. ![]() This is a science fiction and fantasy novel which is authored by Scarlett St. ![]() A Touch of Darkness is the first book in Hades & Persephone novel series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Safe houses were closed and spies were recalled from abroad. ![]() Smiley has Karla’s photo on his wall, determined to chase him down in revenge. He is appointed as a caretaker chief of the British Secret Service, known as ‘the Circus’, the name derived from the address of that organisation’s secret headquarters, Cambridge Circle. He then goes on to tell what happened afterwards as Smiley set about dealing with the consequences of that mole’s betrayal. So, if you haven’t read Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy you may want to read it before reading The Honourable Schoolboy because le Carré reveals the identity of that ‘mole’ in the first paragraph. Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy ends as George Smiley unmasks the identity of the ‘mole’, recruited by Karla, his Russian counterpart, as a spy within the British Secret Service. It certainly isn’t a book to read when you’re tired – you need to read it with a clear mind and be prepared to let yourself get fully immersed in the story. The amount of detail is staggering and for a while I was rather confused about what was happening. To say this has a complicated plot is a huge understatement. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Fat Tuesday” is the first stand alone novel and was released in the year 2004. Susan has also won an Edgar Award for “Footer Davis Probably Is Crazy”. “Stormwitch” also won the Carl Brandon Society Kindred Award, and was nominated for an Andre Norton Award for Best Book. ![]() ![]() “Trigger” and “Stormwitch” were both named the Best Books for Young Adults by the American Library Association. Susan’s work is from the young adult fiction, children’s fiction, science fiction, and fantasy genres. More than anything, she hopes it lets them escape into a well-told story. She hopes her work makes people think, makes them talk. Author Susan Vaught began writing when she was eight years old, and tries to write a bit every day even though she is also a psychologist. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He also argues that race was not just a social construct, but an historical one - and one that increasingly became linked to slavery over the course of the colonial period. For Berlin, modes of production hold a central place in these transformations and emphasizes how the tobacco, rice and indigo, sugar, and cotton revolutions all marked a transition for various areas in the place of slavery in society. ![]() ![]() He elaborates two basic types of society: a slave society and a society with slaves, and demonstrates how different areas could move back and forth between the two at different times. Instead, Berlin charts slavery during the 17th and 18th centuries across multiple dimensions - spatially across four different geographic areas (New England, the Chesapeake, the Lower South/Carolinas, and the Mississippi Valley) and temporally across three generations (the charter generation, plantation generation, and revolutionary generation). Many Thousands Gone The First Two Centuries of Slavery in North America Ira Berlin Book details Book preview Table of contents Citations About This Book Today most Americans, black and white, identify slavery with cotton, the deep South, and the African-American church. He argues that historians have too long treated slavery as static, both spatially and temporally. Ira Berlin's synthesis of slavery during the colonial period answers his own call for a greater attention to the diversity of "slavery" in American history. ![]() |
