Jennifer saint elektra review5/30/2023 Let him come back so that I can watch him suffer. Let him come back and die at the hands of his bitterest enemy. “Let him come back so that I can see his eyes as the light drains from them. I do need a copy of The Dummy’s Guide to Greek Mythology – wait, is there a book like that? I’ve always been interested in Greek Mythology, even more so after a visit to Greece years ago, but I also realise that whatever I know, is probably the bare minimum – only the more well-known myths. Set in ancient Greece, this retelling is true to form and location. “Can’t you see that it just goes on, over and over? The gods demand their justice, but we suffer for it, every time.” But, can she escape the curse, or is her own destiny also bound by violence? The youngest daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, Elektra is horrified by the bloodletting of her kin. She is powerless in her knowledge that the city will fall. Princess of Troy, and cursed by Apollo to see the future but never to be believed when she speaks of it. Her husband raises a great army against them, and determines to win, whatever the cost. The sister of Helen, wife of Agamemnon – her hopes of averting the curse are dashed when her sister is taken to Troy by the feckless Paris. This is the story of three women, their fates inextricably tied to this curse, and the fickle nature of men and gods. A bloodline tainted by a generational cycle of violence and vengeance.

A cow chews for between six and eight hours a day, which produces some 42 gallons of saliva that buffer the acids produced in fermentation.Īnimals that have one stomach are known as monogastrics, and it would seem to make sense that milk produced by an animal that digests the way we do would be most suitable for us. The word “ruminant” comes from the Latin word ruminare, which means “to rechew.” Food is regurgitated, rechewed, and sent to the rumen, one of the animal’s stomachs, to be decomposed by fermentation before passing on to the other compartments. Some ruminants, such as cows and sheep, are grazers who munch on grass, and some, such as goats and deer, instead nibble on nutritious shrubs in the woods. Animals that have more than one stomach are known as ruminants. Donkey’s milk has far less fat than human milk, and goat’s milk has triple the amount of protein.Ĭows, sheep, goats, and buffalos have four stomachs camels and llamas have three. Throughout history it has often been argued that, after human milk, goat’s and donkey’s milks were most suitable for us because their compositions are closest to ours.

But she is determined to stay in her new home and add a feminine touch to it before kicking him out. Izzy inherits the duke’s castle, and he is NOT happy about it. These two have the best banter, and really know how to push one another’s buttons. As soon as she and the duke met, I knew I would be in for a very fun ride. I loved our bookish heroine, Izzy, who has lived her entire life in the shadow of her late father’s famous stories. This book is a very sweet, funny romance filled with sharp wit and awkward moments. What fairy tales are left over for an impoverished twenty-six year-old woman who’s never even been kissed? Now Izzy’s given up yearning for romance. Rescued from drudgery by charming prince? The storybooks offered endless possibilities.Īnd as she grew older, Izzy crossed them off. She never doubted romance would be in her future, too.

The witch of duva5/30/2023 It's a really, really disturbing story, because it's basically the mystery of some serial killer killing a bunch of girls. The Witch of Duva was a really disturbing story, even I was scared after I read it, my 47 year old father read it (he's read all the Stephen King books) and he was very disturbed. My ten year old sister somehow got her hands on this book, and she was up all night and terrified after reading The Witch of Duva. Skip, Skip, please just skip: The Witch of Duva, The Soldier Prince Clever, funny, wise, these are great stories. These stories are so beautiful, and made me smile at the book while reading. The Best Ones are: Ayama and the Thorn Wood, The Too Clever Fox, Little Knife, and When Fire Met Water. Leigh Bardugo's writing is beautiful as usual, the characters are absorbing and relatable, and the stories are amazing. The Language of Thorns is a gorgeous collection, retelling classic fairy tails like Hansel and Gretel, and The Little Mermaid.

Broken kingdom c hallman pdf5/30/2023 Once Aspen and Quinton got back into it, it gradually build and became good.Įxciting to see certain people and was more excited to see some people were extinct. It’s tying up loose ends and I don’t hav that many complaints.Īlthough Aspen had trauma that she endured, I thought the sex scenes after were still satisfactory. I really enjoyed the ending for them.īook 3 for me, I really did not have any major dislikes. The relationship between Quinton and Aspen grew, although it was still a tiny bit hot and old but only for a moment. It was interesting how Aspen’s past play out with her family and seeing Quinton’s family coming together to include her. Although what happen to Aspen in the end of book 2 was sad and bad, it was entertaining seeing Quinton go on a rampage.he went in hulk mode with his revenge. I like the way Aspen and Quinton’s story concluded.
