Bronte used her pseudonym Acton Bell when she first published the book in 1848. ![]() The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is a novel written by Anne Bronte.

![]() ![]() But female dandies in Heyer? Well, naturally, there is only one. Heyer’s interest in dandy culture continues through most of her Regency romances and Heyer readers tend to become adept at visualising perfectly starched cravats and perfectly fitted coats. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like Beau Brummell in this novel, Judith Taverner is permitted to become one of a kind – a woman who need not uniformly follow the rules that other women do, just as he has made himself a man who need not abide by the rules that other men must follow. Nor, sadly, will there be any more perfectly marvellous Beau Brummells, nor any more heroines who prove wonderfully apt pupils for the most important dandy of the Regency period. Never again will historical figures have extensive speaking roles in her novels, for example. She is experimenting as she creates what will become the ‘Regency romance’ and will indeed end up discarding some of the aspects as she develops it here. In Regency Buck we can see Heyer experimenting with a new form of romance, one that came to have a tremendous impact on popular publishing. The Regency period’s favourite fashion icon, Beau Brummell, serves as Judith’s mentor in these escapades.

In a way I too am a novice, leaving, temporarily, one life for another. It reminds me of the bell that calls to worship the novice embarking on a new life. From my room, which is just off the winding staircase, I can hear it clearly. In this case, the bell marks the opening of the hotel door.

It’s well thought out, intuitive to use, and indispensable to those who work with crystals. From that point it expands further into the needs of those categories and then the best stones for that purpose.

What is truly unique about the author’s approach is the crystal compass referenced in the title. Martin’s Press reached out to me about a new book regarding crystals that releases February 19th, “Crystals: A Guide to Using the Crystal Compass for Energy, Healing, and Reclaiming Your Power” by Aisha Amarfio.

When Chloe moves out of her family mansion and into an apartment building, she immediately clashes with Redford “Red” Morgan, the building’s superintendent, and an artist with some pretty heavy emotional baggage.

The explosive finale to the Extraordinaries trilogy by New York Times bestselling author TJ Klune! ![]() ![]() To be absolutely explicit: The plot doesn’t move. But there is nothing to be learned about Casey after the sixth page (Pages One through Six are titled, imaginatively, “An Introduction”), and what we have already learned is never vividly or convincingly described. ![]() Each voice narrates a piece of Buster Casey’s life, a Typhoid Mary who has caused rabies to percolate throughout the United States. ![]() Rant is compact of endlessly babbling voices. While trudging through its pages, the essence of boredom was revealed to me. Rant, however, is not merely stupid–it is also deadeningly, mind-numbingly tedious. As insipid as they are, at least Palahniuk’s other books are EZ-2-Read. RANT (“Chuck” Palahniuk) by Joseph SugliaĮven “Chuck” Palahniuk’s most devoted followers will have a hard time getting through Rant (2007), a book about thrill-seeking that is devoid of a single thrill.

Since we’ve known for 300 pages that Warner is fine, it’s really anticlimactic for Juliette to be like omg he’s alive!! Like yeah, we know. Every single line of it was so annoying, and nothing about them reuniting was unique. Like, Lifetime Movie Network called and they want their script back. ![]() The reunions sucked because the stakes felt so low and I never felt any adrenaline or excitement about their reunion. There’s really no way for me to jump into this other than chronologically, so here we go. The difference is, whereas all the other Shatter Me books’ good parts outweighs any bad that exists, this book had so many terrible scenes and lines of dialogue that were not be redeemed by the sparse action and melodramatic romance scenes. This review is going to sound really negative, but truthfully, I think this book has equal parts good and bad. I just was more prepared that it wasn't going to be what I was hoping. I didn't find myself as upset by this as I was the first time(s) I read it, but I don't think the book got any better. This book's two halves are competing to be the worst half: the first half is SO boring and over-explained with no plot points, and the second half is the characters calling themselves by new names with cliche and annoying dialogue. Definitely not 4 or 5 stars, but I don't know if I could go lower. ![]() |
