If you’ve seen the series, all I have to say is that this is the one with the imbroglio involving the Cow Creamer. It did have a slightly different resolution than is dramatized in the series, but mostly the series follows the book closely. It perhaps helped me follow the convoluted plot all the better. The Code of the Woosters is one that was used for the marvelous BBC series Jeeves and Wooster, starring Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry, so I was very familiar with the plot – but that didn’t diminish my enjoyment in the slightest. Wodehouse Jeeves and Wooster books, since there is nothing better for putting me in a good mood while riding in the car. The chase book by elle kennedy5/10/2023 It’s not that I hated it, but it was definitely the weakest of the series, and that’s rather unfortunate considering it was the finisher to the series. If anyone read my review of The Goal (Off-Campus #4), you’ll remember that I was less than thrilled about it. Even though it’s a new batch of main characters, the same chemistry and the same amount of angst, banter, sexual tension, and love scenes were all present in how the previous characters may have been so memorable for you like they were for me. The Briar-U spinoff series definitely feels like the former in that sense when I got to reading this title as soon as I was able to find a hard copy. The Off-Campus series is one of my absolute favorite romance series to date with Elle Kennedy’s ability to perfectly mix humor and steam into one heck of a juicy story, so imagine my excitement when I learn that there’s another series set to release that’s in the same world! If I like something enough, of course I’m like every other member of a fandom who begs and pleads and prays to the creator of whatever it is to PLEASE GIVE US MORE, and it’s insanely satisfying when they do, add some extra YAY in there when it’s not terrible and a total cash-grab.

The Piano Tuner by Daniel Mason5/10/2023 Thus begins his great journey of exploration and discovery bound to challenge and preconceptions he had about the world and the doings of the British Empire. After a bit of consideration, Drake decides to leave the safety of his life and comfort of his wife to sail towards an unknown destiny. One day a strange request comes through to him from the War Office: they want him to travel to Burma and service the piano of an army surgeon for three months in exchange for a full year’s worth of pay. The story opens in 1886 as we are presented with Edgar Drake, the titular tuner living a life as normal as can be. For his first published novel, titled The Piano Tuner, Daniel Mason decided to take us on something of a guided tour into one of those colonies: British Burma. Life in those colonies was certainly different from anything they had known either before or after, making them a curious microcosm to explore in our history. The British used to hold countless colonies over multiple continents, and as you might imagine, this led to a considerable amount of strife and opposition over the decades. Great Britain might be relegated to a relatively small piece of land these days, making it easy to forget it wasn’t so long ago they essentially had control over half the world through their empire. Daniel Mason’s Guided Tour of British Burma Brothers of the Knight by Debbie Allen5/10/2023 Nelson's pencil drawings were photocopied and then painted in oils, producing a fine line, minutely detailed characters and settings, and expressively lit coloration. The setting for Allen's fresh imagining is "a little village called Harlem." Her hip text is given spark and personality through the use of contemporary dialect: Sunday's cookies " were jump up and down, slap yo' own self in the face good!" The humor of the story is heightened by the artwork. Only when the ingenious housekeeper, Sunday, attempts to reveal the brothers' secret is Reverend Knight's own predilection for dancing disclosed and the family-along with the bewitching Sunday-reconciled. Believing that their father would not approve of their clandestine dancing at the Big Band Ballroom, the 12 boys refuse to confide in him. Kindergarten-Grade 4-A spin-off of the Grimm tale, "The Twelve Dancing Princesses," this is the story of Preacher Knight and his attempts to solve the mystery of the worn-out sneakers he finds in his sons' room each morning. Healthy joints for life by richard diana5/10/2023 Fighting inflammation without the risks of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories is of obvious benefit. Certainly, those with osteoarthritis can benefit, but as a coach I can see application of the concepts of the book to younger high school and collegiate athletes or even professionals who train aggressively and need to rebound quickly. It's a safe, scientific approach without side effects and unlike so many other programs it's good for your overall health.
