Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children’s UK ![]() The chase elle kennedy characters5/13/2023 ![]() I have several subgenres and tropes that I am all about, and sports romance is definitely a huge one for me – especially if its Hockey or MMA. Also, in this review, I am not going to bore you with my rendition of the synopsis for The Chase, because Elle Kennedy nailed that one! But I will tell you why The Chase is such an incredible story. I have read awesome books that don’t have a blurb that sells me on the book, and books that have incredible blurbs and the book stinks. When I added The Chase to my TBR, she hadn’t even released the synopsis, but in my world as an avid reader and a blogger, that’s trivial at times. ![]() ![]() Now she’s got a superfan, cause I one-click everything she writes even if I can’t read it right away. And can I just say that while I love everything she writes, her Briar Hockey boys have owned me since the release of The Deal in February 2015… and all cards on the table, that was my first Elle Kennedy book. ![]() I mean, I freaking LOVE her writing anyway so I was totally not going to miss out whether I got an Early Release Copy or not. Elle Kennedy is endlessly talented, and when I saw that she was going back to Briar University with a new sports romance series, I jumped ALL OVER the chance to read and review it for my blog. ![]() The Pout-Pout Fish by Deborah Diesen5/13/2023 ![]() Links: Tips for using The Pout-Pout Fish in the classroom.Ī Pout-Pout Fish bib can be purchased at.

The Pout-Pout Fish Series by Deborah Diesen The Pout-Pout Fish Series 29 primary works 30 total works Mr. I really enjoyed the clever work of both Deborah Diesen and Dan Hanna – mood-enhancing for even the most sulky pre-schooler. The brightly colored illustrations are great for keeping story-time attention, as is the skillful and witty rhyme. Well … you’ll have to read it to find out if it’s possible to turn a frown upside down. Many of his ocean friends question his demeanor, to which he always responds with the same clever rhyme, explaining that it’s just the way he is and that he is destined to always have the “ dreary wearies”. The Pout-Pout fish is a very ‘glum’ fellow with a well illustrated pout. ![]() Publisher: Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR) (March 18, 2008) ![]() The Pout-Pout Fish (A New York Times Best Seller)īy Deborah Diesen (Author), Dan Hanna (Illustrator) ![]() Ringworld pak protector5/13/2023 ![]() ![]() Four out of five stars, and a must read for Ringworld fans. ![]() Larry has said Pak protectors (see Nivens novel Protector) built the Ringworld, in fact theres a brief account of events leading up to its construction on pp. And Niven fans are still debating points after all these decades. I would have liked it if most parts were fleshed out a bit more, but I know that some of the philosophy behind the Pak Protectors and humankind comes back in the Ringworld books. Yes, Ringworld does leave very many questions unanswered. The Protector has something to do with that, and all will come to a climax to protect the human race.Įven though the book felt rushed, it was very enjoyable. The second part of the book takes place a few hundred years later when humans are kidnapped every now and again, disappear for four month and then return with amnesia. This is a protector, who has travelled 32000 years to find the colony of Pak aliens who were stranded near Sol 2,5 million years ago.
