![]() ![]() "Overall 'The Time Saving Agency' is a fun read which sees the Quantum Series taken on an unexpected journey of time travel while also continuing the journey of the characters seen in the previous book in the series ('Black Sunrise'). Someone somewhere was tinkering with the works, and it was up to Time Agent Scrooby - with a little help - to go back and fix it, or who knew what might happen next! Something smelled funny in the Anals of History! Things were not as they were supposed to be. Yesterday Napoleon managed to dig a tunnel across the English Channel, invaded London – and everybody at the Agency ended up speaking French for a while. If they didn't, then things would be completely different - which was why, a week ago, the American War of Independence was fought in Mexico. Things happened at a certain time in a certain way, which in a sense, is what Life was all about. ![]() Once, he'd screwed up in only a small way, and people wore those little yellow smiley faces on t-shirts for decades afterwards. ![]() His job at the Time Saving Agency was a tough one - gazillions of lives depended on him not screwing up. ![]() The pay was good enough, but as Johnathan Scrooby decided long ago - even if he didn't get paid for it, the thrill alone was payment enough! Then again, the TSA realized they couldn't afford to have disgruntled employees with the power of God at their fingertips, so the pay was very, very good indeed! After all, time travel wasn't for the faint of heart. The Time Saving Agency liked having fresh agents on the job, who had a clear mind and steady hand. ![]()

In Orwell’s non-fiction, meanwhile, we can trace the evolution of a political philosophy in which social justice goes hand in hand with freedom of speech and a deep respect for the individual. ![]() In his first four novels, we see the recurring story of an unhappy individual who rebels against a stifling social orthodoxy – imperialism, religion, capitalism, suburbia – and winds up thoroughly defeated, albeit less violently than Winston Smith. Nineteen Eighty-Four, in particular, was a culmination of ideas he had been turning over in his mind throughout his working life. Orwell’s earlier work, however, is essential to understanding those books. In fact, most of his books and journalism would likely have fallen out of print if not for his two deathless late masterpieces about the psychology and practice of totalitarianism. ![]() ![]() Prior to the publication of Animal Farm in 1945, Orwell had published four novels and three works of non-fiction, but only The Road to Wigan Pier had sold in significant numbers and none had furnished him with enough royalties to survive as a full-time author. George Orwell’s career is unusual in that most people start at the end and work backwards. ![]() ![]() ![]() Without his suits and fancy cars, he’s almost human.Įxcept only a fool would let down her guard.

(You won’t believe the skeletons’ blazing red eyes staring at you from the page.) and written several books between gigs offering epic arena rock riffs, just released the tome “Diableries: Stereoscopic Adventures in Hell.” It shows nearly 200 Victorian 3-D images depicting macabre scenes of skeletons, Satan and satirical snapshots of life in eternal damnation.Īnd it comes with a foldable stereoscope to allow readers to see the wild images May has collected in 3-D. No one knows that better than Brian May - yes, that Brian May, the founding member of Queen and all-around guitar god. Long before 3-D was forced into every movie from “Avatar” to “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs,” Victorian-era households had their own creepy 3-D fun.

But Heated Rivalry, and especially Ilya and Shane, needed and deserved a sequel, and I couldn’t wait for it. I find it unnecessary in most cases and it makes me dread the potential for a dramatic break-up that seems to be so common with books about an established couple. I have to say that I usually don’t love the idea of a direct sequel to a romance book. I really think this series is the best use of this trope in a contemporary context I’ve read so far. ![]() Rereading that book immediately reminded me of all the reasons I liked it in the first place, and why I love the enemies (or in this case rivals) to lovers trope so much. Ilya and Shane’s story stayed with me for a full year since first reading their book, and I reserved a reread of Heated Rivalry for the moment before I’d (hopefully) get to read their well-deserved sequel. DO YOU ALL KNOW HOW LONG IT’S BEEN SINCE A CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE MADE ME CRY!!

It’s the next in a long line of fiction dealing with the ongoing climate crisis and what might happen to the world after humanity meets the consequences of its actions. M R Carey’s The Book Of Koli is the first in a new trilogy. When he steals an old Sony music player, he sets off a chain of events that sees him forced out into a world where trees hunt, people allegedly eat people, and cult leaders capitalise on a frightened, isolated population. Long after climate breakdown has ravaged the world and humanity has retreated into small communities, a teenager named Koli dreams of becoming a wielder of the old technology and defender of his village. ![]() ![]() ![]() Personal benefit includes, but is not limited to: financial gain from sales or referral links, traffic to your own website/blog/channel, karma farming, critiques or feedback of your work from the community, etc. Interactions should not primarily be for personal benefit.
