Pain Killer For Waxing

Cheaters, Volume 1: Rebels; Anna Godbersen

Presentation Editor:
Girls rebels in gorgeous dresses are partying until dawn. Boys irresistible smiles Machiavellian intentions were suspect. Lies, secrets and scandals. We are in Manhattan ... in 1899.


Me:
Just a few words on this reading, which surprised me. By dint of having read read various opinions on the canvas, and having seen the library, I told myself as well try!

What bothered me was compared to Gossip Girl on the cover: s

But
transported to the author's saga (in fact it is several volumes) at the end of the century XVX, New York, in wealthy families. In the middle of ball gowns, betrayals, plots, love affairs, but also scandals are waiting for you in high society.
I do not go on, and the characters just by saying they do not seem so smooth they were in the air, always something in mind to come to an end ...
I'll just say it's a novel that I devoured and I have the next volume: rumor.

No this is not literature per se, but from time to time, it's nice. More during this reading, everything was predictable before we arrive on-so we know / or is there a quick idea of what will happen.

I'm sorry if my article is not larger but see the article by Persephone
which is deeper, developed as mine:)

Kipling, in a sober and elegant, like someone said the magic and poetry of the country where he spent his childhood: impossible to resist the captivating charm of his stories. - Pascale Wester - This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

few words

The Jungle Book, we all know the version of Walt Disney, which differs version of this novel.

In the Jungle Book is not only the story of Mowgli and his friends. There are other short stories with their little moral: we find the story of a mongoose, that of an elephant, a donkey and horse, and also that of an era.

is the first time I read the writing of the author, and I fell in love. I could also find the poems that I had heard a lot about - we are always one or two short stories each. My only regret is not having to try to read it in English, probably next time:)

Every passion abolished, Vita Sackville-West

Presentation Editor:
"In a flash Lady Slane felt that the puzzle had just broken out of his memories to recover. She found herself on the terrace of the villa Indian deserted. It rested his arms on the parapet hot, slowly rotating her umbrella. In fact, it was well to conceal her trouble because she had to find themselves away from all this young man beside her. " The day of the death of her husband Henry Holland, Earl Slane, Slane lady decides to finally live his life. She is eighty-eight. Lady Slane surprised when his entourage, retiring in Hampstead. In her new home, all passion abolished by age and the choice of posting, Lady Slane feels free at last to remember and to dream.

Me:
abolished Every passion is a book that got more by his character Lady Slane, 88, widow, and who is going to surprise his children by his decisions. She made a good marriage but she will find means widow regain his freedom and finally his last years of life as she waits. She rebels. Remembers a house she saw in sale many years ago and wants to buy ... not to mention it puts its terms to this new life!
The book is divided into three parts: the first is enough narrative - but fun to read - and comes just after the announcement of the death of this gentleman, with the whole family together feeling "concerned" for their mother. But the tone is set by Lady Slane, and it was then that I loved her character.
The second part is more about life as Lady Slane conducted before and during his marriage. His passion she had put aside ...
The last returns to the present. With indignation of some of his children, but also men who delight in his company.


A little treat to read if you have not read.
