![]() ![]() ![]() Like The Story of Saiunkoku, Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits is based on a light novel series targeted toward females that is not available in English (and also received an anime adaptation). ![]() But the series Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits most reminds me of is The Story of Saiunkoku. A devotion to cooking a la Kitchen Princess. Meeting different ayakashi like in Kamisama Kiss. After giving her lunch to a masked creature, Aoi is whisked away to a strange world - and the being she fed welcomes her as his bride?! Can Aoi avoid marrying a spirit? IOKA Waco (art) YUMA Midori (original story) Laruha (character design)Īoi, like her recently deceased grandfather, can see spirits, but she uses her cooking skills to placate them. かくりよの宿飯 あやかしお宿に嫁入りします。( Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi: Ayakashi Oyado ni Yomeiri Shimasu.) ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() “Some call me that,” she admitted, as she tried to take my hand. Instead, her smile was apologetic and teary - it evoked compassion rather than fear. Most women would be offended to be mistaken for the ghostly apparition, but she did not flinch at the horrific namesake. “Llorona?” I whispered the dreadful name before I could censor myself. The woman’s eyes softened and she looked sad. Recognition entered my mind, and I froze, unable to speak. It is my nightmare, my destiny, my fate to search endlessly for them by night only to find them drowned with the sigh of morning.” On the whole, she looked unkempt and malnourished, close to death. I could tell it used to be a white robe of some kind when it was new, but it was so old it was gray now. The woman’s hair was long and disheveled, and her long tunic dress was torn and frayed. “It is always the same way,” she said, her expression helpless in a worn, weary face. ![]() The Dragon Lord by Connie Mason5/10/2023 ![]() Indeed, before the hour was over, fiery Rose had subdued her true nature long enough to convince the Dragon it was her sister he'd wed-and had seen her mother and gentle sister on their way to the sanctuary of a nearby convent. Convincing the Dragon that Rose was the name of the sweet-tempered, biddable twin he was inclined to wed was accomplished in a matter of moments.įortunately the deception did not have to last long. But it was equally clear that their new lord had no wish to bind himself to a defiant maiden like Rose. Rose was certain that neither her grieving mother nor Starla, her twin sister who longed to become a nun, could bear to wed Lord Dragon. ![]() Lord Dragon, one of King John's fiercest knights, brought the news that Rose's father was dead and revealed that he had been commanded to marry the traitor's widow or daughter and claim the estate. In one horrifying hour, Rose of Ayrdale's life was shattered. ![]() Dead end in norvelt5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() As one obituary leads to another, Jack is launched on a strange adventure involving molten wax, Eleanor Roosevelt, twisted promises, a homemade airplane, Girl Scout cookies, a man on a trike, a dancing plague, voices from the past, Hells Angels. But plenty of excitement (and shocks) are coming Jack's way once his mom loans him out to help a fiesty old neighbor with a most unusual chore-typewriting obituaries filled with stories about the people who founded his utopian town. Melding the entirely true and the wildly fictional, Dead End in Norvelt is a novel about an incredible two months for a kid named Jack Gantos, whose plans for vacation excitement are shot down when he is "grounded for life" by his feuding parents, and whose nose spews bad blood at every little shock he gets. ![]() Dead End in Norvelt is the winner of the 2012 Newbery Medal for the year's best contribution to children's literature and the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction! ![]() Blackfish City by Sam J. Miller5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Not to mention an orca and a polar bear!” -Ann Leckie, New York Times bestselling author and winner of the Hugo, Nebula, and Clarke Awards After the climate wars, a floating city is constructed in the Arctic Circle, a remarkable feat of mechanical and social engineering, complete with geothermal heating and sustainable energy. Plus, it has lots of action and a great cast of characters. Blackfish City simmers with menace and heartache, suspense and wonder. ![]() “Miller gives us an incisive and beautifully written story of love, revenge, and the power (and failure) of family in a scarily plausible future. ![]() Prelude by Ashley McConnell5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Like a lot of twentieth century TV tie-ins (and here I am definitely looking at Star Trek), Prelude is decently written, but ultimately seems unclear of what it wants to be. Though it covers a period of several years (because getting funding for projects takes time), Prelude seemingly takes us right up to the very beginning of the show, ending with Sam making his first leap. Highlights include the creation of the artificial intelligence Ziggy, a violent run-in with the terribly-named Nonluddites, and Sam’s dabbling in questionable ethics. Prelude is, as the name suggests, a prequel to the TV show, taking us through the events of the early nineties that sees Sam Beckett establishing the Quantum Leap project, along with his developing friendship with Al. Maybe you’re right, but I’m the man who bought eight Halo novels before playing any of the games. Now, you might think it odd that I’d read a tie-in of a show I’ve never seen. Either way, I like the idea of hopping back into the past and facing misadventures along the way, so I was happy to see this tie-in novel pop up over Christmas. Well, it’s partly due to time constraints. Quantum Leap is one of those classic science fiction shows that I haven’t had time to watch yet, even though I’d quite like to. But his latest project is drawing the wrong kind of attention, and Sam’s enemies are drawing near. ![]() Dr Sam Beckett is a genius in his field, and now turns his attention towards highly theoretical research. ![]() And After by Sarah Lyons Fleming5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() And to do that, Cassie has to find faith that she’s stronger than she thinks, she’s still a crack shot and true love never dies. Survival’s great and all, especially when you have leather armor, good friends and home-brewed beer, but there’s something Cassie must do besides survive: tell Adrian she still loves him. This, coupled with Adrian’s distant voice on Safe Zone Radio and, of course, the living dead, threaten to put Cassie right back into the funk she just dragged herself out of.

And it’s a lot farther than she’d anticipated. And After (Until the End of the World, Book 2) - Kindle edition by Fleming, Sarah Lyons. When the two attract a threat as deadly as the undead to their safe haven, Cassie’s forced to see how far she’ll go to protect those she loves. ![]() Rectifying her mistakes has to wait, however, because Cassie and her friends have just enough time to escape Brooklyn for her parents’ cabin before Bornavirus LX turns them into zombies, too.This is difficult enough, but Cassie’s tag along ex-boyfriend and her friend’s bratty sister have a knack for making everything, even the apocalypse, more unpleasant. ![]() After all, she’s been on a self-imposed losing streak since her survivalist parents died: she’s stopped painting, broken off her engagement to Adrian and dated a real jerk. ![]() Cassie Forrest isn't surprised to learn that the day she’s decided to get her life together is also the day the world ends. ![]() ![]() ![]() Clary researches the rings in a Shadowhunter library and sees Jace enter and speak to Sebastian, her evil half-demonic brother. In return, they agree to deliver two Faerie rings that allow for telepathic communication between the wearers. Clary and friends go to the Seelie Queen to ask for help. Clary tells Simon that Jace is missing, and there’s no way to trace him. He tries to return home, but his religious mother has barricaded the house with various symbols so he can’t enter. The novel opens with Clary’s best friend, Simon, who was once a normal human but is now a “Daylighter” vampire who does not need to fear the sun. Cassandra Clare made a name for herself with Harry Potter fanfiction before turning to traditional publication with the Mortal Instruments series and a prequel series, Infernal Devices. She must either find a way to save him or lose him forever. If Clary tries to destroy Sebastian, she will kill Jace as well. In this installment, Clary discovers Lilith, a demon, has magically bound her boyfriend Jace with her evil brother Sebastian. The series centers around a young girl named Clary Fray, who discovers she is a half-nephilim, or angel, and joins forces with a group of nephilim called Shadowhunters who fight evil. It is the fifth book in her Mortal Instruments series, which began with 2007’s City of Bones. ![]() City of Lost Souls is a 2012 YA fantasy novel by Cassandra Clare. ![]() Splendid by Julia Quinn5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() Although all of them have plans for her to get married, she has plans for that shipping company back in the States. What is the plot of this story? Emma Dunster is the only child (a daughter! alas!) of a wealthy American shipping magnate, and she’s visiting her mother’s family in London. There is, in fact, very little about it that is not ridiculous, and this, frankly, is the reason I own every single Julia Quinn novel published. Once upon a time I read that Julia Quinn wrote her first book, Splendid, to be a romp. Overall: If I were to write a first romance novel, I would hope it approaches this level of entertainment ![]() Plot: misunderstandings, compromises, kidnappings, OH MY!
