On the Edge of Love by Shay Rucker5/26/2023 That was the only thing it deserved after displaying such extreme patience and restraint. He promised his dick here and now, once he got her to her apartment, it would only be worshipped by the wetness of her core, her mouth. My mental response to this un-fucking-belivably annoying dick asshole psycho: He watched her through the thin shower curtain, perched on the edge of the bed with a hard-on powerful enough to puncture six inches of steel plating. That’s what you were going to say, isn’t it, Zeus?” “You know, I’m sure this is your best attempt at seduction, but even with all this suave finesse, I am not going to have sex with you.” You have sex with me, the compulsion goes away, and we won’t need to do it ever again, won’t even have to talk to each other ever again. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone as single-minded as you.” “You’re out of your mind,” she said, plopping down on the side of the bed.

Remembrance danielle steel synopsis5/26/2023 However, tropes are simply tropes and, as my ratings of these books show, you can do those tropes well or very badly. These four books all had very similar themes and drama tropes, especially when it came to romance, death, and marriage. Usually this is when I say whether I would read more of her books, but my honest answer is, I don’t know. One one star, one two stars, one three stars, one four stars. I ended up giving this two out of five stars.Īs you can tell, my ratings were all over the place with Danielle Steel’s books. I would understand if this was a first draft, but not a final, published work. It was like Steel had a great idea for a story and just regurgitated it as a summarized outline. I wanted to get into the characters and the spy missions, but everything is brushed over with shallow summaries. I liked the plot, but since the story covers like sixty years and is only 288 pages, the entire story feels summed up and is about 80% telling not showing (and I’m also person who complains about too much flowery language usually, so this is saying a lot). It follows a young English woman who works as a spy for over thirty years, during WWII and after. I mostly read this book because of the gorgeous cover. At this point I went back and finished Remembrance, spurred on because of my mostly enjoyment of the two previous books and then I read the most recent release of these four, Spy, published in 2019.

Interaction of Color by Josef Albers5/26/2023 One standout moment is archival footage of the crusty Albers pontificating about his theories in the classroom, ultimately saying, “I have not taught painting because it cannot be taught. The paid version is for those who want a more in-depth understanding of color theory, and it includes the full text, the complete set of Albers’s color studies and a large selection of video content. In the spirit of the interactive component of the book, the app makes it very easy to save newly created color studies and share them across social networks. The former includes a feature that allows users to make their own color studies using Albers’s templates and a collection of 250 color swatches. A basic version is free on the Apple app store, with a more comprehensive version available for $9.99. This beautifully designed digital version interweaves intuitive text with interactive media that nicely illustrate Albers’s theories. In order to give a larger audience access to Albers’s work, Yale produced the app in time for the book’s 50th anniversary. The complete edition was re-released in 2009 by Yale University Press after being out of print for many years, but with a hefty price tag-it lists at $250. |
