![]() ![]() In 2007, he returned to the stage, portraying an American, Clay, a stay-at-home father with a liberal attitude in the play The Pain and the Itch.Ī TV breakthrough came when he appeared as Hareton Earnshaw in an adaptation of Wuthering Heights, screened on the ITV network in 1998. In 2005, he played Prince Hal in Henry IV, Parts One and Two at the Royal National Theatre, with Michael Gambon in the role of Falstaff. His Benedick was played as an officer-class buffoon with a moustache and a braying laugh. Career Īfter having studied at the RADA from 1992 to 1995, Macfadyen became known in British theatre primarily for his work with the stage company Cheek by Jowl, for which he played Antonio in The Duchess of Malfi, Charles Surface in The School for Scandal, and Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing. As a student, he was inspired by Ingmar Bergman's Fanny and Alexander, which he thought was "n example to follow – an example of people acting with each other.", and "eatured just the most extraordinary acting I'd ever seen". He attended schools in England, including in Louth, Lincolnshire, Scotland and Indonesia, and went to Oakham School in Rutland, before being accepted to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art at 17. ![]() Macfadyen was brought up in a number of places, including Jakarta, Indonesia, as a result of his father's occupation. His paternal grandparents were Scottish and his maternal grandparents were Welsh. ![]() Macfadyen was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, the son of Meinir (née Owen), a drama teacher and former actress, and Martin Macfadyen, an oil engineer. ![]() ![]() ![]() My darling ➳ ✨ GIANNA RUSSO MARINO ALLISTER✨: ![]() I'm really sorry and I needed to do better. It didn't capture the obsession love I have for this book and for this characters enough. Goodreads might say that I've only read this book twice, which is a huge lie considering the number of times I've re-read this book hasn't been invented yet, cause it goes beyond infinity.Īnyway, my first review for The Maddest Obsession was a disservice to Gianna and Christian. "It means, to live with wolves, you have to howl like a wolf." Might even give you diabetes by reading it. ![]() Warning: This reviews contains a lot of fangirling. Gianna Marino and Christian Allister are all of the above. Some people are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. "There are plenty of women who could make you happier, Christian." There is a reason why christiangianna only have one book, because perfection has already been achieved. Reading their book will always give me the greatest high, no drug could ever achieve. ☆⋅⋆ ─── x re-read 2023: infinity times infinity stars □Ĭhristian and Gianna are the definition of romance. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Working at the lavish Regal Sol hotel and newly engaged to Pinkerton Detective Martin Cadden, Josephine Galena Valencia has big dreams for her future. Snow Falling is a sweeping historical romance set in 1902 Miami-a time of railroad tycoons, hotel booms, and exciting expansion for the Magic City. With these tumultuous events as inspiration, Jane’s breathtaking first novel adapts her story for a truly epic romance that captures the hope and the heartbreak that have made the television drama so beloved. Jane the Virgin, the Golden Globe, AFI, and Peabody Award–winning The CW dramedy, has followed Jane’s telenovela-esque life-from her accidental artificial insemination and virgin birth to the infant kidnapping and murderous games of the villainous Sin Rostro to an enthralling who-will-she-choose love triangle. It’s been a lifetime (and three seasons) in the making, but Jane Gloriana Villanueva is finally ready to make her much-anticipated literary debut! ![]() “Fans of the show will undoubtedly enjoy the chance to read Jane’s book in real life.” -Entertainment Weekly “Just the thing for a cold winter’s night between episodes.” -The Washington Post Book World ![]() ![]() ![]() Yet, despite the fact its backbone is rigorous science, it’s written in a way that feels very easy to digest. This book remains my go-to guide for general crow knowledge. Curious how long crows live? What they do as juveniles? The sounds they make? The ways the interact with people? It’s all in there. If watching, feeding or rehabilitating corvids is something you do in your free time, consider this your crow bible. In the Company of Crows and Ravens by John Marzluff and Tony Angell □ So without much further adieu, here’s a list of all the corvid books I’ve read with a brief synopsis of the material and my recommendation. As a preface, I’ll remind readers that John Marzluff is my graduate adviser, nevertheless, I assure you that I genuinely believe he is a fantastic writer and my review of his books are not inflated in the hopes of getting approval on my dissertation. ![]() The following are all the books I have read and can speak personally to, however, I’m sure there are others and I encourage folks to add them in the comments section. This post was prompted by someone on my twitter feed who asked that I put together a reading list for people who want to learn more about corvids a totally kick-ass idea if I say so myself. ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm unable to read the original Old English so I can't say what Heaney's translation captures or does not capture of it but, more than the other versions I've read, it communicates menace, foreboding and melancholy more effectively especially the latter. Heaney's delivery is slow, measured and sure and sometimes, only adding to its richness and character, his voice breaks (in a way reminiscent of Johnny Cash’s voice in his late ‘American’ recordings). The audio version makes cuts, which I had to pause for, but it's worth listening along to. ![]() ![]() Remembering his deep, dulcet tones, I listened along to the audio version of Beowulf, read by Heaney himself, as I read the verses. The late Seamus Heaney's 1999 verse translation is the fourth version of Beowulf that I've read over the years (the others being Kevin Crossley-Holland's somewhat turgid 1968 OUP edition Michael Morpurgo's simple and excellent 2006 prose retelling and, when my son was studying Beowulf at school this year, Gareth Hinds' gloomy but scary 2007 graphic novel), and it's easily the best.Īs a teenager studying Heaney's wonderful poems at school, I was fortunate enough to go and see him read some of them aloud, in London. ![]() ![]() ![]() If they’d help me get a live-action series off the ground, I would be willing to write a new Percy Jackson novel, or even several, which Disney Publishing could release when the show came out.Īs you probably know, I have continued to write about Percy’s world in many different books, from many different points of view, but I have not done a first-person, Percy Jackson POV full-length novel since The Last Olympian in 2009, and I haven’t done a novel centering on our classic trio, Percy, Annabeth and Grover, since The Lightning Thief in 2005. ![]() īack in 2019, when we were beginning to explore the idea of a new Percy Jackson adaption, I pitched an idea to Disney that I hoped might convince them to move things along. Well, a funny thing happened on the way to the PJOTV show. What’s this? More news just broke in Publishers Weekly? A brand-new Percy Jackson novel? What is going on!! ![]() ![]() In scene after scene, the author vividly re-creates the drama: Villagers throw rocks at epidemiologists during a burial, nearly killing them. Preston tells engrossing human stories of doctors and patients while providing a clear understanding of Ebola, from its genetic code and mutations to its terrible impacts on victims (fever, paralysis, diarrhea, etc.). Moreover, it posed the nightmare threat of spreading into populous cities. First detected in 1976 near Zaire’s Ebola River, where it jumped across species into humans, the virus returned with deadly force in the 2013 outbreak recounted here, infecting 30,000 villagers and killing 11,000. ![]() ![]() In this richly detailed narrative, he plunges readers into the “horrifying chaos” of overcrowded field-hospital wards in Sierra Leone, where “disoriented, infected patients” wander while scientists across the world scurry to identify a contagious disease for which there is no treatment or cure. “Viruses are the undead of the living world, the zombies of deep time,” writes New Yorker contributor Preston ( Panic in Level 4: Cannibals, Killer Viruses, and Other Journeys to the Edge of Science, 2008, etc.). A sequel of sorts to the landmark bestseller The Hot Zone (1994), this time with a focus on the 2013-2014 Ebola outbreak in the forests of West Africa. ![]() ![]() The customer with the smoldering good looks is a biomedical engineer of prosthetic limbs though, and he offers to help Casey who has been having trouble with her prosthetic. She’s working and putting herself through college to make a better life for herself and her daughter Casey. Paige Roberts has a plan for her future and it doesn’t involve a man, no matter how sexy and interesting he may be. But he’s drawn to the pretty waitress working there and to her young daughter, an amputee like himself. He’s as far away from his home and his old life back in Virginia as he can get and still remain in the continental US. ![]() ![]() ![]() Fans of the series and of family-oriented romance are sure to fall in love with JT and his romance with single mom Paige.įorever isn’t on JT’s mind when he walks into a diner for a quick meal. The latest in Claudia Connor’s series starring the McKinney brothers gives us the story of Jake “JT” McKinney, the youngest sibling and the sole family member on the west coast. ![]() ![]() ![]() Naughty Wish (Brit Boys Sports Romance Book 5) by J.H.
