In the meantime slice the zucchini into similar 1/4 inch slices lengthwise. ![]() Set the colander aside to sweat for about 15 minutes (takes away any bitterness).

The continuous sounds of machine and crew, the fetid taste of the air filled with sweat, the omniscient fear of crushing your oxygen line while sleeping, the free fall, the dreams of drowning, generates an intense drive to kill your crewmates.

''Laini Taylor is so damn good and like no other'' Leigh Bardugo The limited 5th Anniversary edition of the magical Sunday Times bestseller, by Laini Taylor, author of the Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() This one I’m not going to let go of so easily. So the magic is really neat, and I like how it progresses. The first thing they asked was what kind of magic system do you have? This book would have knocked their socks off back then and been snatched up in a bidding war. It made me think of a point back in the 90’s when fantasy was in full swing and publishers were looking for something new and fresh, they never cared about characters, setting, or conflict. In fact, I believe this is one of the cooler systems of magic that I’ve ever read about. Admittedly, once the book started flowing and the magic was shown in action it all made since, and became infinitely more simplified. ![]() It was a lot to take in, and it was a very sticky wicket to get through. ![]() There are very few of these, but I have to say that right at the beginning of the book we get hit with this huge info dump on how the magic system works, and it came off as being so complicated that I got out my slide rule, my abacus, and boned up on my physics before I continued. I have to admit though that there were some things that kind of scared me right off the back. This book was incredibly fun, well thought out, had a nice MC, and fleshed out characters. I don’t think I’ve loved a story so much right out of the gate as much as I did Advent since Dante’s Immortality. ![]() ![]() ![]() On one of his long night walks, in a once-beloved square, he meets the mysterious Eleanor Lovejoy, who might be just the muse he needs.

While his wife plans a lavish holiday party for their ever-expanding family and circle of friends, Dickens has visions of the poor house. His newest book is an utter flop, the critics have turned against him, relatives near and far hound him for money. Charles Dickens is not feeling the Christmas spirit. Dickens and His Carol is an irresistible new take on a cherished classic. It's as foggy and haunted and redemptive as the original it's all heart, and I read it in a couple of ebullient, Christmassy gulps." -Anthony Doerr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All The Light We Cannot See Laced with humor, rich historical detail from Charles Dickens' life, and clever winks to his work, Samantha Silva's Mr. ![]() ![]() " A charming, comic, and ultimately poignant story about the creation of the most famous Christmas tale ever written. ![]() ![]() ![]() 5 Books Lulu Loves the Library Anna McQuinn From 3.99 Lulu Loves Flowers Anna McQuinn From 4.
