![]() Clyde, protagonist of the title story, is a superannuated vampire mistaken for a “small, kindly Italian grandfather.” He sits, surrounded by tourists, and watches lemons being harvested in Sorrento. With the exception of the extraordinary “Proving Up,” which hovers on a slender cusp that separates the supernatural from the mundane, all the stories here are firmly rooted in the fantastic. ![]() “Vampires in the Lemon Grove” earns out on this promise: Two of these tales are among the best and most chilling I’ve read in years. Lucy’s Home for Girls Raised by Wolves,” helped garner her the prestigious “5 Under 35” award from the National Book Foundation, and its follow-up, the novel “ Swamplandia!,” was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in 2012 (the year the board made the controversial decision to present no award for fiction). ![]() Not that there was ever much doubt about that. ![]() Karen Russell’s third book, the story collection “ Vampires in the Lemon Grove,” should cement her reputation as one of the most remarkable fantasists writing today. ![]() ![]() On paper, Theo is not so likable at first. Her kind heart and sassy attitude make her a character I can get behind and cheer for. ![]() It wouldn’t have happened with anyone else, because Lizzie just gets Theo in ways no one else does. ![]() I absolutely adore how Lizzie brings Theo to life, how she makes him aware of the world around him and helps him enjoy living. There is just something about the way she thinks and writes that draws me in and keeps me glued to my kindle from start to end. I absolutely adore Annika Martin’s unrestrained humor and crazy characters. So when Lizzie can’t find a single wake-up service who will deal with Theo, she ends up making the call herself, and quickly things progress beyond normal parameters. But she can’t rock the boat for another week, or she’ll lose her desperately needed bonus. Until Lizzie, who thinks Theo is a bit absurd. He’s brilliant but surly, unintentionally scaring his employees into going along with whatever he thinks. ![]() Billionaire CEO/scientist Theo lives in his own world, consumed with his formulas and life-saving products. The Billionaire’s Wake-Up-Call Girl is one of the funniest, sexiest books I’ve read in a while – probably since the last Annika Martin title I devoured. ![]() ![]() This gives her motivation to do whatever she can to take the story Off the Rails and secure a better ending, often demonstrating that she is highly kind, intelligent, and/or skilled in the process. Usually, the protagonist takes the role of a Ojou "villainess" (called "Akuyaku Reijou" - 悪役令嬢 lit.: "Antagonistic Noble Young Lady" in Japanese): a stock Disposable Fiancée of one of the Love Interests who terrorizes or harms the more innocent heroine for being a threat, and who, of course, is fated for a bad ending if the story continues as-is. It's unnecessary for the setting to be from a video game either many have her transmigrate into other forms of media such as books or comics. ![]() ![]() Most often, an Ordinary High-School Student or Office Lady from Japan (or whatever country the story originates from) will die and reincarnate in the game world with Past-Life Memories, although some stories have the protagonist gain a new set of memories or personality some other way. A subgenre of works which adds new twists to Otome Game tropes, with a protagonist who inscrutably understands their fictional world's plot, mechanics or setting. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Secret Life of Amy Bensen season 2 trailer King can be seen in NCIS: Los Angeles, Star Trek: Picard and Zach and Dennis: How it All Began.ĭylan Nunez ( Moonshot) also appears as Jared, along with Georgia Simmons ( Wig'd Out) as Meg.

As far as spiritual enlightenment goes, it’s the real deal. There are few books that speak to you on such a deep level that you have a-ha moment after a-ha moment, but The Power of Now is one of them. I came to Tolle’s book after years of meditation, lots of spiritual angst, and a hunch that I was spending too much time with worries about the past and anticipation about the future. These are two no-no’s I know well from over a decade in mindfulness training and teaching yoga. This presence is felt as you read through the lines of this book. The publishers were “compelled” to publish the book due to Tolle’s profound spiritual presence. This is your inner purpose, which will reveal itself as an outer purpose once you hone your inner energy. According to Eckhart Tolle, you’re here to enable the divine purpose of the Universe to unfold. The Power of Now has one goal – to remind you why you exist. Note: This The Power of Now summary is part of an ongoing project to summarise the Best Mindfulness Books and Best Self Help Books of all time. ![]() ![]() ![]() But how can she, when she doesn't know much about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are having trouble working together?
