Favorite Quotes:

The door closed behind them and a hush fell across the room as though all noise had been sucked out with them.  For an instant, Lacy and I seemed separated from the rest of the world, hovering within the vacuum of space.  No sound existed.  Then suddenly, the noise returned, powering back into the restroom.  Air vents hummed, music played, water flowed from the faucet in front of me.  It also felt like something else had come inside when the women left, forcing its way into me as one thought.  James isn't the missing person.  You are.

I felt the full impact of his words.  They raced up my arm from where he touched me, electrons charging my skin.

... he surveyed his camera, adjusting the lens and settings.  I watched the moonlight ripple on the ocean, the clicks and beeps from Ian's camera background noise.  A faint smile touched my lips.  I would always associate those sounds with him.

He was hard where I was soft, strong where I was weak.  He was my friend, and I couldn't stop myself from falling for him.

I sniffed the liquor and took a hesitant sip.  Edgar tapped the bottom of my glass, angling the crystal higher against my mouth.  I gulped quickly.  Whiskey burned a ditch in my throat and dug a hole in my belly.  Edgar laughed, shoulders twitching.  'You'll need more of that if you want to survive the family you're marrying into.  Might as well start now.'

My Review:

Everything We Keep was brilliantly written, expertly and maddeningly paced and totally consuming.  How can this be the author's first work?  I. Am. In. Awe.  The plot was compelling and well crafted; I was quickly drawn in and remained tightly wound and intrigued throughout.  I didn't want to put my kindle down as the storyline kept moving and was somewhat eerie at times, digging me in deeper and deeper.  Was James really dead, was it a scam, was the psychic for real, was the death staged, who covered it up?  Had James really been as honorable as she remembered?  Of course, I had my own wild theories, but then an even older incident wrapped up in deep shame also surfaced, which put a different taint on things.  Ms. Lonsdale has mad skills and turned in a masterful and polished performance.  More - please!

Within these pages I found a tale that transported and transformed me.  For a time it felt as if I was living in the wonder and the trials of the Rus'.  My mouth was filled with the taste of the thin cabbage soup during a winter of near starvation.  My nose wrinkled at the stench of unwashed bodies filling the streets and court of Ivan II and Moscow.  My body labored joyfully in the spring and summer to nurture the crops.  My ears were filled with the songs and tales that could hold the mind as the winter storms wailed.

I began to understand clearly the joy of resting atop the winter oven beside the others and the need to name the inexplicable forces that ruled my world.  The chyerti filled a vital need, allowing acceptance of the mysteries.

I am in awe of Katherine Arden.  I thank her for sharing this amazing, under appreciated, lore.  She has taken me someplace I did not know I needed to go.  If I had my way this volume would be required reading in every high school, every student's journey to look to history, anthropology, literature, and psychology.  It brings it all out, so very real to the senses, introducing you to the path of humankind.

Write more please, I will wait impatiently for your next offering.  I want to travel with you to meet the realms you will wander as you introduce me to the world that was,  that I have been ignorant of.... ignorance is curable after all and I look forward to the journeys to come.

At the beginning I was skeptic about this game but after an hour of playing, I got sucked right into its beautiful atmosphere. If you're into The Longest Journey and Syberia type of games, you'll enjoy this one. Gray Matter has a good story to it. It's long enough. The puzzles are more on the easier side, but they are still enjoyable. I liked the mysterious vibes and playing detective. And, this's been a good reminder of why I love playing adventure games. Now I need to find another game :(

It was amazing. Really made me nostalgic for the things I have. ( which is funny because I still have them)

I'm a frequent visitor to Rio. I love the beaches, I love the sunsets, and I love, love, love the inexpensive comfort entertainers that you can engage for mere pennies. (Beats Monte Carlo, am I right fellas?)

What I don't like about Rio is having to leave the gated complex in order to seek out these talented and nubile contractors.

And this is where the Tourbillion's Zenithgram(tm) technology came in very handy. I was able to project a personal hologram of myself into one of the cruelest and most desperate favelas in all of Brazil to negotiate a rate with an entire troupe of VERY talented entertainers/tour guides, who were then able to come directly to my complex via my personal Sikorsky. No muss, no fuss.

I was even able to introduce my Zenithgram(tm) into the entertainments/procedures to give the proceeding a novel futuristic twist.  Best 144 hours of my life! Thanks Zenith!

Climbing over the bluff i see 2 figures in the distance.  Carefully making my way towards them i see a large creature being led with sacks on its back.  I crouch into sneak mode to avoid detection and creep up behind its owner.  Can i get close enough to identify them??  I find out that its that crabby roaming vendor Trashcan Carla who i threatened to rob unsuccessfully and now won't sell me anything.  Bi@tch!  I get behind her undetected and pickpocket her 45 bottlecaps while leaving a present in their place.  A fragmentation mine.  As i sprint away she notices me and turns and says mockingly "the only way you are going to get anything from me is to shoot me!".  2 seconds later there is a satisfying BOOM.  hehehe

Definitely recommend this game :D

An enjoyable journey...!  I'm too easily distracted by typo-errors, but there weren't too many, and I actually got to enjoy the trip, without major distractions and delays...!  I'll be buying the next book in the series, and that doesn't happen very often...!

It's been a few months since I last looked at this book.  Once the edits and the typeset were complete I was on to other projects so...when I picked it up again post launch and started back at page one...I was excited to see how much I was enjoying it as a reader.  I truly do believe that you will too.

"Fozzie" took me on a meandering adventure that left me wanting more.  A section hiker (and thru-hiking dreamer) of the AT myself, I was hooked from the start.  I could feel at times that I was there, walking through the sections I have previously done once again.  Yet I could see the mental strength that only a thru-hiker must have.  It was a great pleasure reading about someone chasing a dream, a dream that most of us settle on.  I hope that I can build up the courage to pursue such a dream for myself.

I felt as if I was casually touring through a museum......but I was at home with my feet on an ottoman in front of a fire. Superior content. Create more museum books, please!

...was I thinkin' aloud
fell out of touch
but I'm back on my feet
and eager to be what you wanted.

You know you can't fool me; I've been loving you too long.

This song has so many positive memories from my childhood, clicking the purchase button was a no-brainer. Love, love, LOVE IT.

I almost drooled when I read my first sampling! I am all about language and this fits me to a tee.

I found Traver via Gierach, and boy am I glad I did. Built from the same ilk, and every bit as entertaining. Not everyone likes reading about other fisherman's adventures, but I think even those could be swayed by Traver's perspectives on the sport, and entertaining delivery. Big fan!!!
