Ilya smiled, covering the distance between them to kiss Shane warmly. Shane hummed, turning in Ilya’s arms, his hands moving to Ilya’s chest. But I think it will be okay.” Even though Ilya had only lived in Ottawa for about four years, he hadn’t had to use the generator, even during storms. ![]() Shane hummed and nodded, resting his hands over Ilya’s, their wedding bands knocking together. “They did say it would be blizzard-like conditions.” It had been snowing all day but it had picked up over the last few hours and they could hear the wind outside, blowing snow against the house. He tucked his nose against his hair, breathing him in, enjoying the smell of fancy shampoo and the distinct Shane -smell he loved so much. He stood behind Shane, wrapping his arms around his waist, resting his chin on top of Shane’s head. Ilya pushed off the doorframe and moved closer. “It’s really coming down,” Shane said, hanging the hand towel back up and leaning on the counter. He looked out the window as he did so, his face in profile, and Ilya’s eyes traced the straight slope of his perfect, adorable nose, and the sharp line of his jaw. Shane started the dishwasher and then rinsed and dried his hands. He watched Shane reach into the cabinet under the sink, pulling out a dishwasher tablet, bending over to place it in the dishwasher, and giving Ilya a very nice view of his ass in the process. He couldn’t see Shane’s face, but he was sure he was rolling his eyes, and Ilya chuckled. ![]() “Well,” Ilya replied, holding one hand up, and shrugging. “You just gonna stand there all night or help?” Shane asked, glancing briefly over his shoulder, before going back to his task. The vastness of the time they had was enough to still Ilya and so he just leaned against the doorframe to their kitchen, watching, appreciating. He just wanted to appreciate being able to watch his husband, to know that there were countless hours and days and weeks and months and years spread out before them to spend together. His heart was too full, every bit of him aching with how much he loved Shane. He was feeling sentimental tonight for some reason. He looked comfortable and at ease and while normally Ilya would try to scare him or annoy him in some way, he found himself unable to. He had his hair tucked behind his ears, the sleeves of the sweatshirt rolled up to his elbows as he rinsed dishes and bowls and utensils before placing them in the dishwasher. Shane was wearing a pair of shorts and one of Ilya’s sweatshirts, which was baggy on him because it was two sizes larger than what he would normally wear. It was such an innocuous, every day kind of activity, and yet it held Ilya’s attention completely.

![]() Here, Cee Lo adopts a similarly smooth tone to that of 'Crazy', but his raps are fluid, suiting Danger Mouse's glossy hip-hop soundscape wonderfully. ![]() Of course, the lyrics probably aren't there to be interpreted literally - no doubt there's some intention to suggest the presence of inner demons when under-the-bed beasties are mentioned - but falling mid-album it provides a little light relief from the often dizzying blitz-beats of other arrangements. Positives, now, for there are many: 'The Boogie Monster' is a great little baritone paean to the horrors of the night, to the things that go bump-itty-bump just out of your peripheral vision. It's a sing-along in the making, sure to have behinds up from seats at live shows, but comprises one of this album's weaker moments. 'Gone Daddy Gone' arrives soon after, coming on like Polysics penning a track for some pop-hop, blue-eyed R&B boyband or other, rapid-fire beats matched with a professional but uninspiring vocal. That it's one of the few credible number ones the UK has had in recent memory is a no-brainer, but its sequencing at track two deals it a poor hand Cee Lo's incredibly soulful vocal would suit the second half of St Elsewhere so much better. With such a seemingly haphazard approach to formulating these compositions, it's inevitable that certain songs seem a little out of sorts with their surroundings funnily, 'Crazy' is one of them. It's the circus coming to your town via a toy-store brass band and the stuffed animal aisle, childish yet bearing the hallmarks of future greatness. The song pulses in palpitations, Cee Lo's vocal more urgent than at any moment of that history-making single beats are spread wide and trip over each other, fast and furious. But it takes only two or three seconds of the opening_ 'Go Go Gadget Gospel'_ to realise that the pair have dared to experiment with a healthy dose of variety. It's only natural for the sceptic to assume that the spectacularly successful lead single to be lifted from this debut album - the collaborative project of Goodie Mob's Cee Lo and DM & Jemini's in-demand Danger Mouse - would have its formula repeated across the entirety of its parent long-player. Fourteen tracks, one 'Crazy', initial fears quashed. Schwab has delivered a novel that sweeps you into its world and carries you off with her imagination and imagery. ![]() There are parts of this book that are inventive, delightful and intriguing. I imagine her fans will be pleased with it. I had some mixed feelings about this book, but there’s a lot to like as well. Schwab is known for her fantasy novels, such as A Darker Shade of Magic. Schwab for a while, and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is the first book in her new series. I’ve been wanting to read something from VE. If this summary was useful to you, please consider supporting this site by leaving a tip ( $2, $3, or $5) or joining the Patreon! Addie plans to break his heart and drive him away.įor more detail, see the full Section-by-Section Summary. Luc thinks he's won, but Addie knows that her new deal only requires her to stay with him for as long as he desires. He publishes the book, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, as fiction and without an author. In Part Seven, Henry lives and writes a book based on the stories that Addie has told him. ![]() Luc refuses until Addie promises herself to him in exchange for releasing Henry. Addie calls on Luc to beg him to change his deal with Henry. In the present, Addie learns that Henry's deal was only for a year. He says it requires her to surrender, and Addie lashes out at him and they fight. In 1980, Addie asks Luc to release her from her deal. They end up in an affair which lasts for years, and Addie falls for him. When he comes to visit in 1952, he admits to wanting her. She finally uses it in 1944 when she gets captured during WWII. In Part Six, in 1914, Luc admits to liking Addie's company and gives her a wooden ring so she can call on him. Addie accuses him of being lonely and in want of company. He occasionally will rescue her from a sticky situation, claiming he wants to be the one to break her. Addie travels across Europe, with Luc visiting usually on July 29, but he skips some years. Meanwhile, in the past, the book describes Addie and Luc's relationship over the course of over a hundred years from the 1700s to the end of the 1800s. In Part Five, Henry begins to write down Addie's story, with Addie dictating. He realizes that people love him, but they also don't really see him. His exes ask for a second chance and he's offered a job he's completely unqualified for. Since then, everyone sees him as whatever they want to see. After getting his heartbroken, he asks to be loved in exchange for his soul. To her surprise, Henry admits to Addie that he, too, made a deal with the devil a year ago. When Henry's friends don't recognize her, Addie tells him the truth about her bargain with the devil. In Parts Three & Four, Addie continues to see Henry. In present day, Addie sees Henry again, who recognizes her, and they go on a date. Addie learns to survive and navigate her new world. He takes on the form and name, Luc, of an imaginary stranger Addie once daydreamed about. In Part Two, the devil appears yearly, each time asking Addie if she's ready to relinquish her life and her soul. She walks into a used bookstore to steal a book, but is caught by the clerk, Henry. The exception is a wooden ring, which she cannot get rid of. She also cannot keep a home or keep possessions. She can't give people her real name or tell her story. In present day, Addie survives by stealing and sneaking into others' apartments to sleep. As soon as she leaves their sight, they forget her. ![]() She is given eternal life, but no one can remember her (she wanted to "live freely"). Instead, she offers the devil her soul when she is done with it, and he accepts. As a gift, she offers her favorite possession, a carved wooden ring, but the devil rejects it. Addie asks to live freely and to have more time. As she prays to the old gods, the night falls and the devil answers. In 1714, Addie is 23 and engaged, but she longs to be free. Estele also told her she had seven freckles, one for each man she would love some day. ![]() A local woman, Estele, taught her about the old gods, but warned her not to call on them after dark. In Part One, we meet Adeline "Addie" LaRue, who was born over 300 years ago, in Villon, a small french village. The book switches between the past and the present to tell this story. ![]() Add your filtered water and, using a spatula, mix it to create a smooth batter.

Eren’s village is attacked by titans, these big, monstrous beings that destroy and eat everything in their path. If you’re familiar with Attack on Titan, you can see that Deka and Eren, the protagonist in the manga, have similarities. They will fight against the Deathshrieks, these monsters that attack villages in the empire. An old woman saves her and takes her to be part of the emperor’s army of girls, all with cursed blood. Because of this, she is then sentenced to death. Deka, the main character in Forna’s novel, bleeds gold instead of red. What made me choose this manga for The Gilded Ones is the resemblance of the main characters’ beginnings. But we still have that little bump in the road: the question of where to start.Īttack on Titan is one manga that is going down in history as one of the most popular pieces of work in the world. Now, after checking that out and showering yourself with all that new information, the next step is to pick a variety of manga you want to try. Do you want to read shounen, shoujo, josei, or seinen? If you’re unfamiliar with these terms or you’re a beginner in the manga world, we highly recommend checking out this beginner’s guide to manga first. The first question that can come to mind is “Where should I start reading?” You look at everything out there and so many options appear before you. ![]() ![]() It can be overwhelming when you want to read, or start reading, manga. ![]() But when it comes to dipping your toes into a new genre or format, I can understand if it suddenly becomes too much for you.

If you really want to extract a 'Top Man," you had better have deep pockets these operations cost between 1.5 and 2 million eb depending on the target and the threat. ![]() A full biosculpt after every mission does wonders for your survival. Most of the time the Corporations consider them a necessary evil, but paranoia rules. They live in the shadows, work through double cut-outs, and stay invisible. The best operatives are freelance and they don't work cheap. They certainly aren't going to risk their reputations for a third party.ĭeniability and secrecy are very important in high-level extraction, and most Corporations work outside through services like this one. No one in Corporate America wants to admit that they actually perform extractions on a regular basis. Why go to this kind of trouble when the big corporations, like Arasaka, have their own black ops teams? It's simple Arasaka won't take outside clients. They also specialize in corporate kidnapping as well (this is as bold as a company specializing in extraction can be and still operate legally). Some missions cost more, but all are tax-deductible. Cities do get their own police forces, but for the Federal group you're looking at Law Enforcement Division (LEDiv). You also need a look at Protect and Serve as mentioned in an earlier post.

![]() He believes that these predators are not as widely celebrated as they should be. While larval and adult diving beetles have long been known to prey on tadpoles, watching them while alone began to pique Valdez’ interest in the role of invertebrates in the survival of amphibians. They eat a wide range of small fish, shrimp, tadpoles, and small crustaceans in addition to small fish, shrimp, tadpoles, and small crustaceans in their natural habitat. One of the major threats to frogs is dragon fly larvae, which can grow to be twice as long as they are, and can eat anything not larger than themselves, which may make amphibians desirable as a species to preserve.Īdult damselfly nymphs, on the other hand, will eat anything that is appropriate for their size, whereas adult damselfly nymphs eat insects such as mosquitoes and flies, but only those that are suitable for their size. While a small species can fly at 10 miles per hour, a large species can reach speeds of up to 30 miles per hour. A female Dragonfly will consume any insect she can find. Their prey is typically found in aquatic vegetation, and they spend the majority of their time in the water. This is because the dragonflies are eating them! If you have tadpoles in your pond, you may notice that they start to disappear once dragonfly nymphs start to mature. So, do dragonfly larvae eat tadpoles? Yes, they certainly do! In fact, tadpoles are a favourite food of dragonfly larvae. ![]() Once they have captured their prey, they will use their powerful jaws to crush it and then suck out the contents. They will sometimes lie in wait for their prey, or actively stalk it until they are close enough to strike. They are equipped with sharp jaws that they use to grasp their prey. Dragonfly larvae are voracious eaters and can consume their weight in prey every day. While adult dragonflies are predators of other flying insects, dragonfly larvae are predators of aquatic animals such as tadpoles, mosquito larvae, and even small fish. What many people don’t know is that these amazing creatures begin their lives as larvae, or nymphs, living in the water. Most people are familiar with dragonflies as the adult insects that zip around near ponds and rivers on hot summer days. |
