The one that I make sure finds its way into the first load in the washer, so I can wear it again as soon as possible. It’s been a while, this isn’t Christian Fiction, and it isn’t even Monday!– but I don’t care, because this book made me feel as if slipping back into my childhood imagination, optimism, and sense of “silliness” is about as easy and comfortable as slipping into my favorite sweater. ![]() Post on the same day of the week, they say.

![]() ![]() The Illustrated Longitude brings a new and important dimension to Dava Sobel's celebrated story.

The largest reward of £20,000 - truly a king's ransom - was offered by Britain's Parliament in 1714. To encourage a solution, governments established prizes for anyone whose method or device proved successful. Thousands of lives and the fortunes of nations hung on a resolution to the longitude problem. ![]() All too often throughout the ages of exploration, voyages ended in disaster when crew and cargo were either lost at sea or destroyed upon the rocks of an unexpected landfall.

Kuhr![]() ![]() People clapped and cheered, calling out to the men they knew. I swung my arms out and bowed as Admiral Hugo's men came running to the center of the room. "I present to you, Admiral Hugo and the Royal Armada." In appreciation of their quick actions and for granting me the gift of my life," I paused for dramatic affect. They found me floating adrift, lost at sea. I have arranged a spectacle for tonight's entertainment. "In honor of Bryndury's Anniversary and as an expression of my gratitude and thanks to the people of Cynthera and my King and Queen." I turned and gave them a curtsy. Everyone quieted down so even the people near the front door on the far side could hear me. With the whiskey warm in my belly and my heart filled with joy I found myself excited and not scared at all. ![]() I walked around the table and stood at the edge of the dais facing the hordes of people. A large rope was strung tight between them and the net secured halfway down in case anyone should fall. It took a few minutes for Admiral Hugo and his men to set up the two large masts and anchored them down. They moved the tables to the edges of the hall, and the large space opened up in the middle. Whiskey was a strong drink and I found myself giddy with it. That night's enjoyment was just getting started. People are following me so I know it's not the whole app but I can't follow anyone. Is anyone else having problems following people on wattpad. ![]() 5/24/2023 0 Comments Consequences series aleatha romig![]() ![]() ![]() Anthony may appear to the world as a handsome, benevolent businessman, but in reality Claire knows firsthand that he’s a menacing, controlling captor with very strict rules: do as you’re told, public failure is not an option, and appearances are of the utmost importance.

The mustard cuts through the beefiness of the dog, the onions bring an acrid sting, the tomatoes insert freshness, the relish carries welcome sweetness (and a Willy Wonkaesque pop of color), the pickle spear brings vinegar, the sport peppers add a sharp-spicy acid, and it’s all tied together-however strangely-by the celery salt, which leaves you with a satisfying vegetal afterglow.
