From Wisconsin to Florida – the trip home
I wish I could say the trip home went as smoothly as our trip up, but I would be lying.
The first leg of the trip from Milwaukee to Chicago went smoothly. We were able to get on the train with relative ease. There was no rush; we found space for our luggage and comfortable seats. I was even able to do a little writing. Our stop was the last in the line, so we didn’t even have to worry about missin

"My first Blind Date of the year! This was fun, fast, and easy. If this was a date it would be coffee with someone you know is only in town on vacation."

"The final installment of the Charismatics series was truly fantastic. It’s sad that the series is over, I’ve loved it from the moment I read the first few pages of the first book, and have been in love with the characters from their first lines. Bens"

"I really liked this. I don’t feel like anything about it was really dark. It was a great gothic feel, but a nice read at the same time. A little bit of spooky here and there. But overall just a fantastic read.

| This story checked all the cozy mystery boxes. The cast of characters was endearing and just a little bit quirky. I loved the Dead Actors and felt their characters were spot on. I was confused, just a little, with the interludes when the scenes were ...more | |

And it has gryphons! Sort of. You'll have to read it to find out what I mean. I thought this story was a wonderfully creative reimagining of Rumpelstiltskin. I loved the world it was set in and the little touches that made it feel so real. It was also ...more |

| Just as in the first book, I loved how the fairies were portrayed. The glimpses into the fae courts’ motivations and machinations were intriguing and kept me engaged with the story—that, and the growing fondness I had for some of the characters. I a ...more | |

| Making Connections: 6156. Lumina and the Goblin King by Cari Lyn Jones | 10 | 42 | Aug 09, 2021 03:52PM |
“Strange as it seems, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and higher education positively fortifies it.”

“Damen said, with helpless honesty, "Laurent, I am your slave."
The words laid him open, truth exposed in the space between them. He wanted to prove it, as though, inarticulate, he could make up for what divided them. He was aware of the shallowness of Laurent's breath, it matched his own; they were breathing each other's air.
He reached out, watching for any hesitation in Laurent's eyes. The touch he offered was accepted as it had not been last time, fingers gentle on Laurent's jaw, thumb passing over his cheekbone, soft. Laurent's controlled body was hard with tension, his rapid pulse urgent for flight, but he closed his eyes in the last seconds before it happened. Damen's palm slid over Laurent's warm nape; slowly, very slowly, making his height an offering, not a threat, Damen leaned in and kissed Laurent on the mouth.
The kiss was barely a suggestion of itself, with no yielding of the rigidity in Laurent, but the first kiss became a second, after a fraction of parting in which Damen felt the flicker of Laurent's shallow breathing against his own lips.
It felt, in all the lies between them, as if this was the only true thing. It didn't matter that he was leaving tomorrow. He felt remade with the desire to give Laurent this: to give him all he would allow, and to ask for nothing, this careful threshold something to be savoured because it was all Laurent would let himself have.”
