Emily Rachelle Writes

Hello, my lovely readers. Today I'm reviewing Cidney Swanson's latest book, a time-traveling adventure titled A Thief in Time . I'm elated to experience another of Cidney's works. Let's dive in! About the Book He can't stay - She can't let him go.   Halley’s world is full of hand-outs and hand-me-downs. Even her apartment bedroom is shared, with her distant and self-centered mother. Halley has only a battered blue truck to call her own—until she meets Edmund, the second Earl of Shaftesbury. Edmund has a manor, employs dozens of servants, and has never been close to falling in love—until Halley crashes into his life during an accidental trip to 1598. Now a spiraling series of encounters with a dangerous time-traveling thief will bring their worlds together with heartbreaking ramifications.

About the Book: In this urban fantasy retelling of Beauty and the Beast, modern-day teenager, Beila Durand, is plagued by nightmares that lead her to discover — and wind up trapped in — a cursed underground world. The invisible people that live in this medieval village depend on Beila learning the truth behind their curse — and why she is the only one who can set them free. In her quest for answers, however, all she seems to find are more questions. Where do the echoing screeches at night originate? Who is the isolated man that speaks with Beila from the shadows of his cloak? What does this New York girl have to do with any of it? And will she ever find a way back home?  To help support World of Shadows ' release, check out my Thun derclap campaign !

This semester, I'm taking Spanish 101. Last week, my professor ( mi profesora ) announced our class ( nuestra clase ) would have a Day of the Dead celebration to learn more about the holiday and the Mexican culture related to it. She planned to set up an altar for gifts and memorials, as is traditional. However, since most of the class seemed disinterested, she chose to stick with a normal average class period instead. She did tell me where to find more information on the holiday, however; I decided to construct an altar of my own. (There are other traditions/beliefs in this holiday, such as dressing up and the Lady Catrina. The end of this post has links to more information.)

Sony Home Video provided me with some of the materials I used in this Blog Post/Giveaway. The opinions I share are my own. Hello, my lovely readers! Last week, I told you about the newest Swan Princess movie release , The Swan Princess: Princess Tomorrow, Pirate Today! Today, as promised, I'm reviewing the movie, and announcing our giveaway winner! Style : Animation and Music   As the movie started, I noted that the background music was lovely and very fitting -- somewhat Narnia-esque. The island scenery was also beautiful, if a bit simplistic in its animation style. The living beings seemed rough and awkward in their movements, and the mouths didn't always match the characters' speech. However, most of the returning characters still looked just like the old characters I remembered: Jean-Bob the frog, Speed the turtle, King William, and Queen Uberta. The animation held a lot of serious flaws, though. The ocean looked pale and shallow; movements of living character...
