https://alltheupsandowns.blogspot.com/2020/07/book-blog-tour-and-giveaway-republic-of.html

**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
Jack Cowherd will do anything to win the Texas governorship, even flirt with twenty-first-century secessionists in the Texas Patriot Party. Victory is achieved, but only at the cost of Texas being tossed out of the United States. The Republic of Texas lives again! And Jack is president.

Friend and political advisor Tasha Longoria has long warned Jack of the dangers of his demagoguery. Now when he tries to halt the madness, the worst comes to pass: he is impeached, arrested, and charged with treason, the penalty for which is death.

Jack has but one chance to save his beloved Texas, not to mention his life. But success depends upon help from the one person least likely to give it . . . Tasha.

Jim Jarmusch recommended Atomic Blonde (2017) in Movies (curated)

"Atomic Blonde, 2016. I’ve seen it three times. It’s directed by David Leitch, of John Wick fame. But this is my idea of the ultimate feminist action movie. Wonder Woman, I’m sorry, just didn’t do it for me, but Charlize Theron is definitely my idea of a female superhero somehow. She balances femininity, vulnerability, and total badass strength. So she is truly great in this film. And I would say, she usually is very strong. I love the way that Charlize Theron is rarely, if ever, like overplaying anything. And the film is ingenious; it takes place in Berlin, just 24 hours before the wall falls. It’s full of betrayal, violence, intrigue, and the idea of life and death become completely irrelevant when the wall comes down. It’s a really brilliant plot. And also James McAvoy, John Goodman, and Toby Jones deliver really engagingly creepy, supporting performances. The action sequences are all amazing, the visual effects, and hats off to Charlize Theron. I really love, Atomic Blonde."

 “The path to Hell is paved in good intentions.”

Despite the moment of peace, Helena can’t let the past stay where it belongs. And digging deeper into her mother’s death only leads to more discoveries that bring everything to a head.

Determined to right all the wrongs, she is blindsided by horrific truths. She came to
terms with being Satanael’s daughter—much to everyone’s dismay—but nothing could’ve prepared her for the wrath her mother’s presence brings.

While the jinn think they are safe behind locked portals, Eric struggles to keep his mate in line.

But the Fates are weaving a new thread in the life of the halfbreed. Helena’s
existence is connected to more than just Hell’s gate.

And it’s time to pay the price.

The Devil always takes his due.

Jessica spoke to the old me. The me that was bullied in school, felt like her parents didn't care, cut herself at night to keep the emotions and depression at bay. Reading the beginning of her story brought all that back and I was able to mourn along with Jessica. I was all for Jace when he came to her rescue, I was weary of Kingsley when he first introduced himself. It didn't take long for me to switch teams, though. Jace kept messing up and Kingsley was so beautifully broken. The ending tore through me. I don't like to cry when reading, but I couldn't hold back the tears when I read the last chapter. I'm glad there's a second part, I would like to watch Jessica heal after Kingsley's death. The ending also felt a bit abrupt, with Jace suddenly coming back into her life, so taking another journey with her will help process that change.

Blood Bowl is the perfect balance of miniature gaming, Tolkienesque fantasy and honest to goodness fluff and humour. (0 more)
The two teams in the base set don't have all the positional figures but this can easily fixed with team expansions. (0 more)
One of the oldest and best just got a relaunch
Blood Bowl is more than just a boxed game; for some it's a way of life, boasting tournaments and fans all around the world, including players of the many spin-off video games. The base set barely touched the surface of the hobby. I thoroughly recommend seeking out the Death Zone expansions, which add league rules to the mix. There are already many team expansions (such as Elves) released with more to come. The hobby is further supported by an abundance of third party additions. If you like the idea of playing a strategic, turn-based version of American Football with Dwarves and mutant rats the look no further.
