The Ash’bani ( The Five Angels 2)
By Kimberly M. Ringer
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Everything has changed. Megan has lost her ability to see the future and CJ is a Vernadali. An Angels Blessed Vernadali at that. What does that even mean?
When Clarice gets a message that her father is dying, Megan and CJ come home to travel with Clarice to Obsecuritan. No one knows what awaits them there, but they can only hope that they can find answers as to how they can stop Ansel.
Clarice’s closely guarded secrets are about to be revealed, but at what cost? And just what is Ansel up to?
This was a vast improvement on book 1 it had more story and more grounding. I actually enjoyed most of it. The only thing that really bothered me was the slushy mushy stuff and yea I get the love and strength that is between CJ and Megan but come on it was over bearing. Really overbearing!!! I do want to see where it goes though as things make a lot more sense.

David McK (3562 KP) rated The Lost Symbol: (Robert Langdon Book 3) in Books
Jan 28, 2019
The third Dan Brown book featuring Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon and, like his previous books ("Angels and Demons", "The Da Vinci code", "Deception Point" and "Digital Fortress" - the first two in that list also featuring Robert Langdon), I found it to be an entertaining enough read without being anything special.
I have to say, I also think that (one of) the supposed big reveals was actually pretty obvious from roughly 1/3 of the way into the story, which didn't really help ...

One of my all-time favorite novels.
This is one of my all-time favorite books, and my introduction to both Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, whose entire bibliographies I intend to complete. Highly recommended for anyone who is willing to temporarily (or not) turn off the urge to take higher things like God, the Antichrist, angels, demons, and the apocalypse too seriously.
Dick Cavett recommended Children of Paradise (1945) in Movies (curated)
It is a collection of biographies of incredible women in history, that was written in a witty and very enjoyable way. Every woman had something to teach us, and it actually boosted my self-confidence, while reading it. The authors picked very particular women, not necessarily very well known ones, but very admirable and influential nevertheless.
Some of these women might’ve seemed negative, but every single one had something to teach us, and let’s be honest, we are not angels sometimes either.
