Eve Green is everything in this show. She and Josh Hartnett are the saving graces. Out of all the penny dreadful/gothic horror, etc stories they could have pulled from, they chose.. Frankenstein, Dracula, and Dorian Grey? It could have been so much better. The season finale didn't make me feel like I wanted to watch seasons two or three.

The synopsis sounded better than the book actually was, it was a little disappointing. Stories about the main character, Weylyn, are told by the people around him. It's definitely a neat idea, but, I'm not sure it worked entirely. I may need to read it again. I did enjoy it overall, and for being a debut novel, it wasn't bad at all.
  
I loved loved loved this book! Wow!
I listened to the audiobook continuously from start to finish with barely any breaks! Each chapter examines a different patient and/or situation Stephen Grosz has seen as a practicing psychoanalyst. Some stories are relatable, some are insightful, and some are sad. I can't wait to recommend this book to everyone I know!

Wolf and Iron

[Wolf and Iron] by [Gordan R. Dickson] tells of survival after a socio-economic collapse. The characters are strongly developed and Jeebee's relationship with wolf drives the story as her learns to survive using his instincts. It follows the format of post apocalyptic stories so it is fairly predictable but the characters and relationships are what really drive the plot.

Another great book by Stevens! Her novels are always quick reads. They are very easy to get hooked in to & the stories are always so true to life. I found myself rooting for Toni through the whole story. She was a likable character despite the guilt & accusations swirling around her & Ryan. I look forward to reading more of her work.

Simple straightforward fable
An easy read, contrary to many of Dostoyevsky's novels. The honest thief raises the question of whether it is fine to forgive or accept a lie in some circumstances especially when there are more important things to be worrying about.

Dostoyevsky's short stories are always a joy to read and listen because of the power of his storytelling.

Maas takes the time to put into her stories because everything becomes 1000x more realistic and emotional. The story does take a bit to get moving, though, and I wasn’t totally into it until about 1/4 of the way through. So hang in there
