Persa nel tempo by Linda Castillo7/8/2023 One thing I couldn't figure out though, why only go an hour away? Next time you decide to go on a break, Kate and John, head further afield. MY THOUGHTS: Definitely a short story, but a very satisfying one. Swept up in the girl’s story, and a need for justice, Kate and John begin looking into the mysterious disappearance of Angela Blaine. After closing a difficult case, they’re looking forward to some down time, but their relaxation is cut short by rumors that the old house where they’re staying is haunted by a girl who disappeared twenty years earlier, leaving nothing behind but some bloody clothes by the river and rumors of a volatile relationship. 'Everyone likes a good ghost story.'ĪBOUT THIS BOOK: It’s autumn in Painters Mill, and Chief of Police Kate Burkholder and John Tomasetti are taking a much-needed vacation at a small bed and breakfast an hour outside of town. Tomasetti picks up the pen and begins filling out the registration form. 'You mean the ghost?' I ask, trying not to feel foolish. 'The couple who were here last weekend saw her in the orchard,' Harley says. My grossdaddi planted all those trees fifty years ago and they're still producing the best McInstosh apples I've ever had.' EXCERPT: 'There's an apple orchard behind the old barn,' she tells me.

This entertaining read will especially please those who always wanted to know what happened after the good guys won. Meanwhile, the ancient evil known as the Deepness is rising once again. An orphan of decidedly low origins, Vin is also having trouble adapting to her position as royal consort, especially since the underclass skaa, newly freed by Elend, look to her as their protector. Yes you should While it is disheartening trust me, the series is phenomenal and the second book is more of a set up book for the finale more than anything. Fortunately, Elend can rely on help from his lover and unofficial court assassin, the young allomancer Vin, but her magical metal-using ability makes her a target. Elend Venture, the scholarly new Lord Ruler of Luthadel, clings to power while Luthadel’s aristocrats and merchants grumble and two enemy armies-one led by Elend’s father, Lord Straff-camp outside the city gates. Sanderson’s entertaining second Mistborn novel begins after most fantasy series end, when the team of brave and cunning heroes find that holding on to power is even harder than overthrowing the previous tyrant.

I decided to mix things up and came across this absolute gem, One of Us is Lyingby Karen M. While I do love a good mystery thriller, over the past few months I have leaned towards fantasy books more. In YOU HAVE MORE INFLUENCE THAN YOU THINK: How We Underestimate our Power of Persuasion, and Why It Matters, Vanessa Bohns social psychologist and professor of organizational behavior at Cornell University, argues that despite the popular opinion that we need to gain influence in order to get what we want, we actually already have it - we’re just not using it mindfully.ĭrawing from her original research she illustrates why we fail to recognize the influence we have, and how that lack of awareness can lead us to miss opportunities or accidentally misuse our power. Those feelings may instead have been the result of a lack of awareness we all seem to have for how our words, actions, and even our mere presence affect other people. If you’ve ever felt ineffective, invisible, or inarticulate, chances are you weren’t actually any of those things. A fascinating and convincing counterargument that we don’t need to win friends and influence people - we have plenty of influence already - we’re just not using it the right way.
