![]() ![]() “In winter storms, one by one, the great branches broke and crashed…” Soon only the trunk is left – but it’s a “proud” trunk, reaching to the sky with “its broken arms.” Its branches “turned grey with death” – while baby woodpeckers hatch inside. “Life gnawed at its heart,” Tresselt explains, describing in turn the ants, termites, woodpeckers, and even rot-causing spores that weakened the tree. The tree is impossibly old – and it’s accompanied by animals – but nature holds more surprises. “Squirrels made their homes in ragged bundles of sticks and leaves held high in the branches.” “For a hundred years or more…” The tree grew and spread its shade, and birds and other animals nested in its branches. “It stood tall in the forest,” writes Alvin Tresselt. ![]() Breathtaking watercolors by Henri Sorensen help to tell the haunting story of a dead tree. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Only the companionship of alluring Angelina Simone can distract him from the mysterious happenings in the house, but Angelina too has her own surprising connection to Manet Hall-a connection that will help Declan uncover a secret that's been buried for a hundred years.

Not sure - maybe you don’t have the same pet peeves as me □♀️ ![]() Also, there was some redemption toward the end as the storyline improved exponentially. This is definitely not Tia Louise’s best work. I felt frustrated reading a lot of this book. And why so much secrecy? I mean, there was nothing to hide and everyone, including all their family members, would have been supportive and super excited for them from the first time romantic feelings manifested. This kind of ongoing weakness drives me nuts! Third, the lack of communication was so juvenile. And Mindy.she let him mistreat and neglect her feelings for years with no backbone. I know Sawyer had issues to work through but dang, he was horrible to Mindy for so much of this story.

Second, I didn’t know who I wanted to strangle more in this book.Sawyer or Mindy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Raoden, the Prince of Arelon, is taken by the Shaod and thrust into the living hell that is Elantris however, he refuses to abandon his humanity and seeks to improve the state of affairs within Elantris.

The Painting: This idiosyncratic treatment of the highly popular theme of the Adoration of the Magi stresses discontinuities of time and space, and juxtaposes the extraordinary wealth of the magi with poor peasants and shepherds.

Plus, even great people have those moments. She has only been independent a few months. I know some will feel like she wobbles with her confidence, but we should remember she is young. Even Auroara who has moments of self doubt is not someone that is taken lightly. Other than the Locke Queen, every other female is powerful, self sufficient, and head strong.
