Of the prose, the story is quite captivating as we learn both the history of Willy Wonka and his reclusive factory, but also the miserable reality of Charlie Bucket and his family. Which I think even adults would also want to devour themselves if they were walking around that mysterious company. Which the author condemns through the Oompa-Loompas’ excellent songs as the factory’s inventive machines and candies reveal the true nature of those who succumb to their temptations. Attitudes that parents are in general responsible for various reasons, either out of irresponsible parenting or by displaying such actions to their children. Gluttony, insolence, greed, and a craving for violence. Through this story, Roald Dahl displays to us different rotten behaviors children can exhibit. A story that also continues in the sequel, Charlie and the Glass Elevator, in which Charlie’s family has a more serious involvement in. Alongside four other children and their parent, Charlie, with his grandfather, uncovers a world of sweets and danger that will test each of the boys and girls in their group. Indeed, this novel details how the little pauper Charlie Bucket wins a contest to visit the chocolate factory of the reclusive Mr. ![]() ![]() No only can a beautifully printed book by itself be art, but more remarkably, many books actually contain original works of art, such as lithographs, etchings, woodcuts, engravings and more.

I want to write about relationships – between my MCs, between friends and between teammates. It’s a vital part of their being, and so to really believe in their happy ending, I want it to be with hockey along with their love interest. The life of a professional athlete is incredibly grueling, and many of these people have been doing little else since childhood. Of course I want my characters to have their HEA with their love interest (even if I have to put them through the wringer to get there!) But I need to make sure my characters – who are playing in the lowest level league of professional hockey because they love the game so much – have an HEA with their sport, too. While the ECHL is a professional hockey league, it’s a completely different world from the majors and it brings its own set of challenges for my characters – everything from a hectic schedule, sub-par facilities and (because it’s the south) low-attendance that constantly threatens the security of a team. My series, Scoring Chances, is set amidst the lives of queer minor league hockey players and coaches in the southern United States. As a queer person, and a writer of sports romance, this is obviously a subject near and dear to my heart. ![]() ![]() Hi! I’m Avon Gale, and I’m here today to talk a little about queer representation in sports romance. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But it will also strike a chord with anyone who's ever been a confused, lonely teenager who clashes with their mother, takes themselves VERY seriously and has no idea how hilarious they are. My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary will appeal to anyone who's lived through the 1980s. ![]() My Fat, Mad Teenage Diary evokes a vanished time when Charles and Di are still together, the Berlin wall is up, Kylie is expected to disappear from the charts at any moment and it's £1 for a Snakebite and Black in the Vaults pub. This is the hilarious and touching real-life diary she kept during that fateful year - with characters like her evil friend Bethany, Bethany's besotted boyfriend, and the boys from the grammar school up the road (who have code names like Haddock and Battered Sausage). It's 1989 and Rae is a fat, boy-mad 17-year-old girl, living in Stamford, Lincolnshire with her mum and their deaf white cat in a council house with a mint off-green bath suite and a larder Rae can't keep away from. ![]() ![]() ![]() Roger and Bree will probably time travel for real. (Oh, and all of the spoilers are here, FYI.) ![]() ![]() Here, a few of the major ones that could show up on your screen in season six. And anyway, A Breath of Snow and Ashes is, in true Outlander fashion, so incredibly long (the paperback version is over 1,000 pages!) that there’s plenty of story lines to choose from. That’s a good thing! The TV series should be able to surprise people no matter their familiarity with the books. With season five, which was mostly based on Diana Gabaldon’s fifth book in the Outlander series, dipping into book six, A Breath of Snow and Ashes, for some major story lines, the job of predicting what might make the jump from page to screen in season six gets a little tougher. That’s not a knock! Adaptations should be exactly that: based off the source material but not completely bound to it, especially if something makes more or less sense narratively on television than it does in a novel. Out of all the seasons of Outlander, season five looks to have made the most significant book-to-TV changes thus far. ![]() ![]() I deleted every speck of social media to keep the maniacal look in their eyes out of my head when I didn’t have to be at school, and the absolute rage that lack of contact unleashed in the Heathers was terrifying. Unfortunately, given the Council’s decree that I attend Apex rather than get killed for emerging as prey, I don’t have a choice in the matter, and my classmates know it. You’d think that would have me running as far away from Apex Academy as my thumpers could carry me. My former besties and ex-boyfriend filled my days with cruel pranks, dangerous threats, and promises that, once I got to Apex, the ban on killing underclassmen would lift. After the events at prom in the spring, when I emerged as a bunny instead of a predator, I was a pariah at Shifter Secondary. It’s my first day at Apex Academy, and I need every ounce of encouragement I can get. My hands drum on the steering wheel of my vintage Mustang as I dance along, hair whipping in the breeze as the convertible takes the curves far better than a car of this age should. I crank the music to max volume as I speed down the highway. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences, as described in the Cookie Notice. ![]() Click ‘Customise Cookies’ to decline these cookies, make more detailed choices, or learn more.
