Soon afterwards, Sparta’s enemies started dying of the plague. ![]() The Spartans had cannily supplicated the god and he in return had promised victory. Thucydides, the Athenian historian, has a simple explanation for the epidemic: Apollo. Seven centuries later a plague struck Periclean Athens, killing a quarter of the city’s population and setting the city-state on a path to military defeat at the hands of Sparta. Dean Koontz's novel 'The Eyes of Darkness' (1981) made reference to a killer virus called “Wuhan-400” When the Greeks make amends and sacrifice sheep and goats to Apollo, the plague is cured. ![]() The plague lasts nine days, brief by modern epidemiological standards. The god manifests his displeasure by firing his arrows of contagion into their camp. In Homer’s Iliad, the Greeks disrespect one of Apollo’s priests. ![]() ![]() ![]() Complimentary Tracking and Insurance for purchase price of item.

Over the course of those four days, many of the passengers developed friendships with Gander residents that they expect to last a lifetime. A middle school provided showers, as well as access to computers, email, and televisions, allowing the passengers to stay in touch with family and follow the news. Linens and toiletries were bought and donated. Local bus drivers who had been on strike came off the picket lines to transport the passengers to the various shelters set up in local schools and churches. The citizens of Gander met the stranded passengers with an overwhelming display of friendship and goodwill.Īs the passengers stepped from the airplanes, exhausted, hungry and distraught after being held on board for nearly 24 hours while security checked all of the baggage, they were greeted with a feast prepared by the townspeople. ![]() airspace on September 11, the population of this small town on Newfoundland Island swelled from 10,300 to nearly 17,000.

The first book in the Shady Hollow series, in which we are introduced to the village of Shady Hollow, a place where woodland creatures live together in harmonyuntil a curmudgeonly toad turns up dead and the local reporter has to solve the case. ![]() There are also cozy mysteries for whatever kind of hobby you’re into: gardening, crafting, hand-lettering stationery, and a whole lot more! While there are usually some deaths and murders in cozy mysteries, they’re not graphic or gory, making these the perfect spring reads to take along to outdoor picnics or family gatherings to jump in and out of. Until, that is, a sharp fox reporter named Vera Vixen moves in and trouble follows. They’re filled with fun and light mysteries, interesting locations, and plucky protagonists ready to solve the case (and usually end up in some sticky situations along the way). Shady Hollow is a quaint village where very little happens to its animal inhabitants. The change of seasons also always gets me excited to read new books, and cozy mysteries are the perfect books for the season. Longer days, flower buds on trees, and the grass coming to life are all things that bring so much happiness to me. If you’re anything like me, you are ecstatic the weather is starting to turn and it’s finally feeling like spring. ![]() ![]() ![]() But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, and dark forces become poised to claim her world, the only chance for salvation will lie in a desperate quest that may mark the end of everything Aelin holds dear.Īs a practiced reader, I often find that series begin to die off towards the middle/end of the series, picking up only for the grand finale. ![]() Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves at odds with those who don’t. With her heart sworn to the warrior-prince by her side, and her fealty pledged to the people she is determined to save, Aelin will delve into the depths of her power to protect those she loves.

I, like many other readers, have been eagerly awaiting the release of Empire of Storms for well on a year now, and the wait was certainly worth it!

If you would like to read a spoiler free review for Empire of Storms, click here. This is a full review of Empire of Storms by Sarah J Maas. ![]() ![]() Yes, though there's a contrary sentiment of wanting to savour it (familiar to every reader?). Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? No doubt a large part of this is the authors skill, but I will always somehow connect this with the dramatic portrayal of the protagonist. Her narration brings out the 'cold' and unforgiving nature of the events of the past as against the familiar present and finally brings out the uncertainty of the present that needs and leads to (unpleasant?) resolution. She successfully alternates between past and present, clearly bringing out the flavour of the times. What does Rosamund Pike bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book? The escape through the parking lot in Europe after the 'double cross'. What was one of the most memorable moments of Restless? Simply the best audiobook I've 'read' so far. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend?
