This is technically just a preseason game, but it’s against Candlehawk Prep, our rival high school, and right now we’re trailing them by eighteen points. The opposing team grabs the rebound and my ears burn as I run back to play defense on the other side of the court. The ball is usually so controlled in my hands, but tonight it’s like I’m chucking a giant potato through a wind tunnel. I play shooting guard, so I’m supposed to, you know, shoot, but this is the third time I’ve taken a shot that hasn’t even touched the rim. It’s almost as humiliating as the air ball I lobbed up a second ago. “No more shots! Give the ball to someone else!” She’s only using my last name because she can’t remember my first name. “Zajac!” Coach screams, waving wildly at me. You would think, based on the fact that I’ve played varsity basketball for three years now, that I know how to score a basket.

Sales are slow at Three Sisters Biryani Poutine, the only halal restaurant in the close-knit Golden Crescent neighbourhood.

Yeah, it's a power-fantasy as he gains more and more overpowered skills, but Gonnella is incredibly creative and the challenges never felt stale or random. A fortuitous find or two impels him on his way, as does the occasional system-bestowed quest.Įventually, he meets up with adventurers who wonder why he doesn't know so many obvious things, but who can at least appreciate his can of whoop-ass a can with a screw-top lid because he is forever opening it on bad guys. Over time, he gains some comfort with his survival capabilities and begins branching out. At least he's enough of a gamer to go for powerleveling the important skills like run, jump, dodge, and hit things with a stick. The first part of the book is Felix making his way in a land where everything is more powerful than he is, even the insects. I'm glad Gonnella didn't lean into the gross on that and that this mechanic became interesting instead. And his instinct to bite the tentacle that squoze him lands him with a nifty Gourmand skill where he can eat monsters to gain skills. An interesting isekai LitRPG with Felix landing in a hostile world with a race chosen for him and skills he doesn't understand. My gifted wife, Jean, worked with me, and as one of the most intuitive people I have ever met, proved to be a great help to me. It came together as I worked on patients daily, finding out what worked, discarding what didn’t, and learning everything I could about any sort of healing method my colleagues were using, and from ancient texts on healing as well. The Emotion Code is a healing method that I developed in my small holistic clinic in Southern California in the early 1990s. I was directed to go into the healing arts by a very powerful and clear answer to prayer, at a time when I was asking for help from above to determine the direction my life should take. And it is coming into the world at a time when it is desperately needed. I very sincerely believe that this healing method comes from above, from the divine source of all truth. I’ve often said that all the experiences of my life have prepared me to bring this simple and beautiful tool into the world. It has been immensely gratifying to witness the amazing growth and acceptance that energy healing has experienced since The Emotion Code was first published in 2007. Nothing was how I expected it to be once I got past the safety of that first chapter, and it utterly thrilled me.įor example, the main character, Agnieszka, begins the book being clumsy, messy, and afraid. The story is dark and woven with magic and mystery, and it kept me guessing throughout. It doesn’t sound exciting at all when you say it that way, but trust me, that’s only chapter one, and from there onwards Naomi Novik turns all preconceptions of the plot on its head. He takes the awkward, plain girl instead. Everyone expects the lord to choose the beautiful, clever, and multi-talented best friend of said girl, but, shockingly, he does not. The premise was one that felt familiar to me as a lover of both folklore and fantasy novels a plain, village girl who lives on the outskirts of an enchanted and dangerous forest faces an enforced selection day by the local lord to live for ten years in his service. I found the echoes of those stories throughout Uprooted, worked artfully through the plot, the language, and the characters, and I fell in love. She put me to bed with myths and legends of the Black Forest and the stories of the Brothers Grimm, and not the nice, cutesy versions, either. I grew up on old, Germanic fairy-tales, courtesy of my Grandma who lived near Hamelin for almost twenty years. He spoke near my ear, a deep chuckle in his voice, “I’ll be taking Sam with me to school.” Mason slid me down his body and kept his arms around me. “On that note.” An arm slid underneath my waist and I was lifted from him. Before I knew what he was doing, he had rushed over to me, and I was thrown over his shoulder. They think a lawsuit is a pansy way to deal with a fight.” Logan’s hand was still on him, and he used it to push up from the ground in a semi-skip. “I needed to make sure he stayed down … and to make sure that I won’t get sued.” A brief glimmer of regret crossed his face, but it was gone instantly. “What were you going to do? You hopped out of your car like you were going to take a bat to him.” “You have.” Logan kept chuckling, turning to see me. I’ve recently learned that I’ve been a dick lately.” Nate’s shoulder tensed under his hand, but he shrugged. |
