6/29/2023 0 Comments Bad Monkey by Carl Hiaasen![]() ![]() Once more Hiaason takes comedy and crime to new heights but be prepared this is a deluxe piece as Lance reads so well. I did not want to listen to this rich text in one sitting as like a fine wine you take well savoured sips to fully appreciate it like the hilarious but yet complex story. Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? The storm descends on to the Bahamian island while the main villain struggles in his ever more debilitated state to remain in control of his destiny. The most memorable moment was a very painful scene where said bad monkey bit deep into a certain part of a character's anatomy with side splitting consequences. What was one of the most memorable moments of Bad Monkey? A quirky protagonist, surrounded by even quirkier characters, mired in odd-ball intrigue, in South Florida, of course. ![]() Yes, the audio edition performed by Lance almost put you in the Bahamas amongst the crazy antics of crime and property development. a fun, fast read and a wild ride.' BAD MONKEY is vintage Hiaasen. Would you consider the audio edition of Bad Monkey to be better than the print version? ![]()

Sublime book design exploits the landscape format, with dogged movement from left to right across the double-page spreads. Meanwhile, much of the art follows the big fish on his hunt, creating a pleasing counterpoint with the text. This time, first-person narration follows the thief, whose ego far outstrips his size as he underestimates the big fish’s tracking abilities. ![]() While not a sequel to I Want My Hat Back (2011), the story does include a hat, a thief (a little fish) and a wronged party (a big fish). ![]() Klassen combines spare text and art to deliver no small measure of laughs in another darkly comic haberdashery whodunit. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments War of the worlds george herbert![]() While Chapek may have been an experienced operator capable of generating profits, he was wholly unprepared to become CEO of one of the world’s most public companies. No doubt you risk offending some of your customers, but that is the price you pay for having clear principles. ![]() When you are CEO of one of the world’s most visible and best-loved companies, you have no choice but to take public stands on behalf of your company’s beliefs and your employees–when these stances are core to your brand. ![]() Yet when Chapek became CEO of Disney in February 2020, he pledged not to discuss controversial issues publicly–in sharp contrast with his predecessor Bob Iger, who deftly handled these issues. No doubt DeSantis felt betrayed the following March when Chapek publicly attacked his Parental Rights in Education Act. What implicit understanding did Chapek have with DeSantis? In today’s world, CEOs are expected to speak out on behalf of their employees, their company’s mission, and their values.ĭisney has long been known for its active support of its LGBTQ+ employees and its inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters in its movies. ![]() In exchange, DeSantis agreed that Disney would receive $578 million in tax breaks from the state of Florida. ![]() In July 2021, Disney’s new CEO Bob Chapek announced the company would move its theme park headquarters and 2,000 employees from Burbank, California to Lake Nona Florida, investing $864 million in its new office complex.

Not just with their particular kink, but Win is a self-proclaimed asshole, and Ash knows just how to handle him. I really love how well-matched Win and Ash are. ![]() Prince Charming is book two in this series, and I am happy to report it was a solid book that was more than just filler.įrom a plot perspective, not a ton happened in this book, but from a character perspective, we see Win finally realize what has been clear to us all, his feelings for Ash.

I can’t blame him for making me fall in love. He’s never pretended to be anything other than that. Irrevocably.īut Winston isn’t a lover, he’s a business venture. I keep playing his twisted games, and I want to stay just as distant as he is. He’s right in front of me, but he’s just as remote as my dreams of getting away from my stepbrothers. I crave him so badly I think I might be losing my mind.

Mercer’s generous offer inspired Heile to augment the donation of new books on the shelf. But Mercer said, “I spend plenty on stuff I do not need!! This is something that benefits our entire community not to mention our future!!” I feel very strongly they benefited from that and many years later they have been successful because of the time spent reading with them.” Heile explained to Mercer that all 25 books would cost $300 and perhaps she could donate a portion. Mercer said, “I have read to my boys since before they were born. Within minutes, Kristina Mercer contacted Heile about purchasing the books.

I typed my clues, but you can hand write them as well. It’s very flexible! The only materials I used were paper, scissors, and tape. You can also do this activity with a smaller shelf, books laid out on a table, span it across multiple shelves in the house, or hide individual books around the entire house. In addition to books, I used objects on the shelves. This 9 clue hunt was designed for my 9 year old daughter. The biggest bookshelves are in our living room, so I set my treasure hunt there. A treasure hunt begins with an initial clue, which leads to more clues that proceed in sequential order to a final prize. ![]() ![]() A scavenger hunt involves finding a specific list of items on the shelves (ex: “A blue book” or “A book with a person’s name in the title”). Best of all, this journey can be adjusted to any age level, requires no special materials, and is very budget friendly!īefore we proceed, it’s important to make the distinction between a bookshelf scavenger hunt and a bookshelf treasure hunt. Have bookshelf, will adventure! Even the smallest shelf can be used to create clues leading to a final treasure. ![]() |
