The reader gets to travel with Emika as she discovers new clues and information to piece together the big mystery: who is Zero? I was, however, a little disappointed in the reveal of Zero’s character. One of my favorite parts of this book are the many unexpected twists, as well as the sort of detective aspect of the story. Rather than punishing her for her crime, he enlists her help to take down Zero, the cunning hacker whose goal is to take down Warcross for good. All this changes when she hacks into the biggest online event in the world, known as Warcross, and reveals her identity to the creator of the game, Hideo Tanaka. ![]() She lives as a shadow, unnoticed and given little to no thought. The story revolves around a girl named Emika, who lives in New York City and is struggling to make money as a bounty hunter/hacker. Like Marie Lu’s Legend series, this novel is exciting, surprising, suspenseful, and overall one of my favorite books of all time. Warcross is a science fiction book written by Marie Lu. ![]() ![]() ![]() Fitzgerald recreates this particular time in German history with a delicacy that, despite the language and sometimes confusing names, makes the people become real. The chapters are concise and this encouraged me to ‘just read another’ and so, gradually, almost without realizing, I fell into the story. The Blue Flower is a short novel, 223 pages. He is a young man so self-contained, so absorbed in his thoughts, that I wondered where the drama would arise. Set in 18 th century Germany, Fitzgerald tells her imagining of the teenage story of real German poet and philosopher Fritz von Hardenberg, later called Novalis. For someone about to read it, it can seem a trifle intimidating. When I bought it, I didn’t realize it was the last novel by the Booker prize winner published five years before her death in 2000 aged 83. If ever there is a book to persevere with, to have patience with, and to go back and re-read again, it is The Blue Flower by Penelope Fitzgerald. ![]() ![]() ![]() Siddhartha Quotes With Page Numbers Chapter 2 Everything else was seeking - a detour, an error.” “One must find the source within one’s own Self, one must possess it. “…and the vessel was not full, his intellect was not satisfied, his soul was not at peace, his heart was not still.” ~Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha, The Brahmin’s Son, Dreams and a restlessness of the soul came to him.” “Dreams and restless thoughts came flowing to him from the river, from the twinkling stars at night, from the sun’s melting rays. ![]() Part 1: Siddhartha Quotes With Page Numbers Chapter 1 Siddhartha Quotes With Page Numbers Chapter 12.Siddhartha Quotes With Page Numbers Chapter 11.Siddhartha Quotes With Page Numbers Chapter 10.Siddhartha Quotes With Page Numbers Chapter 9.Siddhartha Quotes With Page Numbers Chapter 8.Siddhartha Quotes With Page Numbers Chapter 7.Siddhartha Quotes With Page Numbers Chapter 6. ![]() ![]() ![]() Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves. ![]() However, when tragedy strikes Anna’s family she takes on a role that she is ill-suited for, until the burden of expectations threatens to destroy her. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second, and their third, because being with Quan is more than sex-he accepts Anna on an unconditional level that she herself has just started to understand. That’s where tattooed, motorcycle-riding Quan Diep comes in. The more unacceptable the men, the better. Translation: She’s going to embark on a string of one-night stands. And when her longtime boyfriend announces he wants an open relationship before making a final commitment, a hurt and angry Anna decides that if he wants an open relationship, then she does, too. When violinist Anna Sun accidentally achieves career success with a viral YouTube video, she finds herself incapacitated and burned out from her attempts to replicate that moment.
