When I read Frightful's Mountain it reminded me of raising the salmon because both the book and the raising of the salmon taught me that we need to protect our endangered species and all of the other animals from becoming extinct. When I was in fourth grade our class raised salmon so we could learn about them because they were endangered here in the state of Washington. Sam lives in a tree house on a mountain where he likes to watch Frightful and many other creatures. It is about a peregrine falcon named Frightful and a boy named Sam who loves peregrine falcons.

However, the book is above all a fast-paced action thriller that strongly reminded me of books by Tom Clancy, Vince Flynn, Lee Child, and David Baldacci. And there are too many obstacles thrown their way. The slow-burn love is delicious, and the two main characters push the reader yearning for more, for a happy ending despite all the obstacles. ![]() Why almost taboo?

Promises and Pomegranates is a full-length, standalone, dark contemporary romance inspired by the framework/characters from the Hades and Persephone myth. The reason behind doing such a challenge is likely tied to 9INE being the first Polish team to qualify for a CS:GO Major in nearly five years. ![]() ![]() The Empress's rise to power (even during her husband's life) parallels the story of China's transition from the ancient to the modern way.
