Merlin book 1 the lost years5/30/2023 ![]() But for “Star Wars” fans who are still working out the differences between the Republic, the Rebellion and the Resistance, we’ll measure in plain old Earth time.įinn, Rey, C3PO and their pilot pal Poe are reunited in "The Rise of Skywalker." Jonathan Olley/Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures/Lucasfilm/Everett Collection “The Phantom Menace” takes place more than 30 years before this battle. Many “Star Wars” diehards mark the passage of time in the galaxy by the Battle of Yavin, the fateful fight in “A New Hope” in which the first iteration of the Death Star is destroyed. Omitted from this timeline are anthology series like “Star Wars Visions.” ![]() These details are pulled from the official “Star Wars” resources “Ultimate Star Wars” and “Star Wars Character Encyclopedia,” as well as experts from outlets like USA Today and the AV Club. Worry not, padawans: CNN has laid out a comprehensive timeline of the “ Star Wars” canon so you can follow all of the franchise’s time-jumps without getting lost in space. “Andor” is a prequel to “Rogue One,” itself a prequel to “A New Hope.” And the forthcoming Disney+ series “The Acolyte” takes place hundreds of years before the Skywalker saga. “The Mandalorian” is set between the original film trilogy and the latest sequels. ![]() ![]() The problem? All the stories take place at different points of time in the galaxy far, far away. “ Star Wars” fans have much to look forward to in terms of new content. ![]()

Making Magic by Jess Whitecroft5/30/2023 ![]() I’ve been through this scenario too many times to have faith in patterns of poor business models. ![]() ![]() I don’t follow groups, publishers are disappearing, and some continue to behave in a manner I do not and will not support. Finding new authors is becoming next to impossible. I have a few established authors I immediately gravitate toward, then there are new ones I’m glad I’ve ‘discovered’, however that may be. I enjoy discovering gems amongst the myriad books released in a given year. This blog is still going because both Cindi and I obviously have a touch of ‘ crazy’ about us – sorry, Cindi, you know it’s true – and we have a great passion for books. ![]() It’s a long time spent reviewing because, truthfully, it’s a very labour-intensive pastime. 2019 represents seven years of reviews at On Top Down Under Book Reviews. ![]()

Go dog go by pd eastman5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() You need your characters to have flaws that kids to relate to, because no one's perfect. Being nice isn't the only personality trait. The show is fine but not my favorite and I wouldn't watch it everyday because the characters don't seem to written strongly enough, they're all just nice and excitable, which is a huge problem with modern preschool shows. Adam Peltzman helms the show, and he has a great track record of working on preschool shows with clever writing and strong characters like Wallykazam and Odd Squad. The show has a 50s-60s aesthetic, which makes sense because as I said, the book was made in 1961. The characters look happy, expressive, and cuddly. ![]() Plus, the fur on the dogs is very detailed. The animation is bright and colorful, but not eye-bleeding neon. I was cautious because of Wildbrain's involvement because I don't particularly like them, but this show was of surprising quality. Going into "Go Dog Go!" I didn't know what to expect, and I thought it looked rather lame at first. ![]() ![]() With soulless merchandise-driven crap like Mighty Express and Rainbow Rangers being mass-marketed to kids, this show, which is instead based on a book from 1961, was a pleasant surprise. ![]()

Cs lewis 4 kinds of love5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() Nothing so enriches an erotic love as the discovery that the Beloved can deeply, truly and spontaneously enter into Friendship with the Friends you already had to feel that not only are we two united by erotic love but we three or four or five are all travelers on the same quest, have all a common vision.” But you will have no jealousy at all about sharing the Friendship. If one who was first, in the deep and full sense, your Friend, is then gradually or suddenly revealed as also your lover you will certainly not want to share the Beloved’s erotic love with any third. ![]() But this, so far from obliterating the distinction between the two loves, puts it in a clearer light. And conversely, erotic love may lead to Friendship between the lovers. Indeed, unless they are physically repulsive to each other or unless one or both already loves elsewhere, it is almost certain to do so sooner or later. “When the two people who thus discover that they are on the same secret road are of different sexes, the friendship which arises between them will very easily pass – may pass in the first half hour – into erotic love. ![]()

Every summer after by carley fortune5/30/2023 ![]() She’d lived away for nearly two decades, but Barry’s Bay always felt like home. ![]() That May, Fortune packed her young family into the car and made the 3½-hour drive northeast from Toronto to stay with her parents. The journals were a time machine back to her adolescence, spent in the tiny cottage town of Barry’s Bay, Ont. ![]() She was struck by the complicated relationship dynamics, how she and her friends struggled to communicate – and, most of all, the deep desire she had had for a real connection with someone who truly understood her. Stuffed within the pages were notes passed in class, a letter she wrote to a crush but never sent, a message from a best friend breaking up with her. There were 13 of them, stored in two shoeboxes. She decided to dig out her old teenage journals. ![]() In those first tense of weeks of the pandemic back in March, 2020, when so much about the future was unknown, Canadian magazine editor Carley Fortune was feeling nostalgic for the past. ![]()

![]() “Now that I agreed to travel your way,” he shouts over the wind, “you ought to give me something I want. He can’t believe his good fortune, can’t trace the path that got him here. They are two people who ought to have, by all rights, remained enemies forever. He cuts his gaze toward his unpredictable, mortal High Queen, whose wild brown hair is blowing around her face, whose amber eyes are alight when she looks at him. It’s not as though he doesn’t enjoy a little danger, just that he doesn’t gorge himself on it, unlike some people. “I suppose I would have plummeted out of the air,” Jude tells him with troubling equanimity, her expression saying, Horrible risks are entirely normal to me.Ĭardan has to admit that the ragwort steeds are swift and that there is something thrilling about tangling his hand in a leafy mane and racing across the sky. ![]() ![]() “ This is how you traveled? What if the enchantment ended while Vivi wasn’t with you?” This?” he demands, looking down at the waves far beneath them. ![]()
