The Best of Jack’s Winning Words 12/11/23 – posts made to his blog by the late Pastor Jack Freed, now being reposted by his son.“A candle of God’s goodness can serve as a beacon of hope for those navigating dark passages of their lives.” (Hanukkah Quote) One thing that Hanukkah and Christmas have in common is a message of HOPE.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’ve Read So Far In 2015 and loved!
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish wherein each week bloggers list out their Top Ten. We are halfway through the year! So let’s look back on the books I loved in 2015 so far: Legend and Prodigy by Marie Lu I really loved the world Marie Lu created – it was wonderful and I devoured these two book in two days. Sadly, I haven’t gotten around to getting the finale,…
1. What is this series? What are the books called and what order do they go in? 2. By "trippy multiverse horror" do you mean very horrifying horror or just ehhh kinda creepy horror? 3. I'm guessing this was a good series and I should read it???
SIT DOWN MY DAUGHTER ALLOW ME TO EDUCATE YOU BRIEFLY
series title: the Dark Passages
author: Ilsa J. Bick
book #1: White Space
book #2: The Dickens Mirror
rating: 5 BILLION OUT OF TEN AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY
THERE ARE ONLY TWO BOOKS (and tbh i preferred book#1) BUT OH MY LORD THOSE TWO BOOKS
AIGHT SO PRETTY MUCH ALL WRITERS, AT SOME POINT, HAVE CONSIDERED THE FACT THAT THEY DON’T WRITE EVERY MOMENT OF THEIR CHARACTERS’ LIVES. THINGS HAPPEN BETWEEN THE SCENES… IN THE /white space/. HERE, THAT’S WHERE CHARACTERS GET UP TO STUFF.
THIS SERIES PRETTY MUCH HAS NO REALITY OKAY MULTIVERSE IS REALITY
EVERY MOMENT’S UNIVERSE IS A /now/ AND PEOPLE’S NOW(S) ARE IN THEIR UNIVERSES BUT THEY ALSO HAVE DOPPLEGANGERS IN OTHER UNIVERSES TOO
ANYWAY MAIN CHARACTER EMMA HOPS AROUND IN PEOPLE’S HEADS SOMETIMES, REFERS TO IT AS A /blink/. THEN SHE WRITES A STORY FOR A CLASS AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE ALMOST A WORD-FOR-WORD COPY FOR AN UNFINISHED MANUSCRIPT OF A WRITER. AND EMMA HAS BEEN IN THE HEAD OF HIS YOUNG DAUGHTER, LIZZIE.
SO EMMA’S FREAKING, AND THEN SHE’S OUT DRIVING IN THIS SNOWSTORM, CRASHES, AND IS HELPED BY………….. ERIC, A CHARACTER FROM THAT STORY SHE WROTE, BUT WHO WASN’T IN THE ORIGINAL.
BUT ERIC HAS A BROTHER, CASEY, THAT EMMA /didn’t/ WRITE, AND OTHER PEOPLE START TO SHOW UP IN THE SNOWSTORM TOO, RIMA AND TONY AND BODE AND CHAD AND LIZZIE
note: RIMA CAN SENSE AND COMMUNICATE WITH THE /whispers/ OF DEAD PEOPLE, SHE’S SMART AND SWEET AND LOYAL AND GENEROUS BUT ALSO TAKES NO SHIT AND I ADORE HER WHOLEHEARTEDLY
note: CASEY STARTS OFF REALLY ROUGH BUT HE’S REALLY A GOOD LOVELY ANGEL BABY AND I LOVE HIM TOO WHAT A BLESSING
ANYWAY BASICALLY THE RULES OF THE UNIVERSE CHANGE AND THE VIOLENCE IS BEAUTIFULLY HORRIFIC AND TEARS YOU APART IN ALL THE RIGHT WAYS
PEOPLE LIVE
PEOPLE DIE
IN MULTIPLE UNIVERSES
WHAT IS REAL??? IDFK IT’S HELLA TRIPPY AND WONDERFUL
THIS AUTHOR KNOWS HOW TO PLAY WITH WORDS, HOW TO GET EVERYTHING JUST RIGHT ON EVERY LEVEL
AND ANYWAY WHEN I SAY HORROR I MEAN HORROR BUT IT’S MIXED IN SO WELL WITH ALL THE STUFF GOING ON, IT DOESN’T FEEL CONTRIVED OR SLASHER-Y EXCEPT WHEN IT’S SUPPOSED TO
