The EPIX drama is based on Ben Macintyre's non-fiction history book of the same name, and creator Steven Knight told Newsweek how he used Macintyre's work and also met with one of the original SAS members, Mike Sadler (played by Tom Glynn-Carney in the show), to tell the unit's story in the drama. Stirling, Paddy Mayne and Jock Lewes were three of the groups founding members, with Lewes acting as the training officer, while Mayne helped lead the team alongside Stirling, before taking over the unit. It focused on operating behind enemy lines to attack the armed forces of the Axis powers. In real life, the SAS was founded by Scottish British army officer David Stirling, played by Connor Swindells, with the unit operating as a commando unit within the British Army. ![]() Rogue Heroes is based on the creation of the real Special Air Service during World War II in 1941. ![]() Alfie Allen, Connor Swindells and Jack O'Connell in as Jock Lewes, David Stirling and Paddy Mayne in "Rogue Heroes," which tells the true story of the founding of the British Army's Special Air Service unit during World War II. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But I also think it often does a great job in balancing its over-the-top violence and love for humanity with a genuine love for its characters, and its commitment to developing the bond between Harley and Ivy is genuinely great, not as exploitative or titillating as one might expect from the outside: their love for each other is critical to the story’s narrative and its overall plot structure. I think sometimes in its attempt to be audaciously funny, it’s casually offensive in ways that could be easily avoided with care while still making people laugh. Armaan Babu: I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time! Partly ‘cause Harley Quinn Season 3 is taking such a long time to get here, but also because while I’ve been reading this series digitally and you have just caught up with the physical release, so I’m dying to know your thoughts, Cassie! Before we begin, though, I feel it’s worth asking – how much of a fan are you of the animated series this book springs from?Ĭassie Tongue: I have a not-uncomplicated relationship with the animated series. ![]() ![]() In fact, no one takes her seriously as a woman at all, especially not the man of her dreams, Travis Ford. Georgie is the youngest of three siblings and though she’s now twenty-three, she feels like she’s still the “little kid.” No one takes her seriously as an entrepreneur who owns her birthday clown business. Their reunion consists of Georgie storming into his gross apartment and flinging expired lo mein at his bare ass. While Bailey’s writing and the fake relationship trope were what drew me to this book, my enjoyment was greatly offset by a trope that is my anti-catnip: the off limits best friend’s sister.īaseball player Travis Ford has returned home to Port Jefferson to hide out and essentially wallow in self-pity after experiencing a career ending injury, but his best friend’s little sister Georgie Castle refuses to let him be a sad sack. It has cute small town vibes, renovation elements, and a fake relationship. ![]() ![]() Theme: Crush, Off Limits Sibling or Friend, Renovation Romanceįix Her Up by Tessa Bailey is the first book in a new contemporary romance series about the inhabitants of Port Jefferson, Long Island. ![]() ![]() ![]() Part Tom Sawyer, part Jane Eyre, by the end of Anne of Green Gables, Anne has become the heroine of her own story. Intelligent, hot-headed as her own red hair, unwilling to take a moral truth as read until she works it out for herself, she must also face grief and loss and learn the true meaning of love. ![]() We see her grow from a girl to a young woman of sixteen, making her mistakes, and not always learning from them. Thus begins a story of transformation for all three indeed the whole rural community of Avonlea comes under Anne's influence in some way. She erupts into the lives of aging brother and sister Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, a girl instead of the boy they had sent for. Anne Shirley is an eleven-year-old orphan who has hung on determinedly to an optimistic spirit and a wildly creative imagination through her early deprivations. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The point of this type of story is to let readers know what the narrator has learned from the experience. Given Will’s age at the time of the events (14) and his first-person narration, I expected Cold Sassy Tree would be a typical coming-of-age story. Will lets us know on the opening page that he’s telling the story eight years after the fact. Along the way he paints a vivid picture of what life was like in rural Georgia at the turn of the twentieth century, with highlights such as the arrival of automobiles and the social tension between the “lintheads” who work in the cotton mills and the merchants and professionals who live on their own side of the tracks. In Cold Sassy Tree Will narrates how the scandal played out in this small town. The announcement causes a scandal in the town of Cold Sassy, Georgia, since Grandma Blakeslee has been dead only three weeks and Miss Simpson is half Grandpa’s age, and a Yankee. Grandpa then informs the family that he intends to marry Miss Love Simpson. On July 5, 1906, Grandpa Blakeslee instructs his grandson, 14-year-old Will Tweedy, to summon relatives to a family meeting. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, stay tuned for not only my review of Wicked Fox, but also some Wicked Fox-patterned wallpapers & their meanings! Wicked Fox Digital WallpapersĪHH! I’ve been working on these for a while, and I’m so glad everything came together! I’m personally really proud of these, but there’s no pressure to use (or like) them ahaha!Īll of the elements are original and created by me on Illustrator (and Pixlr for the Miyoung). ![]() ![]() I’m absolutely dying for the sequel (the epilogue oh my gosh!!!) and I would highly recommend this contemporary fantasy romance, inspired by Korean mythology and folklore & set in Seoul, to anyone who loves romance with a kick. The love interest, Jihoon, is so charming(seriously! what a charmer!) and Miyoung (who’s a gumiho!) is so conflicted & complex, I love her. ![]() I’ve been craving some romance, and this totally pulled through on that front. Wicked Fox was such a great read, and I devoured it all in one day. I’ve been working on all the illustrations for it for months, and I’m just overjoyed to bring everything to you! It’s been A Struggle to keep things quiet, but I’m just so happy I finally get to share it all with you! I’ve had this post planned for–whatfeelslike–ever, and *primal screams* ![]() ![]() I have emotional bonds to these characters - I feel empathy. I can see the planning, the carefully crafted sequence of events, the entire beautiful world that has been created for this series and I am in love with it. What frustrates me endlessly is that I can see exactly where the Author is trying to go and everything that she is doing. Unfortunately it was only at the 40% mark that this happened but with the size of the book at least there was still about 300 pages of good reading for me to go! ![]() When this book hit it's stride, it really got going and I was back in my comfort zone. I have only just realised how long this book was - 552 pages! It was a good thing - as I am seriously hooked on this series and there was a long wind up in this one where I was wondering if I was even reading the same series by the same Author. However, even though the book (and entire series in fact) has it's ups and downs for me, I am so addicted. This one was frustrating! I want to rate it highly, and yet it's a max 3.5 star read for me. Actual rating 3.5 stars - I more than liked it, but I didn't really, really like it.Īaargh. ![]() ![]() ![]() With a title like mine, there’s definitely a lot of room for a cutsy or joke cover, and I really didn’t want that. I did know that I wanted a person on the cover of my book, and I really wanted it to be pretty. ![]() ![]() The book was always really amorphous as far as what it would look like, but I think that was because all I could picture was a cover where you have the protagonist looking back over their shoulder, looking somewhat forlorn.
