When I was a freshman, Liam was a junior. This is my second year at Kingston University. He smirks at me, and I wonder if his expression is supposed to make me swoon. Coffee has never been my thing, and I have no idea how people choke it down. I have them put it in one of the to-go coffee cups so no one knows that I’m drinking hot chocolate, heavy on the marshmallows. I always buy one so I don’t feel bad occupying one of the tables. Mine ends around twenty minutes before hers does, so I’m always here.īecause this is my spot? I push my glasses up my nose and take a drink of my cocoa so I don’t have to speak more. Why is he even here? I'm going to have to find a new spot to kill time while I wait for Lexi to get out of her class. He’s wearing his jersey again today, and I’m starting to wonder if he owns any other shirts. H ow did I know I’d find you here? Liam says as he drops down in the little metal chair next to mine.

But that's heartbreaking too, and Eve gets to see firsthand what the pregnancies her father is mandating is doing to the actual women. Too bad her friends were, and Eve gets to see them again in this book. Though she sees a softer side of him at times, it's not enough to make up for what he's done with the girls at the schools, something that Eve was nearly a victim of. Now that she's had a chance to met her father (who's actually the ruler of New America, whom she despises), she realizes that he cannot stay in power. I just couldn't believe that he was actually dead, but Carey made it very clear that he was dead, which broke my heart all over again. Both Eve and Caleb stole my heart, and then Anna Carey broke it when Caleb was killed at the end of Once after her and Caleb made love.

Skies sounded good, so I put the book on my lengthy “to-read” list, but didn’t get around the reading Skies until I saw a copy at the local library a week or so ago. One Sunday I treated myself to one of life’s great pleasures – the Sunday New York Times. The book review section discussed The Skies Belong to Us. Review – Back in summer 2013, I was spending some time out at Orange Beach, Alabama. Surprisingly, Koerner balances the two topics well and – as a result – the book is terrific. Second, Skies is a general overview of the rise and fall of skyjacking from the 1950s to the 1970s. First, author Brendan Koerner tells the story of a bizarre, successful 1972 skyjacking.
