While he didn’t make the 16-car playoff cut - finishing 21st in the standings - the year was a first for both Wallace and Jordan. The 29-year-old is currently the only full-time Black driver in the Cup series, and was the team’s standalone driver during its debut season. Wallace was the first name Jordan called when he announced the 23XI race team with Denny Hamlin in 2021. The crinkle of a McDonald’s bag echoes through the speaker during our phone interview as Wallace continues on his sixth full-time season in the NASCAR Cup Series. The expectations for this run are stacked, and having Michael Jordan as your boss doesn’t help, either. The road to Atlanta stretches before Bubba Wallace and his wife, Amanda, as they drive their hulking RV into the Georgia sky.

Though the dastardly fiends don't appear to be dark sorcerers, they certainly have mysterious powers almost impossible to resist. A visit to the kingdom by villainous, alabaster-skinned desert people leaves the kingdom in danger from a wicked seductress and her brother, a malicious goon who tortures his own henchmen for kicks and giggles. Every time she sees him, Alexa is struck with such blinding physical pain-in her chest, stomach, gut and skull-that readers might wonder if she should visit a doctor. Alexa has told Damian she doesn't love him, convinced that a relationship would destroy her beloved king (she feels she’d be bad for him, for no apparent reason beyond her disfiguring scars). Though Damian relies on her completely as a soldier and adviser, the awkwardness between the pair encroaches on their every interaction. A girl fighter fights evil in a midseries time filler.ĭisfigured by scars and outed as a girl, superb sword fighter Alexa is King Damian's most valued guard. Doubt, blame, and anger spread faster than the flames-flames that are fanned by the new minister, who seems fonder of fire and brimstone than love and mercy. Even Judd has been working to improve his reputation.īut just as the townsfolk grow more accepting of Judd, a fire in the woods destroys many homes, including Judd’s, and Judd’s newly formed reputation. Anywhere Marty goes, the beagle’s at his side, and Marty couldn’t be happier about that. It’s been a year since Marty Preston rescued Shiloh from Judd Travers and his cruel ways, and since then, Marty and Shiloh have been inseparable. A rescued beagle and his boy owner seek love and understanding for their troubled small town in this holiday companion to the Newbery Medal–winning Shiloh, from Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.Ĭhristmas is coming and Marty and his rescued pup Shiloh are sure glad about that-for their town is running low on love and understanding and they hope that the joy of the holiday will bring with it the generosity of spirit that’s so lacking. The words are perfection the characters even more so. Walker paints a quiet picture of two men nurturing their relationship and overcoming obstacles. I love how Charlie doted on Travis, how desperately he wanted to keep Travis, even as he pushed him away. Travis is patient, loving, a little snarky, and sweet. The red dirt is ever present, another character in this gorgeous story. The way he held me, the way he looked at me, it was the closest to heaven I'd ever get without dyin'. And on the cold, cold ground by the flickering warmth of the fire, we made love. We rocked back and forth, always kissing. This is an extraordinary book about ordinary things: working together, loving together talking out the big, and little, things reconciling differences shopping for supplies building a garden bed dealing with immigration bureaucracy. You can have the shopping and hairdresser, but on the account of loving dick and arse, I'd say very gay.Ĭharlie is so convinced Travis will leave him that when the possibility actually arises, he can barely make sense of it. He feels bound but isn't sure what binds him. As real life encroaches, Charlie has to grow into the man he's supposed to be. Charlie and Travis are back so are Ma, George, Billy, Greg, and Bacon, as well as some new faces (not all of them human!). It takes more than John’s wily charms to persuade Justin: It is only when he realizes that the welfare of the woman he serves, Eleanor of Aquitaine, is also at risk that Justin concedes. John must find the forger and prove the document false before Richard hears of it, and he entreats Justin to help him. Still, a brother who looked with amiable contempt at John’s earlier intrigues would hardly risk regicide. The document is a forgery, and, despite his hunger for the crown, John is innocent of the charge. But now John tells him of a document implicating him in a plot to kill his brother, King Richard. As the Queen’s man, de Quincy has already encountered John’s murderous side.

No longer requiring Ma's services as a caretaker for her sons, Nelson and Godfrey, Aunt Paula creates a job for Ma at her garment factory. Kim believes that Paula did this on purpose, and that she must know how bad the apartment is. They're both shocked to see that the apartment is filthy and infested with bugs. Aunt Paula and Uncle Bob drop Ma and Kim off at their new apartment, which is in a rundown neighborhood. When the girl's father walks in, Kim feels as though her heart is breaking.
