 This week, three books I had had on hold for weeks or even months all showed up at the library. What to do? Each must be returned within three weeks, and they are all so popular that I can't renew them. I decided to start with Gin Phillips' Fierce Kingdom, which is about a mother and her four-year-old son who are trapped at the zoo when a shooting breaks out. Oh. My. GOD. What a great book! It has been forever since I fell headlong into a book. Reading it was like a fever dream. I didn't edit in my head, didn't question word choices. I just loved it. It was like being a kid again, when books were pure magic and I didn't even know there were tricks tucked in sleeves. And I did something I haven't done in years: I decided to stay up as late as it took to finish it. It was totally worth the lack of sleep. Here are some examples of her writing (some are screen shots, some I typed in): Check out how repeition makes things more powerful. "This girl's bones feel like china, like blown glass, like handles on teacups. The girl feels like all kinds of precious things." "People say she's a nice girl. She makes mostly A's and B's. Hardly ever C's. She saves her money in the bank. But now she wishes that she were the kind of girl who set things on fire instead of the kind of girl who proofreads her work. She wishes she knew how to scare people. She wishes she had worked yesterday instead of today, and she wishes she carried pepper spray like her mother has told her she should, and she wishes she had an Almond Joy, cold, and she wishes she were home in bed and her pillows were fluffed, and she wishes she had grabbed that little boy Lincoln and run with him and saved him, and she wishes she were a woman in a video game with pistols on her hips and cleavage . She wishes her father could still pick her up and carry her, but she is too heavy."   And I love the rhythm of her sentences - long galloping ones followed by short declarative ones.  This was a five-star book for me!

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.

It is true that this man known as Priest Odunga can help someone get their ex back. My daughter Melissa is 28 years old. She and Lyon have been dating for 3 years until they broke up for 8 months. I want my daughter to be happy as she was very miserable with the break up. At the office, a colleague told me to contact Priest Odunga and gave me his whatsapp number but I was not sure of what to do if it would be ok to contact someone as a Priest to help me. I reluctantly contacted him to help my daughter get her boyfriend back and I paid for the items he asked me for. I would say it was not easy trusting someone whom I have not met before. As a result after 3 days, my daughter came back home smiling and happy telling me how Lyon called her and how he came home being humble as if it were first day of connection from the very beginning. The love sparked in her eyes and I knew the work of this man have manifested. I would recommend this man to anyone who needs to get their ex back at his number Call or WhatsApp him at +2348167159012 or email him at [email protected]

Hello, my name is Rachel Frye and I want to give this testimony in respect of Dr. Odunga who made me win $2 Million Dollars in the Lottery by matching the 5 numbers for me. I am happy to be out of financial debt and be able to help my family in this seasonal period of fun and cheer. I contacted Dr. Odunga through Whats-App (+2348167159012) when I told him to help me win the Mega Millions and He told me that it would be spiritually checked if I will win the Lottery. When he informed me that I will not be able to win the Jackpot but I will win a huge amount in the lottery I was not completely sad but had great faith in him. I live in Freeland, Saginaw County, Michigan and I would say it was pretty hard to send him the money for the spell before he gave me the winning numbers to play. He sent me the numbers and I played. The next morning after the drawing, I matched the five white balls in the Aug. 4 drawing to win $1 million: 11-30-45-52-56. Thanks to the Megaplier X2, my prize was multiplied to $2 million. Thank You Dr Odunga for this wonderful experience with you. You too can contact Dr. Odunga at his Whats-App +2348167159012 or Email: [email protected]
