The Fates Gathering in the Stars

Artist: Elihu Vedder (American, 1836–1923)

Date: 1887

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL, United States

Description

Elihu Vedder depicted the three Fates of Greek mythology working the thread of life: Clotho spins the thread, Lachesis fixes its length, and Atropos cuts it at the appointed time of death. Their symbolic tools—spindle, distaff, and shears—rest in the foreground, emphasizing the Fates’ decisive role in matters of life and death. Vedder adapted this painting from an illustration he had designed for an 1884 publication by Edward FitzGerald—a translation of the work of 11th-century poet Omar Khayyám, The Rubáiyát. Vedder was attracted to mysterious, visionary subject matter. Here, he explored metaphysical questions of life, death, and afterlife, subjects at the core of Khayyám’s poetry.

A Killing Cold By: Kate Alice Marshall

Rating: ★★★★

Plot:★★★★

Setting: ★★★★★

Where do I start?

The story didn't take any time drawing me in. It started with its mystery and intrigue right from the start. Theo's Fiance Connor takes her to meet his family and spend a few weeks with them. This is the first time Theo is coming face to face with the rich and powerful Daltons. Daltons who might not approve of her, who protect their own. Theo not only wants to impress his family but also keep all her secrets a secret. Which might be tough since she's been getting texts and messages to stay away from Connor..someone on the mountain knows her secret. 

But she isn't the only one keeping secrets. The Daltons are hiding something far more heinous. 

Unable to remember much of her past due to trauma, Theo begins to remember her life before she was adopted. And all of it is connected to the very mountain she is now on. 

This book had me turning the pages well into the night. I'm not joking when I say that I devoured this book whole. I stayed up all night waiting to find out what happens next. There wasn't a slow point in the story. It never dragged on. I wish the characters were a bit more defined, but I've come to notice that in suspense/thrillers the story is more about the outside picture. I didn't want to put this book down. The twists and turns and all the family secrets had me on my toes. Just when I make up my mind about someone they do something that shocks me. I'm so grateful I was able to receive an ARC for this. It was truly a great read. A mystery where I couldn't figure out exactly what happened until it was actually revealed.

Review of Five Dead Herrings (Quest Investigations 1) by E.J. Russell

Blurb Something’s definitely fishy about this case…On my last stakeout for Quest Investigations, I nearly got clotheslined by a grove of angry dryads. I expected my bosses to reprimand me, but instead they handed me my first solo assignment. Me! Matt Steinitz, the only human on the Quest roster!Okay, so the mission isn’t exactly demanding. Obviously, the bosses wanted to give me something they…

Do you think Noah taught Nana how to 'talk', like as a trick, and that she does it at random when she sees the gang feeling down or wants a treat. So sometimes it looks like she's talking, but she really doesn't.

-💫

Oh my god, yes! Absolutely! The gang is so used to it, but when Alejandro joins and sees it happen, he is dumbfounded because the gang responds to Nana as if she actually said something.
