London Design Festival has us living in a Barbie world 💕

Last chance to catch the Barbie DreamHouses and connect with the sun at Somerset House for London Design Festival 💕

‘Pavilions of Wonder’ by Nina Tolstrup has three installations on The Strand which fuse the vibrant essence of the Barbie DreamHouse with Greater Palm Springs’ iconic midcentury modernism.

Opposite in Somerset House ‘The Sun, My Heart’ by Marjan Van Aubel is an immersive experience where placing your hand on the pad connects your heart with solar rhythms. The constellation of lights mimics the sun’s daily cycle, complemented by a soundscape based on NASA’s solar recordings. ☀️

Both places are free to enter. Will you be heading down?

This was the worst cliffhanger ever!

She tried to stagger toward the ladder. Why was she moving backward

instead? Her legs swept out from under her and she fell on her face.

“Her ankle!” Hazel shouted from the ladder. “Cut it! Cut it!”

Annabeth’s mind was woolly from the pain. Cut her ankle?

Apparently Percy didn’t realize what Hazel meant either. Then something

yanked Annabeth backward and dragged her toward the pit. Percy lunged. He

grabbed her arm, but the momentum carried him along as well.

“Help them!” Hazel yelled.

Annabeth glimpsed Nico hobbling in their direction, Hazel trying to

disentangle her cavalry sword from the rope ladder. Their other friends were still

focused on the statue, and Hazel’s cry was lost in the general shouting and the

rumbling of the cavern.

Annabeth sobbed as she hit the edge of the pit. Her legs went over the side.

Too late, she realized what was happening: she was tangled in the spider silk.

She should have cut it away immediately. She had thought it was just loose line,

but with the entire floor covered in cobwebs, she hadn’t noticed that one of thestrands was wrapped around her foot—and the other end went straight into the

pit. It was attached to something heavy down in the darkness, something that

was pulling her in.

“No,” Percy muttered, light dawning in his eyes. “My sword…”

But he couldn’t reach Riptide without letting go of Annabeth’s arm, and

Annabeth’s strength was gone. She slipped over the edge. Percy fell with her.

Her body slammed into something. She must have blacked out briefly from

the pain. When she could see again, she realized that she’d fallen partway into

the pit and was dangling over the void. Percy had managed to grab a ledge about

fifteen feet below the top of the chasm. He was holding on with one hand,

gripping Annabeth’s wrist with the other, but the pull on her leg was much too

strong.

No escape, said a voice in the darkness below. I go to Tartarus, and you will

come too.

Annabeth wasn’t sure if she actually heard Arachne’s voice or if it was just in

her mind.

The pit shook. Percy was the only thing keeping her from falling. He was

barely holding on to a ledge the size of a bookshelf.

Nico leaned over the edge of the chasm, thrusting out his hand, but he was

much too far away to help. Hazel was yelling for the others, but even if they

heard her over all the chaos, they’d never make it in time.

Annabeth’s leg felt like it was pulling free of her body. Pain washed

everything in red. The force of the Underworld tugged at her like dark gravity.

She didn’t have the strength to fight. She knew she was too far down to be

saved.

“Percy, let me go,” she croaked. “You can’t pull me up.”

His face was white with effort. She could see in his eyes that he knew it was

hopeless.

“Never,” he said. He looked up at Nico, fifteen feet above. “The other side,

Nico! We’ll see you there. Understand?”

Nico’s eyes widened. “But—”

“Lead them there!” Percy shouted. “Promise me!”“I—I will.”

Below them, the voice laughed in the darkness. Sacrifices. Beautiful

sacrifices to wake the goddess.

Percy tightened his grip on Annabeth’s wrist. His face was gaunt, scraped and

bloody, his hair dusted with cobwebs, but when he locked eyes with her, she

thought he had never looked more handsome.

“We’re staying together,” he promised. “You’re not getting away from me.

Never again.”

Only then did she understand what would happen. A one-way trip. A very

hard fall.

“As long as we’re together,” she said.

She heard Nico and Hazel still screaming for help. She saw the sunlight far,

far above—maybe the last sunlight she would ever see.

Then Percy let go of his tiny ledge, and together, holding hands, he and

Annabeth fell into the endless darkness.

#BOOKREVIEW - Scuppered Society - #TheStranded #blog

Life aboard a cruise ship turned refugee camp is less than luxurious, especially with governmental regulations and oversight placing strict restrictions on the residents who already have few options available to them, making conditions particularly ripe for a rebellion in The Stranded by Sarah Daniels. Aboard the Arcadia are residents descended from European refugees from an apocalyptic war that…
