![]() But not everything on the Greek island is as perfect as it seems. She also definitely doesn’t want Theo, her father’s charismatic so-called protégé, to witness her struggle.Įven so, she can't help but be charmed by everything Santorini has to offer-the beautiful sunsets, the turquoise water, the sun-drenched villages, and the delicious cuisine. Liv doesn’t want to get sucked back into her father's world. There are so many questions, so many emotions that flood to the surface after seeing her father for the first time in years. When she arrives in gorgeous Santorini, things are just as awkward as she'd imagined. So when teenage Liv suddenly receives a postcard from her father, who explains that National Geographic is supporting a documentary about his theories on Atlantis-and asks if she will fly out to Greece and help-Liv is less than thrilled. Liv Varanakis doesn’t like to think about her father much, which makes sense-he fled to Greece when she was only eight, leaving her with just a few painful memories of their shared love for the lost city of Atlantis. Santorini felt like an island holding its breath. ![]() ![]() ![]() Published by Simon Pulse on November 10, 2020 Also in this series: Love & Gelato, Love & Luck ![]()

![]() We don't get a WHOLE lot of her in Tess's story, and it turns out, the little we do learn about her, is a lie. I wasn't sure if I was going to like Calla. Calla's personal struggles make Stay With Me a very unique experience, that will keep you hooked to the very end. Calla's story is just as raw and difficult as the past two books protagonists, and gives us an idea of what drugs can do to not just the user, but to the users family and friends. Stay With Me breathes life into a series that would have gotten quickly dull if it had stayed on campus, and introduces us to some quirky new characters, as well as sexy new potential in future books. As per usual when it comes to worrying about anything Jennifer Armentrout writes, I was wrong to doubt. The idea of not having those moments with Cam and Avery, and Jase and Tess, bummed me out. All of a sudden, we were leaving the college that we have been with the last two book (three if you have read Trust in Me, the first book in Cam's perspective), and leaving behind characters we have read about for a whole new town and cast. ![]() ![]() ![]() I was a little worried starting Stay With Me. ![]() ![]() ![]() His relationship with his father was beautifully drawn, and something I will remember for a long time. I learnt a lot about Jewish scholarship, and the textual work described is fascinating – and I loved the way it brought stability, pride and conflict into Reuven’s life. Danny and Reuven are growing in their respective paths, and the choices they have to make, as well as the promises they’ve made to themselves, their fathers, and their faiths, are thrown into sharp relief by their involvement with the Gordon family Abraham, who writes on Judaism from a more liberal viewpoint and is reviled for it in the post-Holocaust retrenchment into more extreme forms of the religion which is happening at the time, and particularly Michael, his conflicted son. ![]() ![]() I might not have enjoyed it completely as much as the first volume, but that’s not to say it wasn’t good.

I'm currently either reading or writing the ne I write mostly MM porngasmic fluff- sometimes funny, sometimes outrageous (just like me). In a past life, I was most likely a tall fitness guru with an immaculate home and a thriving garden, which totally explains my "been there, done that" attitude. Paranormal and taboo reads are my favorites. ![]() I love me some tasteful dirty talk, and a book that can make me laugh will get 5*! Though it's only been a year since I fell in love with the MM romance genre, it's become my next new addiction. Personally, I can't read anything that will tug at my heartstrings, leave me hanging on for the next installment, or gloss over the sexy bits (they're the best part).

Readers new to the series could take a while to figure out how the characters relate to one another and sort out the storylines that are continued from the two previous books, but this novel can stand on its own as a page-turner of a thriller.ĪS GOOD AS DEAD begins just weeks before Pippa Fitz-Amobi is about to leave for her first year at college.

A work of philosophy as well as mathematics, Turing's thesis envisions a practical goal-a logical system to formalize mathematical proofs so they can be checked mechanically. This book presents a facsimile of the original typescript of the thesis along with essays by Andrew Appel and Solomon Feferman that explain its still-unfolding significance. ![]() Though less well known than his other work, Turing's 1938 Princeton PhD thesis, "Systems of Logic Based on Ordinals," which includes his notion of an oracle machine, has had a lasting influence on computer science and mathematics. Some of the greatest logicians in the world-including Alonzo Church, Kurt Gdel, John von Neumann, and Stephen Kleene-were at Princeton in the 1930s, and they were working on ideas that would lay the groundwork for what would become known as computer science. Between inventing the concept of a universal computer in 1936 and breaking the German Enigma code during World War II, Alan Turing (1912-1954), the British founder of computer science and artificial intelligence, came to Princeton University to study mathematical logic. ![]() |
