Despite this statement, at least three later crossover comics actually would have the two shows existing in the same universe. Though it was believed to be spin-off of DuckTales (and Launchpad even directly mentioning Scrooge McDuck in one episode), Stones has stated that these two shows were to take place in separate universes, while sharing the characters Launchpad McQuack and Gizmoduck on a regular basis, as well as Carl Barks' villain characters appearing in one of the episodes. It featured the eponymous superhero anthropomorphic duck, with the alter ego of Drake Mallard (voiced by Jim Cummings). Darkwing Duck is an American animated television series produced by The Walt Disney Company and created by Tad Stones that ran during 19 on both the syndicated programming block The Disney Afternoon, and on Saturday mornings on ABC.

This success pushed Sanderson to further develop his fictional universe, the Cosmere, which also includes The Stormlight Archive. The first Mistborn trilogy chronicles the efforts of a secret group of Allomancers who attempt to overthrow a dystopian empire and establish themselves in a world covered by ash. Sanderson plans to write a third and fourth series. Sanderson also released a novella in 2016, Mistborn: Secret History. A second series was released between 20, and consists of The Alloy of Law, Shadows of Self, The Bands of Mourning and The Lost Metal. The first trilogy, published between 20, consists of The Final Empire, The Well of Ascension, and The Hero of Ages. Mistborn is a series of epic fantasy novels written by American author Brandon Sanderson and published by Tor Books. Print ( hardcover, paperback and leatherbound), audiobook, e-book Little wonder that, as they walk, they also die, one at a time, from malnutrition and sickness, and all the while, their guard, an old-timer, gradually comes to admire their perseverance just as the women come to respect the old man's quiet determination to keep helping them to survive. The black and white photography is superb as the downtrodden party weaves its way through swamp, dirt roads, wet and dry season, very little food or water, malaria, dysentery and all other manner of tropical diseases. A Town Like Alice is a different kettle of fish, so to speak: instead of a single family, it's a mix of various women and children caught up in the retreat to Singapore in 1941, and follows their seemingly unending trek across Malaya, from camp to camp, seeking admission and a final resting place to wait out the war. I recall seeing that one a long time ago and recall the dark nature of that narrative (I have yet to submit a review here, but I will, in time). Soon after the end of real hostilities in 1945, Hollywood produced the first of many subsequent films from the perspective of prisoners of war held by the Japanese: that film was Three Came Home (1950) with Claudette Colbert. In Doreen’s latest book, Diary of a Worm, she explores the daily life of a lovable worm. She then teamed up once again with illustrator Betsy Lewin to write another hilarious barnyard tale, Giggle, Giggle, Quack, that continues the escapades of these lovable animals on a farm. The busy life of a writer left no room for courtroom litigation and arbitration so Doreen made the leap to being a full-time children’s book author. Five years after submitting the original manuscript she got a call from a publisher who wanted to turn her story into a book and the rest is history! In fact, she had written this barnyard tale even before attending law school but only received rejection letters from publishers. But her book was not published overnight. Doreen Cronin was a practicing attorney in Manhattan when her first book Click, Clack Moo: Cows That Type became a publishing success. She also won the award for Big Mushy Happy Lump in 2017, and Herding Cats in 2018.

These are the 2013 results, and to determine the 100 books I simply considered all books that appeared at least once in the monthly Bestsellers list and gave them a rate equal to their position if a book appeared more than once they received a bonus point for each time they made the list and their position is the average position plus the bonus. At today I read only 18 out of 100 books, so this year challenge is REALLY challenging. This list (2013) and the previous (20) are an yearly average of the monthly bestsellers list in Gay Fiction as per this Amazon link: Bestsellers in Gay Fiction. This is the third year I'm doing the Challenge, and on the contrary of 2011 (when I complete all my challenge: ), for the 2012 books I still have 20 of them to read ( _2012.html) BUT I will read them, trust me, I'm like a diesel, starting low but then gaining speed :-).

The first half of Firebreak was everything I wanted Ready Player One to be, smashed up with everything I wanted An Absolutely Remarkable Thing to be, and then the story went gloriously off the rails and I when I heard a name that rang a bell I realized I also recognized that sword/gun combo, and I ran and grabbed some other books off my bookshelf because I HAD to read those too all of a sudden. It’s got a TON of stuff going on, and I cried all the time while I was reading the end, a hustle based economy sucks, and when the government makes a few stupid decisions, the consequences last, um, forever.
