![]() It's kind of strange knowing that the first thing people think of when they hear "young adult" could be Twilight. Luckily, my brother (who was with me) knew he was talking about Twilight. Remembering the conversation with my boyfriend, I said "mostly young adult fiction" (in case he wasn't a reader) and his response was "oh, like the ones with vampires?" I was SO confused. While I was waiting to get a new phone at the Apple store, the guy who helped me out asked about the type of books I like to read after I told him I like reading. More times than "young adult," I'd think! But to people who don't read at all (like my boyfriend-although I did get him to read The Hunger Games and Catching Fire!) I understand why it could be kind of confusing. ![]() Having been part of the book blogging community for a little while now, "YA" is written EVERYWHERE. ![]() Some time last year, I was talking with my boyfriend about the many YA books being turned into movies ( Divergent, The Fault in Our Stars, Mockingjay, etc.) and he made fun of me for calling young adult "YA." He knows what the young adult genre is, but he didn't think it made sense for me to abbreviate it because " nobody but you would call it that." ![]()

'Everything about Venice,' observed Lord Byron, 'is, or was, extraordinary – her aspect is like a dream, and her history is like a romance.' Dream and romance have conditioned myriad encounters with Venice across the centuries, but the city's story embodies another kind of experience altogether – the hard reality of an independent state built on conquest, profit and entitlement and on the toughness and resilience of a free people. ![]() A stunningly illustrated history of Venice, from its beginnings as 'La Serenissima' – 'the Most Serene Republic' – to the Italian city that continues to enchant visitors today. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is written, "The Lord thy God shalt thou worship, and him only shalt thou serve."

Directed by Guy Ritchie, and reuniting Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law as Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson, it laid a very clear commercial and critical path to a third film. It was on December 16 th 2011 that Warner Bros released the sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows into worldwide cinemas, returning a handsome profit for Warner Bros and Village Roadshow Pictures (with over half a billion dollars banked) by the time its run was complete.

It is therefore important to continue to place the most stringent tests upon general relativity as possible, to discover how and when the theory breaks down. “General relativity is not compatible with the other fundamental forces, described by quantum mechanics. “More than 100 years later, scientists around the world continue their efforts to find flaws in his theory.

But I now at once began to recognise the importance of the occasion, and to see that for the next two months Crasweller, the college, and the Fixed Period must be banished, if not from my thoughts, at any rate from my tongue. But when I was reminded of this by Jack a few days later, it had quite gone out of my head. I had probably also been told that Sir Lords Longstop and Sir Kennington Oval were to be entertained at Little Christchurch. Of course I had heard of it before, and had been informed that Lord Marylebone was to be our guest. I had been of late so absorbed in the affairs of the Fixed Period, that I had altogether forgotten the cricket-match and the noble strangers who were about to come to our shores.
