There’s only one way to find out. One night, in the middle of summer, a young couple vanishes from a party on a sprawling country estate.Ī year later, a woman moves into the cottage on the edge of the estate grounds. To get the most out of the Ralph’s Party books, it’s best to read them in the order they were published, listed below. This two-part series is an insightful exploration of the journey of a modern couple and the complex yet relatable challenges they face. Lisa Jewell has written twenty novels, including two popular series and several standalone titles.īelow, I’ll list them all in the order they was published, along with a summary of each, so you can decide where to begin your reading journey. The Girls / The Girls in the Garden (2015) Roommates Wanted / 31 Dream Street (2007) Goo takes her characters through a wide range of Hong Kong attractions, from major tourist attractions like a spot that overlooks the entire city to an independent bookstore tucked away by a movie theatre. As much as this is about the love story between Lucky and Jake, Somewhere Only We Know is equally also a love story to Hong Kong. I also love all the little touches that really make Hong Kong come to life in this story. It’s such a delight to read, and I was rooting for these characters all the way through. On one level, as I used to say as a teenager, it’s totally kilig to the bones! (“ Kilig” is a Tagalog word that refers to a rush of sheer joy and giddiness because of romantic love.) This story of a K-pop superstar who falls in love with an undercover tabloid photographer during a day of exploring Hong Kong is, quite simply, the kind of cheesy, feel-good romance that takes me back to my childhood. I absolutely loved Maurene Goo’s Somewhere Only We Know. It's all beautiful to behold, but it feels like this short would function better as a lengthier saga than a short restricted to the 20-minute "Star Wars: Visions" format. There's even a Jedi Council, none of whom are explicitly identified beyond a few lines. Certain concepts and characters are thrust into the story with minimal explanation, such as Ara's history with the temple and transition into life as a mechanic and Toul's relationship with former master Leesagum and Bichen. Though every short is phenomenal in its own way, "Journey to the Dark Head" presents such an all-encompassing vision for its story world that it may be a bit too expansive. Each character and environment is beautifully designed and brought to life with crisp line work, especially in what might be the most epic final confrontation in all of the nine episodes, anchored by a superb lightsaber duel between Toul and Sith Lord Bichen. The short sees ambitious mechanic Ara and bratty Jedi Knight Toul paired on a mission that takes them to a temple in the Outer Rim that may hold the key to ending the Galactic War. The use of many different colours in one outfit shows that he does not conform to every day fashion and is quite happy and confident to be individual.Ĭhanging his coat to blue still keeps him looking a bit eccentric.

Intent: An Investigation into Visual Communication of Character Patricia finished her first novel in late 1978. Dalton Booksellers, and finally at the Dayton Hudson Corporation headquarters. She worked for several years as a financial analyst and accountant, first with the Minnesota Hospital Association, then with B. from the University of Minnesota in 1977. She finished it five years later and started her second book at once, having become permanently hooked on writing by this time.

Patricia Collins Wrede was born in Chicago, Illinois and is the eldest of five children. On October 18, 1938, she secretly married "Mister," as she called him, in Mason City, but the wedding supposedly brought her no peace. Kuhlman's friends tried to encourage her to not marry Waltrip, however she reasoned that Waltrip's wife had left him, not the other way around (the details of their separation are not clear). Īfter a romance between Waltrip and Kuhlman began, she told her friends that she could not "find the will of God in the matter", seemingly feeling guilt-ridden. He divorced his first wife, left his family, moved to Mason City, Iowa and started a revival center called Radio Chapel, for which Kuhlman and her pianist friend, Helen Gulliford, helped him raise funds. īurroughs Waltrip was a Texas evangelist. Williams of Brooklyn, New York, a trailblazer for women in Ministry known for her healing ministry helped to birth the healing ministry in Kuhlman. Later, she was ordained by the Evangelical Church Alliance. She had a spiritual experience at age 14 and several years later, she began itinerant preaching with her elder sister and brother-in-law in Idaho. Kathryn Johanna Kuhlman was born in 1907 near Concordia, Missouri to German-American parents Joseph Adolph Kuhlman and Emma Walkenhorst.

It’s been stressed multiple times (especially at the end of Unlocked) how important it is for Sophie to work with others. I’ve mentioned possibilities of this being a theory before- Sophie has pushed plenty of boundaries, and it’s unlikely that they would continue to stick with her. Sophie’s friends leave her/Sophie forms her own independent rebellion In the “Keefe’s Memories” section, he comments that people can switch sides at any time- this could foreshadow his betrayal. This theory was more a random thought than anything- though the betrayal part has been hinted at. (Though after finding out who her mother is, does she really want to?) According to the chart, one of the stars, Phosforien, can be used in DNA tests- it could make them more accurate or detailed, which might help in Sophie finding her father. It hints that the stars (and what their quintessence can do) may be used in the future. Part of rereading Unlocked came with noticing possible foreshadowing- one of which was in the introduction to the section on the Unmapped Stars. This will be supplemented by theories based on Unlocked.ĮDIT: upon rereading it only now I realize that I forgot about the cover entirely XD. Using this, combined with the cover, I’ll be coming up with some new theories.
