I also mix all that in the goblet whenever I return from a voyage in a parallel universe by the TARDIS and come up with some crazy fiction, this I guess makes me a writer in the real world.

is a non-rhyming 5-lined poem pioneered by Adelaide Crapsey (1878 - 1914).

syllables in each line, which makes it always end up in a diamond-like shape. I
will be following the two and sometimes a mix of both types. </span><span style="font-family: "walter turncoat" , serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

There are many ways to write it, weather relaying on the number of words or
syllables in each line, which makes it always end up in a diamond-like shape. I
will be following the two and sometimes a mix of both types. </span><span style="font-family: "walter turncoat" , serif; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

is a non-rhyming 5-lined poem pioneered by Adelaide Crapsey (1878 - 1914).

will be following the two and sometimes a mix of both types. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

There are many ways to write it, weather relaying on the number of words or syllables in each line, which makes it always end up in a diamond-like shape. In this A to Z challenge I will be following the two and sometimes a mix of both types. I’ll also add some cute cinquains by my grade 4 talented students. Hope you enjoy our poetry.</i></span></span></div>

There are many ways to write it, weather relaying on the number of words or syllables in each line, which makes it always end up in a diamond-like shape. In this A to Z challenge I will be following the two and sometimes a mix of both types. I’ll also add some cute cinquains by my grade 4 talented students. Hope you enjoy our poetry.</i></span></span></div>

- 1914). There are many ways to write it, weather relaying on the number of
words or syllables in each line, which makes it always end up in a diamond-like
shape. In this A to Z challenge I will be following the two and sometimes a mix
of both types. I’ll also add some cute cinquains by my grade 4 talented
students. Hope you enjoy our poetry.</i></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">I don’t do much reviewing on my blog here, yes I talk books
when the chance comes, like <a href="http://haneenwrites.blogspot.com/2016/05/your-captains-reflection-post-and-yummy.html" target="_blank">here </a>and <a href="http://haneenwrites.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-classic-villain-and-beacon-of-light.html" target="_blank">here</a>. In fact the only book I officially reviewed
was <a href="http://haneenwrites.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-hobbit-by-jrr-tolkien-review.html" target="_blank">The Hobbit</a>. And that was because I was enamored. A result of various reasons
including my incurable crush on the <a href="http://haneenwrites.blogspot.com/2013/05/bilbo-baggins.html" target="_blank">Baggins Boys</a>. Ehem. Anyway I wanted to read
Sunbolt for a while now, and also promised the very nice and talented <i><a href="http://booksbyintisar.com/" target="_blank">IntisarKhanani</a></i> I would review it in celebration of the upcoming release of the sequel or the second book of <i>The Sunbolt Chonicles</i>;<b><i> <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17969479-memories-of-ash?from_search=true&search_version=service" target="_blank">Memoriesof Ash</a></i></b> (on May 30) so here we are.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The creatures of the world and the magic isn’t your average kind:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">A Fang is obviously a vampire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">A Breather I presume is an energy vampire. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">And there are lycans and shapeshifters and the likes, how
these creatures hunt, how they feed are some of the chilling and extraordinary
parts of the book.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The magic is unique and different, there was this one
bloodspell that Hitomi had to break, how she executes the task, how the spell
finally falters is simply excellent. I also loved how a mage can feel the work
of another mage, magic is something that is sensed and detected, and when
someone breaks your guarding spell for instance it can wake you up jumping!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">And as expected form Khanani again the dialogue is witty and
engaging, not a word is wasted. Hitomi’s snarky exchanges with Lord Blackflame
were quite funny.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Hitomi is also a stranger in strange land, because she’s from
a different race (as her name suggests -and other indications- she is Asian to
us) she was easily spotted and therefore a target for bullies. That is a part I
can relate to, something I appreciate about this book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">By the way, there is no romance in Sunbolt, so whoever is
jaded by fantasy or YA books filled with romance can rejoice at that.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">The lows:<o:p></o:p></span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Yes the creatures are interesting but they were too many, is
this a bad thing? Maybe not, but it just made a small book feel crowded. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Also the pacing, it goes fast, a bit slow, fast again then
it is as slow as it can get. The climax is far from the ending, many uneventful
things take place after it and I felt it ended at an odd place, and with many
questions left unanswered, not the ones about her past and heritage, these are
the questions that keep you coming for more, but I’m talking about things like
her unexplained relationship with the Ghost, so why exactly does he trust her?
What did she do or show that made him treat her with such tenderness? What
makes Hitomi so special?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">I found this a bit annoying.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Also the language, she travels to a knew land and couldn’t
understand what the people there were saying, then, suddenly everyone she meets
is understandable to her, they all speak the language of Karolene, the
explanation to this was unconvincing to me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Also the villains were a tad disappointing. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">What about Hitomi herself?<o:p></o:p></span></i></b><br />
<b><i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br /></span></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Well, it took me a while to like this girl but she grew up
on me. This is also another quality to Intisar’s writing, it takes a while to
sink in, for you to appreciate it, this means it stays with you way after you
close the book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Hitomi wasn’t the nicest young lady, I mean she’s a thief. But
resourceful and brave? Oh yes, clever? Oh yes,yes! she can find her way out of
any sort of imprisonment, not once but three times, I loved how she calculated
all her moves, her small knowledge with magic proved very useful only because
she knew how to make it so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">At one point she had that disturbing well to die for her
friends, almost suicidal, it irritated me, but when the time came for her to
die, well, let’s just say she wasn’t very welcoming, thank God for that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">And Hitomi is kind. She hate’s and even fears leaving anyone
behind, friend or foe…what did Skeletor say to He-Man when he saved him from
falling off a cliff?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">“Fool He-Man! I wouldn’t do that if I were you”</span></blockquote>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">I tell you if this makes heroes fools then Hitomi Rasheed
Coldeye is the biggest fool. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">It’s a shame what happened to her at the end of the book,
she deserves better, but let’s wait and see how it will be resolved in the next
book “Memories of Ash” which I will be reviewing also insha'Allah. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">And there you have it :) I hope you enjoyed the review.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

movie Drishyam and liking it I read it was inspired by the Japanese detective book <i>The
Devotion of Suspect X</i> by <i>Keigo Higashino</i>, so I hunted for that book
and Oh MY God! What a read, guys if you were living under a tent like me and
haven’t come across this gem I say you must. I’m utterly speechless, I loved
this book to pieces. Can you believe I hated no one and fell for every single
man in this novel? Other than the victim himself that is, irony. Anyway, review
on goodreads coming up soon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

time during the 2016 A to Z challenge that was held last April. It was quite
fun, I loved my theme “The Dream Team” even though I missed many pretty letters
due to my very tight schedule: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">At the beginning when it downed on me that I won’t be able
to complete the challenge perfectly I got quite depressed, well, truthfully I
was depressed already for various reasons but this one just added to my
chagrin, then I snapped out of it. Come on Captain! No big deal, you got
priorities and there is always next year, no?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Surprisingly though, it was my theme itself that gave me the
motive to continue (aside from my natural stubbornness of course). I really
loved and thoroughly enjoyed the idea of bringing <a href="http://haneenwrites.blogspot.com/2016/04/team-e-and-announcement.html" target="_blank">some of my favoritecharacters</a> together with the bonus of talking about some
of FC Bacelona players, my real living dream team :D<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">I also wish I was able to give each team a <i><a href="http://haneenwrites.blogspot.com/2016/04/a-is-for-team-alluring.html" target="_blank">Show Time</a></i>,
they deserved it, it was more of a short piece, and it gave me some great
ideas, I actually felt I was writing a story. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">Sandro has caught some nasty injuries in his short time in
the first team, but hopefully it won’t affect his career considering he’s only
20. And of course he also doesn’t get enough time on the pitch like Munir
because, well, Barca’s leading forwards are the mighty MSN (Messi, Suarez,
Neymar) who are currently the best in the world in their positions so, the la
masia graduates will have to wait for better chances where they can shine and
show their worth.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;">I like Sandro, his character, his dedication to barca, and I
also like his name. Had a cat named Sandro just for him :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

fun, as Zorro leads the two young men all through the mission, fooling guards, kicking
and punching while hitting some with the ball in their faces, saving village
people, and helpless cute robots and a damsel named Eiko
and a city of living breathing teapots, etc...carving the elegant Z on each final corner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

swear to stay friends forever. Of course after Sandro offers the two Zs tickets
to the final Copa del Rey match against Sivilla.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
