Verónica’s journey to become a mermaid, though, is about so much more than just scoring the job. Through this story of a disabled immigrant teen’s dreams and wishes, Sylvester makes you think about so many issues including bullying, ableism, slut shaming, and consent - both sexual and medical. Her love interest, Alex, is on his own journey combatting depression, and his art is very cool. Ultimately, my favorite character was Geoff and his @Phin journey - hooray for merpeople. Pick this one up when you’re looking for something beautifully real and relevant.
What are holiday weekends for if not one last summer beach read? Breathe and Count Back from Ten is a little outside my usual romance wheelhouse, a YA novel with a romantic thread as opposed to a YA romance novel. (Yes, I loved the Harry Potter series but you know I was waiting the whole time for Hermione and Ron to finally get together because who couldn’t see those sparks!) However, the cover flap copy drew me in: “Verónica has always dreamed of being a mermaid.” Mermaid Cove, the fictional place in the book where Verónica dreams about performing as a mermaid, is based on a real place, Weeki Wachee Springs in Florida. I confess to having this dream, too, albeit on a much farther back-burner than Verónica. Like her, however, the water was a place where I felt at home during my childhood and early teen years. For Verónica, it’s because she can move freely there despite her hip dysplasia. For me, it was a place where I could keep up with other kids even though I was overweight. (Although I also had hip dysplasia, mine was corrected with a brace when I was a baby.) I never wanted to get rid of my legs, but getting paid to wear a sparkly fin and play pretend sounded awesome.

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery, and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me, stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers, which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I'm here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza. If you seek for assistance in any aspect of your life, WhatsApp Meduza via: +1 (807) 907-2687 or Email: [email protected]

I was so lucky to win the $1 million prize in the lottery. I have been playing the powerball lottery for about 20 years, and i didn't win any big amount until Dr. Lucas helped me with his spiritual winning numbers, I thought it was all fake until he gave me the numbers and directed me on how to play. He gave me assurance that I was going to win and asked me to give him 48 hours to finish his work, which I did. The third day, he gave me the numbers and gave me instructions on how to play, and luckily, I won. I want to let everyone who is reading this to know that this spell really works and you can also be a winner if you give it a try to see for yourself. The moment you contact Dr Lucas for help is the end of suffering in your life, he has been helping people around the world and I'm happy that I'm among those who has benefited from his great work he's doing, you can reach him if you really want to win the lottery Email: [email protected] Or WhatsApp +234 904 794 3567 Thank You .

i want to share to the whole world how Dr masako the Great of all the Spell Caster, that helped me reunite my marriage back, my Ex Husband broke up with me 3months ago, I have been trying to get him back ever since then, i was worried and so confused because i love him so much. I was really going too depressed, he left me with my kids and just ignored me constantly. I have begged him for forgiveness through text messages for him to come back home and the kids crying and miss their dad but he wont reply, I wanted him back desperately. we were in a very good couple and yet he just ignores me and get on with his life just like that, so i was looking for help after reading a post of Dr masako on the internet when i saw a lady name SHARRON testified that Dr masako cast a Pure love spell to stop divorce. and i also met with other, it was about how he brought back her Ex lover in less than 24 hours at the end of her testimony she dropped his email, I contacted Dr masako via email and explained my problem to Dr masako and he told me what went wrong with my husband and how it happen, that he will restored my marriage back, and to my greatest surprise my Ex husband came back to me, and he apologized for his mistake, and for the pain he caused me and my children.

Hello everyone, some statements people make may appear unbelievable, yet they reflect their truth due to their personal experiences. I'm a truck driver and I enjoy playing the lottery, but it's been 8 years without winning anything significant. I became upset over this and chose to seek help online from anyone skilled in using spells to win the lottery since my grandma had faith in spells and a story about Lord Meduza spells drew my interest. I obtained his contact information, and we discussed all aspects of how he could assist me. In less than 72 hours, Lord Meduza provided me with the lottery numbers I required after he completed the spell for me. I purchased my ticket online, followed the guidance of Lord Meduza, and now my life is fortunate because I won a $42.5 million Jackpot in the lottery I participated in. I’m thankful to Lord Meduza because he truly keeps his promises and I will donate $1 million to the orphanage homes in my town. Comments are closed.

Reflections on Writing
I love few things better than a bottomless to-read list of books and firmly believe the world has room for all the stories we want to share. This blog is intended to provide resources and spark discussion about improving writing. Opinions are my own and not intended to discredit anyone else's work, only to open conversation. Thanks for reading!
