novel wattpad :: Article Creator Why Beth Reekles Is The Wattpad Success Story Behind Netflix Hit 'The Kissing Booth' Author Beth Reekles, with copies of her novel. Beth Reekles When Netflix chief content officer Ted Sarandos discussed the Netflix Original teen romantic comedy The Kissing Booth in a recent interview, he used two seemingly contradictory phrases, calling the film both "one of the most-watched movies in the country, and maybe in the world" and "This is a movie that I bet you'd never heard of until I just mentioned it to you."

the ocean at the end of the lane :: Article Creator The Ocean At The End Of The Lane - The Most Mesmerising Performance Of A Lifetime From the moment the lights went down at the Bristol Hippodrome on Tuesday evening (August 15) every member of the audience looked to be completely captivated.

The story itself is one of wonder, love, life, death, grief, family, friendship, hope and despair, all intrinsically entangled into the most emotional and beautiful stage show I have ...

nathaniel hawthorne young goodman brown :: Article Creator Hawthorne: The Artist Of New England Nathaniel Hawthorne died in 1864, in the midst of the Civil War, a social revolution which he profoundly distrusted; he was traveling in New Hampshire for his health with his old college friend Franklin Pierce, whose presidency of the United States (1853 to 1857) had been a failure because of his personal weakness and his attempts to compromise with the South, to head off the coming struggle. Hawthorne had felt that he himself, was also a failure. His sudden death in a New Hampshire inn ended his struggle to climb out of the despondency and creative frustration of his last years, when he was unable to complete any of his projects. He had always thought that to be a "mere storyteller" in New England demanded too much of his imaginative will. Despite a fair success with his first novels, The...

flat stanley :: Article Creator Crawford Takes 8-year-old's Flat Stanley On Blackhawks Adventure CHICAGO -- An eight-year-old girl from Indiana was hoping that Corey Crawford would take Flat Stanley on some adventures for a class project. The Chicago Blackhawks goaltender was happy to oblige. Sofia Cackowski attends Greensburg Elementary School in Greensburg, Indiana, about four hours south of Chicago. A few weeks ago, Cackowski, 8, wrote Crawford a letter, asking him if he could take Flat Stanley on adventures and take a picture with the Blackhawks. Flat Stanley, for those who may not be familiar, is a character from a popular children's book series. Because he is flat, he can travel easily around the world by being mailed in an envelope. Crawford took pictures of Stanley in the Blackhawks locker room, in the Zamboni tunnel, and with former Blackhawks forwards Patrick Sharp ...
