REVIEW TOUR:

CRAVE BY YOU (Stark Security) by J. Kenner at The Reading Cafe:

'The fast paced, character driven premise is intriguing and suspenseful'

[vilisisms]

"ok, how does this sound? my mom's the chief of police, the pack hours-- her house, isn't too far away. you'll be safe there." it was where he was headed, knowing his mom would know exactly what to do, or at least how to help them. "i'm not going to hurt you, i promise-- i want to help. if not to my mom's house than at least to the nearest hospital. it'll be safe there until the attacks stop."

"yes, i'm sure." the redhead almost snapped as she turned to look at the other. no, no, she had to be nice. but nice always posed a risk in a situation like this. "see, i would go with you but a, i don't know where you will take me and b, i don't know who you are. look i'll be fine so you can just go."

Ultra rare 'Star Wars' Boba Fett figure sells for record-breaking $1.34M

A Kenner 1979 J-Slot (Version 2) Rocket-Firing (Mailer) Prototype Boba Fett, described as the "Holy Grail" of "Star Wars" toys, sold for a record-breaking $1,342,000. Photo courtesy of Goldin

Aug. 19 (UPI) -- An extremely rare prototype Boba Fett action figure made for Kenner's Star Wars line in 1979 sold for a record-breaking $1,342,000.

Goldin auctions said the Kenner 1979 J-Slot (Version 2) Rocket-Firing (Mailer) Prototype Boba Fett, which never made it to market, is now the most expensive toy ever sold, the most expensive action figure ever sold and the most expensive non-prop Star Wars-related item ever sold.

The auctioneer said the action figure is one of only 30 ever produced, is the highest-graded example of the three known to still exist and is the first to be sold at auction.

The toy was made as a prototype in 1979 but never made it to market due to the risk of injury to children from its firing rocket.

A similar Boba Fett figure previously became the world's most expensive vintage toy when it was auctioned for $525,000 in June. That figure was one of 70 prototypes made with an "L-slot" firing mechanism.

The Boba Fett sold by Goldin is the first "J-slot" to ever make it to auction.

"This item is looked at as one of the most important in the hobby," said Ken Goldin, founder and CEO of Goldin. "This is the first time a Mailer J-Slot V2/ Missile example has come up for auction, making this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own this iconic piece of the Star Wars franchise."

Boba Fett has set another world record This unique Kenner J-slot rocket firing Boba Fett prototype just sold for $1,342,000 at Goldin It's a new record for the highest price of any Star Wars figure at auction, previously set by none other than Boba Fett This one was unusual in that it was painted like the final release and included two missiles plus a box demonstrating the final mailer

HISTORY

Mackenzie had always felt protective and maternal, especially as they grew up amongst the Crescents during the Crescent curse, their parents forced to live their days as wolves with one night every month, the full moon, to be with their children in human form. Unfortunately in Mackenzie's teen years, the strain of feeling like she held the weight of the world on her shoulders as she tried to navigate who she was while also ensuring that her siblings were safe and cared for, her growing aggression and temper tended to get the better of her and always somehow found herself in fights with the other untriggered teens. Around this time, however, Mackenzie found herself falling in love. It was a whirlwind kind of relationship, one that made Mackenzie feel more alive than ever, more carefree and making riskier choices than she used to. Thus resulting in her getting pregnant. The first year with her son was amazing. The new parents doting over the little boy until they found out that she had fallen pregnant once more, this time a set of twins. Her partner became distant and was in and out of her and their kids lives. The anger that boiled within her as the realization that she was now a single mother to 3 children under the age of 3 while still being somewhat of a child herself had increased the level of stress that she had already been feeling. It didn't take long for someone to push her buttons to far before she ended up in another fight this time her aggression far too much for her to control thus resulting in Mackenzie's triggering of her gene at the age of 21, leaving her children to be cared for by her younger sister, Sierra. It would be 2 years before Hayley Marshall would come along and have the curse broken, allowing Tara to reunite with her now 3 and 4 year old children. Fast forward to now and Tara had quickly gotten her life together, her main focus on her children and providing for them, put herself through university online while working a full-time job from home and caring for her children, attending the police academy and working her way up in rank to where she is today with the help of her pack.

REVIEW:

WICKED HEAT (Wicked Nights 4) by J. Kenner at The Reading Cafe:

'The premise is dramatic, captivating and emotional'

[pchuaymee]

Ouija board's stories in other cultures.

Hello, everyone!

Today, I will you story about Ouija board, or it can call as "Talking board", or "Spirit board". It is a divination tool for summon a spirit, a demon, an angel, or an entity for talking via by board or paper with alphabets, numbers, and those words are "Yes", "No", and "Goodbye". And it movable by a planchette, a pen, a coin, a sauce tray or a sauce dish, or an empty glass. Also, you can use pendulum or dowsing rod for automatic writing too.

And today, I'll tell a Ouija or spirit board story in other cultures that I can do find a few stories.

In the Western culture.

There is said to use the Ouija board for communication with a spirit, dates back to Ancient Greece era as far as 540 BC. (It is assumed it got the origin from China in ancient.). Pythagoras, who is Greek philosopher was believe in rebirth or spirit, did use talking board with his student's name was "Philolaus". Also, it has connected to Ancient Roman where two people used it for choosing the successors to be king too. Later in 1886, Elijah Bond and Charles Kenner were manufactured talking board in the first time in Chestertown, Maryland. And in 1890, they were giving a name is "Ouija" which from French is "Oui" and German is "Ja" after they did use it for gave a name to be called it by spelled that "O-U-I-J-A" with their cousin who is medium, her name is Helen Peters in Baltimore, Maryland. Thus, "Ouija" is meaning "Good luck". In 1891, Fuld brothers, William Fuld and Isaac Fuld. They bought the rights Ouija board and recorded a patent, and also, they renamed as "Ouija Novelty" by after they did acquisition form Kenner's group. But in 1901, Isaac was his license revoked by Ouija Novelty, but he still did make a Ouija board but is suspended by a judge. Until in 1920, court declared William did won and he did can manufacture Ouija board. Later, in 1966, Fuld's family sold the right to Parker Brothers after William Fuld was passed away by his accident in 1927. In present, Ouija board's image is popular, and it is a standard setting psychical of talking board or spirit board for divination or talking with an entity or a spirit in western cultural too.

In the Chinese culture.

There is assumed that beginning in 551 BC approximately in Zhou dynasty era or in 420 BC about in Liu Song dynasty era when China was Northern and Southern dynasties era. There was used planchette writing by automatic writing with moving by dowsing a rod that called "Fuji or Fu-chi (Chinese: 扶乩/扶箕: Pinyin: fújī)". It uses for calling and talking with gods, goddesses or deities, or a spirit. It became popular in Song dynasty era around in 1100. But it blocked in Qing dynasty era. In present, Fuji is always to use in formally as calling gods, goddesses, or deities in Taoism Temples. And it has way to calling or summon a ghost or spirit for people who don't need to be informally, and they can do it in everywhere by the bottom dish with red arrow down for moving and paper or board has Chinese characters. It called "Die-Xian (Chinese: 碟仙 Pinyin: Dié xiān)". It can call as "Dish spirit" too.

In Japanese culture.

The talking board or spirit board in Japanese version is called "Kokkuri (Japanese: こっくり)", "Kokkuri-san (Japanese: こっくりさん)". It uses for summoning or calling an entity or an animal spirit. Its origin psychical is three bamboo rods arranged to make a tripod upon which is covered by a cloth, or they have tags are inserted into each of the word from animal's names are fox, dog and tanuki. For other words are trancing with finger on the bottom plate. In another story, there is said in 1884. American sailor has brought table turning to Japan and it became so popular. Because it cannot be easy to be find in that time, thus, they did stack up three sets of round rice containers and play that way which they would lean. It was said that "Kokkuri, kokkuri to katamuku (Japanese: こっくり、こっくりと傾く。)" It is meaning as "Leaning, they're leaning.". And the word is "Kokkuri" in Kanji that 「狐狗狸」 is from "fox (狐)", "dog (犬) or tengu (天狗)" and "Tanuki (狸)". It is meaning to summon or calling those an entities or spirit animals too. And it became popular since Meiji era. In present, Kokkuri in modern physical is paper with Torii door on the top-middle on papers and characters is usually writing with Hiragana characters, numbers and a 10-yen coin for moving.

In Thai culture

Ouija board or Talking board in Thai version is called "Phi Thuai Khaeo (Thai: ผีถ้วยแก้ว)", it is Thai traditional game or summon a spirit or an entity. It is assumed from Chinese Ouija board is Fuji. But its physical is looking likes as Ouija board in western, but they are just drawing by a small glass instead of planchette. And should throw that small glass too.

OK, everyone. These are stories of Ouija board how to play are seem as "Using your finger to moving follow for answer, cannot cancel meanwhile you are playing before say 'Thank you' or 'Goodbye', and the last thing is you don't should be playing it alone and you must be brave person." And it may be dangerous to you too. Thus, let be fun with safety or just and read it for fun!

Happy Halloween!

HISTORY

Charlotte had always felt protective and maternal, especially as they grew up amongst the Crescents during the Crescent curse, their parents forced to live their days as wolves with one night every month, the full moon, to be with their children in human form. Unfortunately in Charlie’s teen years, the strain of feeling like she held the weight of the world on her shoulders as she tried to navigate who she was while also ensuring that her siblings were safe and cared for, her growing aggression and temper tended to get the better of her and always somehow found herself in fights with the other untriggered teens. Around this time, however, Charlie found herself falling in love. It was a whirlwind kind of relationship, one that made Charlotte feel more alive than ever, more carefree and making riskier choices than she used to. Thus resulting in her getting pregnant. The first year with her son was amazing. The new parents doting over the little boy until they found out that she had fallen pregnant once more, this time a set of twins. Her partner became distant and was in and out of her and their kids lives. The anger that boiled within her as the realization that she was now a single mother to 3 children under the age of 3 while still being somewhat of a child herself had increased the level of stress that she had already been feeling. It didn’t take long for someone to push her buttons to far before she ended up in another fight this time her aggression far too much for her to control thus resulting in Charlie’s triggering of her gene at the age of 21, leaving her children to be cared for by the untriggered wolves. It would be 2 years before Hayley Marshall would come along and have the curse broken, allowing Tara to reunite with her now 3 and 4 year old children. Fast forward to now and Charlie had quickly gotten her life together, her main focus on her children and providing for them, put herself through university online while working a full-time job from home and caring for her children, attending the police academy and working her way up in rank to where she is today with the help of her pack.
