This enables unexpected discoveries not possible from traditional finding aids. HTR allows handwritten documents to be full-text searchable, just as Optical Character Recognition (OCR) allows printed books, newspapers, and other works to be searched. The hand-written material included in the collection will have Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) applied, making it one of the first Gale Primary Source archives to do so from scratch. It also sheds light on the British Empire in Asia, China’s transformation from empire to republic, mainland China-Hong Kong relations, and the international politics of East Asia.

I also felt like the descriptions were vivid enough that I could imagine myself there. I loved that at the end of each chapter, they left cliff hangers that kept me wanting to find out what would happen next.

They add so much to the stories, to see how the kids are dressed or what the fantastical creatures look like. I've always liked the images in the MTH books, but the Merlin Mission books seem to have more frequent and more detailed pictures. The illustrations in the Merlin Missions have been really great as well. Jack and Annie are getting old fast, it's been a year a a half since the Merlin Missions began. Maybe reading stories like this helps that along. On the other hand, sometimes things come out of my guys' mouths that are so sweet and perceptive that I am truly humbled. Sometimes these kids seem impossibly wise. Such a great fantasy at any age, who wouldn't want to try that? Plus another very exciting transformation (ravens and flying in the last book) into seals swimming in the sea. ![]() I love the mythology! What a fun way to introduce kids to selkies and King Arthur's sword and more. ![]() ![]() ![]() He was known for his charm and impeccable taste. ![]() Wylde Sterling had made quite a name for himself in his hometown of Roanoke, Virginia, working for a wedding planner that catered to the elite. ![]() So, imagine his disdain when a wedding planner moves into the suite directly adjacent to his… an insanely masculine, male wedding planner.

Jacob was a determined man, set at keeping people at a distance. His mother, his high school sweetheart, his father, and his fiancé, all left Jacob just when he felt it was safe to let down his guard. “Everyone left,” were the words he lived by. I got it.”įrom high school, up until he became a successful attorney Jacob Snowden was convinced that love had it out for him.
