Dr. Emory Charbonneau, a pediatrician and marathon runner, disappears on a mountain road in North Carolina. By the time her husband Jeff, miffed over a recent argument, reports her missing, the trail has grown cold. Literally. Fog and ice encapsulate the mountainous wilderness and paralyze the search for her.
While police suspect Jeff of "instant divorce," Emory, suffering from an unexplained head injury, regains consciousness and finds herself the captive of a man whose violent past is so dark that he won't even tell her his name. She's determined to escape him, and willing to take any risks necessary to survive.
Unexpectedly, however, the two have a dangerous encounter with people who adhere to a code of justice all their own. At the center of the dispute is a desperate young woman whom Emory can't turn her back on, even if it means breaking the law.
As her husband's deception is revealed, and the FBI closes in on her captor, Emory begins to wonder if the man with no name is, in fact, her rescuer. 418 pages *****

PS - Non je n'ai pas terminée les 800 pages du livre de Stephen King (4K).....mais comme je lis seulement des livres sur mon iPad depuis le mois de juin (et j'ai du m'habituer au poid du iPad)(maintenant c'est le poid du livre ) j'alterne entre les deux, surtout qu'Amy m'a apprise à trouver des livres récents et gratuits sur iBooks (a ma bibliothèque les EBooks sont pas mal limités, mais je vais aller voir quelquefois s'il y a des nouveaux titres)

Life can turn on a dime—or stumble into the extraordinary, as it does for Jake Epping, a high school English teacher in Lisbon Falls, Maine. While grading essays by his GED students, Jake reads a gruesome, enthralling piece penned by janitor Harry Dunning: fifty years ago, Harry somehow survived his father’s sledgehammer slaughter of his entire family. Jake is blown away...but an even more bizarre secret comes to light when Jake’s friend Al, owner of the local diner, enlists Jake to take over the mission that has become his obsession—to prevent the Kennedy assassination. How? By stepping through a portal in the diner’s storeroom, and into the era of Ike and Elvis, of big American cars, sock hops, and cigarette smoke... Finding himself in warmhearted Jodie, Texas, Jake begins a new life. But all turns in the road lead to a troubled loner named Lee Harvey Oswald. The course of history is about to be rewritten...and become heart-stoppingly suspenseful. (Merci Louise d'être allé à la bibliothèque pour moi)...849 pages.

Seth Hubbard is a wealthy man dying of lung cancer. He trusts no one. Before he hangs himself from a sycamore tree, Hubbard leaves a new, handwritten, will. It is an act that drags his adult children, his black maid, and Jake into a conflict as riveting and dramatic as the murder trial that made Brigance one of Ford County's most notorious citizens, just three years earlier.
The second will raises far more questions than it answers. Why would Hubbard leave nearly all of his fortune to his maid? Had chemotherapy and painkillers affected his ability to think clearly? And what does it all have to do with a piece of land once known as Sycamore Row?

Vitrine de Noel chez Ogilvy
Les automates m'ont toujours fascinée!
Les vitrines mécaniques de Noël font partie de la tradition de Ogilvy et de Montréal depuis 1947 quand la première de ces spectaculaires devantures, fabriquées par Steiff Co., fut importée d’Allemagne. Plus d’une centaine de pièces mobiles mettent en vedette une myriade d’animaux de peluche faits à la main et des paysages enchanteurs remplissent les vitrines des rues Sainte-Catherine et de la Montagne.
Ces paysages illustrent les aspects traditionnels de Noël. « Le Moulin dans la forêt » et « Le Village Enchanté ». Chaque année, ils attirent les Montréalais et les visiteurs qui désirent échapper à la frénésie de la saison des Fêtes et venir tout simplement admirer ces magnifiques maquettes.-

Six feet of snow plopped onto the grounds of Stanley Park in Vancouver would literally cover a large fraction of the tourists who visit each year. It would be wise to avoid expansive parks during a freak storm, because even the beautiful things you are there to see will be shrouded in icy cold powder. (Like, your friends and family, for example.) Images: CP/Thinkstock
While these renderings aren’t entirely scientific (they are a little, but we didn’t call a snow scientist), they really give you a good idea of what it could be like. But here are photos of what actually happened in Buffalo
Meridy Dresden was once a free-spirited, fun-loving girl.All that changed when the boy she loved was killed in a tragic fire. Now, years later, Meridy must return to the South Carolina Low Country and summon the courage to make a decision that may destroy everything she's worked so hard to protect-including her heart.

Birds are getting drunk and passing out over Yukon!
Friends, don’t drink and fly.
Birds are having a bit of trouble holding their liquor in the Yukon. As the cold weather approaches, Bohemian waxwings are busy stuffing their faces full of mountain ash berries in preparation to wait out the frosty season. But the declining temperatures are affecting the bird’s favourite snack in a way you’d never expect.“What happens around this time of year is that after the frost, the berries will ferment and so the birds actually can get a little intoxicated from eating these berries and they do in fact get drunk,” Meghan Larivee with the animal health unit at Environment Yukon told the CBC.
A “little intoxicated” is probably an understatement. The alcohol makes the birds’ flight patterns a little wonky, and they’ve begun crashing into windows and other objects. As a solution, Environment Yukon set up an avian drunk tank to help the birds sober up. Residents are even being encouraged to pick up any drunk or unconscious birds they find and bring them in so the animals can ride out what’s sure to be a nasty hangover.
And for any birds that require a little extra care, they’re sent to a rehab (we’re not kidding) at the Yukon Wildlife Preserve.
Never. Drinking. Again.
