Run on Red

Product Information

Ziggy,” which I now knew was short for “Zachariah,” was the supremely awkward humanities TA who stared at me during class. Laura and I had found his Facebook profile one night and learned, to our horror and delight, that he was a member of the Pen and Quill Society: a LARPing group on campus. Ziggy was a “mage”: which Laura and I had to Google. It meant he was some kind of magician. Green River,” I clarified with an exaggerated sigh. “Or Gary Ridgway, same guy. Go easy on the turns.” I rested one hand out the uneven window ledge, so the cool night air hit my face in a slap that smelled like sage. Ultimately, the lesson you take away from a novel will depend on your own interpretation and the specific book you read. However, the act of reading itself can promote critical thinking, empathy, and personal growth, which can have a positive impact on your life beyond the lessons of any one particular novel. Laura’s eyes were closed, and her breathing was already steady and deep. She hadn’t heard the noise.

The music pumping through the old boombox lasted until we approached the final turnoff onto the long dirt road that led to the reservoir. I’d always thought of myself as a true-crime junkie. But it turned out, that was only when it happened to other people.” Laura?” I whispered, my voice raw and unsteady. “Are you okay?” In the darkness beyond the narrow beam of light cast by the Volvo’s one surviving headlight, a bird shrieked in the night. The bonfire at the reservoir had started more than an hour ago, and as far as I could tell we were the only car on the road—aside from the tailgaters. Laura had waited until my shift ended at the Pie Hole to make the tedious, winding drive through the hills. I pictured the smiling, sun-kissed boy I’d seen on Tish’s Facebook profile, wearing a Band of Horses T-shirt. He was incredibly good-looking.At first, I couldn’t stop shaking and crying. I still wasn’t sure what we should do next, but I wasn’t alone anymore. And we had a phone with enough battery power if we could just get it to connect. When the headlights in the rearview mirror didn’t disappear after a few seconds, Laura slowed the Volvo to a crawl and motioned more dramatically, her pale skin illuminated in the foggy beams. “Go around, dumbass,” she said in a soft singsong.

I shivered. Thinking about Ava Robles was not helping my state of mind. “How much longer until we get there?” I asked. You definitely have a concussion,” I said as matter-of-factly as I could, not wanting her to worry. I could worry enough for both of us. Maybe I should take the phone and try to get a signal, so I can call for help,” I said slowly. I really didn’t want to get out of the Volvo or walk through the darkness by myself, but Laura’s injury had me worried. What was the rule of threes for concussions? Ultimately, the best time to read a book is whenever you have a chunk of time available and are in the right mindset to focus on reading. Experiment with different times of day to see what works best for you. Overall, reading is a valuable and enriching activity that can provide many benefits. Whether you read for pleasure, personal growth, or professional development, the time spent reading is never wasted.

There’s nowhere to pull over,” I mumbled, wishing I’d gone to the library with Tish instead of “putting myself out there” tonight. “And this is definitely a no-passing zone.” The isolated two-lane rural highway made me nervous, even in the daytime. Time seemed to expand as our vehicles approached one another and Laura leaned farther out the window, causing the Volvo to wobble violently in our lane. For a moment, before Laura could correct our path, we veered over the centerline, toward the Suburban. Incoming freshman Ava Robles had gone missing near Coffin Creek three years earlier. The same year Laura and I had started at University of Idaho. I hadn’t known her. Neither had Laura. We weren’t on the guest list for that particular party. There is no specific age when you should start reading novels. Some children develop an interest in reading at a young age, while others may not discover a love for reading until later in life. It is important to encourage children to read at a young age to promote literacy and cognitive development, but it is also never too late to start reading novels as an adult.

Additionally, novels can offer insights into different cultures, historical periods, and social issues, providing an opportunity to expand your knowledge and empathy. Please, please, please. The words raced through my head, a mantra or a desperate prayer—for another pair of headlights, divine intervention, anything but the feel of those clammy, grasping hands on my skin again. What I really liked also, was when the chips were down and I mean WAY down and the girls had to dig super deep - it was interesting to see how their tenacity and courage came to the top. Olivia is terrified (rightly so) but she really comes to the party with her bravery. This is also not a smooth sailing ‘action film’ style story. There are many bumps along the way, mistakes are made and pretty ordinary things happen. While it is a bit scary there aren’t too many really bad trigger warnings. There should be—” I began as the other vehicle abruptly swerved left and pulled up alongside us on the narrow straightaway. It was so close to us that if Laura reached her hand out the window, she could have touched the passenger’s side mirror. The Volvo weaved dangerously on the road while Laura struggled to keep the car in position, poking her head out the window to see instead of peering through the shattered windshield.Help us!” I screamed again at his closed driver’s side window, willing him to look at the broken windshield, to understand that something awful had happened. That something worse would happen if he didn’t intervene. The Volvo slowed to a crawl, tires sinking into the soft dirt. The body of the car was nearly level with the ground beneath now. The useless shoulder belt flopped around my chest. My lungs were on fire, and my vision swirled with indecipherable shapes of light and dark as the headlights bounced and cut out. What follows is a very formulaic read and to quote another reviewer, a bad Lifetime movie. As with most thrillers that have a small cast, the whodunit is predictable and kills any existing suspense. Some parts felt garbled and weren't explained well. In addition, reading has been shown to have long-term benefits for mental health, including reducing the risk of cognitive decline and depression.
