![]() ![]() On the last day of December, 2009 Kate Zambreno began a blog called Frances Farmer Is My Sister, arising from her obsession with the female modernists and her recent transplantation to Akron, Ohio, where her husband held a university job. Taking the self out feels like obeying a gag order-pretending an objectivity where there is nothing objective about the experience of confronting and engaging with and swooning over literature." - from Heroines ![]() I am beginning to realize that taking the self out of our essays is a form of repression. ![]()

![]() ![]() Liegt eventuell am Genre, ändert aber leider nichts daran, dass es mir nicht gefallen hat.Īlles in allem keine Empfehlung und ich versuche es mal mit einem anderen Genre. Nicht das ich Vergewaltigungen irgendwie gut heißen würde aber den Übergang von verängstigtes Mädchen zu grausame Königen scheine ich verpasst zu haben.ĭas Konzept von Consent ging diesem Buch völlig ab. Was ich dann allerdings nicht mehr überspringen konnte war das Ende, bei dem Sie dann irgendwie zu einer grausamen Queen mutiert und den Kopf eines Vergewaltigers fordert.

Vielleicht ist es das Genre oder meine Moral die mir hier im Weg stehen aber ich habs leider einfach nicht mit derartig toxischen Männern und Rape…ĭer Schreibstil war gut und es gab auch irgendwie Charakter Development aber die Story war eben leider gar nicht meins. ![]() ![]() ![]() It even covers the political fall out and lead in to the Cold War with Russia through the ultimate path to the hydrogen bomb as well. What a fantastic book.this major work of history takes the reader from the very beginnings of the journey of the theoretical insight of the people who first conceived of splitting the atom all the way through design, experiments, more design, tests, fabrication, more tests, Trinity (which is by far the most readable and intense part of the book), and ultimately the decision and action of dropping the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I would read about 10 pages a week and just study and try to absorb all I could from it. It took me almost 2 years to read this, but that was by design. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I was immediately intrigued-I love a good rock star romance but throw in the additions of some conflict that leads to romance.with all of them in the mix?! I was all in.Īs I was saying, this novel didn't fit the preconceived notions I had. This novel delves into the life and experiences of Bound-primarily Braxton, but to some extent all of the band members (Houston, Loren, and Rich) all get chapters and opportunities to get into our heads-an established band who has to take on a new member (Braxton) that they didn't even get to pick. I'm going to confess that I thought that a reverse harem romance would be this free for all, raunchy, wham bam thank you ma'am sexstastic reading experience and I'm absolutely certain that there are those version of a reverse harems out there but Lilac isn't one of them. Reid, and of course, we couldn't pass it up. Lilac was an opportunity to try a new to me subgenre of romance, reverse harem, and a new to us author, B.B. ![]() ![]() ![]() When he gives workshops in schools today, does Akala get the impression things are better for working class BAME children than they were 30 years ago? “I asked why and they said: ‘Gang members drive cars like yours.’ But gang members don’t have money and I’m not even the right age to be a gang member.” “I was stopped by the police recently,” he says. I had this armoury that could pick up on it and nip it in the bud and keep me in school.” Fortunately, my mum was already sending me to Pan-African society on Saturdays, so I’d learned to be prepared for this kind of discrimination. “But I was put in a special needs group because of a teacher who thought I was too bright for a working class brown boy. “I was one of the smartest kids in the class,” he says. Near the beginning of Natives, he describes how, when he was growing up in north London as a mixed race child (his father is Jamaican and his white mother is Scottish), some of his teachers resented his intelligence and tried to stop him from fulfilling his potential. Akala believes that education is the best way to empower young black people. ![]() ![]() ![]() This book brings a truckload of adventure with so many interesting details, despite being a novel in verse. My heart also went out to her for the level of loneliness, and every few pages, I’d imagine that I’d been left in her place. I learned so much from the ways she found water, generated power, scoured the town for food and resources, and just her general planning skill and sheer grit. Maddie is smart and resilient throughout the story, drawing strength from her canine companion, books from the library and the hope of seeing her family again somehow. I was worried that I would be too anxious to get through it, but I was enraptured by the whole experience! After a while, I couldn’t put this book down. ![]() This was my first survival novel ever! As a child, I had a terrible fear of abandonment, so this book is my worst nightmare come to life. Maddie is alone for months and has to safeguard herself from wild animals, terrible weather, and dangerous intruders, on top of the fear and loneliness of being all by herself. Soon after, they lose power and then water and Maddie has to fend for herself using a variety of ingenious means and the town resources at her disposal, including an empty library, grocery store, neighbors’ homes - you get the picture. Left alone with no human in sight, she bonds with a Rottweiler named George who is one of many abandoned pets. It follows 12-year-old Maddie who gets abandoned by some twist of fate when her entire town is mysteriously evacuated. ![]() Freeman’s debut survival middle-grade novel in verse. ![]() ![]() There was no proof it existed, other than that the scientific establishment had accepted the concept. It might be considered the first “dark matter,” an undetectable something theory said should be out there, the explanation for a number of problems having to do with electricity, the movement of light, even the whole concept of “nothing.” It was, according to one early-20th-century physicist, “accepted as a necessity by all modern physicists.” But as Einstein’s theory noted, there was no experimental confirmation for the substance. ![]() In the 19th century, ether (not to be confused with the once-popular anesthetic diethyl ether) was the medium that scientists believed filled space. In the U.S., a few understood it, but, in general, relativity was ridiculed as “totally impractical and absurd.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() NB All our estimates are based on business days and assume that shipping and delivery don't occur on holidays and weekends.

She had dug her way into my history-my hurt and wounds and traumas-and put a megaphone against my heart, writing down what came out in beautiful, simple and wonder-woman-powerful poetry. I felt winded, like I couldn’t speak or breathe. When I opened the cover of Lovelace’s book, I didn’t close it until I’d read the last page. My friend savoured Milk and Honey, reading one poem a day and letting all the words sink in. ![]() It was the back cover that seduced me: “The story of a princess turned damsel turned queen.” This alone was something I related to on multiple levels. ![]() ![]() It looked minimalistic, the white font screaming against a vacuum of matte black. Fairy tales? Would I be bored? In this moment, I realized that I had no idea what a modern book of poetry looked like. I didn’t know what I would find when I cracked the crisp front cover back. She picked up Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur I, The Princess Saves Herself In This One by Amanda Lovelace. I cannot explain how, but we were drawn to these tiny books, arranged in perfect formation next to each other. ![]() I was in Chapters one day with my best friend and we were stopped in our tracks by a shelf that cradled matte black covers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Don’t do this!” she said, sounding close to tears. I didn’t do anything wrong and I don’t deserve to be put away like some prisoner, Chris. “You don’t know that!” You don’t a damn thing about me except for the bullshit you’ve convinced yourself of! “There’s no way you’d be able to keep that promise, Munchkin,” he said gently as he turned onto the highway. Even if someone gets their hands on me I want you to know that I won’t talk. “I wouldn’t bother making promises that you can’t keep, Munchkin,” he said, cutting her off and whishing that she’d just give into exhaustion and to go to sleep so that he could pretend that he wasn’t going to f**k both their lives up in a matter of hours. ![]() You also don’t have to worry about me telling anyone about your family so if you can let me go and I promise-“ “Look, I understand there’s a lot out there that I don’t know about, but I’m willing to learn and while I learn, I promise that I’ll be really careful. ![]() |
