Tenacious readers eventually will be rewarded. The girl seems to be simple-minded and, although she feeds eagerly, grows as slowly as her gestation. Finally, to general astonishment, she gives birth to a strange, tiny, pale girl she and Tom name Bee. Still nobody believes her, least of all Tom, though even the servants are careful to humor her. Then 50-something Molly insists she’s pregnant. In his more contemplative moments, Tom wonders why he’s received no messages from the Fool, his companion and ally through the first six books. Hundreds of pages, literally and figuratively, dawdle by. Tom, though, makes no serious effort to discover anything about these mysterious events, being wholly occupied by family matters. Indeed, at the time of the midwinter festivals, he ignores a possibly important messenger in favor of pleasing her, and when he finally remembers, the messenger has vanished-possibly abducted by a group of pale strangers. He’s married to his childhood sweetheart, Molly, upon whom he dotes. FitzChivalry Farseer, royal bastard and former king’s assassin, has abandoned intrigue and, posing as Tom Badgerlock, holder of the Withywoods estate, lives the life bucolic. In this world of magic, the high born despise the Wit, an ability to connect to the minds of animals, yet prize the Skill, a powerful magic possessed by most of the Farseer kings and their kin. After a decade, Hobb ( Fool’s Fate, 2004, etc.) again takes up the characters from the Farseer series. Each lesson includes four REFLECT invites you to read key moments of each woman’s life in the Bible and connect with her story. You’ll reflect on how God focused on their faith and trust-and how He is doing the same with you. In these nine lessons, you will consider the parallels between the relationships, experiences, and challenges of women in the Bible as mothers and daughters and your own. This workbook is based on the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Mothers and Daughters of the Bible Speak. They are often used to change the course of history, but more importantly, these female relationships and roles reveal a deeper depth of God’s love for and faithfulness to each of us. EXPLORE THE INTIMATE CONNECTION BETWEEN FAITH AND FAMILY God uses mothers and daughters in critical roles throughout the Old and New Testaments. It includes how we live and what we do-everywhere. Regeneration is what life has always done, we are life, and that is our focus. Regeneration is an inclusive and effective strategy compared to combating, fighting, or mitigating climate change. Our concern is simple: most people in the world remain disengaged, and we need a way forward that engages the majority of humanity. To the contrary, we praise and are grateful for all approaches. We do not oppose other strategies and plans. Our approach to reversing climate change differs from other proposals. The most common question about the crisis is “What should I do?” How can a person or entity create the greatest impact on the climate emergency in the shortest time? Most people do not know what to do, or may believe the things they can do are insufficient. At this writing, we are going backward and increasing emissions. Ending the crisis means that by 2030 collective action by humanity will have reduced total greenhouse gas emissions by 45 to 50 percent. Ending the crisis does not complete the challenge of global warming. Our purpose is to end the climate crisis in one generation. The Foundation has entered its religious phase, promulgating the Church of Seldon throughout the Outer Reach and inciting the Second Crisis: war with Empire. Hari, Gaal, and Salvor discover a colony of Mentalics with psionic abilities that threaten to alter psychohistory itself. As the Cleons unravel, a vengeful queen plots to destroy Empire from within. Season 2 is set more than a century after the finale of the first season, “tension mounts throughout the galaxy in Foundation season two. Enraged by Hari's claims, the ruling Cleons - a long line of emperor clones - fear their unrivaled reign may be weakening as they're forced to reckon with the potential reality of losing their powerful legacy forever." Hari Seldon predicts the impending fall of the Empire, “he and a band of loyal followers venture to the far reaches of the galaxy to establish The Foundation in an attempt to rebuild and preserve the future of civilization. The story chronicles a band of exiles on their epic journey to save humanity and rebuild civilization amid the fall of the Galactic Empire. We’ve got a new trailer for you to watch for the second season of Apple TV+’s ambitious series adaptation of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation. I loved how Lisette's relationships with others unraveled, especially with her parents. This Halloween activity was the perfect blend of escape room and hell, with the last challenge being so complicated it made me think: is it selfishness or is it Lisette being the only person who would do that - save herself? Although, is her determination enough? What awaits her at the end of that 13th realm? She fights with all of her might, determinted to escape the Hell and prove to herself and to the world that she is capable. The things happening in that haunted house can't be real. Soon, though, she starts to convince herself that everything is just an illusion. Lisette's bestie, Xavier, is not that enthusiastic, but nothing can stand in Lisette's way. This is an escape-room style Haunted House that sounds like a perfect way to get the money (and a perfect bait). There is only one thing that drives her: a prize of ten thousand dolars to whoever manages to get through "The 13th Realm of Hell". Tired of her mother's secrets, delusions about magic and criminal nature, while the money problems are constantly looming over their heads, seventeen-year-old Lisette doesn't spare a second to question the new and mysterious Halloween activity that shows up in town. Mind Like a Diamond by Amanda Pavlov introduces us to the magical and twisted world of Lisette Colbert. so, to set the table, there was this girl who fell out of the sky, aka Candyland, and she’s naked. There was also SO much bodyshamming in this book. like whenever there was a remotely active scene, she would be like “i’m so fat, and i’m unhealthy,” and then she would be like “we’ll i did swimming, but i’m still fat.” and it was just so insane, and i just hated it with a passion. i mean, i can normally get threw a couple of pages, and maybe even a couple chapters of talk about weight, but this was honestly to the extreme. and just honestly this book was so terrible. and, i’ve dealt with weight and body image and also eating disorders in my life, and this book was so triggering. there’s pages and pages about how ugly she was because of her weight and that she can never be pretty. The biggest issue with this book in my mind is that there is all this negative talk about Cora’s weight. so, this book and also this blog post will have major trigger warnings for eating disorders and weight. this post will be super short, since i hated this book, and it was so triggering. Hello everyone! today i am going to be talking about beneath a sugar sky by Seanan McGuire. On a stage bare but for a bench, oversized chair and occasional back projections, we first meet Joe Bonham (McKenzie) leaving small-town America for WWI service, waving goodbye to loved ones from the train. Joseph embarked on this first feature upon discovering the sole archival video copy of that performance had been partially, accidentally erased. Smith’s solo stage version preemed Off Broadway in 1981, winning an Obie for thesp Jeff Daniels. While it has its defenders, that feature –Trumbo’s first and last directorial effort - is in many respects a good illustration of the “unfilmable book equals unwatchable movie” principal, dramatizing the source material’s stream-of-consciousness with heavy-handed literalness. The Oscar-winning, blacklisted author’s 1939 novel has been a classroom perennial, but attempts to film it (at one point, Luis Bunuel was slated to direct) were stymied until Trumbo took it upon himself to bankroll and direct a 1971 bigscreen version. If this seems like too many books, please know that: I don’t watch a lot of TV or movies anymore. I can give quick thoughts or opinions though if anyone needs it. What also changed (did it really) was I did not write reviews promptly, so now there are very few reviews posted of these reads. Well, if I were in the mood for it and it also fit some guidelines I’d set for myself (more indie, more AOC, try another genre sometimes). This means people tweeting sales and links to their new or backlist books helped because it reminded me of something I could be in the mood for, and I would just read it. Meaning I freed myself from that list of “read this soon” books and decided I would read a book whenever I felt like it. I started this year by getting rid of my TBR! I truly did. I’m still reading mostly romance, but with one big difference. Months where less books were read match months when I’m doing work on my own books (or book projects), and that really does drain me a bit so my leisure time goes to other things.Īt 45 titles from January to June, I think this is on track to be…an average reading year haha. And whoa, I’m really seeing which months I had the energy to read. Even though I’ve been sharing my reading year for several years now, I think this is the first time that I looked at it in terms of months. Keefe’s book fastens on all the ways in which the Sackler family is (more than partly) responsible for engineering one of the worst public health crises in American history: the opioids epidemic. Unfortunately for them, in Empire of Pain, their claims to invisibility are rendered hideously visible. For years, the Sackler family paid perfectly despicable amounts of money to emblazon their name everywhere-on art museums and universities and medical facilities around the world-while going to great ocean-spanning lengths to obscure and obfuscate their ties to and involvement in the pharmaceutical industry. Patrick Radden Keefe marshals a wealth of research and journalistic derring-do to tell the story of a family obsessed by greed, secrecy, immortality, and denial. I devoured this story as if my life hung on the balance, even when I deeply, intensely abhorred it. Empire of Pain is a staggering, whipping, relentlessly infuriating book that swallows you whole as soon as you step inside. |
