Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames7/8/2023 It’s written in an epistolary style, and I was taken by how the writing itself uses spelling, grammar, punctuation and diction to indicate the rise and loss of the fictive author’s cognitive skills, reflecting the story line. “Flowers for Algernon,” by Daniel Keyes, was an influential book for me when I was growing up, and I’ve found that few people seem to have read it.

Haunting adeline book cover7/8/2023 The book cranks up the themes of trafficking and abuse while trading the spicy scenes of the first book for gratuitous violence. Picking up immediately after the first book, Zade rushes to rescue Adeline and take revenge on her kidnappers. Despite the title being one misspelling away from the first book’s, the sequel somehow takes things in a much starker and sinister direction. There’s not much that could follow up on Haunting Adeline like its sequel, Hunting Adeline. We’ve tried to balance between more accessible titles with the same atmosphere and some spicier books to follow up on Haunting Adeline’s other best feature. These books have that same overhanging dread mixed with romance, some haunted literally and others psychologically, but these books will send tingles down your spine, among other places. The haunting is a psychological one here, relying more on atmosphere and some spicy scenes to keep readers invested as Adeline and leading man Zade play their cat-and-mouse game. An extremely dark tale of a woman being stalked and toyed with by a vigilante as she investigates her great-grandmother’s death. Carlton’s Haunting Adeline is just the latest Gothic romance breakout to catch the literary world’s attention. Leonard cohen the goal lyrics7/7/2023 He admits defeat but tries his best to move forward, just like the leaves on the trees, and the shine on the chrome is almost alive, just as he is. In the fourth stanza, the speaker is sitting in his chair, looking out into the street, and notices the neighbor returning home. He accepts that he cannot stop the rain or snow, and he's limited in his ability to control his life circumstances. The third stanza acknowledges that the narrator's current problems began far in the past and that it's too late to try and undo things now. The narrator also acknowledges that some things that he once thought were valuable have turned out to be garbage (trash), while also realizing that at the same time, he has paid a heavy price for them. This seems to be referring to the idea that he has finally come to terms with the personal demons that have been plaguing him for a while. The second stanza goes on to describe his feelings of settling at last some sort of account of the soul. He admits that he is going down again, although he's not alone. The first stanza of the song "The Goal" by Leonard Cohen describes the speaker's deep sense of depression and isolation, something that's interpreted from the fact that he cannot leave his house or answer the phone. God of malice rina kent7/7/2023 In a conclusion, the book is knowledge-giving and interesting at the same time. Here the author tells us that our nutritional advice is outdated and what was suitable fifty years back is not suitable today and the reason that we are crowded with chronic diseases is that we are following outdated information for our nutritional problems. In this book, the author tells us that according to the advice of medical professionals, and other health committees we are cutting down the number of saturated fats but they are not much dangerous in fact they are beneficial, and excessive marathon running is also not as beneficial as it is considered. He is of opinion that it is the need of the hour that we should educate people about why to do and then how to do.

As she penetrates farther into the alchemical labyrinth, she is haunted both by her own history and by that of her neighbours, the menacing Mrs Zetterberg and the disfigured Pluto - and, finally, by the enigma of Smith himself. In the medieval cellar she unearths a hidden manuscript and begins to read of secret fire and mysterious prime matter, a green lion and a raven's head, a fatal conjunction of king and queen, a descent into Blackness and putrefaction.

Torn by Amber Lehman7/7/2023 “Standing on the sidelines and doing nothing about it makes a person as guilty as the one doing the terrorizing.” “Phoenix is not being bullied himself, but he sees another person being bullied and feels miserable that he’s doing nothing to help,” Lehman said. This predicament, constructed solely around her counterpart’s sexuality, left deep scars. In her early 20s, Lehman, who identifies as bisexual, witnessed her friends being harassed and roughed up. The relationship petered out, and he disappeared, she added.Īlong with effectively opening Lehman’s eyes to the fact that things aren’t always as they appear, her high school partner served as a catalyst for the Lake Forest resident’s latest venture - “Boy Out of Bounds.”įor the 40-year-old Lehman, the story of Phoenix, a Newport Beach teenager who is struggling to come to terms with his sexuality amid a fear of bullying, is personal. “I was surprised and a little shocked,” Lehman said, “but mostly I was sad that he couldn’t tell me himself.” Lehman, then 16, recalled a sense of bewilderment about her former beau, who exuded a “tough guy” vibe. When Amber Lehman transferred schools to join her boyfriend, everyone knew something about him that she didn’t. Among the Tlinget of Alaska, as in many traditional societies, labor lasts no longer than two or three hours. In Uganda, for example, a pregnant woman works in the fields until contractions begin and occasionally lifts a moderately heavy burden-a waterpot or bundle of firewood-to stimulate and shorten labor. In her examination of nearly 500 cultures, the author found pregnancy to be a time of excellent physical and mental health, often with an emphasis on physical activity throughout pregnancy to facilitate delivery. Here are remarkable stories of pregnancy, childbirth, and nurturing-the Japanese woman who knows she is pregnant by the increased strength of her pulse.the Tiv mother who delivers her child in a specially constructed birth chair.the Ibo woman lovingly massaging her newborn according to an ancient procedure. Now, for today's mothers, she conveys the customs, practices, and lore passed from woman to woman in the world's traditional societies. Author Judith Goldsmith set out to recover what came before the high-tech practices of modern medicine. This book restores to women the legacy of their foremothers-the childbirth wisdom developed over the ages, throughout the world, by women in cultures other than our own. |
