![]() As a result, he has been forbidden joy in his life, including the claiming of his mate. If you've read the earlier books in the series, you probably remember Cadeon as the cursed demon that is viewed as responsible for the loss of his brother's crown. This OCD, sheltered, twenty-something university instructor is about to have her tidy life turned upside down. Of course, whether her child will fall on the side of good or evil is largely thought to depend upon the father.Ĭue the suspenseful! Poor virginal Holly is being hunted by immortal factions from both sides. She is prophesied to bear a child that will be incredibly powerful and has the potential to turn the tides in the immortal war between good vs. This book centers on Holly, a not quite transitioned immortal, who is the "vessel". ![]() In any case, I just didn't connect with this story like I have the others. Since the storylines are very similar, it could just be that it's getting a little redundant. The fact that I've been reading the books back to back might be a factor also. The heroine, Holly, in particular, didn't speak to me. I liked it, but it was one of those middle of the road, "okay" types of reads for me. As much as I'm loving this series, I have to admit that I didn't love this book as much as the others. ![]() The pretties book series6/7/2023 ![]() Either way, Tally's world will never be the same. It all comes down to one last choice: listen to that tiny, faint heartbeat, or carry out the mission she's programmed to complete. ![]() Still, it's easy to tune that out - until Tally's offered a chance to stamp out the rebels of the New Smoke permanently. One tiny corner of her heart still remembers something more. The strength, the speed, and the clarity and focus of her thinking feel better than anything Tally can remember. But Tally's never been ordinary.Īnd now she's been turned into one of them: a superamped fighting machine, engineered to keep the uglies down and the pretties stupid. ![]() Ordinary pretties might live their whole lives without meeting a Special. Back then Specials were a sinister rumor - frighteningly beautiful, dangerously strong, breathtakingly fast. ![]() The words have sent chills down Tally's spine since her days as a repellent, rebellious ugly. ![]() Stephen fry odyssey6/6/2023 ![]() James Heneage captures the full Grecian drama in this riveting, short history, revealing Greece as the wellspring of Western civilization-and a model that may yet save modern democracy. Today’s nation is battered by austerity, encroaching climate change, and a refugee crisis-yet unwavering in its ancient values. E ver since William Godwin persuaded Charles Lamb to retell The Odyssey as a novel for younger readers in The Adventures of Ulysses (1808), the myths of ancient Greece have been retold in. Greece’s modern chapter, too, tells of triumph and calamity-from liberation and expansion to schism, homegrown dictatorship, Nazi occupation, and civil war. “Byzantine” conjures decadence and deadly intrigue, yet the thousand-year empire that ruled from Constantinople and saved Europe twice from invasion was, in fact, Greek. Pericles and the Parthenon may be familiar, but what of Epaminondas, the Theban general who saved the Greek world from Spartan tyranny? Alexander the Great’s fame has rolled down the centuries, but the golden Hellenistic Age that followed is largely forgotten. Philosophy, art, democracy, language, even computers-the glories of Greek civilization have shaped our world even more profoundly than we realize. On coming out as Jewish, being recommended the best therapist he’s ever had by John Cleese, and why he chose celibacy for years. The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read. ![]() ![]() ![]() Discover the cultural and political riches of Greece across 3,000 years, from classical might to modern rebirth. ![]() Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire6/6/2023 ![]() "Jamie Mcguire's problematic past turns fans against Beautiful Disaster".
Dyachenko vita nostra6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() "Because this given piece of plastic has nothing in common with the process and events that we are talking about, that we spend time studying. "It will not." Portnov let the pen fall on his desk. Second years, Group A, maintained a tense silence. Here is a pen." He tossed up and caught a dark-blue pen with a white top. However, there is also another misconception-by which a name automatically defines the properties of an object. "By the way, consider this: the contradictory nature of a statement almost certainly proves its legitimacy. A name is like a forked stick that we use to hold a snake on the ground." Portnov imitated using a forked branch to press down an imaginary viper. And at the same time we prevent it from changing. By verbally identifying an object, by giving it a name, we alter it. This is a common misconception not unlike the 'world is flat' belief. “What's in a name? that which we call a rose/By any other name would smell as sweet.' In other words, the essence of an object does not change depending on it's name. ![]() American hookup by lisa wade6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This volume includes the result of many interviews and numerous quotes from students. As an academic study, few average readers would likely enjoy this study unless seriously interested in the subject. This book is a detailed treatise of Wade’s collected data. Starting with student assignments in her sociology classes regarding the students’ sexual lives and experiences and continuing with collecting data on sex and romance on her on campus, her research further continued on a tour of twenty-four campuses in eighteen states. Sociologist Lisa Wade obviously spent many years to research the topic of hookup culture and to write American Hookup, a formidable volume backed by countless student interviews. This is a very serious, well-researched and informative academic study on the sexual hookup culture of colleges and universities. ![]() Nixonland amazon6/6/2023 ![]() ![]() “Call me Chuck,” he said, before showing off his print of John and Yoko’s wedding day-“It’s the original, you know”-and offering them the city’s golf courses as campsites. If you guys smoke a little pot, I’m not going to send my men in after you.” They got the same welcome from Mayor Charles Hall. Yippies met with Miami Beach’s glad-handing liberal police chief, who laid out the ground rules: “Fellas, I don’t believe in trying to enforce laws that can’t be enforced. Only tiny left-wing splinter groups considered McGovern the enemy. “McGovern Backer No Longer Thinks Sons, Daughters, Should Kill Parents,” the RNC magazine First Monday headlined an interview with Rubin. They wouldn’t be doing much in the way of protesting, they promised, so long as the nomination wasn’t stolen from McGovern. Everywhere, Hoffman and Rubin were mobbed by cops hoping to make it into the documentary that rumor had it Warner’s had paid them millions to shoot. Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin set up housekeeping at the run-down Albion Hotel, where Rita Hayworth and Orson Welles once honeymooned. ![]() ![]() One of them was Robert Redford, arriving by train, promoting ‘The Candidate’ on a mock whistle-stop tour. Democrats started straggling into Miami Beach the second week in July, 1972. ![]() Neonomicon6/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() In providing a metatextual counterpoint and companion to the works of H.P. ![]() Neonomicon goes too far in just about every respect that these things are charted upon. Unfortunately for us and the above textual cliffhanger, comics’ mad (you pick whether this means “crazy” or “angry”) old sage was right. (Reader advisory: mature subject matter after the jump!) In an interview with Scotland’s The Skinny magazine last September, Alan Moore had this to say about Neonomicon: “I went back and read through the scripts, and I thought, ‘Have I gone too far?’ Looking back, yes, maybe I have gone too far - but it’s still a good story.” No offense, Alan, but we’ll be the judge of that. But as NEONOMICON draws to a close, Brears has one more thing she wants to show you… But now that Brears has walked out of hell, she can see things that most people can’t. Hell just happens to look like a network of tunnels beneath an esoteric little bookstore in Salem, Mass. The cataclysmic final issue of the all-new, all Alan Moore, horror series spoken of only in hushed whispers for years is finally here! NEONOMICON, the sequel to THE COURTYARD Graphic Novel, is slithering its way onto shelves to take its place as a Great Old One of comics terror! Illustrated by Moore’s favorite demented artist, Jacen Burrows, NEONOMICON pulls no punches as every full-colored page is covered in nightmares brought to gruesome life! Agent Brears has, quite literally, been to hell and back. ![]() The heart principle by helen hoang6/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Anna and Quan have to fight for their chance at love, but to do that, they also have to fight for themselves. Their first attempt at a one-night stand fails, as does their second, and their third, because being with Quan is more than sex-he accepts Anna on an unconditional level that she herself has just started to understand.

The more unacceptable the men, the better. Translation: She's going to embark on a string of one-night stands. ![]() And when her longtime boyfriend announces he wants an open relationship before making a final commitment, a hurt and angry Anna decides that if he wants an open relationship, then she does, too.
