Upon arriving, there are no raging waters to be found but there is danger beyond anything that Martin Grey could imagine. ![]() He is taken to Forty Acres after agreeing to partake in a type of team-building whitewater rafting expedition. Coming off a high-profile win, Grey is invited to join an exclusive group of similarly minded successful black men. Martin Grey is an African American attorney on the very brink of fame and fortune. Forty Acres forces the issue, making readers address issues like slavery and reparation head on. So, you know, I'm not in the habit of really talking about race - or any potentially inflammatory subject like religion or politics - because I'd rather polite than start a fight. The desire to be politically correct is almost ingrained, at this point, and I'm terrified of being perceived as offensive when I'm trying to be anything but. It isn't that I think things are right or fair or equal between the races - just the opposite, but I don't know how to talk about it without causing offense or being antagonistic. As a Caucasian, I have difficulty verbalizing and discussing racial inequities and discrimination. ![]() This is awkward.I had a difficult time reading this book, and I'm having an even harder time reviewing it. ![]() Eleanor and Hick by Susan Quinn5/27/2023 ![]() Praise for Susan Quinn's Eleanor and Hick: “The love affair between first lady Eleanor Roosevelt and journalist Lorena “Hick” Hickok has never been treated with as much care or attention as in Susan Quinn’s Eleanor and Hick. Quinn will speak about her work, a warm, intimate account of the love between Eleanor Roosevelt and reporter Lorena Hickok-a relationship that, over more than three decades, transformed both women’s lives and empowered them to play significant roles in one of the most tumultuous periods in American history. ![]() Join us for a visit from Susan Quinn, the author of Eleanor and Hick: The Love Affair that Shaped a First Lady. Stonewall50: Eleanor & Hick: The Love Affair that Shaped a First Lady ![]() According to the Roosevelt Island Public Library: ![]() Stone soup book by marcia brown5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() The author's (Marcia Brown's) version of the the Stone Soup thematics clearly demonstrate that the peasants (the villagers) do not simply fear strangers in general, they specifically fear strangers who are soldiers. The illustrations notwithstanding, I am also pleasantly surprised by the story itself. A more than succesful marriage of text and image and if an author's note had been included, my now four star rating would most definitely have been moved to five stars (the mere fact that Marcia Brown's Stone Soup, that this 1948 Caldecott Honour book is still in current print, that alone already speaks volumes). ![]() And those illustrations really are wonderful (attention to detail, captured movement, realistic facial expressions), and the simple combination of white, black, grey and orange shades works surprisingly well. ![]() As someone who generally likes and actually much prefers lushly coloured and hued illustrations, I was not expecting to enjoy Marcia Brown's version of the European folktale of Stone Soup as much as I have. ![]() Mindwalker by kate dylan5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Which is why I wanted to offer writers a place to talk about sub-candidly and anonymously-so that those entering the trenches for the first time can read about their experiences and get a better feel for how varied the process can be and just how weird, wonderful, and downright wacky things can get.īecause if there’s one guarantee in publishing, it’s that it won’t ever behave the way you expect.ĭisclaimer: reading about sub (and in particular, reading success stories) can get overwhelming when you’re out on sub yourself, which is why the stories have been signposted according to the key below. ![]() Closely followed by: what does this mean? Is this a good sign? Is it bad? Does this mean a deal is just around the corner? Can I stop eating my fingernails for dinner yet? ![]() In fact, is this normal? is perhaps the most commonly asked question among my group of friends on sub. The third rule of sub club is-well, you get the point.Īs writers, it’s so drummed into us to shut up and not talk about sub that most writers go into the process without any frame of reference for what’s normal. The second rule of sub club is: you do not talk about sub club. The first rule of sub club is: you do not talk about sub club. ![]() ![]() ![]() When she feels insecure about an imperfection in her art, her dad's point out that the personal quirks make her princess unique!

(There have also been spiteful, hateful comments that angered and hurt me.) The information that was left out of our announcement is that I have undergone a massive shift in regard to my faith in Jesus. While not always pleasant, I know they are seeking to love me. Of course there have also been strong words of rebuke from religious people. This week I’ve received grace from Christians, atheists, evangelicals, exvangelicals, straight people, LGBTQ people, and everyone in-between. They are expressions of love though they are saddened or even strongly disapprove of the decision. I am learning that no group has the market cornered on grace. ![]() ![]() I wish you could see all the messages people sent me after the announcement of my divorce. ![]() Merry blissmas by jamie begley5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Nada de outras mulheres interferindo e a fazendo sentir insegura ou ciumenta. Nosso herói é apaixonado por Blis e eu achei a história deles sem muita atribulações. Ela atribui a atitude horrível dela por sentir ciúmes dos membros do clube que estavam arrumando mulheres fora do clube. Após ser resgatada pelos membros dos Last Riders ela busca agradar a todos membros com sexo para angariar amor e proteção. Criada em um ambiente horrível e estuprada a idade de 15 anos para servir de club whore em outro clube. Ela nos apresenta Bliss como uma pessoa sofredora e cheia de traumas. Bliss que é conhecida como "vagina ambulante" ficou espantada com o tamanho do pinto do Drake.Ī autora tentou angariar a simpatia do leitor para com a heroína. O fato mais importante do livro é que ficamos sabendo que os membros do clube tem pinto pequeno. I'll skip this book on my re-read list to wait for Gavin's third book, once it was torture enough. ![]() Claiming the Enemy (Porter Brothers Trilogy) Standing His Ground (Porter Brother's Trilogy)Ģ4.

Actually, Mecum's poems are closer in content and theme to another form of Japanese poetry called senryu marked for its dark humor, cynicism and lack of reference to nature, but Mecum sticks to the Western haiku format of 5-7-5. ![]() The succinct format of a Western haiku-a three-line poem with five syllables, then seven, then five-is a natural fit for a creature with a limited vocabulary. ![]() Proving that no art form is safe from the clumsy evil, Ryan Mecum shows us the tender side of the mindless murderers with Zombie Haiku. Robert Kirkman's two superpowered zombie runs at Marvel Comics have once again raised the zombie genre from the dead. ![]() |
