Cold comfort farm by stella gibbons5/21/2023 With her neat and organised mind, Flora sees very clearly that the Starkadders must be taken in hand and improved, for their own contentment and her own comfort. But even she is startled by the raw and elemental roughness she finds among her relatives at Cold Comfort Farm. From the shortlist, she selects the Starkadder family, descendants of her mother’s sister Ada, who live on a remote farm in Sussex. When her parents die, leaving her with a hundred pounds a year, she decides to impose herself on relatives rather than finding a job in London. Our heroine is Flora Poste, who has been expensively educated to ‘ possess every art and grace save that of earning her own living‘. As it is, I enjoyed it but found it a little too self-indulgent and showily clever. I’ve a feeling it might be one of those books that I’ve read ‘too late’: that I’d have gelled with it much more readily if I’d read it as a teenager or young adult. I didn’t love Cold Comfort Farm as much as I expected to.

Fool's Bluff by Lee Gregg5/21/2023 Snapping and growling, its hot breath blew his dark hair back while he stared directly into the monster’s mouth filled with multiple rows of serrated teeth. He pictured those teeth - now six inches long - hovering right in front of him, in a mouth that could easily bite off his entire head. They grew larger and more threatening every time he replayed his memory. The image of those huge, menacing teeth haunted him. Its oversized, sharp, white teeth glistened prominently through an angry snarl, like a bright movie billboard on a dark street, except this one wasn’t advertising Dumbo. It looked like an enormous rotting wolf or bear that had come back from the dead. With a deep growl that was barely audible, the thing had uncurled and a giant head had turned towards him. The pain in his toes had been immediate, but the shock of everything after that kick had been worse. It was bonier than he thought it would be, harder than what zombies were supposed to be like since they always made a squishy splat sound when wounded. Fingers were not supposed to look like that, especially if they were attached to his hand, his body.Ī throbbing ache in his foot took his mind back to what had just happened on the mountain. Acid crept up his throat after he inadvertently caught sight of exposed bone and he turned his head away quickly, squeezing his eyes shut. Wesley tried not to look at his hand as his doctor worked on it.

Hooked by joe s mcilhaney5/20/2023 and Freda McKissic Bush, M.D., “Hooked” is a journey of exploration into the mind, the most powerful sex organ of all.īased on studies and data from the Medical Institute for Sexual Health, a nonprofit medical, educational, and research organization, “Hooked” reveals groundbreaking evidence showing that when couples become sexually active, they release a series of brain chemicals that can result in powerful emotional bonding. But what happens when those relationships end? “Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting Our Children” uncovers new research on the impact that sex, even “safe” sex, can have on the adolescent brain. Pop culture tells young people that sex is an act of self-expression, a personal choice for physical pleasure that can be summed up in the ubiquitous phrase, “hooking up.” They are told that as long as they use protection and avoid STDs or out-of-wedlock pregnancies, there are no consequences.

The diddakoi summary5/20/2023 Still no af in almost 5 months so the donor is really the only hope aside from adoption for us. They are starting new RC classes in my area (that's Rosemary Conley, not Roman Catholic!) and I will be able to go three times a week! I must get fit then! Or should I just buy myself a massive hamster ball! I think until New Year's Day I won't be able to take it all seriously. I am not sure what to do during this wait, I am feeling frustrated that the wait takes so long! I must lose a stone a.s.a.p. This bloomin' pet is getting more exercise than me! The hamster has already been out in his ball, up his flume and all over his mega expensive mansion. If your hair cut makes you look like a tit, which I doubt, go to the hairdresser and ask them to make it look less tit-like! I do find if I get the things in life which I can control) under control I feel better! No it won?t make all the difference but it will make a little difference (or should that be a tit-tle difference!). Please just try and be nice to yourself and you hubby. Solved, it put the happiest possible ending to a story already bursting with all the things. Louise I can't say why but I have a really positive feeling for you. The Diddakoi is well plotted, and incredibly heartwarming. When her Great-Great-Gran died, Kizzy would have been wholly alone except. Love to you Lunatic glad things are well.

Northanger abbey book5/20/2023 In a review of McIntosh’s book, another scholar Insa Nolte, concluded that, “Yoruba women adapted their skills to support more widespread cultural notions as well as continuing their domestic roles” (Nolte). According to McIntosh in her book Yoruba Women, Work, and Social Change, she summarizes that independent roles were played by women on agriculture and trade until colonial ideas about “female professions” changed the career paths of women (McIntosh). I don’t think that they shifted negatively for women, I believe it gave women more opportunity to have careers that they wished. In Yoruba I found that as time has changed and more outside influences were in contact with the Yoruba, the more the gender roles in Yoruba shifted. I found that in over sixteen countries people believe that men have the first right to jobs, that they believe males are more fit for political positions, and that women should have children to be fulfilled (Weziak-Bialowolska). To get these answer, I began to read about the differences in gender normality’s across different countries.

The Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett5/20/2023 Humanity is trapped, clustered together into frightened huddled masses desperately clinging to life during the daylight hours and cowering in fear during the night. The world of Brett’s Demon Trilogy is one nightly besieged by vicious demons bent on eradicating life, human or animal, that stands in in their path. Sexuality and sexual politics are not aspects I immediately sit down to think about when reading an epic fantasy but when an author weaves those aspects so closely into the narrative of their world they deserve some discussion. Few books are as enjoyable and as simultaneously able to make me uncomfortable as Peter Brett’s The Warded Man and The Desert Spear. |
