Misrule is the second half of the story begun in Malice, and while I did have mixed feelings about that first book, I’ve since warmed up to what Walter was trying to do. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley and am voluntarily posting a review. But could Aurora love the villain Alyce has become? And the dream of the world they would have built together is nothing but ash.Īlyce vows to do anything to wake the woman she loves, even if it means turning into the monster Briar believes her to be.

Clarity & connection book5/22/2023 “How many times have you been unable to fully enjoy a special moment because you couldn’t stop thinking about what was missing?” But he does suggest, rightly so, I think, that we “throw away the idea that you need to pause your life until you are fully healed.” Life is motion. His vision of self is a very healthy one. I can’t truly have a healthy relationship at any level if I don't understand myself first. Not trauma as we often think of it, perhaps, but the trauma of “jealousy, anger, doubt, and low self-worth.” And the recovery “is not about managing your emotions it is about managing your reactions to your emotions” because “our reactions tell us what our mind has internalized from our past experiences.” And since each and every one of us has different experiences, everything starts with self. There is material on self-awareness, personal relationships, and society at large, but it all comes back to self. I have never encountered this author or his work before reading this book but was not surprised to learn, after finishing the book, that he began his thoughtful journey during a meditation course focused on the self. Two weeks notice book whitney g5/22/2023 That letter was rejected with his sexy, trademark smirk and an “I highly suggest you read the fine print of your contract.”Īnd now I've realized that unless I fake my death, poison him, or find a way to renegotiate my impossible contract, I’m stuck working under one of the cockiest and most ruthless bosses in New York. That’s the version of my two weeks’ notice I should’ve sent to my boss, because the more professional version - the one where I said I was "grateful for all the opportunities," and "honored by all the rewarding experiences" over the years? I wish his next executive assistant all the luck in the world (she'll need it) and if my boss should need me to do anything over the next two weeks, kindly tell him that he can do it goddamn self. This was a VERY EASY decision to make, as the past two years have been utterly miserable. I am writing this letter to formally announce my resignation from Parker International (& the arrogant, condescending CEO) effective two weeks from today. Nox Dormienda by Kelli Stanley5/22/2023 Scholars who spend their time in ancient Greece or Rome face centuries of research, interpretation and emotional investment in these cultures. Every historian interprets history subjectively. They have to convey a story, interpreting and transforming contradictory primary sources and taciturn material culture into a best guess. The historian is ultimately a combination of detective and story-teller, shifting through evidence, questioning the reliability of the evidence, and then compiling it into a narrative. And ancient history is an act of deliberate translation. “Roman Noir” to me means a way of telling historical stories in a way that will hopefully educate the reader and entertain her. “Roman noir” in French means a detective story. “Roman Noir” is a play on words and a description of the Arcturus series.

Monsters by barry windsor smith5/22/2023 To begin with, Bailey is duped into the back of a van by a Sgt McFarland, who then bitterly regrets what he has done. It’s worth noting, however, this book is not called Monster. Windsor-Smith leans upon the way in which the Americans took the Nazis’ best and brightest after WWII for the most part to forge their space programme – but here it’s all about eugenics and of course it makes a big old mess. You can sort of make out the outline of Hulk in the figure that haunts the cover of the book, young Bobby Bailey, drafted and sent, unbeknownst, to figure in a bit of military experimentation. Barry Windsor-Smith, famous for his work on Conan the Barbarian and Wolverine (particularly the ‘Weapon X’ storyline), is back with Monsters, a work some decades in the making that was originally pitched as a Hulk storyline.

City of Saviors by Rachel Howzell Hall5/22/2023 Lou must force the truth into the light and confront her own demons in order to save another soul before it s too late. But Lou is convinced that the murderer is sitting in one of those red velvet pews and that Bishop Tate may be protecting the wolf in the flock. But something wicked is lurking among the congregants of this church.Lou s partner, Detective Colin Taggert, thinks her focus on the congregation comes from her distrust of organized religion. LAPD Homicide Detective Elouise Lou Norton is called to investigate the death and learns that the only family Washington had was the 6,000-member congregation of Blessed Mission Ministries, led by Bishop Solomon Tate. But something in the way Washington died doesn t make sense. At first blush, his death seems unremarkable heatwave combined with food poisoning from a holiday barbecue. After a long Labor Day weekend, seventy-three-year-old Eugene Washington is found dead in his Leimert Park home. Daily Mail (UK)Los Angeles Homicide Detective Elouise Norton encounters her toughest case yet in City of Saviors, the fourth installment in the critically acclaimed mystery series from author Rachel Howzell Hall.

Night Watch by Terry Pratchett5/22/2023 What would run through the streets soon enough wouldn't be a revolution or a riot. And so the children of the revolution were faced with the age-old problem: it wasn't that you had the wrong kind of government, which was obvious, but that you had the wrong kind of people.Īs soon as you saw people as things to be measured, they didn't measure up. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness. They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed, in any case. Vimes had spent his life on the streets, and had met decent men and fools and people who'd steal a penny from a blind beggar and people who performed silent miracles or desperate crimes every day behind the grubby windows of little houses, but he'd never met The People. And some had been idiots as mad as Swing, with a view of the world just as rigid and unreal, who were on the side of what they called 'the people'. Some were young people with no money who objected to the fact that the world was run by old people who were rich. Some had been ordinary people who'd had enough. “There were plotters, there was no doubt about it. |
