![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I did two local children’s books and knew I’d never stop. Finally, I had a family and my inner goofball was set free! I started drawing elephants because they were my daughter’s favorite animal. As “wrong” as it felt, I continued to convince people that I was a serious grown up for six years. It felt like trying to play soccer in high heels. I got my master’s in painting and drawing and immediately started teaching at a university. She was my hero and I was determined to match her magnificence. My second grade teacher, Teacher Marty, was 40-years-old and had never had a cavity. I didn’t always “know” I wanted to be a children’s book author and illustrator. Seuss (or as I called him, “Der Seuss”) a few Golden Books that we got at the ACME if we behaved well, and some very strange and mesmerizing 3D books with hologram covers. When I was little we didn’t really have a collection of children’s books. ![]() ![]() In Sebastian’s world of intrigue and espionage, nothing is as it seems, yet the truth may hold the key to the future of the British monarchy, as well as to Sebastian’s own salvation. In the process, he accumulates a band of unlikely allies, including the enigmatic beauty Kat Boleyn, who broke Sebastian’s heart years ago. Now a fugitive running for his life, Sebastian calls upon his skill as an officer during the war to catch the killer and prove his own innocence. Cyr, Viscount Devlin, a brilliant young nobleman shattered by his experiences in the Napoleonic Wars. A dueling pistol discovered at the scene and the damning testimony of a witness both point to one man: Sebastian St. Then the body of a beautiful young woman is found savagely murdered on the altar steps of an ancient church near Westminster Abbey. It’s 1811, and the threat of revolution haunts the upper classes of King George III’s England. ![]() ![]() “The combined elements of historical fiction, romance, and mystery in this fog-enshrouded London puzzler will appeal to fans of Anne Perry.”- Booklist ![]() ![]() ![]() It answered questions I didn't even know I had, and the favourite plants chapter had factsheets that were so helpful I took a picture of a couple of them, even though most of the plants mentioned are not at all my thing (again, very focused on the Instagram, modern, minimalist aesthetic I'm more about florals, herbs and weird gothy plants.) I did learn a lot from reading this, certainly more than I would have thought from the length and picture-heavy nature of it, and the star rating (3.5) is almost entirely down to that. As someone with zero knowledge of plants (very much the audience for this book) this was supremely unhelpful and confusing. All the plant names are in Latin (which I like but would prefer more colloquial names too), and although almost every plant pictured is helpfully labelled nowhere does it tell you which name in the list goes with which plant. It is picture heavy, short, has a lot of chapters, a very specific #aesthetic, and no long blocks of text. It's neither quite what I was looking for or what I expected, though. ![]() It isn't bad, necessarily, and for some people the nods to an online community and photo tips are probably very helpful, but it's not so much my thing - my Instagram is shit and I have every intention of keeping it that way. This book is quite social media friendly, which I wasn't expecting because I had no idea of the authors beforehand. ![]() ![]() ![]() And every chapter contains at least two such spreads of all-out mayhem. It works astoundingly well because Young does what he does, ignores Secret Wars and instead turns his attention to an earlier company crossover, revisiting the idea of Avengers vs X-Men as a slapstick sitcom.Īs seen from the sample spread, Young’s illustration is fantastic. Here he’s given what might be the tricky task of integrating Marvel’s pint-sized comedy avatars of their heroes with the cosmic shenanigans of Secret Wars. There’s a manic energy to Young’s cartooning, and it’s a testament to how Marvel’s editorial vision has expanded over the years that he never lacks for work from the company. Plenty of other Marvel standbys are recast as the madness continues. Who’d have thought the makeover would work with Ghost Rider and family for instance? It does as they sit round the dinner table and little Ghost Rider passes on that he’s been told not to exact vengeance during social studies. Young also spotlights other Marvel characters in their cute miniaturised incarnations. Does it matter that Zachary and Zoe have no powers? No, as they’re just one more prize in a long-lasting competition. Skottie Young has them battling over food franchises, over games and in school, then having each group determined that the new kids who move into the neighbourhood join their team. ![]() Can the kids from the different streets play nicely together? Not a chance. In the town of Marville there’s an intersection of Avengers St and X-Men Way. ![]() ![]() ![]() A riveting chronicle of the often brutal conflicts that have rocked a giant nation, and of the extraordinary individuals and institutions who held it together, it established itself as a classic when it was first published in 2007. magisterial work Financial Times Guha has given democratic India the rich, well-paced history it deserves Washington Post An insightful, spirited and elegantly crafted account of India since 1947 Times Literary Supplement A magnificently told history of the world s largest democracy India Today Ramachandra Guha s India After Gandhi is a magisterial account of the pains, struggles, humiliations and glories of the world s largest and least likely democracy.

There is an easily-read Table of Contents. ![]() Suggested bibliographies for further reading are noted at the end of the book. This text is efficiently organized with the commentary following the text. This would be easy for a Classicist to do, but the casual Latin learner would have difficulties. ![]() It would be up to the instructor to break the readings up into segments. The 299 lines of the Latin text itself are fully provided with no breaks. Gildenhard offers the same high quality, academic approach to her comments, bibliographies, and interpretative essays. Translation, the goal of most Latin textbooks, is straightforward. Gildenhard's study questions are thought provoking and assist the student/reader in understanding the world of Aeneas and his time in Carthage. Gildenhard's study questions encourage readers in a class to discuss The Aeneid's relevancy in the modern world. The Latin is separate from the commentary, which makes updates easy to implement, should they ever be necessary. This book is extremely accurate in its Latin, clear and error-free.īook IV's themes are timeless and will always be relevant. The supporting study questions and bibliography offer the student/reader ways to set a context for Book IV in Virgil's epic as a whole. Gildenhard's choice of lines in Book IV are comprehensive. Reviewed by Rosina Catalan, Adjunct Professor, Butler University on 12/17/19 ![]() ![]() ![]() I try to tell myself so, even as tears slide down my cheeks. Garrett and Nora professed their undying love only a few hours after meeting (and getting married) Honestly, it's like all the essential steps in a relationship were skipped for the sake of rushing the story. Nothing really mentioned about Nora's scar or why she was kept hidden in a tower à la Rapunzel. No development around the situation between Garrett and the dad. Garrett was OTT and Nora was the sweet clueless young woman who'd never touched herself even though she'd read many erotic novels. I could talk a bit about the characters but I didn't really like them. ![]() I mean, isn't it reminiscent of Jessa Kane's heroes a little? This can't be serious □ The image of it LMAO I want to get down on my knees and slam my head against the marble.-Garrett ![]() What Garrett doesn't know is that this daughter has a hidden twin, Nora who will take her place instead. Garrett is a dealer of stolen art who has a grudge against a man, we don't really know why but he wants to make him feel miserable and the only way he concludes that he'll be able to do that is by marrying the beloved daughter of said man. I always have an issue with a love story that develops in the span of a day, where everything happens so quickly that it doesn't even make any sense. Man, the last few Cassie Mint novellas I've read have just been disappointing. ![]() ![]() ![]() It covers four equally remarkable women, some of whom were competing against each other for airtime, and the struggles that they faced trying to break into the industry. If you haven’t caught on by now, this is a nonfiction book split into four parts. ![]() The first women to break into the television world were magnificent. It seems only fitting to come back and write this review. Learning about these women’s stories was quite inspiring, and as I sit to write this, Betty White, one of the women discussed in this book, recently has died. It would teach us, especially minorities and women, to realize that the world wasn’t as diverse and great as it is now, even though we still have major problems. I think most Americans should pick up books like these. And so I checked this little book out and devoured it in less than two days. I come from a background of knowing about the movie systems and the cinema world in the 1900s, but I knew that television was an entirely different ball game. You can look a lot about a country and its history by delving into what was on television and how it was reacted to. I don’t watch much television, but as a historian person, I understand how important television is to American society. I randomly found this book in the new section of my library on a cold, rainy Saturday morning and was immediately intrigued. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ultimately, Goldsworthy realizes the full complexity of Caesar’s character and shows why his political and military leadership continues to resonate some two thousand years later. Tracing the extraordinary trajectory of the great Roman emperor’s life, Goldsworthy covers not only the great Roman emperor’s accomplishments as charismatic orator, conquering general, and powerful dictator but also lesser-known chapters during which he was high priest of an exotic cult, captive of pirates, seducer not only of Cleopatra but also of the wives of his two main political rivals, and rebel condemned by his own country. “The best introduction to Caesar and his world that is currently available.”-Karl Galinsky, Bookforum “An authoritative and exciting portrait not only of Caesar but of the complex society in which he lived.”-Steven Coates, New York Times Book Review ![]() |
