![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Read a seasonal poem? It’s January in New York, the first in memory in which we’ve had no real snow to speak of - only a lot of what Frederick Seidel calls “a winter sky as total as repression.”ĭo your bedmate a favor when you’re reading at night? I recently picked up an old-school clip-on reading light (good if you want to keep phones out of the bedroom) and found myself going down a bit of a rabbit hole. ![]() Available from: Wherever fine books are sold. Andrews, Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales, “Music for Lovers Only,” 1954. This is a beautifully-told story of agency, of weirdness and, yes, of very deep loneliness. A wonderfully talented woman trapped in a perpetual girlhood, Dare styled her doll to look like herself and named her after her controlling mother. “The Lonely Doll,” however, has nothing on Jean Nathan’s almost preternaturally distressing biography of Wright. I have a lot of fond memories of doll-centric children’s books like Tasha Tudor’s “The Dolls’ Christmas” and Rumer Godden’s somewhat sinister dollhouse oeuvre, and lately my son has been loving “What Is Given From the Heart.” But you know what’s creepy? Dare Wright’s 1957 classic “The Lonely Doll.” Even I won’t pretend it’s not rife with sadomasochism and projection dolls are complex, too. ![]() ![]() ![]() Random incoherent thoughts after reading season 1: If this is middle grade, then I apologize because I thought it was an adult story, so my expectations might have been off a bit.Įdit: I'm ecstatic that this won on the Goodreads Choice Awards. ![]() Is that the audience? My 14 year old daughter is the one who recognized it, so she's actually the one I originally bought it for, but my curiosity got the better of me after I saw all the rave reviews. The gist is that Hades and Persephone lock eyes at a boujee party, and then everyone proceeds to act like awkward 12 years olds. Not a lot happens here, so I'm not really getting the level of OMGFLAIL that I see happening in the reviews.Īgain, this may be due to the fact that this has been miscategorized as something someone who enjoys regular comics would want to read. It's got chubby art, a nice color palette, and an easily digested storyline that updates and retells the Hades/Persephone story in a SQUEE kind of way. I don't personally get the hype, but I can see why this was successful as a webtoon.Īnd honestly, webtoons are so popular now that I think they deserve their own category. Then again, I assumed they (THEY?) just looked for something with a pastel cover and clapped their hands in joy. I don't understand how that happened because I read a lot of comics and graphic novels and I'd never even heard of this until the nomination. ![]() Winner of Goodreads Choice Awards for Comics and Graphic Novels ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One of my most favorite series ever actually. This is just a fun addition to a stellar series. But if you have at least read FLIGHT, then I say get at it. So yeah, things are good and I will take what I can get.ĭefinitely something you don't want to read first in the series if you have yet to read any of the books. It was a fabulous little read and we get Levi. But I still loved what Ivy gave us and I really cannot complain. I needed to see his side of things as things progressed. But he doesn't let that two letter word deter him. Now he is constantly getting told it from every angle. It had to have been a burn to his high flying ego. I have always wondered what it was like when cocky Levi's charming ways went unnoticed, well somewhat unnoticed, by Allie we they first met. ![]() ![]() ![]() Tolkiens great work of imaginative fiction has been labelled both a heroic romance and a classic fantasy fiction. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.J.R.R.

This is the story of how a Baggins had an adventure, and found himself doing and saying things altogether unexpected.Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit hole in bag End. ![]() ![]() ![]() Regardless of what happens next, I need to hold on to the bits and pieces of myself I’ve fought for, because I matter too. I know one thing is certain: I don’t want to lose myself to the commanding, overwhelming man that’s Creighton Karas. These last months were all about trying something new and finding myself, and maybe this is just the next step. Isn’t there some saying that life begins at the edge of your comfort zone? Well, guess what? I’m living, because I’m so far outside my comfort zone right now, I can’t even find the trail back. This is what Creighton does to me, and I’m not sure if I love it or hate it. As always, song lyrics began to float through my head, but like my emotions, they were a jumbled mess. I couldn’t get a lock on any one thing long enough to just feel it, let alone put it into words. Happy that he showed up? Or still hurt that he forgot about me? Or pissed that he came in and took over my life? Shock fought with anger while anger fought with excitement. Throughout this whole exchange, mixed emotions flooded my veins until I was sure they would cause me to burst from the intensity. ![]() Neither of us have spoken since we climbed on the opener bus and Creighton directed me to pack a bag. I find the light switch and wander into the room. Creighton unlocks the hotel suite and holds open the door for me. ![]() ![]() The artist’s use of color is especially striking: His battle scenes are ample, bloodily scarlet affairs, and Polyphemus’s cave is a stifling orange he depicts the underworld as a colorless, mirthless void, domestic spaces in warm tans, the all-encircling sea in a light Mediterranean blue and some of the far-away islands in almost tangibly growing greens. Lush watercolors move with fluid lines throughout this reimagining. ![]() Gods mingle with the mortals, and not heeding their warnings could lead to quick danger being mere men, Odysseus and his crew often make hasty errors in judgment and must face challenging consequences. Following Odysseus’s journey to return home to his beloved wife, Penelope, readers are transported into a world that easily combines the realistic and the fantastic. ![]() Hinds adds another magnificent adaptation to his oeuvre ( King Lear, 2009, etc.) with this stunning graphic retelling of Homer’s epic. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He argues that evolution has not yet caught up with modern sophistication. He evaluates the brain from an evolutionary perspective. It would be impossible to list every insight I underlined in this book. ![]() Other insights are entirely counterintuitive. Some of his advice is basic, like using index cards and always placing your car keys and glasses in the same place. Levitin seeks to help readers understand how to grapple with a world that is filled with far more information than people can process or remember. It can be somewhat overwhelming, yet it is filled with fascinating observations. It reads somewhat like a scientist's compilation of years of his experiments and studies. This book is filled with references to various studies in the field. This book falls into the same genre as Thinking Fast and Slow.I have read several books lately that examine how people think and solve problems. ![]() ![]() And when Anthony's lips touch hers, she's suddenly afraid she might not be able to resist the reprehensible rake herself.

The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgertons 2) 1814 promises to be another eventful season, but not, this author believes, for Anthony Bridgerton, London's most elusive bachelor, who has shown no indication that he plans to marry. This time the gossip columnists have it wrong. The inspiration for season two of BRIDGERTON, a series created by Shondaland for Netflix, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn: the story of Anthony Bridgerton in the second of her beloved Regency-set novels featuring the charming, powerful Bridgerton family. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then, she tried approaching a healing method based on the connection between the body and mind. LaPera herself went through this challenging state of affairs, and she reveals that although her life seemed pretty much on track, with a loving partner, no financial troubles, and a cozy home, she felt awful, both mentally and physically. An impaired relationship between these elements can alter our life quality and create this feeling of unwellness. However, it does depend on our mind-body-spirit connection. It doesn’t depend on our success, both in our personal or financial lives. So what is it? Many people go through these symptoms throughout their lives.
