6/10/2023 0 Comments Autumn ali smith review![]() It’s not conventional literature and a lot of people prefer the safety of a traditional narrative. I get that Lincoln was a divisive book and understand why some people may not have enjoyed it. ![]() That, in itself, wasn’t enough to incense me despite the fact that I thought George Saunders was absolutely deserving of the prize. An account I follow on Instagram didn’t exactly react well to the news that Lincoln in the Bardo had won the Man Booker Prize last year. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as much of a shock that the only reason I finally decided to read Autumn by Ali Smith was due to my need to prove someone wrong. What can I say? He was wrong and I wasn’t about to let him get away with it. It’s a source of much mirth for my family that I watched the film Dunkirk simply to prove my sister’s boyfriend wrong about it. ![]() As we already know from this blog, I’m a hugely petty person. ![]() ![]() ![]() Daniel practices in the area of 9/11 Victim. ^ "Hot Christian Songs - Year-End 2008 - Billboard". 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Daniel Hansen of Hansen & Rosasco, LLP has been named a New York Mass Torts Super Lawyer for 2021.^ "Francesca Battistelli Chart History (Hot Christian Songs)".^ "Francesca Battistelli Chart History (Christian Airplay)".^ "Francesca Battistelli - Christian AC History".^ "Nominations Announced for 40th GMA Dove Awards".^ "2008 Year End Charts - Top Christian CHR Songs". ![]() ^ "Jesus Freak Hideout: Francesca Battistelli, "My Paper Heart" Review".^ "iTunes (U.S.) - Music - Various Artists - WOW Hits 2009".^ "Top Christian Music Videos - I'm Letting Go".It was also nominated for the Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year at the 40th GMA Dove Awards.

Kemal starts collecting the objects belonging to Füsun, including her dresses, her driver’s license, and even 4213 cigarettes she smoked and disposed of. Pamuk’s novel follows the story of Kemal in the 1960s and 1970s, focusing on his obsessive love for a young woman called Füsun. What's the novel "The Museum of Innocence" is about? ![]() While the Nobel Laureate Orhan Pamuk was writing his novel “The Museum of Innocence” (Masumiyet Müzesi), he started collecting several objects as a source of inspiration for his creative process. Nestled in an old three-story wooden house in Çukurcuma dating to 1897, the Museum of Innocence might be the first museum ever dedicated to a novel. ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments Stamped by Jason Reynolds![]() ![]() The only people they seem to truly admire are Angela Davis and Malcolm X. ![]() The authors find fault with every historical figure possible from Fredrick Douglass, W.E.B Du bois, Abraham Lincoln, Harper Lee, and M.L.King. The book progresses in this same fashion for 255 pages. Their statement blames Western Europeans for creating this thing that all of humanity must battle, called Racism. ![]() Born in western Europe in the mid-1400s, racist ideas traveled to colonial America and have lived in the United States from its beginning." Clearly, the authors have not studied any history prior to the mid-1400s, as racist ideas and actions have existed in the minds of humans from the earliest points of civilization. On the first page of the introduction they write, "Racist and antiracist ideas have lived in human minds for nearly six hundred years. ![]() The authors have a very skewed and narcissistic view of human nature. Instead it seemed to be filled with inaccuracies, assumptions, and a worldview that blames whiteness for all of America's racial problems. I thought this book was going to provide thoughtful information about racism in America. ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments Queen of the cicadas![]() In the present day, its Belinda, a Mexican woman trying to find her path in life after some setbacks – personal and professional – but who has a connection with Milagros. In the 50’s, its Milagros, a young, Mexican woman who has moved to the States to work on a farm and earn money to send home to her family. What I liked: The novel is split into two time periods, the 50’s and present day, and in each, we’re given strong women characters to root for. I’ll be diving into her ‘Alien’ franchise novel soon, but this one was up first and I began with an anxiousness that I’d not felt in some time. ![]() So, it was, that I was excited to see this one, her Bram Stoker-nominated, Flame Tree Press novel arrive at the top of my list. In that same time, I’ve been trying to keep up on my reading with her written output, but she’s been super prolific and with my TBR getting to the point of giving my Kindle a migraine, I’ve fallen a bit behind. From reading and posting about my work, to sharing in celebratory news and blurbing some of my releases, I can’t thank her enough. I’m always humbled when people continuously show up for you, and V.’s always done that. ![]() Castro has been one of my biggest supporters. ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments The quiet american author![]() By the end of the novel, we learn that Pyle's American optimism has been his undoing but equally dangerous is Fowler's feigned journalistic distance - "I preferred the title of reporter. The novel is written from the point of view of a jaded British foreign correspondent and Saigon resident, Thomas Fowler and chronicles his relationship with American diplomat, Alden Pyle, who arrives in Vietnam full of the idealism of democracy, intent on teaching a foreign nation a better way of doing things that is, the American way. The novel - set in 1950s Vietnam, is carefully balanced by the weight of the authority of an author who worked as a correspondent in Vietnam between 1951-1954. It marks Graham Greene as one of the greatest journalists of his generation. The Quiet American is an important novel essentially, it is a love story but it is also a scathing critique of US meddling in the internal affairs of nations and people it knows nothing about. ![]() 6/9/2023 0 Comments Ellen tebbits![]() ![]()

Although it ends with ‘-ly’, ‘lovely’ is not an adverb, but an adjective, and so cannot modify an adjective like ‘bright’ in this way (as a point of comparison, substitute another adjective in place of ‘lovely’: we can write ‘wonderfully bright’, but not ‘warm bright’). Take that first line, ‘How clear, how lovely bright’. Housman is nevertheless a poet who subtly subverts our expectations regarding language, and how words are meant to behave. Indeed, although he is known for his clear and direct – even simple – way of writing about universal human emotions, A. ![]() |
