She forgets that I will slay her dragons because it wins me the heart of the only woman I want, the only woman who is mine. I know she’s been battling her own inner demons, the ones which tell her not to get too comfortable and to prepare for the worst. I can read her as easily as I can love her fiercely. BECKETT My wife is a lot of things, including transparent when it comes to her thoughts and emotions. Turns out, he knows exactly what I need, and it isn’t a girl’s night out. It’s a good thing he’s so sexy or I might find him infuriating. Not in the dress I’m wearing where other men can see me. I should have known my husband, my own personal caveman, wasn’t going to simply let me out of his sight. Still, how long will it last? Who will I be if the day comes when he no longer wants me? What happens to the rest of our family if that day arrives? Who will be responsible for everyone then? A girl’s night out might help some of the stresses and worries fall away. I know Beckett loves me he shows me every day. NIGHT OUT by Ember Davis AMELIA After four years of having everything that I’ve ever wanted, including the love of a man I never thought would look at me twice, I still have doubts sometimes.

If you enjoyed this episode, I encourage you to leave a review on whichever platform you are listening on, if applicable. In a 2021 talk at House of SpeakEasy's Seriously Entertaining program, Choi detailed her struggle with bulimia that lasted into adulthood. After college, Choi lived in New York until moving to Los Angeles circa 2014, a decision she described in Oh, Never Mind. She attended a large public high school in a suburb of San Antonio, then college at the University of Texas at Austin, where she majored in Textile and Apparel. Choi's parents owned and managed a Korean restaurant to support their family. She lived there until moving to Texas just before she turned 14. Mary Hyun Kyung Choi was born in Seoul, South Korea and immigrated to Hong Kong before her first birthday. She is the culture correspondent on Vice News Tonight on HBO and was previously a columnist at Wired and Allure magazines as well as a freelance writer.

We will be discussing this duology in all of its glory, which of course includes revealing the ending. Just a forewarning for those of you listening, this is NOT a spoiler-free zone. The book of the moment for today’s episode is Yolk by Mary H.K. The story follows Penny Lane as she tries not to make a permanent life for herself in Hogs Hollow. I thought that Penny was a great main character and I loved reading about her new life in Hogs Hollow. It was such a fast read for me (regardless of how long the book has been on my sidebar under Currently Reading) and I enjoyed it. That’s the word that I’d use to describe this book. A sweet novel about love, creativity, and accepting life’s unexpected turns. But just when it looks as though Penny is settling in, her parents ask her to make a choice that will turn everything upside down again. There are also bright spots in Hog’s Hollow-like Tally, an expert in Rock Paper Scissors, and Marcus, the boy who is always running on the beach. And then there’s Charity, the girl who plays mean pranks almost daily. Her father has stayed behind, and Mom isn’t talking about what the future holds for their family. When her mother moves them from the city to a small town to open up a cupcake bakery, Penny’s life isn’t what she expected. Main Characters: Penny Lane, Marcus Fish, Tally and Blake.Ī confection of a novel, combining big city sophistication with small town charm. As he’s tested morally and physically, will he be able to save himself and the others from captivity? And what about Aren, a fellow prisoner who frequently sees spinning symbols in his head? Vonsik delivers a story that’s always alive with possibilities, and it keeps readers guessing about how it will link back to Nikki’s future narrative. There’s a sliver of hope, though, because Rogaan is occasionally capable of feats of great strength and violence. It’s a quest that doesn’t seem likely to succeed-particularly after Rogaan and company become prisoners themselves. Rogaan and others are on their way to free their parents from their captors in the city of Farratum. Here, the narrative picks up where the series’ first installment left off. Just as all seems lost for Nikki and her fellow passengers, readers are transported back to ancient times-specifically, Rogaan and Aren’s era, which features ferocious beasts and complex civilizations. It’s not long before futuristic goons known as Tyr Soldiers board the Wind Runner, looking to seize its strange cargo: two unconscious, seemingly non-human beings from a time long ago, named Rogaan and Aren. It’s soon apparent, though, that such maneuvers are for naught. The craft has been traveling at high speeds in an attempt to evade United Nations ships. Graduate student Nikki Ricks is onboard a ship called the Wind Runner, somewhere in the Caribbean. Vonsik ( Paths of Anguish, 2014) offers the second book in a fantasy series in which ancient and modern times converge. Treaties with Indigenous groups were signed by the Crown, not the government, creating a lasting – though complex and sometimes confrontational – relationship between the two groups that persists to this day. Every province and territory has a wide array of streets, hospitals, parks, boulevards, rivers, mountains, and more named after Victoria and her family. The future King Edward VII spent two months touring Canada in 1860, and Victoria’s daughter served as the vice-regal consort from 1878 to 1883 when her husband, The Marquess of Lorne, was appointed Governor General of Canada.ĭespite never having been to Canada, Victoria continued to nurture the relationship between Canada and the Crown. While Victoria never visited Canada, she was invited to visit the then-Province of Canada in 1859, but instead sent her son. It was not until the Statute of Westminster came into effect in 1931 that Canada became an entirely independent nation, and thus the title of “Sovereign of Canada” came into existence. Although she technically was Queen of Canada, she did not hold that specific title- Canada was a dominion and operated under British foreign policy. Queen Victoria was sovereign in 1867 when Canadian Confederation took place. Statue of Queen Victoria, Victoria, Canada, photographed by Michal Klajban, The real agreements and disagreements between Wordsworth's and Coleridge's views are more interesting than those to which Coleridge's interpretation has called attention. The position he offers in opposition to the one he draws from the Preface closely resembles the one Wordsworth actually put forward there. Although intelligible meanings can be discovered for Wordsworth's remarks about "the real language of men" and the lack of "essential difference" between the languages of verse and prose, Coleridge's exegesis reduces them to absurdity. It distorts Wordsworth's account of his choice of subjects and his comments on poetic language. His discussion of the Preface repeatedly shifts the positions to which it objects and misleadingly distinguishes between what the Preface can legitimately be taken to mean and what it probably does mean. Although Coleridge's interpretation of Wordsworth's Preface has shaped subsequent understanding of Wordsworth's meaning, Coleridge was out not to clarify but to refute Wordsworth. Preface to Lyrical Ballads is an essay by the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth. The Norton Anthology provides an excellent commentary on WordsworthsPreface to Lyrical Ballads, on pages 140-41. And, I promise, I'm enjoying them as much as my 13-year-old. She was incredibly prolific, yet I managed to miss all of her middle grades and YA books, at least when I was the age that I would have sought her reads. All the photos I have found of her depict an exceptionally thin woman as well, and I wonder if she ever wasted time on meals, either. Seriously, this woman must have ignored every human being around her, as she cranked out novel after novel after novel. Zilpha Keatley Snyder was an American writer who had an almost inexhaustible writing career. Now I'm hoping Zilpha Keatley Snyder's ghost shows up, too. Probably.Īll I know is that I am in that same weird position again. Was this because Shirley Jackson's work leaned toward the supernatural? I don't know. No, more specifically: I wanted to hang out with her ghost. Let me clarify: I did not wish to raise her from the dead and sit with her, and learn from her (a natural feeling I have, with several beloved authors). When I discovered Shirley Jackson's work, a few years back, I had the unique experience of wanting to find her ghost somewhere and coax her back to my house for visits. It is a story of love and courage not to be forgotten. No more fitting monument to the Judsons can be erected than that of remembering their story. The sacrifices were great-both in leaving, and in going. It was no small thing in those days to consecrate one's life to missionary endeavor. If indeed, as one writer stated, that ‘the chief end of biography is to embalm virtue and perpetuate usefulness,’ then this present volume certainly merits the consideration of thoughtful Christians everywhere.Īnn Hasseltine, Sarah Boardman and Emily Chubbuck, each successively the wife of Adoniram Judson, the first American Baptist missionary to a distant foreign field, demonstrated in their lives the noblest of Christian virtue, and supreme dedication to the cause of Jesus Christ in spreading the gospel to what was then known as the Burman empire. This remarkable book, first published in 1851, and passing through over 20 editions in the years preceding the Civil War, relates the stirring true story of three courageous pioneer women missionaries. Keeping her viral load under control is easy, but keeping her diagnosis under wraps is not so simple. The last thing she wants is for word to get out that she’s HIV-positive, because last time.
