![]() ![]() ![]() Kay has second thoughts and is struck dead by a delivery van anyhow or Cyril does and meets a similarly dim fate. In successive chapters, Shriver imagines a dozen ways this plan plays out, or doesn’t. So they agree that on Kay’s 80th birthday, in 2020, they’ll take fatal doses of Seconal. In 1991, Kay, an interior designer, and Cyril, a physician with Britain's National Health Service, are dispirited by the death of Kay’s father from dementia. Is it a good idea to kill yourself before you become elderly and burdensome? Shriver considers the possibilities.Īfter more than a decade of often sour, scolding fiction, Shriver has written her best novel since The Post-Birthday World (2007), in no small part because it revisits that book’s alternate-timeline conceit. ![]() ![]() ![]() While Carol ministered to the people's medical needs, Don concentrated on learning Sawi vocabulary and grammar, rendering a written language, translating the New Testament into Sawi, and teaching the Sawi how to read. In 1962, they, with their 7-month old son, moved in among head-hunting cannibals, a Stone Age people group isolated from the outside world, whose culture honored treachery as a prized virtue. Don and Carol accepted the challenge to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Sawi natives of Dutch New Guinea. Don Richardson, missionary and author of " Peace Child", "Lords of the Earth," "Eternity in Their Hearts," and "Secrets of the Koran," shared some of his unique cosmological insights, which serve as a backdrop to his newest book, a science fiction novel titled, "A Man from Another World."Ībout our speaker: Canadian born Don Richardson and his wife, Carol, a nurse, trained at the Prairie Bible Institute and the Summer Institute of Linguistics to become missionaries. ![]() ![]() ![]() But then again, life is stressful! “Social distancing.” It’s like the whole culture needs to take break. Feeling the stress flow - it’s like I’m forgetting to breathe or something. Read a book about the “dragon” of cyclical family anger. Tired of getting up before the sun - at least it’s shining on the desk. And because someone will inevitably ask, here’s the notebook and pens I use. I always write in the morning about whatever happened the day before, something I got from David Sedaris. You’ll notice in several of the entries I ask myself what was the “best thing” yesterday, a technique I learned from Nicholson Baker about cheerful retrospection. No edits, except a few for privacy reasons, but I did add a few links.Īt the time, I started each entry (usually 3-5 pages) with a blind contour drawing. I’m transcribing some of them here, for whatever reason. ![]() ![]() Not sure what possessed me, but yesterday I posted my diaries from the first week of our plague year - Wednesday, Mato Wednesday, Maon Instagram. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia", and J.R.R. ![]() ![]() Literally and figuratively, this story is the wellspring that gave rise to both C.S. The rich, interwoven tapestry of William Morris's four volume epic, "The Well at the World's End", is brought together in a handsome edition featuring the tale of Ralph of Upmeads. Give me the beautiful prose, the side-quests to nowhere, and wrap them in an illusion of magic, and I'm yours forever. I got my Kindle version through the Gutenberg Project on Google-and it has reminded me of what my true roots as a reader of fantasy are. This fairly unknown literary treasure is now available free, as a download for your Kindle or other reading device. I first read this book in college back in the dark ages, when Ballantine released it as a two-volume set. Lewis were students at Oxford when they became devotees of Morris's work, to name just two. First published in 1896, and now in the public domain, The Well at World's End by William Morris has inspired countless great fantasy authors. ![]() ![]() ![]() I treat writing like a job, spending a certain amount of time on marketing, revisions, and adding to my word count every day. I have a lot of guilt for taking time away from my family, because workshops, speaking engagements, book clubs, critique groups, and other writerly things usually happen in the evenings or weekends.īut again, trade off, and priorities. When I get desperate-especially during summer vacation, I institute a “unless there’s blood or a fire, don’t open my office door” policy. Sometimes, I run to the library for a few hours, or have a “write date” with other writer friends. I write at soccer practice, and at the pool. I wake up early to get words down before anyone wakes up. And big chunks of time are hard to come by, so I need to get creative. It takes big chunks of it, when you can block everything else out and delve deeply into your characters’ heads. Because I like all of those other things. ![]() I watch very little TV, and have to restrict my internet time.Īnd it’s hard. ![]() I don’t often wander around the mall, or the park, or go for a long hike or drive. ![]() I volunteer at my kids’ schools a very few times per year. We all have 24 hours in a day, and it’s a matter of prioritizing. Usually accompanied by a look of longing… as if I have something they don’t. Or say how lucky I am to have time to do what I want. And it’s not always asked in such a nice way-often people tell me they’d love to write, but they just don’t have time. Amelia Becket enjoys her life running her family plantation in Jamaica married by proxy to Lawrence Walter Drake, Earl of Lockwood, she’s not disappointed to be widowed before she can meet her husband. This is the question I get more than any other. Moore combines romance and danger on the high seas in her Regency debut. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was so detailed and described in depth that I could feel like I am in the scene. From USA to multiple countries in Europe. The author took me all over the world for this dangerous operation. With help of her family and friends who run the elite A1S, she will rescue her King. And Corinna won't sit idly while his man is in hands of the enemies. His enemies abduct his four year old long distance niece Yelena and they want him as trade. But it's not time for happily ever after yet. Corinna Roth, the fierce CEO of Valkyrie is his whole world now. And of course a delicious alpha hero and the best part, a beautiful alpha heroine.Īpollo Dimitriou thought he has left behind the heartless and evil empire of his grandfather and mother. I felt like a great action movie is playing in my mind. While reading Gamma by Jasinda Wilder, I felt my heart was in my throat till the last chapter. ![]() ![]() ![]() He did a good job, but was not as nuanced as I would have liked. As far as narration goes, this is my first audiobook by Josh Macrae, although I have heard of him before. The whole story is told from Shawn’s (the college student) POV and covers what happens when he and Rutledge come to their “gentleman’s agreement” of sorts. His scholarship issues depend on one (gay) professor not failing him. This story revolves around a (straight?) college student who is trying to balance taking care of his four year old sisters, working two jobs, and not losing his engineering scholarship. Just A Bit Twisted is one of my favorites in the Straight Guys series. ![]() I’ve never read anything quite like it and it’s addictive af. Hazard’s way of writing character’s obsessions with each other. ![]() I can’t say exactly what it is about this series that is like absolute crack to me, but I think it’s Ms. Audible is my usual MO, so I had to grab it here as well. I may have cheated a little-I’ve owned this audiobook via Apple for awhile now (and listened to it many times). Who doesn’t love the Professor/Student trope? ![]() ![]() This was one of the fluffiest, ‘aIndeed, this is a rollercoaster of powerful human feelings. Can Sloane unlock the secrets of this family and unwrap the heart hidden inside the beefcake?Ī most lovely read for the holiday season! It’s a chance to experience a true Americana Christmas–and further investigate the mystery that is Hank Springfield. When Sloane ends up stuck on campus over Christmas, Micah invites him to spend the holidays at their family farm in Amish country. He’s presumably straight, but then why does Sloane feel such crazy chemistry whenever Hank is around? And why does Hank hate Sloane so much? He acts dumb, but he’s a philosophy major. Hank looks like a tough guy-big muscles, tatts, and a beard-but his eyes are soft and sweet. Nothing in Sloane’s classes is as intriguing as Hank Springfield, Micah’s brother and fellow frat house member. ![]() He finds his way to Pennsylvania State University, longing for a rural experience, and ends up being lured into joining a frat by Micah Springfield, the hippest guy on campus. ![]() He grew up as the son of two psychiatrists, so he finds most people tediously easy to figure out. Genres & Themes: New Adult, M/M romance, Contemporary, Christmas, College, Friendship, Humour, Family ![]() ![]() ![]() George Cukor is historically known as Hollywood's "women's director," turning out hit after hit with films with inspired performances by female leads. The novel was adapted routinely for the stage and on the screen. Loos retired from screenwriting in 1945, after doctoring the script for "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn." In 1925, just prior to the advent of the talkies, Loos wrote her first novel, "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes," which would become one of the most famous books of the Jazz Age, and the work for which Loos would become best known. ![]() She was known as a writer who could save any adaptation, taking over the adaptation of the now-legendary pre-Code film "Red Headed Woman" after F. She was a celebrity on the level of Lillian Gish and Mary Pickford, unheard of at the time (or any other time) for screenwriters. Anita Loos was arguably the most famous of the many women screenwriters of the silent era and remaining so well after the change to talkies. INSCRIBED by Anita Loos to director George Cukor on the front endpaper some years later: "Ap/ So now after 25 years you want my autograph! / My love you've always had / Anita."
