Plus that team up with Flash to fight Zoom and Cheetah was awesome and loved that one as well and loving the revelations with Cassie and hints of big things to come down the line, it was quite awesome and just makes the story so much better. And then the thing with Athena vs Zeus and her fighting Briareos while blinded and just showing her tenacity and commitment to her Patron Goddess and that one was so good and finally when she goes to Tartarus to rescue Hermes its just solid writing, the whole fight sequence and story there and what Diana does is amazing! The highlights for me were her fight with Medusa the Gorgon and its so well done and its like one of my favorite stories and just shows Diana at her best and what she is ready to sacrifice to protect people. AHH loved this and it took me some time to read but what an epic one! It starts with Diana going through her struggles and faces a gauntlet of challenges like whatever is going on with the gods of Olympus and more!

I love how much her writing makes you feel warm, and comfortable, but most of all the simplicity of it. It’s been so long since I last read a Renee Watson book and omg, I forgot how much I loved her writing. Publication Date: April 28th, 2020 Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Series: Ryan Hart #1 Rating: Links: Amazon/ Book Depository/ Goodreads My Review: Even when things aren’t all she would wish for-her brother is infuriating, her parents don’t understand, when her recipes don’t turn out right, and when the unexpected occurs-she can find a way forward, with wit and plenty of sunshine. Because Ryan is all about trying to see the best. But Ryan is a girl who knows how to make sunshine out of setbacks. That means changes like selling their second car and moving into a new (old) house. Her dad finally has a new job, but money is tight. Synopsis: Ryan Hart loves to spend time with her friends, loves to invent recipies, and has a lot on her mind-school, self-image, and family. Orwell chose to live as the coal miners did - sleeping in foul lodgings, subsisting on a meager diet, struggling to feed a family on a dismal wage, and going down into the hellish, backbreaking mines. Once there, he went beyond the requests of the book club, to investigate the employed as well. In the 1930s, the Left Book Club, a socialist group in England, sent George Orwell to investigate the poverty and mass unemployment in the industrial north of England. Before he authored the dystopian 1984 and the allegorical Animal Farm, George Orwell was a journalist, reporting on England's working class - an investigation that led him to examine democratic socialism.

From a prizewinning, beloved young author, a provocative collection that explores the lives of colorful, intrepid women in history. However, European unity was challenged in other ways, for example, the spread of Protestantism, the introduction of the printing press in Europe to disseminate new knowledge, and the age of discovery and conquest starting from the late 15th-early 16th century: “The modern era announced itself when enterprising societies sought glory and wealth by exploring the oceans and whatever lay beyond them” (17). According to Kissinger, the lack of hierarchy between several rulers, such as the one that occurred in post-Roman Europe, was an anomaly.Įurope periodically did make attempts to unify, which included the 9th-century Carolingian Empire and the Holy Roman Empire that lasted from the Middle Ages until the early 1800s. Anderson Henry Kissinger, the scholar, statesman, and philosopher, writes a fascinating, insightful, and thought-provoking history of the concept of the state, statecraft, grand strategy, and international cooperation in the pursuit of order and stability among nations. Henry Kissinger offers in World Order a deep meditation on the roots of international harmony and global disorder. One key reason why Europe was pluralistic was the inability to impose a single ruler’s will onto their counterparts. First, Kissinger identifies the European system as pluralistic and, therefore, unique as compared to the rest of the world: “Europe thrived on fragmentation and embraced its own divisions” (11). And, of course, the iconic London Underground that links them all together.

The major difference, however, between James and Tóibín: Henry James never wrote about having anal sex with gobs of Vaseline.īut lest one think that The Empty Family is particularly prurient, Tóibín establishes himself early on as a writer pre-occupied foremost with memory. The Empty Family even opens with “Silence,” which features James as a character. Most of the stories in Tóibín’s newest collection, The Empty Family (Scribner), share a stylistic heritage with James: a careful, almost classical style that eschews linguistic pyrotechnics in favor of a moment-by-moment accounting of detail and emotion. It should come as no surprise that Colm Tóibín admires Henry James Tóibín, after all, wrote a novelization of James’ life, The Master.
