![]() ![]() ![]() I just will book more and longer sessions with Rod. ![]() I'm not going to look too deeply into my love for the possessiveness or the toxicity. So much of this book would not be an issue if you would. I am desperately begging you to go to fucking therapy. And I don't even mean all the bullshit with Levi. There was so much she could have just looked at the whole thing and just turned in, yet she didn't. She held her head high though so much adversity and bullshit. Astrid honestly did what few other FMCs I have seen could do. I feel like I write about strong FMCs frequently but this is a different case. I would have given up so much earlier on. There was so much back and forth and fucking trauma. Maybe I just need more frequent therapy sessions instead.Īstrid: Girl. I thought because I understand what it's like to have a father who has bipolar, I would be able to do it. I truly, honestly sat there half the book believing I could change Levi. WITH THAT SAID, this book reinforced this. I am completely and utterly aware I need therapy. ![]()

Babs Yagg, the owner of the local convenience store, has a policy of beheading shoplifters-and sometimes innocent shoppers as well. In Vassa's neighborhood, where she lives with her stepmother and bickering stepsisters, one might stumble onto magic, but stumbling out again could become an issue. A whole lot of Brooklyn is like that now-but not Vassa's working-class neighborhood. "A dark, thoroughly modern fairy tale crackling with wit and magical mayhem." -Leigh Bardugo, New York Times bestselling author of the Grisha Trilogy In the enchanted kingdom of Brooklyn, the fashionable people put on cute shoes, go to parties in warehouses, drink on rooftops at sunset, and tell themselves they've arrived. ![]() ![]() ![]() So that’s all I’ll say about the plot, and suggest that if you’re looking for urban fantasy with authentic-feeling characters who face real-life issues along with supernatural ones, then go read this book. And it doesn’t help that the first job she takes on to get her groove back is possibly even more challenging than the one she was faced with in book one.Īll actions have consequences, especially the magical ones, and it’s how characters deal with these situations that gives me a quiet thrill. But things haven’t gone well for her since she lost her house in the flood, and in way she’s lost her mojo almost literally. This means she does everything from making mojo hands through to house cleansings. Once again, in Red House, Sonya blends all the elements I love: Southern Gothic, music, magic and mysteries, all laced with memorable characters (like Daniel, the country music loving vampire ancestor) and fantastic dialogue. Red House is book two in Sonya’s Mojo Series, which starts with the aptly named Mojo Queen (so if you’re looking to get started, pick up that one first, you won’t regret it). So yes, I unashamedly give this book five stars because that’s how much I adore her writing, and I’ll stand by my rating. ![]() This is not a review per se, more like a bit of long-overdue praise for Sonya, who’s one of the authors I worked with when I was still editing for Lyrical Press. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It explores not only how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to a power that controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are still important to us. ![]() And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today.SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world’s foremost classicists.

The tragic emotion, in fact, is a face looking two ways, towards terror and towards pity, both of which are phases of it. Dedalus, in questioning the nature of aesthetics, asks himself: “Is a chair finely made tragic or comic? Is the portrait of Mona Lisa good if I desire to see it? If not, why not? … If a man hacking in fury at a block of wood, make there an image of a cow, is that image a work of art? If not, why not?” What the beautiful is is another question.” The dialectic continues with his friend Lynch who declares that he once, “wrote my name in pencil on the backside of the Venus of Praxiteles in the Museum”. The object of the artist is the creation of the beautiful. “Y ou are an artist, are you not, Mr Dedalus? said the dean, glancing up and blinking his pale eyes. ![]() Stephen Dedalus is James Joyce’s alter ego questioning the nature of artistic existence, and in conversation with a priest, the Dean of Studies, he is asked, as an artist, if he can define beauty. An act of graffiti on the backside of Praxiteles’ Knidian Aphrodite, is part of a dialogue on the subject of the philosophy of aestheticism, and the idea of beauty and value in art. ![]() ![]() 2) These Complete Collection hardcovers promise to do everything right. 1) My paperback copies, especially those first five Marvel ones, were getting fairly worn out. Yes and the Yearbooks were all excluded and collected into a separate volume, filled with repeated material from the main series, but god damn it, I’d already bought 15 books and they were fine! To come out and replace them immediately after they’d all been released was pretty crappy.Įventually though, I capitulated. And Special Missions was separated off into its own trades, but hey, it was a separate series anyway. Ok, so the line-art reproduction was pretty fuzzy in some volumes, but it wasn’t terrible. IDW’s Classic GI Joe trades, reprinting and carrying on from the five Marvel ones, were fine. ![]() I’m a sucker for big hardcover comics, but when IDW announced, right after releasing the 15 th and final volume of GI Joe Classic, that they would be re-releasing the entire series in hardcovers, I wasn’t interested. ![]() |
