Here is a quote from a teacher on Amazon: Bastian manages to keep the reader engaged page after page, with clever puns and witty plays on words, which makes his story even more entertaining. Ultimately, Pete is asked to make a difference, and the question is whether he is up to the task?Īnyone who has a passion for words and wordplay will enjoy reading “Aboard the Timeline” In this wonderful children’s book, Bastian takes us on an adventure with his main character Pete, a young boy who at first seems to be lost (in many more ways than one!) but who ultimately finds his way together with the help of his companions, the lovely dinosaur Reginald and the ancient Greek thinker, Philosophocles. Here he befriends various living beings in different worlds, and along the way becomes aware of a constant conflict going on in these different lands. One day he becomes so bored, and time stands still and he escapes to Outermind. ![]() It's the story of a bored boy, Pete who doesn't find anything interesting at school. ![]()

![]() ![]() As Tate James herself says, if you’re not okay with that, it’s not the book for you. That means the female main character has multiple love interests and doesn’t have to choose between them. So before I get into the review, I will say that this book a is a reverse harem. Like I said, I need a whole thesis or dissertation to discuss this topic. Yet male authors who use sex and rape graphically (I’m look at you, GRRM) are never given the same critique. There are so many people who bash smut and romance novels and claim it can be damaging…but most of those books are written by women. ![]() I mentioned in my review of A Court of Silver Flames that I’ve been really struggling with the critique of sex in books lately. Sometimes we just need to read books that are fun and escapist, right? Well this book is certainly that. I never in a million years would have thought I’d pick up a book series like Madison Kate, but I gotta say, this was a heck of a ride. ![]() ![]() So, let’s go! Bird in Hand is about “Four people, two marriages, one lifelong friendship. ![]() WOW: Christina, thank you for joining us at WOW ! We are excited to hear about your latest novel, Bird in Hand, and about your writing process and life as an author. She spends summers with extended family in an even older house on Mount Desert Island in Maine.

Numerous young writers who would go on to great things, many of them women, were discovered or promoted very early in their career in the pages of S&S, including Emma Bull, Mercedes Lackey, Jennifer Roberson, Diana L. ![]() Unlike Carter and Offutt, who invited established authors to fill their pages, Bradley and her fellow editors opened their volumes up to submissions, and the results were pretty extraordinary. The series is critical to the history of the field for more than its longevity, however. Last year’s Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Sword and Sorceress, edited by Elisabeth Waters, was #31. The first one appeared from DAW Books in 1984, and there’s been a new volume every year since, with a single three-year gap between 2004-07. Lin Carter’s seminal Flashing Swords and Andy Offutt’s Swords Against Darkness are probably the most famous examples, but in terms of longevity and influence on the field I think they’re both eclipsed by Marion Zimmer Bradley’s Sword & Sorceress anthologies. ![]() Sword and Sorcery has a rich history of anthology series. ![]() ![]() ![]() As the years pass, Joan settles into her new life in California, teaching dance and watching her son, Harry, become a ballet prodigy himself. While Arslan's career takes off in New York, Joan's slowly declines, ending when she becomes pregnant and decides to marry her longtime admirer, a PhD student named Jacob. ![]() "Astonish Me" is the irresistible story of Joan, a ballerina whose life has been shaped by her relationship with the world-famous dancer Arslan Ruskov, whom she helps defect from the Soviet Union to the United States.

Despite her distrust of the bureau, Emma figures that consulting on this case in hopes of saving other girls is preferable to chafing in protective custody until the copycat is caught. ![]() Now, the department is investigating murders in Pittsburgh that bear a resemblance to Huxton’s M.O. Her insights from that experience proved invaluable to the FBI’s fledgling Behavioral Science department in their hunt for the Butcher. ![]() Three months after helping the FBI bring down the Berryville Butcher in None Shall Sleep (2020), college students Emma Lewis and Travis Bell reunite on a new case with a chilling connection to Emma’s past.Įmma was the sole survivor of serial killer Daniel Huxton, who died three years ago in 1979. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The starting point of her argumentation is a currently widespread caricature: on the one hand, reactionary, sexually conservative authoritarianism and, on the other hand, the progressive, feminist-promoting neoliberalism dominate.

The philosophers Cinzia Arruza and Nancy Fraser and the historian Tithi Bhattacharya have now written a "Manifesto of Feminism for the 99%" - in which they plead for a feminism that understands fundamentally anti-capitalist. ![]() ![]() ![]() Recalling how comfortable his son looked there, Gaiman thought he "could write something a lot like The Jungle Book and set it in a graveyard." When he sat down to write, however, Gaiman decided he was "not yet a good enough writer" and came to the same conclusion as he revisited it every few years. Gaiman first had the idea for the story in 1985, after seeing his then-two-year-old son Mike "pedaling his tricycle around a graveyard" near their home in East Grinstead, West Sussex. Time magazine included the novel in its list of the 100 Best Young-Adult Books of All Time. It was the first time in the award's 30-year history that one book made both the author and illustrator shortlists.

Scott reinvigorates stalled debates in philosophy and theology through a detailed reassessment of the problem of evil and the task of theodicy and through a careful analysis of the major models and motifs in theodicy. In Pathways in Theodicy, designed for students and scholars alike, Mark S. Pathways in Theodicy: An Introduction to the Problem of Evil by Mark S. Academic studies on theodicy, moreover, typically succumb to theological deficiency and abstraction, often devoid of any concrete connection to Christian life and practice. The problem of evil perennially vexes theology, but many theologians have abandoned the project of theodicy, or the theological explanation of evil, as either fruitless or hopeless. ![]() |
