![]() ![]() Nujood Ali’s childhood came to an abrupt end in 2008 when her father arranged for her to be married to a man three times her age. But… many aren’t, and they can make you appreciate the life you have. A year ago, I would have said “non-fiction books are so boring.” Some of them are. And so, I ended up challenging myself to read more non-fiction books. Rather, I found myself shuddering at the events in the news without really trying to understand WHY these things occur. It is not that I have been turning a blind eye to the world around me. Initi al Thoughts: Now that I am a young adult, I have begun to feel a self-imposed responsibility to learn about how the world works. ![]() ![]() It was a simple life, but peaceful, without electricity or running water” I am Nujood, Age 10 and Divorced, Nujood Ali & Delphine Minoui We were living rather happily, to the rhythm of the sun. ![]()

Kerouac's parents, Leo and Gabrielle, were immigrants from Quebec, Canada Kerouac learned to speak French at home before he learned English at school. A thriving mill town in the mid-19th century, Lowell had become, by the time of Kerouac's birth, a down-and-out burg where unemployment and heavy drinking prevailed. Kerouac was born Jean-Louis Lebris de Kerouac on March 12, 1922, in Lowell, Massachusetts. Kerouac died on October 21, 1969, from an abdominal hemorrhage, at age 47. The book became an American classic that defined the Beat Generation. Jack Kerouac's writing career began in the 1940s but didn't meet with commercial success until 1957 when his book On the Road was published. ![]() ![]() I’m so glad I didn’t!īingo Love is creator-owned but published by Image Comics-what does that mean in terms of the practical tasks involved?īingo Love was self-published by me and my publishing company, Inclusive Press, via Kickstarter.

Her aim was to visit three places where she could examine one aspect of her own nature set against the backdrop of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. Eat, Pray, Love is the absorbing chronicle of that year. In order to give herself the time and space to find out who she really was and what she really wanted, she got rid of her belongings, quit her job, and undertook a yearlong journey around the world, all alone. To recover from all this, Gilbert took a radical step. She went through a divorce, a crushing depression, another failed love, and the eradication of everything she ever thought she was supposed to be. But instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. She had everything an educated, ambitious American woman was supposed to want: a husband, a house, a successful career. Around the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned 30, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis. ![]() ![]() ![]() The pace is taut, and the suspense is enhanced by the claustrophobic setting of small town Australia. Clifford’s writing is articulate and expressive, with vivid description. 'A vivid, twisting story that keeps you guessing to the end. Immersive with an intriguing, well-crafted mystery, I found When We Fall by Aoife Clifford to be an engrossing read. Black feathers were found with both bodies but what do they mean?Īs Alex fights for answers to honour the dead, and to discover why her mother fled town as a teenager, good people keep looking the other way, memories become unreliable and secrets threaten to reveal the past.Īlex discovers the truth never dies but it can kill. Maxine McFarlane was pulled from the ocean but with no water in her lungs. Bella Greggs was found dead at the bottom of a ravine but drowned in salt water. Aoife has won two premier short story prizes for crime fiction in Australia. The police claim it's an accidental death but there are whispers of murder and that it is not the first. Aoife Clifford is the author of the novel All These Perfect Strangers, published by Simon & Schuster. In the wild, coastal town of Merritt, Alex Tillerson and her mother make a shocking find on the beach. Blood lines run deep and in unexpected places. 'It isn't strangers you need to worry about here. ![]() ![]() ![]() Additionally, the book takes place over 4 years, but the characters don’t seem to mature or grow much. I’m not looking for an educational or school-approved book, but the secondary characters just felt surface level and how it handled difficult topics (depression, suicidal ideation, pregnancy, etc.) just seemed haphazard. It threw in a teenage pregnancy for fun and didn’t address the seriousness of that. ![]() Getting away from my want for a twist, this book felt too predictable. This didn’t mix well with Autumn’s character and it clearly isn’t a journal. felt very much like a journal (though immature choices for a teenage writer). The book started as if I was reading a journal, and the references to “The Mothers” and “The Office”, etc. I still think this is a fair rating though for the following reasons: I haven’t read a traditional YA book in a few years, so my harsh rating is part having the wrong expectations (I really wanted a good twist and mystery!) and part being out of touch with the YA style. For some reason, I swore this was a thriller or mystery, and I didn’t realize it was YA. This book has been sitting in my to-read pile for months (or years?), so when I picked it up less than 24 hours ago, I didn’t reread a summary or look at the Goodreads tags. ![]() What they do not know-the cause of the argument-is crucial.

Bestselling, award winning author Marsha Canham sweeps us into the turbulence and romance of Scotland’s quest for freedom in a saga of two born enemies whose lives and destinies are irrevocably bound to the fate of an empire. He had no choice but to carry his reluctant bride off to the Highlands, to a world of ancient blood feuds and a brewing rebellion a world where fiery passion and breathtaking courage would prove that even legendary warriors could lose their hearts. How was the spoiled and pampered Catherine Augustine Ashbrooke to know the handsome stranger with the brooding midnight eyes would see through her plot and make her the pawn in a dangerous game of his own?United by a reckless game of chance…Īlexander Cameron may have won the highborn English beauty in a duel, but not even the lure of long forgotten desires could keep him from his meeting with destiny. It was a boastful wager, a bold flirtation meant to win a proposal from the most eligible officer in His Majesty’s Royal Dragoons. They were torn between pride and passion… ![]() ![]() The approach is thus visual (prose as a window onto the world) as well as narrative (or “theatrical”), but it is also logical and cognitive: logical because we are asked to make explicit how our concepts as agents relate to one another cognitive in that we want to introduce these concepts in a way that can easily be processed by someone (our invisible reader) in whose mind they are new. In depicting this scene, we are also to imagine that its content (the argument we are making) contains concepts or ideas to which we assign roles as agents doing actions, or acting on a stage (this is the agent-action mode of thinking). ![]() So we start out with a framing device: We try to imagine ourselves as writers looking at a scene that we are depicting to a reader who cannot be assumed to have a full view of it. But that in turn means that in the act of writing we have to position ourselves in such a way as to be able to see what our readers see. ![]() We can do that if we can appreciate how readers read or want to read, or what they do with the words they read. This coursebook lays out an approach to expository and persuasive writing designed to make it easy for our readers to follow us, no matter how complex the ideas we are trying to put across. ![]() ![]() OL15685W Page-progression lr Page_number_confidence 95.15 Pages 394 Ppi 300 Related-external-id urn:isbn:1410420957 ![]() And no other suitor will satisfy her specially not the common, if uncommonly handsome, horse breeder, Devlin Jefferys.
