![]() ![]() ![]() Overall this was a fantastic addition to the series. I enjoyed the mystery in Hidden Fire but felt it was wrapped up a little to quickly. ![]() This was just a fantastic love story that had some very intense moments. In Hidden Fire Jo Davis tackles some very serious issues with tenderness and Grace (both the character and the attribute). I really think that Julian was the most misunderstood character in the series and his story did not disappoint. Review: I have been looking forward to Julian’s story since Six-Pack’s book. NOTE: I am kind of doing a series review for these so that is why they are so short and to the point!

Smith writes their section in paragraph form as she alternates between their points of view. ![]() She begins with two sisters Tina and Anita as they gossip about being in love. Smith's title selection Life on Mars balances a plethora of emotions as she describes love, sexual violence, family dynamics, war, amongst other topics in a nine part epic. She writes, "I didn't want to believe/What we believe in those rooms: That we are blessed, letting go, Letting someone, anyone /Drag open the drapes and heave us/Back into our blinding, bright lives." Her words grow increasingly more poignant throughout this poem as Smith balances her grief with letting go of her emotions, ending with a crescendo of the dynamic between father and daughter. Writing in alternating couplet and paragraph form, Smith's words are so deep that I felt as though I was also mourning a loved one. The first, The Speed of Belief, pays homage to Smith's late father. Three poems stood out in this collection. In poetry that is a mix of free verse, prose, letters, and songs, Smith delivers powerful words in a four part opus. Upon hearing that Tracy K Smith had been named the United States poet laureate for the next year, I decided to read her 2012 Pulitzer winning collection Life on Mars. For 2017 I have set a goal for myself to read a minimum of twenty Pulitzer winners across all platforms. ![]() ![]() ![]() She busied herself raising a niece, doing charity work, and continuing to write and publish.

So it is with siblings Danny and Maeve Conroy, born seven years apart. This story, it seems to me is about the longings of people who care for each other, often at variance with each other, resulting in wounds of estrangement, with which we may spend a lifetime trying to come to terms. ![]() Summary: Two siblings, Maeve and Danny, seek to come to terms with past losses of parents, and their childhood home, a striking three-story home built by a Dutch couple. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once a wise men Jack Ma said:- “Never give up. ![]() In his novel, he explains very well, how six individual came out from that fear of failure and grabbed the chance to do things what they wanted to do. ![]() However, we also experience the grief and anguishment which some time tear us apart.

I saw that you were designing websites, stationary pins, all sorts of exciting things for novelists, and I was really, really excited when you made the leap to author and were going to add that to your resume. I first started following you on social media because of your work as a graphic designer. So I'm really, really excited today to talk to Hafsah Faizal about her YA debut, her inspirations, and just what it might mean to take your identity into your own hands. I could probably guarantee you that every single person I know is aware that my most anticipated 2019 title is We Hunt the Flame. And whenever I hear about something interesting or exciting, that list grows. This is Heather Scott, a YA editor here at Audible.

The book has a scholarly appearance and copious footnotes, but the author engages in a great deal of interpretative gymnastics with regard to Scripture, Christian tradition, and especially history. But I find the claim that one is merely being scientific (and if the science happens to agree with my personal agenda, what a coincidence!) to be disingenuous. ![]() I very much enjoy reading persuasive writing. Now, I have absolutely no problem with books with agendas. ![]() ![]() I say it is odd because the massive volume is clearly aimed at convincing the reader that Christianity is, if you really dig into history and read the Scriptures just right, supportive of homosexual love and the sex that is an expression of that love. The author of “Christianity, Homosexuality, and Social Tolerance” begins his book with the odd claim that he is not supporting any particular moral position with regard to homosexuality. ![]() |
