Alicia Has a Bad Day by Lisa Clough5/12/2023 ![]() ![]() I have had a life full of rich and unique experiences, although it was around age eleven when I began to more keenly ex perience the sufferings of growing up, beginning with my parents' divorce and then being diagnosed with juvenile diabetes, and later when I left for college, my father's death. I have always felt very connected to Maine, especially to Monhegan Island which is about half-way up the coast and where my family has been going since the 1940's. ![]() We left the farm life behind and lived in a town where I could walk to school. My brother and I collected lots of bugs and butterflies. We had a pet monkey for a while, who we named Zephyr after the monkey in the Babar books. My father was a zoologist, with an interest in mammals, so we often had animals around. I recall my farm years as idyllic: I had an older brother, a best friend, goats, acres of woods to explore, and the ocean at the end of the road. Long BIO - personal: I was born in Rhode Island on a small farm and except for a two-year interlude in Norway between ages 2-4, and summers spent on Monhegan Island, Maine, I lived on the farm until I was ten. ![]() Book in the realm of hungry ghosts5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() This book explains how people are influenced by economic instability, food insecurity, and access to education, housing, and health care services.

Galileo's Daughter by Dava Sobel5/11/2023 ![]() Of Galileo's three illegitimate children, the eldest best mirrored his own brilliance, industry, and sensibility, and by virtue of these qualities became his confidante. ![]() ![]() For this belief, he was brought before the Holy Office of the Inquisition, accused of heresy, and forced to spend his last years under house arrest. Most sensationally, his telescopes allowed him to reveal a new reality in the heavens and to reinforce the astounding argument that the Earth moves around the Sun. Though he never left Italy, his inventions and discoveries were heralded around the world. The son of a musician, Galileo Gahlei (1564-1642) tried at first to enter a monastery before engaging the skills that made him the foremost scientist of his day. Inspired by a long fascination with Galileo, and by the remarkable surviving letters of Galileo's daughter, a cloistered nun, Dava Sobel has written a biography unlike any other of the man Albert Einstein called "the father of modern physics-indeed of modern science altogether." Galileo's Daughter also presents a stunning portrait of a person hitherto lost to history, described by her father as "a woman of exquisite mind, singular goodness, and most tenderly attached to me." ![]() Dramatically recolors the personality and accomplishment of a mythic figure whose seventeenth-century clash with Catholic doctrine continues to define the schism between science and religion. ![]() ![]() This doesn’t include oddities like Knives Out (a homage to Agatha), films disavowed by the Agatha Christie estate (Innocent Lies), or the weird stuff like Doctor Who meeting Agatha herself and discovering what really went on during her eleven-day disappearance in 1926. We’re watching Agatha Christie film adaptations. Not all of your audience appreciates mumbling.įor all you fans at home, Bill and I have begun a new project in case I haven’t mentioned it earlier. Still, subtitles are important! They make it clear what’s going on. ![]() I had trouble understanding what people were saying sometimes. I would give this adaptation that all-important last half-garotte if the BBC hadn’t skimped on subtitles. Every single character in Marple (in the episodes I’ve seen to date) looks like they just stepped out of the beauty parlor and their buildings and grounds were freshly manicured so as to be presentable to the Queen. It’s also messier and closer to real life than ITV’s highly polished Marple series, first aired in 2004. Otherwise, this adaptation follows the text to the point of using Agatha’s own dialog. ![]() They also changed the date to about 1950 or so, instead of 1942 when the novel was published. There are minor changes, the most important of which is probably the addition of the village idiot (Malcolm) who discovers the burned-out car with the body in it. ![]() Azarinth healer book 15/11/2023 ![]() Ilea is the same Ilea that we know, but she feels more grounded to me now, her actions and decisions make more sense, as do her emotions. I suppose there was a charm to it at the time, back when Royalroad wasn’t quite as competitive and massive as it is today, but for a real book release, I wanted it to be cleaned up big time. Of course, the core story elements and characters were present, but to me, a lot of it felt unfocused, the characterization shallow, the world still in its infancy, without any of the worldbuilding shining through (because I made a lot of shit up on the spot). I had tried to clean up and edit those early sections of Azarinth a few times in the past four years but it always felt overwhelming. I will go into more detail on the release post when the time comes, but it’s been enlightening to work with my editor Brook. But Book One of Azarinth Healer is almost ready, and will release on the 1st of December on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. Editing and rewriting those early bits were rough, I tell ya. As mentioned in the chapter note from today, this is not a chapter.īeen a long time in the works. ![]() The Perfect Gift by Jessa Kane5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() My feet are frozen in cement as my sisters approach me with a sense of urgency. One of them lets out a low whistle, shaking his hand like he’s been burned and the other nods enthusiastically. ![]() Then they trade a sly glance with each other.Ī sense of foreboding settles in my belly when they point me out to the men. On cue, both of my sisters turn and pin me with a look. Something a lot more important than breakfast. But these two seem to be discussing something important with my sisters. Tommy Bahama shirts, loafers, expensive sunglasses. They give off an air of importance, like a lot of the businessmen who come to our exclusive island on vacation. ![]() I set down the plates in front of two sunburned college kids, hoping I can get back to the kitchen before the song ends-Sundays should be for dancing!-but I’m brought up short when I see my sisters talking to some men at the hostess station. His blush sends me into the bustling dining room with a giggle. “Looks incredible, Marcel.” I pick up the plates, pirouette toward the door and blow him a kiss. It might just be me and my two older sisters now running the restaurant our parents opened as newlyweds, but I have to be grateful for what I’ve got. The vision weaves my happiness through with melancholy, but I force my smile to stay in place, even as I replace the mop against the wall. Important Reasons for Having Mirrors in Elevators ![]() The lost apothecary by sarah penner5/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Nella began dispensing poisons when she was betrayed by a lover, Frederick. In The Lost Apothecary, Nella runs a secret apothecary shop hidden behind a fake back wall in London where she sells poisons to women, spread by word of mouth, to be used against the men in their lives who have wronged them. She finds a clue (a vial) about the apothecary shop, tracks down its history, discovers Eliza's involvement, and ultimately decides to toss the vial back into the water to keep Eliza's secret. ![]() ![]() In present day, Caroline is a woman who has been betrayed by her husband. But a (possibly magic) tincture Eliza made ends up saving them both, and Nella realizes that dispensing these poisons is not the way to cure the pain of betrayal. When the authorities track her down, a young girl who had been helping her, Eliza, sacrifices herself to save Nella. The one paragraph version of this: In 1971 in London, Nella runs a secret apothecary shop, illegally dispensing poisons for women to kill men who have wronged them. ![]() ![]() ![]() These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. 2 She is characterized most frequently as a creature out of balance with her physical body, place and time, whose textual life consists in marking and reproaching that imbalance: an exemplar. Consequently, the character of Clarissa came to personify for many readers the vulnerable, the passive, the penetrable, the physically and socially powerless female figure. 1 This ‘best self’ is her Virgin self, the enclosed and empty space of moral virtue, penetrated in the course of the novel by sexuality defined as male. ![]() ‘Once more have I escaped - but, alas! I, my best self, have not escaped!’ she cries. After fleeing the scene of her rape, however, Clarissa speaks poignantly of a new self-perception, one she recognizes by naming it only after its loss. Clarissa, as she tells her own story, was once woven of whole cloth: her public and private selves were one before the cloth was rent. ![]() The twisted hate5/10/2023 ![]() Nothing good ever came from right-swiping on a guy holding a fish on a dating app. Twisted Hate By Ana Huang Introduction Excerpt.
