Travis' present-tense narration puts readers directly into his uneasy psyche he only gradually reveals to himself as well as readers the extent of the damage he has taken in the desert. An unlikely encounter with Harper, a girl he humiliated in middle school, gives him a sense that, maybe, a normal life might be something he can shoot for. At least when he was with his unit, they all understood how their shared hellish experience has affected them. The only thing that's normal is that his father, an ex–football player who bullied Travis mercilessly into playing the game, still seems to hate his guts. His friends don't understand why he can't just slide back into his stupid pre-Afghanistan life. His girlfriend is now sleeping with his little brother, a smug, self-interested bastard. Travis is trying hard to pretend everything is normal, but there's nothing normal about this little chunk of life at his former home in Florida. An affecting look at the experience of one teen soldier’s experience on leave from Afghanistan. The choir will perform in public concerts in December and April and will sing occasionally in the worship service at Grandview Church.

From London to New York to Ann Arbor, people are gathering in pubs and bars to communicate, connect, and learn from one another over the topic of religion, of all things. Co-leaders for this group are Kate Beiler Toner, Kirk Landis, and Amy Link. The focus is to build support and community with each other while discussing theological questions, current events, and encountering God through the “Pub Theology” style discussion created by pastor, writer, and pub theologian Bryan Berghoef.

After she published First Channel and Savage Empire, she decided to give a Star Trek novel, describing the story as one that "grew out of my fannish stories in the Night of the Twin Moons universe." She wrote a sequel which was published in February 1988. She decided afterwards to write a Star Trek novel, but shelved the idea at first as Pocket Books were only accepting submissions from published authors at the time. Lorrah decided to write a script for Star Trek: The Original Series after seeing the first episode, but found that she couldn't due to issues with Hollywood agents. But he knows criminal behavior when he sees it, and presses on. Kirk, trying to solve the case, is hampered by some Vulcans' belief that it would be illogical for murder to be happening on their home world, and that the deaths are therefore accidents. Kirk encounters Spock's mother, Amanda Grayson, and Spock's father, Sarek, and soon becomes heavily involved in Spock's personal life. McCoy travel to a hospital facility on Vulcan to acquire treatment for a badly wounded Enterprise crew member. And you didn't even know that's what you were good for. You were good for a booty call, ONATCC, and nothing more. The only thing I got out of you was this sentence: "I just had to hear that ass woo my ex-girlfriend with the promise of expensive cars." ass woo. It should have remained inside you, Chetan Bhagat, inside you where it is too dark to read. You make me realize that I actually don't wish people would quit their boring jobs and write the book inside of them, because sometimes the book inside of them is this shit. I don't understand how someone could read you if they were not being paid to do so. I hate that I sat on the freeway in traffic thinking "well, I guess it's for a certain sort of reader that doesn't read a book for its beautiful language or interesting characters, it's a pop parable designed for shallow, ignorant people, and shallow people deserve books too, especially when the parable has the message of staying true to yourself" but you are pandering prejudiced poorly written trash and the fact that you don't even know you're trash makes me even angrier. I hate people that like this book, which is apparently a large portion of India. I hated this book in a complete way, like where you go on a journey of hatred to be able to clearly and openly hate it. I'm really hungry which means I'm in a really bad mood and I will be until I eat something. Permitted Changes to Official Bankruptcy Forms.

My free prequel for my Cinderella retelling is now available. It is Wendy’s fourth book, and she’ll be with us on Thursday. It intrigues me because its not just a straight historical romance, but it also has some suspense in there. Her most recent title is Of Dukes and Deceptions. My guest this week will be Wendy Soliman. I recommend both these books–check them out! Upcoming Guest Augustin makes you care about these two very much. And the heroine is almost as much of a mental wreck as he is, thanks to the three years she recently spent in detention, under suspicion because her old research partner went rogue. This is a science fiction romance with an unusual hero–his memory is erased every two days. It is a very fast read, with a bewildering, time-twisty final battle that I’m itching to reread. This is a fun novella that combines steampunk, detective mystery and and a fun science fiction element that would make detective work infallible. The Mysterious Lady Law by Robert Appleton First, the book was about 200 pages too long, becoming agonizingly repetitious at times. In addition to the main characters, several other historical personages are presented, most notably Eleanor of Aquitaine, Louis VII of France and several religious figures of the era.While the subject is ripe with possibility, execution of this piece of historical fiction was sub-standard in my opinion. Instead, his far more popular nephew, Stephen, usurped the throne, leading to almost 20 years of non-stop war and bloodshed, before Maude’s eldest son, Henry, finally prevailed, becoming one of the most successful English kings in history as Henry II. He designated his only surviving legitimate daughter, Matilda (Maude) to succeed him. This is excellent history on a seldom touched upon subject, 12th century English history, more specifically, the succession crisis which ensued when Henry I, son of William the Conqueror died without a male heir. |
