Betty & Veronica by Jamie Lee Rotante5/29/2023 Early on, they make a pact to go to the same university in the fall, wherever that ends up being. That bond is something that is clearly going to be important over the course of the series, and not just in the obvious sense of the two girls anchoring themselves with one another. While this give and take may seem a little dull and even a bit slow, pacing-wise, it serves an important purpose as to establish the bond Betty and Veronica have with one another. It's clear that these adventures weren't one-sided, either Betty experienced things Veronica enjoyed while Veronica in turn participated in things of Betty's choosing as well. Betty & Veronica #1 starts with an ending - specifically of the summer between junior and senior year that readers soon learn included the titular characters renewing their friendship and forging a real bond in a season that started with a difficult breaking for Betty, who was secretly dating Reggie Mantle, and blossomed through a myriad of adventures.

The woman of colour anonymous5/29/2023 The modern edition of The Woman of Colour, edited by Lyndon J. This book delves even more deeply into the experiences of African and mixed-race women in England. Evangelical Christians like Hannah More, William Cowper (Austen’s beloved poet), Thomas Clarkson (who Austen said she “loved”), and others, wrote to help the British public see the humanity of Africans and the horrors of slavery. This book apparently contributed to the abolitionist literature of Austen’s England. And the editor challenges readers to look compassionately toward every “despised native of Africa.” The conclusion encourages readers to seek God in times of trouble. The book not only tells us about societal attitudes in Austen’s England it also offers a Christian message. She and her black maid face many prejudices and trials, but find their own place in the world. On her father’s death, she travels to England to marry her cousin a marriage her father had arranged for her. Olivia is a West Indian heiress, daughter of a black slave and a white plantation owner. Dominique, tells the story of a mixed-race heiress similar to Miss Lambe of Sanditon.

Own the wind kristen ashley5/29/2023 Authors like Lauren Dane introduced me to this type of hero (although to be fair her heroes are tattooed and pierced but are fundamentally normal guys) and then I ventured a bit further to Cherrie Lynn (Seth 'Ghost' Warren - be still my beating heart) and then to Kristen Ashley, one of the strongest authors in this particular corner of romance land, who has provided the reader with men who might speak like they come from the gutter, are ultra dominant when it comes to the relationships they have, covered in tattoos, pierced (anywhere and everywhere), who might be members of biker clubs, undercover cops or whatever. Apparently this comes under a new label of Extreme Romance within the romance genre. One of the changes I have noticed in my recent romance reading is the rise of the dominant, hard assed, tattooed hero.

Some World Series may have featured more great players-though two Cardinals and three Yankees from the ’64 teams eventually made it into the Hall of Fame-but not one has featured a more fascinating collection of vivid personalities, individualists who left lasting imprints on the game and who go right on being an important part of it today. Louis Cardinals, was considered a good one, but over the years the series and the season have taken on greater stature. The 1964 baseball season didn’t happen just so David Halberstam could come along and write about it, but it certainly seems that way, especially 30 years later.Īt the time, the 1964 baseball season, which culminated in a memorable seven-game series between the New York Yankees and St.
