At least with this one we understand what made Jack fall for Ella…she treated him like a normal person and wasn’t after him for his money. Even the ex-boyfriend was a good thing! Similar to a complaint I had with the first two books in this series, I think the story would have been vastly improved had we gotten even just a little bit of the hero’s POV. It just hit all the right notes for me.from a heroine I like, to our charming, southern, possessive yet caring alpha hero, and not to mention a cute baby. Full review:This story was simple and sexy. Review 2: My favorite in the series! We'll have to see if Joe's book can top this. more at Ella multiple times).I felt rather fractious reading this book. I've waited too long to write this review because I was trying to work out what I didn't like about it and now I've forgotten where I've gotten annoyed at her (despite getting annoyed. which annoyed me because after all that she's been through, she's got the right to be assertive, but why do it like that?! I don't know. When she tries to stand up for herself, I didn't think she went quite the right way about it. I realised during this book that I'm quite disinterested in reading about babies and their needs.I feel bad about Ella's past (no should have had that kind of childhood) and her family (both her mother and sister are just awful), but I felt like she was a bit of a doormat.

In it, Dworkin argues that in a male supremacist society, sex between men and women constitutes a central part of women’s subordination to men. Intercourse enraged as many readers as it inspired when it was first published in 1987. Now the book that she’s best known for-in which she provoked the argument that ultimately split apart the feminist movement-is being reissued for the young women and men of the twenty-first century. The power of her writing, the passion of her ideals, and the ferocity of her intellect have spurred the arguments and activism of two generations of feminists. Andrea Dworkin, once called “Feminism’s Malcolm X,” has been worshipped, reviled, criticized, and analyzed-but never ignored. I thought it was unusual that all the other cats in the story had clothes, except for Splat who only wore a hat. I like the illustrations of Splat the Cat, especially the wildly crooked tail that quivers at times when he is worried or excited however, sometimes the over done smiles are a little on the scary side. Splat does shows enough patience to get him through the night of uncertainty and ends up with two friends.īased on the Splat the Cat character created by Rob Scotton but this story was written by someone else. The story wasn't good or bad, but I could see a kid really liking Splat and his pet mouse Seymour (which goes everywhere that Splat goes). But his Mother invites Plank and Spike, which are not friends of Splat's. SUMMARY: Splat is eager for night to come because tonight he gets to camp outside. 5/29/2023 I Love You, Miss Huddleston, and Other Inappropriate Longings... by Philip GulleyRead NowThey looked quite happy, except that their hair was on fire. Sister Mary John had shown us a flannelgraph of the apostles receiving the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. In I Love You, Miss Huddleston we are transported to 1970's Danville, Indiana, the everyone-knows-your-business town where Gulley still lives today, to witness the uproarious story of Gulley's young life, including his infatuation with his comely sixth-grade teacher, his dalliance with sin eating meat on Friday and inappropriate activities with a mannequin named Ginger and his checkered start with organized religion. With his ear for the small town and his knack for finding the needle of humor in life's haystack, Philip Gulley might well be Indiana's answer to Missouri's Mark Twain. In the vein of Bill Bryson s The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, with a dash of some of the homegrown nostalgia of The Dangerous Book for Boys and A Prairie Home Companion, humorist Philip Gulley (Front Porch Tales, Home to Harmony) tells of his coming of age in small-town Indiana. The reader starts playing the old childhood game of Just one more chapter and Ill turn out the lights, only to look up and discover its after midnight.-Los Angeles Times Book Review Originally serialized in the San Francisco Chronicle, Armistead Maupins Tales of the City (1978), More Tales of the City (1980), and Further Tales of the City (1982) afforded a mainstream audience of millions its first exposure to straight and gay characters experiencing on equal terms the follies of urban life. These novels are as difficult to put down as a dish of pistachios. Book Synopsis Armistead Maupins uproarious and moving Tales of the City novels-the first three of which are collected in this omnibus volume-have earned a unique niche in American literature and are considered indelible documents of cultural change from the seventies through the first two decades of the new millennium.

The only drawback to reading The Practice Effect is that it isn’t the start of a series. And a fun little alien who goes along for the ride as he tries to figure out what on Earth is going on with the magic system and how to save himself, the girl, and the entire nation of good guys well, then, there isn’t much hope for you, is there? If you didn’t get that, it’s about a guy who goes through a gate to another world, finds a girl who hates him, and has a robot who misunderstands his orders and saves the day. Now, if after all that you need me to summarize the plot, this book may not be for you. How about traveling through gates between worlds? How about a robot that misunderstands its orders and ends up saving the day? How about a really cool alien creature that is onboard for the ride? Yup, I love all those too. Do you like “She hated me before she loved me” romances? I sometimes do, and there’s that too. Do you like magic system ‘whodunits’? I do, and I loved this book. Do you like hard sci-fi? I do, and I love it. It has one of the coolest ‘magic’ systems I have ever read. The Practice Effectis a totally cool, totally fun, and totally non-serious science fiction book with fantasy-like effects. I look forward to reading more of Levy's work. Getting everything from Angela's perspective as the youngest child was both poignant and funny at times. It felt as if everyone in Angela's family were connected by blood, but were separated by personal interests and goals.Įvery Light in the House Burnin' was enjoyable in the way that Levy showed the very realistic way the family interacted with each other and how they dealt with life events. Angela's family embraced the idea that if you didn't directly acknowledge anything, then things aren't really that bad. As if not talking about what is happening openly would make things less real. Most things are danced around and talked about in opaque ways. In Angela's family, most significant events and situations aren't faced head on. It really drove home how different and separate Angela must have felt in her small and mostly homogeneous community that she lived in. I felt how uncomfortable the exchange with Angela's friend Sonia and Sonia's mother made her feel. The scene was early in the story, but it really made an impact on me because of how subtly it was done. Levy exposes how sly and covert bigotry and racism can be via an interaction between Angela and her friend when she was young that really stood out for me. She also addresses social issues and how they affect the family in general. In Every Light in the House is Burnin', Levy addresses family dynamics in a low key but impactful way.
