![]() It's so easy to lose yourself in Kristina's world. However, the purple cover with the title written in Meth looks good too.Īs with the first book in this series, the world building is perfect. I do prefer the first cover as I loved the black and white simplicity of it. I love the way Hopkins continues to use a slang name for Meth.Īgain, I do like the cover to this book. Glass is one of the many slang names for the drug Meth. The title of this sequel to Crank is a great one. Will Kristina finally give up the monster for good this time to become a good mother? Little does she know it's not as easy as that. Kristina believes she can control the monster now that she has Hunter to take care of. Now Kristina has a baby to take care off. I enjoyed this book a lot, not as much as the first book in the series, but it was still good. ![]() (This review can also be found on my blog The (Mis)Adventures of a Twenty-Something Year Old Girl).Īfter reading Crank by Ellen Hopkins, I knew I had to read the sequel. ![]()

![]() This article seeks to address this glaring oversight by examining the history of the films’ production as well as the history of their reception by the public, press and official cultural establishment. From today’s perspective, however, they are equally forgotten, missing from both Theresienstadt film studies and studies of Holocaust films. ![]() ![]() ![]() The former received a good deal of international attention and praise, the latter was barely noticed. Reception of the films was also starkly different. However, within these similar coordinates, each chose a different approach to the material. Apart from using the same material, the films share similarities in style, as both directors worked in the tradition stemming from interwar avant-garde practices of cinematic montage and experimented with elements of animation. Both of these films employed drawings and paintings made by Jewish children imprisoned in Theresienstadt between 19. Butterflies Do Not Live Here and On Shoes, Braid and Dummy Production and Reception History of Two Czechoslovak Documentaries on the Holocaust Author Jana Rogoff Abstract In 19, two documentaries on the Holocaust were released in Czechoslovakia: Motýli tady nežijí / Butterflies Do Not Live Here by Miro Bernat and O botičkách, copánku a dudlíku / On Shoes, Braid and Dummy by Drahoslav Holub. ![]() ![]() ![]() The way I used to write them is kind of the way everyone does: I would write a couple of easy things on the top and at the bottom some of the big things I was hoping to get done. It helped me understand that there were changes I could make in my life that would really improve my productivity. Tell me about the most productive time in your life.Īctually, through the process of writing this book, I got much more productive. The book, in a nutshell, is about productivity. And so, yes, it does have some self-help to it, but I hope in the best way. Because at the core of productivity is this insight that you don't have to work harder, but you have to work smarter by essentially understanding how your brain works. I hope people will read this book and learn how to become more productive. ![]() Talking to researchers and neuroscientists, reporting in the field. I don't think there's anything wrong with trying to help folks-but at the end of the day, I think self-help has a very flimsy sound to it, and this book is based on a ton of reporting. The title sounds a bit like a self-help book. Let's start at the beginning-for the reader, anyway. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Because personally, I’m not a fan of Sci/Fi genre. Packing Sci/Fi, Fantasy and Romance as the genre, to be honest, I haven’t actually read this series. Her oldest series are Love, Heart & Soul, that published both on ebook and paperback around 2003.

She also have cats as her own pets and oh how it shows that she loves them so much. She loves cats, obviously, because almost on all of her books, the characters have cat as their pet.

Do you guys know her? Have you heard about her books before?

In this monumental book, Mark Kurlansky brings to teeming life the cultural and political history of that pivotal year, when television's influence on global events first became apparent, and spontaneous uprisings occurred simultaneously around the world. Yet it was also the year of the Martin Luther King, Jr., and Bobby Kennedy assassinations the riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago Prague Spring the antiwar movement and the Tet Offensive Black Power the generation gap avant-garde theater the upsurge of the women's movement and the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union. To some, 1968 was the year of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. ![]() ![]() Description NATIONAL BESTSELLER - "In this highly opinionated and highly readable history, Kurlansky makes a case for why 1968 has lasting relevance in the United States and around the world."-Dan Rather ![]() ![]() ![]() The success of The Outsiders enabled Hinton to attend the University of Tulsa where she earned a degree in education in 1970. Her mother's reaction to the novel was shock she said, "Susie, where did you pick up all of this?" Although she also had friends who were Socs, she definitely did not consider herself a part of that group. She has stated that her biggest compliment was that her greaser friends liked the book. Hinton was not a member of a gang when she wrote The Outsiders, but she was a friend to many greasers. ![]() The publisher - believing that the book would have more credibility if people assumed that a male had written it - advised her to use her initials, S. She began writing the first draft of the novel when she was 15, and writing and rewriting took a year and a half before she was happy with the final copy. The Outsiders was published in 1967, when Hinton was only 17 years old and attending Will Rogers High School. ![]() Susan Eloise Hinton was born in 1950 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You should visit Browse Happy and update your internet browser today!Īmong other public buildings in a certain town, which for many reasons it will be prudent to refrain from mentioning, and to which I will assign no fictitious name, there is one anciently common to most towns, great or small: to wit, a workhouse and in this workhouse was born on a day and date which I need not trouble myself to repeat, inasmuch as it can be of no possible consequence to the reader, in this stage of the business at all events the item of mortality whose name is prefixed to the head of this chapter.įor a long time after it was ushered into this world of sorrow and trouble, by the parish surgeon, it remained a matter of considerable doubt whether the child would survive to bear any name at all in which case it is somewhat more than probable that these memoirs would never have appeared or, if they had, that being comprised within a couple of pages, they would have possessed the inestimable merit of being the most concise and faithful specimen of biography, extant in the literature of any age or country.Īlthough I am not disposed to maintain that the being born in a workhouse, is in itself the most fortunate and enviable circumstance that can possibly befall a human being, I do mean to say that in this particular instance, it was the best thing for Oliver Twist that could by possibility have occurred.

Published last fall, I Hope We Choose Love reckons with a number of queer community practices and logics that have become commonplace over the past two decades. Building on these themes as they appear in her 2016 novel, Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars, and her 2017 poetry collection, A Place Called No Homeland, her latest book, I Hope We Choose Love: A Trans Girl’s Notes at the End of the World, tackles queer community dynamics head-on in a mix of poems and personal essays. “Both!” That's clear in Thom’s writing-her work chronicles the complicated inner workings of queer community, where drama and trauma are basically inescapable. ![]() ![]() ![]() Board Books (September 1st, 2010): $7.99 Kids Book Read Aloud: I Have To Go By Robert Munsch The Reading Train 6.14K subscribers Subscribe 9 2.Health & Daily Living - Toilet Training.He lives with his wife, Patricia, in Toronto. ![]() He has won numerous awards for design and illustration. ![]() Michael Martchenko has illustrated over 30 books for children and has exhibited his work throughout North America.
