![]() ![]() Not every child is so fortunate, especially nowadays.The librarians I met at the Missouri River Regional Library in Jefferson City while reporting today’s cover story are keenly aware of how difficult it can be for some families to access their stacks. (If you sense an animal theme, I’m guilty as charged.)The library visits sparked wonder and imagination – and were only made possible by a parent who could take us. It’s how I met the venerable Clifford, Arthur, and Berenstain Bears. But the real joy – and first taste of independence – came afterward when our mom would let us wander the aisles choosing new books to check out. What I do remember are regular trips to the public library in Merrillville, Indiana, with my mom and twin sister.We’d enter the book fortress and make a beeline for the children’s floor upstairs. ![]() I grew up in the era of Toys R Us, when Geoffrey the Giraffe beckoned kids from across the parking lot or through the television screen to a wonderland that seemed to offer every toy imaginable. Yet, other than a vague recollection of toy-filled aisles, I have no specific memory attached to that store. ![]() Airhead trilogy5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I have to admit that this series is the first (and only!) Meg Cabot books I have read and I have definitely become a fan of her style! She is funny, witty and has a knack for pinpointing how teenage girls are! I have really fallen for this series and I am really happy that I loved the third volume as much as the two previous ones! There are classic chick lit themes, but there is also so much more in this series that I really can't encourage you enough to read it! Em doesn't know how but she is determined to take Stark down. Runaway picks up at the end of Being Nikki where Em realise that the real Nikki is still very much alive (her brain was transplanted in another body) and that Brandon Stark, Nikki's on and off boyfriend has found out the conspiracy truth and is blackmailing Em (in Nikki's body) to come with him. ![]() The gravity of us by phil stamper5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I didn’t feel any deep connection growing between Cal and his love interest Leon. It was sparse in areas where we had a chance to jump into deep emotion of a character, and the romance was all repeated phrases of a more physical reaction. I also didn’t quite blend with Phil Stamper’s writing style. Plus he was always justifying himself in the narrative, and it comes off as, well, shallow. I admired his ethics and drive for perfection and a career, but there wasn’t enough vulnerability for me to truly empathise with him. I had difficulty in relating to him on an emotional level. Our protagonist, Cal, while rich with journalistic integrity, a passion for his home town Brooklyn, and commitment to best friend Deb, came across a little flat and obnoxious. ‘ The Gravity of Us’ was a read of mixed feelings for me. This book was set out to be a sure-fire hit for me – vlogging and journalism diversity rep with POC, sexual orientation, and mental illness general nerdiness around space travel and the race to colonise Mars all wrapped up in an angsty teen coming of age bow… The concept of ‘ The Gravity of Us’ had me from the first line of the blurb. ![]() Motoring with Mohammed by Eric Hansen5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() As he tells of the turbulent seas that stranded him on the island and of his efforts to retrieve his buried journals when he returned to Yemen ten years later, Hansen enthralls us with a portrait - uncannily sympathetic and wildly offbeat - of this forgotten corner of the Middle East. When goat smugglers offered him safe passage to Yemen, he buried seven years' worth of travel journals deep in the sand and took his place alongside the animals on a leaky boat bound for a country that he'd never planned to visit. In 1978 Eric Hansen found himself shipwrecked on a desert island in the Red Sea. ![]() ![]() ![]() The magazine, Health, which she had founded and edited for more than three years, was closed down.įrom 1973 to 1978 Saadawi worked at the High Institute of Literature and Science. In 1972, however, she lost her job in the Egyptian government as a result of political pressure. Her first novel Memoirs of a Woman Doctor was published in Cairo in 1958. During this time, she also studied at Columbia University in New York, where she received her Master of Public Health degree in 1966. For two years, she practiced as a medical doctor, both at the university and in her native Tahla.įrom 1963 until 1972, Saadawi worked as Director General for Public Health Education for the Egyptian government. Unusually, she and her brothers and sisters were educated together, and she graduated from the University of Cairo Medical School in 1955, specializing in psychiatry.

We start out by meeting Brilars Vanja Essre Two, a woman travelling from the main colony of her world to one of the other four colonies, the cold and outflung Amatka. But it was disorienting in the best possible way all expectations were suspended as I tried to get a handle on this new world that Tidbeck was creating. I didn't really understand what was going on at all, until halfway through. Seeing that it was a speculative novel and a good pick for my Women in Translation project, I checked it out, and started reading. I picked it up at work by chance, not knowing a thing about it. ![]() Amatka / Karin Tidbeck translated from the Swedish by Karin Tidbeck. ![]() Clarity of Lines by N.R.

I had to Google what the acronym was, and before I could reply, another message came through. I enjoyed Cooper’s banter, and seeing Tom to lighten up a bit was lovely. Tom’s loss is sad, yes, but it is so much a Hollywood-like scene that I didn’t feel it real.Ĭooper and Tom are sweet and hot together, their relationship is strong and develops wonderfully. And it is still better than losing the chance to tell them. Who loved me.įacing with their family members’ reaction is sometimes tough, sometimes annoying, but they manage to overcome it.

"Is that why you want it?" he asked in a dead voice. But don't hide behind wanting to protect me. This series is just amazing and this book is my favorite of the series! When you pick up one of the books in this series it looks like a normal book but when you open and read it it wraps around your heart and lives in your mind long after you finish it.
