Matthew learns that the line between one's masculine and feminine sides is blurred. Both Matt and Vedie are complex characters with fully fleshed out personalities who somehow manage to find the key to unlocking the other. Vedie learns that an angelic face can front for a scarred soul. An emotionally charged and incredibly powerful book about survival and finding a new normal, Scarred deals with serious issues with sensitivity and empathy. Through a series of awkward encounters, the pair learns each other's secrets. Gradually, Vedie and Matt unite in friendship. However, on the night he meets lively Vedie Wilson, a local restaurant busboy who expresses his gender by wearing lipgloss and eyeliner along with his three-day beard, things change. Wearing twisted ropes of mutilated skin on his back, Matt struggles with a profound hindrance-the scars that deaden his soul. Living reclusively on a tropical island-with no company but his four cats-he merely avoids the lingering pain. Matthew North waited ten years to heal from the devastating wounds inflicted by the man who abducted and abused him as a child. There is no longer any validity to the question "right or wrong". I found myself telling my students the story of fake news and real truth and broken spirits that was the result of Wilde's duel with Bosie's father, and I thought of modern politics and our current mess. And I heard myself tell the complicated story of Wilde and his miscalculations and his failure to silence a bully by shooting back at him. I seemed to have completely forgotten the love story between Winston and Julia, and the way it was impossible not to kill each other in the process of getting entangled in the political dystopia of thoughtcrime and doublethink. Today I found myself comparing Wilde with Orwell, in a rather heated discussion with students who are reading 1984 as a class novel. We may be guilty of one thing, and punished for another. It strikes me as wise in the absurd way life plays a crooked game of cards with us. I annoyingly often quote the catch line "yet each man kills the things he loves", and it strikes me as true both in the deeper sense of family dysfunction and in the more shallow waters of breaking your favourite coffee mug by accident. I don't know how many times I have read the Ballad of Reading Gaol, but it is often enough for me to feel shame I don't know it by heart yet. Favourite poetry has a tendency to make sudden appearances in my head when I least expect it. It's also going to be hard to explain to Trenton's hottest cop, Joe Morelli, why she is spending late nights with Ranger, late nights with Lula and Randy Briggs-who are naked and afraid-and late nights keeping tabs on Grandma Mazur and her new fella. It's going to be hard for Stephanie to keep her hands off all that ice cream, and even harder for her to keep her hands off Ranger. Only this time he flees the scene, leaving behind a freezer truck loaded with Bogart ice cream and a dead body-frozen solid and covered in chocolate and chopped pecans.Īs fate would have it, Stephanie's mentor and occasional employer, Ranger, needs her to go undercover at the Bogart factory to find out who's putting their employees on ice and sabotaging the business. 3 Ratings 20 Want to read 1 Currently reading 11 Have read Overview View 13 Editions Details Reviews Lists Related Books Publish Date 1997 Publisher Wheeler Pub.Fortunately for bounty hunter Stephanie Plum, Larry is just stupid enough to attempt almost the exact same crime Three to get deadly by Janet Evanovich 3.67 Larry Virgil skipped out on his latest court date after he was arrested for hijacking an eighteen-wheeler full of premium bourbon.

While science and the humanities are fundamentally different, they are complementary. Science takes a larger view: the general principles of the human condition and why the species exists and where it fits in the universe. The humanities, writes Wilson, describe the human condition and address in detail all the ways that human beings relate to one another and to the environment. Our most vital possession is not science but the humanities. The meaning of human existence, writes the author, lies in “the epic of the species, begun in biological evolution and prehistory, passed into recorded history, and urgently now, day by day, faster and faster into the indefinite future.” Social intelligence, enhanced by natural selection for social action, made us what we are today. No destiny or purpose is assigned to us, and no afterlife awaits us. An exploration of what it means to be human by the noted sociobiologist and naturalist, twice the winner of the Pulitzer Prize.Īccording to Wilson ( A Window on Eternity: Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique, 2014, etc.), our species was created not by a supernatural intelligence but by chance and necessity out of millions of species in Earth’s biosphere.

But Kaikeyi is not willing to give up the freedom she’s gained or the voice she’s earned and be regulated to the sidelines-nor is she willing to let the women around her do the same if she can help it. When she’s married off as the third wife of another king, she learns that her penchant to use those bonds doesn’t always have the desired results. Using the bonds, she convinces her brother to train her as a warrior and teachers to let her study so that she doesn’t have to rely on the whims of men while her beloved maid Manthara teaches her to be a queen. Desperate for her mother, Kaikeyi unsuccessfully begs the gods for their help before scouring her mother’s library for a lesser god and discovering something else: a meditation ritual that lets her manipulate the bonds that tie her to others. And for me, on this day, it’s Vaishnavi Patel’s stunning epic debut, Kaikeyi. This exquisitely written feminist reimagining of the Ramayana from the so-called villain’s perspective was masterfully plotted and full of vivid details that immersed me within its pages and left me in utter awe that this is Patel’s first novel.Īs the king’s only daughter, Kaikeyi lives in the shadow of her twin and seven other brothers-until her father banishes her mother from court and Kaikeyi must step up to fill her shoes. Once in a while there comes a novel that astonishes you with its raw beauty and talent. The publisher’s description lays out the mystery’s stakes for Charlotte, Wrexford (what the heck is his first name?), the Weasels, their friends, and a lovely new addition to their found family:Ĭharlotte, now the Countess of Wrexford, would like nothing more than a summer of peace and quiet with her new husband and their unconventional family and friends. Though married contentment permeates Penrose’s latest, the honeymoon is definitely over when Wrexford and the Weasels pull a body from the Serpentine. Wrexford and Sloane #6 sees Lord Wrexford and his now Lady Charlotte once again chasing villainy. He’s been in love with his two best friends for years, but now one of them has someone. More than anything, Elias wants his friend back, but if that isn’t an option, maybe it’s time for him to look outside of hockey for someone to be there with him when hockey isn’t an option anymore. Elias would give anything for Nisha to be a permanent part of his life, but their once bedrock-strong bond has broken into a million pieces, and Elias doesn’t know why. Everything is changing around him, including his eleven-year friendship with Nikolai Sidorov. WittĪt nearly thirty-one years old, Pittsburgh Griffins captain Elias Karlsson’s hockey years are numbered. Witt Novel:Ībout Scoreless Game by Anna Zabo & L.A.
