![]() These stories are rich, vibrant and deserving of comparison with Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street, a novel used frequently in high school literature classes for its sophisticated development of character, voice and theme in brief vignettes of childhood experiences. Ink and watercolor panels have a raw, childlike quality that might not be immediately appealing, but they grow on the reader as the stories are told. Barry depicts a number of significant characters that give these stories life, including her half-Philippine mother and Philippine grandmother who play major roles in enhancing the emotional intensity of nearly each recollection. Topics include first boyfriends, betrayed friendship, street games, hate and love, abuse and healing, death, and creativity. Many of the stories involve her adolescent experiences as the "cootie-girl" everyone picked on. Inspired by a 16th-century Zen monk's painting, Barry creates 17 vignettes, called "demons," in this autobiographical, but fictionalized, graphic novel. ![]() ![]() One hundred demons!

Waugh's detachment was such that he fictionalised his own mental breakdown which occurred in the early 1950s. He was a perceptive writer who used the experiences and the wide range of people whom he encountered in his works of fiction, generally to humorous effect. He served in the British armed forces throughout the Second World War, first in the Royal Marines and then in the Royal Horse Guards. He travelled extensively in the 1930s, often as a special newspaper correspondent he reported from Abyssinia at the time of the 1935 Italian invasion. As a young man, he acquired many fashionable and aristocratic friends and developed a taste for country house society. ![]() He worked briefly as a schoolmaster before he became a full-time writer. He is recognised as one of the great prose stylists of the English language in the 20th century.Waugh was the son of a publisher, educated at Lancing College and then at Hertford College, Oxford. ![]() His most famous works include the early satires Decline and Fall (1928) and A Handful of Dust (1934), the novel Brideshead Revisited (1945), and the Second World War trilogy Sword of Honour (1952–61). John Waugh ( 28 October 1903 – 10 April 1966) was an English writer of novels, biographies, and travel books, and he was also a prolific journalist and book reviewer. ![]() ![]() ![]() Although nothing romantic really happens until about two-thirds of the way through the book. Ostensibly this is a romance between two young men (18 or 19?). ![]() If you like any of the elements I mentioned earlier, though, it's worth the read. ![]() This book was definitely beautiful and had cute and meaningful moments, but I just feel like I've read it before. I think the struggle was realistic for Ari to not know what he wanted to do with his life, but that subplot almost seems unsolved by the end of this? Those moments were just frustrating for me, and I don't feel like we got to see enough of him growing out of that before the book ended. Also, Ari irritated me for most of the book, even though I know he was purposefully characterized as sensitive and sort of passive. It felt pretty formulaic and stereotypical, so I was never really shocked or emotional at anything that happened. Small town, summer, slow burn romance, family drama, a mistake that leads to more family drama and a breakup, then they make up. I saw so many glowing reviews for this that I basically harrassed my library into buying a copy, but I'm sad that my lasting impression of it is that is was just kinda average? There were certainly things I loved about it like the character development and the setting at a bakery and the gorgeous art style and how Hector would call Ari out when he was being a baby or manipulative, but I thought the rest of the plot was just kinda typical. ![]() ![]() ![]() Crazy werecats or not, an evening at Genesis is exactly what she needs. ![]() Her official website is located here –> Celia KyleĪny reviews that appear here on Shifter Haven have been linked back to that review post.

The disabled are often believed to be sickly and weak. The Clintons Sit Down with Kim Kardashian and Megan Thee Stallion in 'Gutsy' Trailer - WatchĬare rationing has been present in every major natural disaster from Katrina to Covid and it is a massive fear to the disabled community. Natalie Portman's 'Lady in the Lake' Stops Baltimore Production After Gun Violence Threats, Extortion Attempt Presenting disabled people in emergencies as nameless characters stuck in some kind of moral gray area tells us that if you’re disabled, “first do no harm” does not apply. “Five Days” is based on a book about doctors’ experiences, but those experiences hinge on questions surrounding euthanasia and the disabled. When the floodwaters receded in 2005, 45 dead bodies were discovered in the hospital’s basement, with allegations that at least two patients were euthanized. It took several weeks to get over watching all eight episodes of the Apple TV+ limited series, an adaptation of Sheri Fink’s nonfiction investigation “Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital.” The book and the TV show focus on the doctors and patients stranded at Memorial Medical Center during Hurricane Katrina. As a disabled person for whom going to the hospital is already a terrifying experience, “ Five Days at Memorial” triggered me. ![]() ![]() ![]() Package content is not flexible and cannot be modified.

Charles Grier Sellers (1927–2021), a leading historian of the Market Revolution, portrayed it as a highly negative development that marked the triumph of capitalism over democracy. The Market Revolution in 19th century United States is a historical model which argues that there was a drastic change of the economy that disoriented and coordinated all aspects of the market economy in line with both nations and the world.
