Rina spends her private days in a peaceful town in North Africa daydreaming about the next plot idea or laughing like an evil mastermind when those ideas come together. Her books are sprinkled with a touch of mystery, a healthy dose of angst, a pinch of violence, and lots of intense passion. Her heroes are anti-heroes and villains because she was always the weirdo who fell in love with the guys no one roots for. However, she likes to think she’s a romantic at heart in some way, so don’t kill her hopes just yet.

God of Malice: A Dark College Romance by Rina Kent From USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes a new STANDALONE dark romance about a villain and his new obsession. In my defense, I didn’t mean to get involved with a mafia prince.īut he barged through my defenses anyway. What started as an innocent mistake turned into actual hell. The observer/narrator is winding and given to tangents and, in early moments, might distract a bit too much from the strongly drawn characters. Backman’s latest novel focuses on how a shared event can change the course of multiple people’s lives even in times of deep and ongoing anxiousness. After the situation has ended with an absent bank robber and blood on the carpet, a father-and-son police pair work through maddening interviews with the witnesses: the ridiculous realtor an older couple who renovates and sells apartments in an effort to stay busy a bickering young couple expecting their first child a well-off woman interested only in the view from the balcony of a significant bridge in her life an elderly woman missing her husband as New Year’s Eve approaches and, absurdly, an actor dressed as a rabbit hired to disrupt the showing and drive down the apartment price. In an attempt to flee the police, the would-be perpetrator runs into a nearby apartment building and interrupts an open house, causing the would-be buyers to assume they're being held hostage. Unfortunately, the target turns out to be a cashless bank, which means that no robbery can take place. In a town in Sweden, a desperate parent turns to bank robbery to help pay the rent. Eight people become unlikely friends during a hostage situation created by an inept bank robber. For a broad overview of the complexities of the human brain this was a book that intrigued but did not frustrate however, as with many such things, the areas that caught my especial interest were dealt with in too few words. There are enough of those to give the book credibility but not so many that you get bogged down trying to remember terms. I found it a light-hearted, easy read that was heavy on the humour (to the extent I guffawed out loud despite being in the process of slogging away on treadmill or static cycle) and relatively light on complex technical matters. Since the kindle version was on offer at that point (I recall it was 99p but I could be wrong), I snapped it up. “ The Idiot Brain” and me ~ a review and some thoughtsĮveryone likes a bargain, don’t they?

When the most important friend in her life seems to have disappeared without a trace, Elena Greco, a now-elderly woman immersed in a house full of books, turns on her computer and starts writing the story of their friendship. The argument will build on the insights of Freudian and Lacanian psychoanalysis, especially the theory of the Freudian family romance.įaulkner, as critics like Richard P. It is explored how these paternal-filial power relations and conflicts work in both "layers" of the novel and how they influence each other. In this reading, the "story-weaving" of the narrators and the story woven (by them) swirl around the same conflict: the "battle" of fathers and sons. However, they also become the means of overwriting the paternal meta-narrative and endeavors of narrative self-fathering, self-begetting. This paper examines narration and storytelling in William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! Narration and storytelling are a paternal legacy and a family destiny as well, which bind the son to the father and the Grandfather. Put people in trying circumstances, especially people used to the soft life, and you’re likely to get ugly politics. Alas, writes Price, those founders didn’t do their homework when they chose the spot for their new settlement though the wide mouth of the James River allowed oceangoing vessels to dock right alongside the town-a helpful advantage, given all the boatloads of gold, silver, and other riches that the colonists were hoping to extract from the surrounding countryside-the site of Jamestown was really a malarial swamp ill-suited to agriculture, cattle, and humans. “English America,” he continues, “was a corporation before it was a country,” and the founders of the Jamestown colony were a mix of corporate types, including plenty of middle managers and martinets who, under the rubric of “gentlemen,” had no intention of working, not even to save their own skins. So writes Virginian and Washington-based journalist Price, giving his tale a thoroughly modern spin at the outset. A graceful narrative history of the troubled Jamestown colony, “an entrepreneurial effort organized and financed by. You can learn how to make micro mosaics in one of Janice's upcoming classes.

They are both so awe inspiring in their beliefs and values and they both stick to their words. I like that this was a ton of small stories, obstacles, and challenges as Matt faced not only a presidency but a life with Charlotte. I was hoping there would be a bit more of that what will happen tease but Charlotte fell pretty quickly back into his arms after he takes office. I wanted Matt to just let his worries drop and take Charlotte to be his First Lady. I loved that Evans gave us a start with Matt’s point of view and a bit more from him throughout CIC. President left us knowing that Matt Hamilton was going to run the country….but would Charlotte do it by his side? I was so glad that Katy Evans didn’t cliffhang the presidency but instead cliff hung the torturous will they/won’t they we read the whole book! CIC provides us with the conclusion we’ve all been waiting for! Commander in Chief is out and power has never been sexier! Mr. |
