And Christina blessedly gave us Ansel’s sweet tooth, so all baked goods are suspect. We’d read their GROCERY list if they let us because we have it on good authority that when Lo writes down “Eggplant” it’s not for a parmigiana she’s making later that night. We could write yet another post about how Christina Lauren‘s Wicked Sexy Liar is another home run for the duo and London and Luke are our favorite couple since Hanna and Will (Bekah’s opinion) and as Beth says, “London’s handling of Luke will make you wish we all had a chance to redeem a manwhore ex- boyfriend.”īut by now you know we’d tell you to read ANYTHING Christina Lauren put out- and we mean it. ![]() ![]() ![]() My advice if you are genuinely interested in the truth on this subject is to read the primary sources Bruce uses, but also to read the multitude of other sources on Aboriginal culture, bush food & land management practices many written by Aboriginal people living traditionally today. This book will be accepted by most of the public who normally just believe nice stories rather than true stories. It's good that Bruce draws attention to the fact that Aboriginal people managed the land (not farmed) in a sustainable manner, and cared for the environment as opposed to the capitalist system which destroys the environment. He says fish traps are aquaculture which is just silly. His mention of stone houses is exaggerated, because the location he discusses (lake Condah) while certainly containing Aboriginal structure, also has the remains of European structures according to some archaeologists (eg. Read these primary sources and you get a different picture to the one Bruce paints. He also quotes from Mitchell, Sturt, and Dawson very selectively, leaving out all the parts that contradict his argument. For example Bruce puts a photo of a Meriam Island House (Torres Strait) in his section on ‘Arnhem Land Dome Houses'. The book is persuasive rather than informative, and at times inaccurate. ![]() ![]() ![]() It reminds us that although we may be unloved and unwanted by our own parents, there will be other significant people in our lives that we can learn from, be encouraged and inspired and valued by, while at the same time acknowledging the deep wound and lifelong pain such a rejection of belonging seers us with. Her story is one of courage, encouragement, resilience and true gritty determination to succeed despite all odds. Perhaps others, who are also unwanted, may see them a hundred years from now, and be encouraged.” Adeline Yen Mah Adeline’s story of growing up as the unwanted daughter in a large and multilayered family touched my heart in so many ways. I know one day I shall die and vanish into the void, but hope to preserve my memories through my writing. I have always cherished this dream: of creating something unique and imperishable, so that the past should not fade away forever. “This book is dedicated to all unwanted children. ![]() ![]() ![]() The facade of freedom is a thinly veiled lie. ![]() But does a giant even notice the crushing of a single flower? One girl is easy enough to kill. Then a mere girl fulfilled an almost forgotten prophecy and hope briefly flowered in unlikely places. The ancient Meikan people, like Cho, have lived in terror of the Addin for generations, and those who dare to stand up to its power are shunned as outlaws by their own people. ![]() But a clandestine force controls the highest seats of power and will stop at nothing to stamp out resistance. It's the twenty-first century, right now, in America and everything looks just fine on the surface. Hope is a fragile thing and fear is constant companion. At least two of her closest friends are dead, the man she loves is at the epicenter of the danger and the one who carries the first hope in a thousand years is lost, almost certainly killed in a rain of bullets. Then Cho will be on her own in this secret world war that can never be won. If they're captured, their souls will be usurped by Addin control. ![]() The scouting team in Portland, Oregon has been ambushed on the 205 bridge. Company compound in Montana when disaster strikes.

As much as I loved Under Locke, it did hit a few speed bumps. Mariana Zapata has definitely grown in her writing. It was the perfect declaration of love for a woman like Iris. He knows those words mean something to her. It’s what she’s been made to feel like a waste of time. When Dex says, “You are not a waste of time to me” it’s because he knows it’s what Ris thinks she is. It does require the ability to read the subtext though. She writes about men who show their love in actions, and less in words. I can tell you, it’s probably the number one reason I love this authors books. When the gruff hero becomes tender, it feels so much more meaningful, I guess. I adore brooding, gruff, tattooed love interests, so I fell crazy in love with Dex right along with Ris. ![]() Each chapter filled my stomach with butterflies and bumblebees. For being one of her earlier books, you can still sense the amount of talent she has. Under Locke was another really excellent story. In completion, Zapata has become my newest favorite author. I immediately searched for the tie in book, Under Locke. However, in Kulti, the scene at the tattoo parlor felt too important. ![]() In Wall of Winnipeg and Me, the overlapping story wasn’t obvious. If I’d known I would have read them in publication order. So, it turns out Mariana Zapata overlaps her stories. ![]() ![]() I had become familiar with the subject matter, the social and cultural contexts, and most of the theoretical approaches to reading deeply.īut in the classroom I was imitating my wise and considerate professors and rarely trusting my own insights or speaking my own words.

I could communicate my appreciation for the texts and their creators, but knew I was teaching very little that was truly original about what my students and I were reading. ![]() Since childhood I have been an avid reader, and so a delight in the printed page, with a fondness for words and what could be done with them, were already deeply rooted long before I had begun to teach.īut, like many teachers at the beginning of their career, I was an outsider looking in. ![]() |
