5/13/2023 0 Comments Family Obligations by Vivien Dean![]() ![]() ![]() Another glimpse of Another Secret by Stevie Woods.The Crimson Cat - Truth IS stranger than fiction b.Connecting through Correspondence: Family Obligati.With the opportunity to post today, they decided writing emails to each other was the best and most fitting way to introduce Mark and Randy to the world. Though collaborating isn't new to either Vivien or Rick, Family Obligations marks the first time they've worked together on the same side of the editorial page. Overwhelmed by grief and confusion, Tate’s unsure if he can bear hearing how the lives of these two men entwined over the years, but he reads on anyway, discovering more to value, more to respect, and most importantly, more to love about the man who raised him. The truth, about a secret love kept buried for decades, astonishes him. What he gets, instead, is almost a lifetime’s worth of letters that tell him so much more and cause him to view his father-and his family-in a whole new light. So when his father’s old college buddy, Randy, approaches him after the service, Tate expects to hear echoes of the same. Beloved doctor, devoted husband and father, a kind soul.these were the words shared by everyone who came to his funeral. Tate D’Angelo always believed he knew who his father was. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When a poet embarks on a book as myriad and borderless as this one, we are gifted the rare chance to stand at the threshold of a formidable human storm. The result is a courageous and kaleidoscopic, at times tender and vulnerable, exploration of motherhood and family-set against the backdrops of science, history, religion, myths, and mathematics. Here is a poet who has boldly refused to abide to the expectations of genre-but instead, pushes language and form as a means of asking the most urgent questions. This book is a library whittled down to a message in a bottle. And like me, want only one thing from Jessica Goodfellow – more. You see what I’m doing? I’m reading this book over and over, without ever completely taking it in. But then I read it a first second time and a first third. Reading this book a first time, my only regret was that I couldn’t read it a second first time. Jessica Goodfellow has a joyous intelligence and electric tongue. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Quentin skinner machiavelli![]() He is currently Barber Beaumont Professor of the Humanities at Queen Mary, University of London.

John Dickson Carr was less effective at it, but he had his moment with books like He Who Whispers and She Died a Lady – titles in which some element of the story pulls at the mind long after the book is set down. Christianna Brand has a certain knack for it – creating a cast of characters so richly painted that it becomes anguishing in the end when one of them is revealed to be a killer. It’s a rare thing for me to really be impacted by a mystery book. It’s been several months, and yet my thoughts continually drift back to the characters, the setting, and paint drying on a canvas. There was something that she captured between those pages that my mind couldn’t leave alone – the tragedy of it all. My last encounter with Agatha Christie, Five Little Pigs (Murder in Retrospect), really stuck with me. ![]() ![]() ![]() This allows the medication to distribute along the urethra. Roll the penis between your hands for at least 10 seconds while the penis is upright and stretched to its full length. If there's any medication left in the applicator, repeat the above steps so that all the medication is administered. ![]() Take a look at the applicator and make sure the pellets are no longer inside. Remove the applicator while keeping the penis upright. Rock the applicator from side to side to separate the medicated pellets from the applicator tip. Hold the applicator in this position for 5 seconds to make sure the pellet is released. ![]() Slowly insert the stem of Muse (alprostadil) into the urethra (tube that drains urine from your body) and gently push down on the applicator until it stops. While you're sitting or standing, gently stretch the penis outwards to its full length. Look at the applicator and make sure there is a medicated pellet at the end of the stem. Take the applicator out of the pouch without touching the stem or the tip. You'll use the pouch to throw away the medication once you're finished. ![]() Right before using Muse (alprostadil), urinate and gently shake the penis to get off any leftover urine. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Many exciting subplots ensue along the way, including a detour through the airport and a car on fire. The busy pages are crammed full of labelled illustrations of every mode of transport you could imagine (and loads of new vocabulary to learn, even for young vehicle experts!) These are accompanied by two main stories: one of a (pig) family on a journey to a picnic, and another of a (cat) police officer chasing a terrible (dog) driver. Who I can’t thank enough for his refreshing take on the genre.Ĭombining information, mockumentary, eye spy and story in equal measure, Cars and Trucks and Things that Go is the solution to boring-vehicle-book fatigue. Reading labelled engine parts does get a little dry after a while. But after the tenth or eleventh such book on its twentieth or thirtieth reading, I am done. I try to jazz up these reads with ad-libbed extra factoids and fun traffic noises. Which is great, because that’s what he’s into. With that comes a propensity towards a certain type of book: non-fiction, diagrammatical, straightforward, terminology-based. ![]() Like many other children, my son is OBSESSED with vehicles. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Go Down Together by Jeff Guinn![]() ![]() Their timing could not have been better-the Barrow Gang pulled its first heist in 1932 when most Americans, reeling from the Great Depression, were desperate for escapist entertainment. In Go Down Together: The True, Untold Story of Bonnie and Clyde, bestselling author Jeff Guinn combines exhaustive research with surprising, newly discovered material to tell the real tale of two kids from a filthy Dallas slum who fell in love and then willingly traded their lives for a brief interlude of excitement and, more important, fame. ![]() The real story is completely different-and far more fascinating. Forget everything you think you know about Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker-previous books and films, including the brilliant 1967 movie starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, have emphasized the supposed glamour of America's most notorious criminal couple, thus contributing to ongoing mythology. ![]() |
