After a night of action, the tired snowmen return to their homes. The bouncy, rhyming text describes the imagined rumpus in which the snowmen have races, do tricks on skates, and bump into one another like clowns.

She just won’t miss the trauma of walking into a room to find Catcher and Mallory…ahem…heavily engaged. It’s bittersweet as Merit will miss Mallory so much. As Sentinel, it just isn’t acceptable that Merit live so far from the House, especially if/when an emergency erupts. Merit is moving out of Mallory’s place and into Cadogan House. Merit is such a lovely, kickass person trying so very hard to fit into her new, unwanted lifestyle. Second in the Chicagoland Vampire urban fantasy series based in, where else, Chicago, and featuring Merit, the Sentinel of Cadogan House.

These works are considered some of the greatest love poetry of the Roman world and have had a significant influence on the Western literary tradition. The collection is a compilation of some of Ovid's most famous works, such as Amores, Heroides, and Ars Amatoria. " Ovid: The Love Poems" is a collection of poetry written by the Roman poet Ovid, in the first century AD. Ovid's love poems are considered to have made major contributions to the Latin love elegy genre. Dissimilarly to his predecessors, Ovid makes the genre his own by exaggerating the tropes common in erotic elegies until they become humorous. As such, the poems are written using the elegiac couplet. Originally, the poems had been published in five books, but Ovid later edited them down to the three books that remain today.įollowing in the footsteps of older poets such as Tibullus and Propertius, Ovid's love poems are written as erotic elegies. First published in 16 BC, the Amores was Ovid's first completed book of poetry. Ovid was an ancient Roman poet living from the 20th of March, 43 BC, to 17 or 18 CE.

This is a film that will wrap itself around you and you will likely never be able to shake some of the key elements you have seen in this amazing masterpiece. Hopkins dominates in spite of the fact he has approximately 17 minutes of time in the film. They play a complicated chess match of words which results in some of the greatest footage ever captured for the cinema. At the heart of "The Silence of the Lambs" are the confrontations between Hopkins and Foster. Director: Jonathan Demme Writers: Thomas Harris. Needless to say the film takes many twists and turns, creating a suspenseful thriller that has no equal. An FBI trainee enlists the help of an infamous Serial killer, to gain insight into the mind of another killer. Hopkins is a former doctor of Levine and holds the clues to capturing the unknown criminal. The FBI has had no luck with the case and agent Scott Glenn tries to throw a curve-ball to Hopkins by sending Foster. "The Silence of the Lambs" deals with a young FBI cadet (Oscar-winner Jodie Foster) who is sent to interview a captured madman (Oscar-winner Anthony Hopkins in one of the greatest performances ever on the screen) to find out about a serial killer (Ted Levine) who is stripping the skin from his female victims after they die. Brilliant Best Picture of 1991 that never gets old. The story is about her family, Mr and Mrs Tulliver, Maggie’s parents, and Tom, her brother, who was three years older than her. The story is set in Lincolnshire in the 1820s and 30s. If you prefer watching me explaining all these instead of reading, I put the link to my video on the same topic at the bottom of this post. And then we’ll look at one of the opening scenes where we meet some of the main characters and see how masterful George Eliot is at character building. So the book title actually gives a clue to the story: it’s about a family who are millers and they live on River Floss.Īs usual I’ll tell you what the story is about, without telling you the ending. When I first heard this title, I thought, what does that even mean? What is ‘the mill’ and what is ‘the floss’? Now I’ve read it, I can tell you that ‘The Mill’ is an actual mill where flour is made from grain and ‘the Floss’ is the name of the river. The Mill on the Floss is the second novel by George Eliot, published in 1860. Donaghe, author of the series "Common Threads in the Life," which includes Common Sons and The Blind Season DEGRANON is sci-fi that warrants the attention of any serious aficionado, gay or straight, fascinated by alien worlds that mirror our own world. Can they find their way home and help Taldra save their world? "A must read." -Joe Wright, reviewer for StoneWall Society () "A reminder of the danger of fanaticism." -Mark Kendrick, author of the gay time-travel romance Stealing Some Time "Duane Simolke's latest offering is a fascinating scifi excursion into a world as unique as his singular vision." -Ronald L. The brilliant scientist Taldra loves her twin gay sons and thinks of them as the hope for Valchondria's future, but one of them becomes entangled in the cult of Degranon, while the other becomes stranded on the other side of a doorway through time. However, a group called "the Maintainers" carefully monitors everyone's speech, actions, and weight the Maintainers also force so-called "colorsighted" people to hide their ability to see in color. On the planet Valchondria, no illness exists, gay marriage is legal, and everyone is a person of color. This revised version of Duane Simolke's science fiction adventure Degranon features more gay characters and a sharper focus on diversity themes. No matter how you’ve managed to cope with the abyss, walk through it, make friends with it and emerge somewhat intact, this book speaks for you. Haig’s way of coping was to experience it fully, which is okay if you have the luxury of the unconditional and available support of other people. There are many ways people learn to cope, including therapy and medication. Books like this one will help to remove it. He makes the point that depression is as real as cancer or flu or a broken arm, but the stigma attached to it remains. Matt Haig’s memoir of coming to terms with one of the most debilitating and frightening illnesses is beautifully written. If you’ve ever suffered from depression or anxiety attacks, or worse – both at the same time, you will be grateful that someone has managed to articulate the experience so eloquently.
