In the book’s first chapters, her clubfoot is repaired and she finds herself mending in a hospital. Ada’s journey, we understand, will be about learning to believe.Īda’s physical and external problems will be solved rather quickly. “You can know things all you like,” Ada says in the very beginning of the book, “but that doesn’t mean you believe them.” This is the book’s anchor. In some ways, the structure of “The War I Finally Won” could not be simpler. Leaving us to wonder: Now what? Now comes Ada’s aftermath, as she struggles not to let her trauma define her life. They will have watched her journey out of that dark place, into one of relative safety. Readers of Kimberly Brubaker Bradley’s last novel, “The War That Saved My Life,” will already be familiar with the terrible particulars of Ada Smith’s childhood: her abusive mother, her captivity in a single shabby room in London during World War II, her painful clubfoot and its associated shame. THE WAR I FINALLY WON By Kimberly Brubaker Bradley 385 pp. 5/20/2023 0 Comments Creepy carrots creepy underwearAnd then there are middle grade and YA novels for teens that you can hand them and send them off on their way, possibly with a nightlight. There are the classics - books that you might remember reading with your own friends around campfires and on Halloween nights - that are just as scary today as they were when you first red them. What is this book about From the celebrated team behind Creepy Carrots, Aaron Reynolds and Caldecott Honor winner Peter Brown, comes a hilarious (and just a little creepy) story of a brave rabbit and a very weird pair of underwear. Others are designed for kids who are just learning to read on their own, with can't-put-them-down plots that'll make them forget all about their kid tablets. 2 authors picked Creepy Pair of Underwear as one of their favorite books, and they share why you should read it. Some of them are not-so-scary, giving little ones some tiny tastes of thrills tempered with lots of silliness and humor. These scary books for kids can make a horror fan out of anyone. And while you don't really want your kids to shiver in their beds all night, there's something thrilling about giving them that chills-down-their spine experience, too. It's those kinds of thrills, the ones that you create for yourself, that really crawl under your skin, make you look over your shoulder every five seconds and have you triple-checking the locks before you go to bed. When it comes to being scared, there's something bookworms understand: The images you conjure up in your head when you're reading are much, much scarier than any scary movie you can watch on a screen. 5/20/2023 0 Comments Queering the tarot cassandra snowQueering the Tarot explores themes of sexuality, coming out, gender and gender-queering, sources of oppression and empowerment, and many other topics especially familiar to not-straight folks. In Queering the Tarot, Cassandra Snow deconstructs the meanings of the 78 cards explaining the ways in which each card might be interpreted against the norm. Tarot has the power to serve a greater population, with the right keys to unlock the tarot's deeper meanings. Humanity is diverse-culturally, spiritually, sexually. But at what point do archetypes become stereotypes? At the root of card meanings are archetypes that we accept without questioning. But what if that window only opened up on a world that was white, European, and heterosexual? The interpretations of the tarot that have been passed down through tradition presuppose a commonality and normalcy among humanity. Tarot archetypes provide the reader with a window into present circumstances and future potential. Tarot is best used as a tool for self-discovery, healing, growth, empowerment, and liberation. 5/20/2023 0 Comments Holly's Inbox by Holly DenhamI started this book on a Sunday morning and by evening I had finished it.

The novel was a deserved bestseller, in spite of its original title, based on a nursery rhyme containing a racist slur, but renamed for the 1945 film version as And Then There Were None (the novel’s title today) and in this 1965 version as Ten Little Indians, which has the virtue of referencing the important nursery rhyme, but suffers from containing another, different racial slur. Halfway through the drama, the survivors realise that their host is one of them: factions form, mutual suspicion replaces cooperation and the deaths continue until only two remain, confronting one another, baffled and betrayed. The Grand Old Lady of crime thrillers brings together ten people, eight guests and two servants, at a remote mansion, where they are murdered one by one, in penance for past crimes uncovered by their unknown host, the coyly code-named Mr U.N. The story is so elemental that it’s curious that it took until 1939 for Agatha Christie to arrive at the definitive form. If we are the apex predator, it’s by dint of cooperation, but as predators are we doomed to turn on each other? Then, the refinement of terror, that the Beast is not out there, furred and fanged, but present within the circle of light: one of us, wearing human skin, is the Beast. I t’s the world’s oldest horror story, told (I imagine) by Stone Age hunters, gathered around a fire, while predators circle them in the night. 5/19/2023 0 Comments Finding love at hedgehog hollowSeries: I love having a series to look forward to! This is book #2 and it’s fun to return to a setting you love and characters you know. Samantha and Josh work hard at figuring it all out and growing their new relationship.

Once Chisholm formally announced her candidacy on Jan. “She was beholden to no one.” - Robert Gottlieb Her bravery is doing what she said what she was going to do.” “People were upset that she dared run, when she wasn’t going to win. She didn’t ask for permission, she just did it,” said Shola Lynch, a filmmaker who made the 2005 documentary CHISHOLM ’72: Unbought & Unbossed. Her involvement in politics was her asserting herself. “That slogan was who she was, she lived it. But through it all, she was her own woman, unbought and unbossed, which is why the phrase became her 1972 presidential campaign slogan. She had to deal with disdain from black male political leaders. Chisholm encountered racism, misogyny, and death threats throughout her political career. Black women have been putting in work as candidates, and at the ballot box since the days of the civil rights movement, and one of the toughest was Shirley Anita Chisholm. That is the percentage of black women who voted for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton to be the first woman to become president of the United States. If you want to put it in numerical terms, try out this number: Ninety-four percent. |
