![]() ![]() ![]() We don’t talk about the fact that Ally never eats more than a quarter of what’s on her plate, even though she’s obsessed with cooking and watches the Food Network for hours on end. We don’t talk about the fact that we can never hang out at Elody’s house after five o’clock because her mother will be home, and drunk. ![]() They smoked pot, split a six-pack, and had sex, and he never knew she hadn’t done it before. Technically, her first was a guy she met at a party when she was visiting her stepbrother at NYU. For example, even though Lindsay says Patrick is her first and only, this isn’t technically true. Lindsay, Ally, Elody and I are as close as you can be, but there are still some things we never talk about. ![]() ![]() He, too, is caught in a continuous battle for survival with rival lords on both sides of the channel and with Philip, the king of France. ![]() Meanwhile, John, the youngest son of Henry Plantagenet and Eleanor of Aquitaine, through ruthless shrewdness comes to the throne of England and Norman France. Yet Wales was hopelessly divided in clan warfare. Their lives are intertwined by the daughter of John, Joanna, who becomes the wife of Llewelyn, finding herself torn between loves for father and husband, then husband and son.įrom youthful conflicts while in the house of an English lord through the rest of his life Llewelyn knew that the English were a threat. ![]() ![]() Summary: The first of the Welsh Princes Trilogy set in the early 13th century, this book explores the conflict between John, the King of England, and Llewelyn, who sought to unify a divided Wales against the English threat. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Surge is a medical procedure performed on every person when they reach the age of sixteen. The new society holds dearly to three values-Sustainability, Peace, and Equality-and to maintain these values the surviving humans incorporate a mandatory surgery called The Surge. These city-states were established after 98% of the human population was killed by a bacteria epidemic. The one that Tally lives in is located somewhere in what used to be southern California. ![]() In this version of reality, there is a new society of independently run city-states scattered helter-skelter across the seven continents. ![]() On first glance this doesn’t seem all that strange-what girl doesn’t anxiously await her sixteenth birthday? However, then Westerfeld shows us the details of the setting of the dystopia Tally lives in. Here we are introduced to the protagonist: Tally, a 15-year-old girl anxiously awaiting her sixteenth birthday. The first novel in The Uglies series shares this title and was originally published back in 2005. ![]() Perhaps most famous of all of his series, however, is also one of his oldest and, perhaps, the most fiercely dystopian: The Uglies series. Over the years, Scott Westerfeld has more than made a name for himself in the genre of Young Adult (YA) novels, most recently with the Leviathan trilogy, which is essentially a steampunk retelling of World War I-complete with piloting large walking machines and living airships! ![]() ![]() This beautiful edition is perfect for gift-giving.

And while we both share a voracious appetite to learn more (about everything, not just feminism), we sometimes have different ways of going about this. Her lived experience as a woman is very different from mine as a man. ![]() She inscribed it, “To our first book, for our Feminist Book Club.” So I guess I’m in a feminist book club now! It’s interesting, because Rebecca and I both call ourselves feminists, but we have very different experiences, of course. ![]() In this case, my best friend Rebecca (with whom I have started a podcast!) gave this to me as a going-away present when she moved to Montreal (I’m not sure she understands how going-away presents work?). Bad Feminist has been on my radar for years, but as with many such books, it took someone physically putting it in my hands for me to get around to it. ![]() ![]() ![]() The infamous sex scene censored from Kodansha’s earlier release is still missing for reasons impossible to explain and the paper still feels too pulpy to earn the designation “deluxe,” but no other edition has so well presented Shirow’s gorgeous artwork. ![]() ![]() If the hardcover binding feels cheap, more like a chipboard box than a lavish coffee table book, it is a vast improvement over the earlier paperback’s flimsy binding. No longer is it flopped, nor have the original sound effects-their presence an essential part of Shirow’s painstakingly rendered and gorgeous environments-been replaced with clumsy English approximations. Kodansha’s deluxe reissue of Masamune Shirow’s seminal Ghost in the Shell (scheduled, no doubt, to capitalize on the live-action film’s release) fixes many of the concerns fans had with earlier editions. ![]() ![]() A few years later, Hugh moved halfway across the country to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, where he eventually remarried and had a family. Lucy's devastated father Hugh could not handle raising Lucy on his own, so he sent her to live in Cavendish with Clara’s parents, Alexander and Lucy Woolner Macneill. Sadly, Lucy's mother Clara died of tuberculosis before Lucy turned two years old. Her debut novel, Anne of Green Gables, was an immediate success and allowed Montgomery to leave her career. Her parents were Hugh John Montgomery and Clara Woolner Macneill Montgomery. Montgomery (18741942) published her first short story at age fifteen. Lucy was an only child, born in Clifton (now New London), Prince Edward Island in 1874. The more we love the richer life is-even if it is only some little furry or feathery pet."

In 1941, she married Horace Benton Vinyard, and the couple settled in Gadsden, Etowah County, living on the Leota, their paddle-wheel steamboat on the Coosa River across from present-day Moragne Park. She attended Alabama College (now the University of Montevallo) and the University of Alabama, and then took a job as a reporter for the Birmingham News. ![]() Several stories take place on tenant farms built from decaying former slave quarters, and her urban settings suggest the larger cities in her native Alabama rather than the Northern or West Coast metropolises of other pulp writers.Ĭounselman was born November 19, 1911, in Birmingham, Jefferson County, to Nettie Yonque McCrorey and John Sanders Counselman, an engineering teacher. Gentler and less gruesome than that of her peers, her writing reflects her birth on a plantation, her time at the University of Alabama, and her experience as a reporter for the state’s largest newspaper. ![]() She remains best known for her 30 horror and fantasy short stories in the long-running American pulp fiction magazine Weird Tales.
