![]() ![]() has achieved what she set out to do: delivered a book that does justice to the important history of bisexuality, bringing the colourful world of bisexual scholarship "out of the shadows" * * Independent * * A tour of the science, culture and history of bisexuality that ranges from the vehemently political to the charmingly weird. Shaw is always an engaging guide to the landscape, on everything from the hunt for a bi gene to the sexual habits of giraffes and rams. This rigorous and fun book will challenge us to think deeper about who we are and how we love. From the hunt for a bi gene, to the relationship between bisexuality and consensual non-monogamy, to asylum seekers who need to prove their bisexuality in a court of law, there is more to explore than most have ever realised. In Bi: The Hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality, Shaw explores all that we know about the world's largest sexual minority. It is a personal journey that starts with her own openly bisexual identity, and celebrates the resilience and beautiful diversity of the bi community. After years of feeling the crushing dearth of information on bisexuality, psychological scientist and bestselling author Dr Julia Shaw dug deep and found a colourful and fascinating world that she is bringing out of the shadows. ![]() A WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2022: POLITICS Significant strides have been made in recent years in the movement for LGBTQ+ rights, visibility and empowerment, but the conversation is far from over. ![]() ![]() It has been the greatest honor and privilege of my sports watching life to witness this era of incredibly high level of men’s tennis. ![]() Who knows how many more years or tournaments I will have the pleasure of watching Rafa play, as he is 36 years-old and constantly battling injuries. From the moment I laid eyes on him in early 2005 as he was playing tennis on the clay courts of Europe, I was fascinated by his grit, passion, determination, fighting spirit, sportsmanship, humility, love of competition, and incredible perspective about tennis as just a game in life.Īs Wimbledon 2022 gets underway this week and Rafa is coming off yet another French Open championship (his 14th!), as well as his record 22nd total major championship, I figured this would be as good a time as ever to pay homage to my sporting idol. Rafa teaches me so much more than just about tennis. Vamos, Rafa! Many who know me well know how much I love the Spanish word “Vamos” (let’s go!), and how much I love and admire Rafael Nadal as an athlete and human being. Log # 2: “Vamos, Rafa!” Why Rafael Nadal is my sporting idol, and how we all can learn from him to make our lives better ![]() ![]() ![]() Everyone is shocked that someone so perfect would end her own life - until her cousins receive an ominous warning: One heiress down, four to go. Tragedy strikes the prominent family yet again on a beautiful morning in May when 34-year-old Poppy, the most remarkable Saybrook of them all, flings herself from the window of her office. But be careful what you wish for, because if you were a Saybrook, you’d be haunted by secrets and plagued by a dark streak of luck. Beauties, entrepreneurs, debutantes, and mavens, the Saybrooks are the epitome of high society. The only thing more flawless than a Saybrook’s solitaire is the family behind the diamond empire. From Sara Shepard, the #1 New York Times best-selling author of Pretty Little Liars, comes The Heiresses - a novel about the Saybrooks, a diamond family blessed with beauty and fortune yet plagued by a string of tragic and mysterious deaths. ![]() ![]() BUT it didn’t inspire the same level of devotion, masochism, and fandom obsession that Twilight did in its heyday. ![]() In fact, it was the first book I read directly after the election that shall not be mentioned, and I found it to be pure escapism glory. We read The Chemist for Boozy Book Club when it came out in 2016. We can all head to Hot Topic to get our TeamTWINS t-shirts and a few Daniel Does It Doggy badges because The Chemist is going to be gracing our television screens sometime in the near future. Stephenie Meyer’s The Chemist is Headed to TV So now we TwiFans in our MID TO LATE THIRTIES (omg remember when this started and we were just Twilight fans in our TWENTIES?) have something all new to obsess about, or studiously ignore, depending on who gets cast as the lead hot guy. In fact, if you do find yourself squarely in the wrong position of thinking you are somehow above Twilight, watch this, and feel shame.Īhem. ![]() “It” being our obsession with Edward and Bella and all things Twilight Saga. Twilight brought us all together back in 2009 on Letters to Twilight, and as much as we made fun of it, we wouldn’t be here without it. I don’t know where you think you are, but around here, we LOVE Stephenie Meyer. ![]() When we heard Stephenie Meyer was coming to TV, maybe – just maybe – we were hoping for that Twilight Saga reboot (TOO SOON). ![]() ![]() ![]() Willow Wilson’s writing gets significantly more awkward and unconvincing the more she tries to work within the confines of tech which I’m gonna go out on a limb and say is a field she knows little-to-nothing about. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! When the fuck did Ms Marvel get so pathetic?! Ah, da heck with it, I can’t fully mock this turd without spoilers so: SPOILERS! Why is the internet troll bad? Because its behaviour is reflective of the internet – yes, the whole internet! So what does the Big Bad do that’s so big and bad? He blackmails Kamala into uploading him onto SHIELD’s database or – duh duh duuuuuhh! – he’ll tell the whole school that her friend has a crush on her other friend and she’ll be SOOOO embarrassed! The cringe is strong with this one!Ī literal internet troll is the villain. You know what I look for when I pick up a superhero comic? To be talked down to like an idiot! ![]() ![]() I couldn’t believe how tedious and preachy it was. The first issue is literally Ms Marvel lecturing the reader on how and why they should vote. And it falls HARD - this is the lamest thing I’ve read in a long time! It inevitably happens to every long-running series and Volume 7: Damage Per Second is unfortunately where Ms Marvel’s quality falls down. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Occasionally, a simple book feels like home, and its characters become cherished friends. He and his wife, Joan, live in Indiana with their sons, Spencer and Sam. He is the bestselling author of Front Porch Tales, For Everything a Season, Home to Harmony, Just Shy of Harmony, Signs and Wonders and If Grace is True. Philip Gulley is a Quaker minister, writer, husband, and father. ![]() From Billy Bundle, the "World's Shortest Evangelist" to narrow-minded church elder Dale Hinshaw, the town of Harmony and its residents are worth visiting time and time again. Laugh and cry with Sam as he reflects on the quirks of human nature in such memorable vignettes as "The Aluminum Years," in which Sam tries to come up with the perfect gift to give his wife for their tenth anniversary, or "Shroud of Harmony," which features a church quilt that mysteriously displays the image of Jesus. In his warm, down-home style, Gulley chronicles the humorous and occasionally moving world of Sam Gardner, a Quaker pastor who has just moved back to his hometown. ![]() ![]() Readers everywhere have fallen in love with Philip Gulley's Home to Harmony, a charming novel of a small, friendly town whose endearing and eccentric residents are just like old friends. Philip Gulley, one of the speakers at this summers EEWC conference in Indianapolis, A Place at the Table, has not only written books about theology (such as. ![]() ![]() ![]() Responsible: As a seasoned Christian ethicist who identified as evangelical, seeing the hash that evangelicals were making of LGBTQ inclusion, and knowing that I had not seriously addressed the issue, I believed finally that I had a responsibility to make use of my platform to address the effort. The simple answer is that I felt compelled, responsible and free.Ĭompelled: The “LGBTQ issue” kept coming at me, in my family, school, church, the lecture circuit and public life, and I felt summoned finally to address it in a serious way. People often ask me what led me - a straight, married, Christian - to write when I did and how I did about LGBTQ inclusion. Long-time readers of Baptist News Global will remember that this book originated as a series of posts on this site beginning in the summer of 2014. This becomes the occasion for my column this week. I learned this week that sales of my 2014 book Changing Our Mind are just about to cross 25,000, apparently very rare in the book business. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They also had a quiz and I managed to answer one question correctly and they gave me the goodies bag with a journal and signed poster by the main actress in it. Now and then the light will fall on a particular point in time, illuminating it for a moment before the wind seals up the gap, and the world is in shadows again.” This is my favorite lines from the book “Memory is like patches of sunlight in an overcast valley, shifting with the movement of the clouds. The host said that I read it beautifully hehe. After that he asked me what is my favorite line? And asked me to read out loud. He said the opening line is his favorite and he recited it. I requested him to recite his favorite line from the book. I had a great time listening to him talking about the book and the film. I met the author of The Garden of Evening Mists, Tan Twan Eng today. Highly recommend for historical fiction book lovers! Click here to read my review.Īnyway, back to the story. I loved the subtle narrative by the author. The Garden of the Evening Mists is definitely going to make it into the list of my favorite books of 2020! The story was amazing and it was beautiful. I can’t remember what we were talking about but I love this photo! And he’s so sporting! ![]() ![]() The novel is narrated primarily from the perspectives of Greyson Tolliver, Jerico Soberanis, Scythe Micheal Faraday, Lorain Barchok, Munira Atrushi, Citra Terranova, Rowan Damisch, Scythe Rand, and occasionally the Thunderhead. The first novel established the world and the conflict of the narrative in a compelling manner and the second and third novels continue to escalate and develop the world. Scythes glean - or kill - people in order to maintain the population. People can only die by fire and in space or by Scythes. The Arc of the Scythe series takes place in a society where almost all death has been conquered.
