I love it even more when these retellings give the story a spin that removes the previously problematic elements. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I love well-done retellings of fairy tales and old myths. Spoilers and a trigger warning for discussion of rape after the jump. She offers Persephone sanctuary in her land of the dead, so the young goddess may escape her Olympian destiny.īut Persephone finds more than freedom in the underworld. In truth, Hades is the goddess of the underworld, and no friend of Zeus. Zeus calls Hades “lord” of the dead as a joke. But when Persephone meets the enigmatic Hades, she experiences something new: choice. She lives on the green earth with her mother, Demeter, growing up beneath the ever-watchful eyes of the gods and goddesses on Mount Olympus. Persephone has everything a daughter of Zeus could want-except for freedom. The Dark Wife by Sarah Diemer takes the original tale of abduction and imprisonment and reimagines it as a consensual lesbian romance. The Greek story of Hades and Persephone, while oft-romanticized, is one of those stories that has many issues from a feminist perspective. Most of those books are still waiting to be read in my bedroom, but I did read one immediately because I was so taken with the premise. A while back, armed with a staggering number of Barnes and Noble gift cards, I took to Google looking for recommendations of good queer YA lit to buy.

The classic 1987 Hugo Award-winning sci-fi novel follows Lilith Iyapo, an African-American woman who has been kept asleep in an alien space ship along with several other survivors for 250 years after the earth destroyed in a nuclear war.

Based on a careful analysis of more than 500 of these previously unpublished documents, along with numerous newly discovered photos, The Fate of the Romanovs makes compelling revisions to many long-held beliefs about the Romanovs’ final months and moments. Emanating from sources both within and close to the Imperial Family as well as from their captors and executioners, these often-controversial materials have enabled a new and comprehensive examination of one the pivotal events of the twentieth century and the many controversies that surround it.

The novel follows Hannah Baker, a teenager girl who commits suicide and leaves behind a series of tapes explaining the reasons and the people who contributed to her unfortunate end. When Clay begins listening to the tapes, he hears stories. The tapes were sent to the first person on them and instructed that person to pass it on to the next person on the tapes after listening to them at the risk of releasing a second set to the public if they didn’t. One tape for each person that influenced her decision. Until he receives a set of 13 numbered tapes detailing why she decided to commit suicide. Not many people know why, and those who do are of course staying silent.Ĭlay Baker doesn’t know much either. I would highly recommend this book to whoever feels that they can handle the content as it is truly one of the better books that I’ve read recently. The way that the story is told is so unique, and even though it addresses some sensitive issues, I feel that the backlash surrounding the story is mainly due to the problems with the TV show and not the book itself. This book was truly phenomenal in my opinion. "What we are assuming is that those who remain will have suffered significant financial damage and only have the capacity to rebuild, some will rebuild fully, some will leave and some will rebuild partially. Loughlin said with no further funding, horticultural production from the Heretaunga Plains would halve and "that drag in lost opportunity" was worth billions. So far the government has pledged $78m for farmers and growers impacted by Cyclone Gabrielle. "The path that the sector will ultimately find itself on will be determined by one factor: Whether the government is willing to listen to industry and local advice to act effectively within a narrow window of time." The BCG report has yet to be fully released, but Rockit chair John Loughlin said post-Cyclone Gabrielle, Hawke's Bay's horticulture sector is at a fork in the road: One path leads to future growth and greater prosperity for the local economy, the other to shrinkage. The malware didn't affect the sexbots - as designed, it jumped from them, but instead of only jumping to the "freight bots" as it was supposed to, it jumped to the SecUnits as well. A technician didn't wait for that and uploaded the "patch" to them anyway (human error, as our Murderbot would point out). The sexbots knew that the "software patch" wasn't to be uploaded until security okayed it. It was designed to shut down the freight bots, so the other company can get its ore (stuff?) to market first. (view spoiler) [ seems that a rival mining company sent some malware masquerading as a software patch to the Ganaka Pit sexbots, with the intention of having it ultimately uploaded to the "freight" bots (who transport whatever it is they were mining). If I had an upper-high school daughter, especially one who didn’t like reading, I would totally give her this book. BUT, for older high school students who can handle it (the majority, in my opinion), Ten Tiny Breaths is an absolute gem. And sure, there are some high school students who are not yet mature enough to handle that. Any book that can do that is worth its weight in gold as far as I am concerned.Īs a New Adult book, Ten Tiny Breaths includes intense (but not pornographic) sexual situations. Ten Tiny Breaths is definitely something special, and I am reviewing it here because I think it will make readers out of non-readers. REVIEW: Although I read the New Adult genre from time to time, I do not typically review New Adult books on my blog unless they are something special. They end up in Miami, where with the help of a few new friends and a hot new neighbor, they must find jobs and learn to survive on their own.

After a year of surgeries and physical therapy, Kacey survived. SUMMARY: Kacey Cleary’s life was shattered four years ago when her parents, best friend, and boyfriend were all killed in a car accident. |
