It contains a little sci-fi which I don't mind, so that wasn't the reason I couldn't concentrate it just wasn't my kind of thing. I fell hard for this gay romance novel which instantly became one of my favorite. I kept wanting to do other things, and while that doesn't really do justice to the story, I don't feel capable of being able to write an upbeat review. I could not maintain my focus reading this. ![]() I think that this was the first in a series, and honestly, I do wonder how the rest will end up just not enough to read the second and third, or however many there are.

He had a great sense of humor, he got along with everyone as he was just a natural leader due to his stature and charisma. ![]() Right away, he knew she did something for him and he was the ever-present gentleman, protector and lover. I loved Rupert Carsington, as he was sharp in his study of Daphne. And, what a fun, romp-filled, action-packed adventure it was!– From exploring the pyramids, surviving sand storms curled in each other\’s arms and crawling through burial shafts this book was enjoyable at every step. Daphne, the scholarly, beautiful widow who is in search of her kidnapped brother, recruits Rupert Carsington for his strength to help her on this adventure. There was great build up, as the two had a nice sexual chemistry when they met. The romance development between Rupert Carsington, fourth son of the Earl of Hargate ![]() ![]() The book is composed of child-friendly illustrations, quizzes, case studies and advice designed to help young readers better understand smart money management. In A Smart Girl's Guide to Money: How to Make It, Save it, And Spent It, American Girl offers a guide book about navigating finances. My only complaint is that it takes the "soft" view of making sure everyone feels comfortable with their money conversation instead of empowered. ![]() Girls especially want to know how to navigate the social conversation around money, and the book certainly addresses this. Holyoke covers how emotions as well family background all tie into the hows and whys of spending and saving money. The book really shines when it talks about spending habits. While it seems easy to walk a dog, it's a lot harder to understand how to market the business, schedule the business, keep track of money going in AND OUT (supplies as well as labor)and deal with the hiccups. The section on ideas to earn money clearly shows this book is geared for older girls (or those whose parents are willing to do just about everything for them). In these few words, kids might actually understand an oversimplified view on investments and how to participate in investing themselves. There's a brief section on investment at the end which is shockingly age-appropriate. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And this skylarking book will leave readers salivating for more. Never mind jealous detractors: virtuosity is its own reward. Her exhilarating synthesis of the classic and the modern, frivolity and fate - “Pnin” meets “The O.C.” - is a poetic act of will. And in Pessl’s case, Nabokovian doesn’t need scare quotes. “She’s the latest in a long, long line to suffer from ‘Hot Young Author Chick’ Syndrome,” one blogger grumbled another wrote in a headline, “It’s Not About Marisha Pessl’s Looks and Money - Is It?” and asked if the book would have been snapped up so quickly if Pessl hadn’t had such a “drool-worthy author photo.” But don’t hate her because she’s beautiful: her talent and originality would draw wolf whistles if she were an 86-year-old hunchbacked troll. When the news came out that a distractingly pretty actress, playwright and Barnard College graduate named Marisha Pessl, only 27, had sold her first book (which she also illustrated) - a “Nabokovian” thriller about an intellectual widower and his precocious daughter - for a substantial sum, the pick-a-little, talk-a-little publishing blog brigade went into conniptions. Whoever coined the phrase “everybody loves a winner” probably wasn’t one. ![]() ![]() ![]() On the Offensive Prejudice in Language Past and Present Karen is a host of the popular science podcast Monster Talk.

She is a Researcher at the Griffith Centre for Social and Cultural Research and was formerly a Research Associate at the University of California, Berkeley. Karen Stollznow is an Australian-American linguist and author. ![]() By identifying offensive language, both overt and hidden, past and present, we uncover vast amounts about our own attitudes, beliefs, and values and reveal exactly how and why words can offend. ![]() ![]() Drawing on hot button topics and real-life case studies, and delving into the history of offensive terms, a vivid picture of modern discrimination in language emerges. Each chapter addresses a different area of prejudice: race and ethnicity gender identity sexuality religion health and disability physical appearance and age. This book sheds light on the derogatory phrases, insults, slurs, stereotypes, tropes, and more that make up linguistic discrimination. On the Offensive I’m not a racist, but … You look good, for your age … She was asking for it … You’re crazy … That’s so gay … Have you ever wondered why certain language has the power to offend? It is often difficult to recognize the veiled racism, sexism, ageism (and other -isms) that hide in our everyday discourse. ![]() ![]() ![]() etc etc Now that's not to say I'm not appreciating the majority of the information. Information on placing magazine and newspaper personal ads, the cost/benefit analysis of paying for landline voicemail services, advice on how to wear special patterned bandanas to signal what type of BDSM you're into. ![]() I believe this is from the 90's, and a lot of the chapters show. ![]() However, it seems a bit overdue for an updated version. 2) This boo seems to be HIGHLY recommended from several sources. I might have been better off just buying the Kindle version or a physical copy to read. Very stiff, no connection, no nuance in tone, no emotion. I feel like he's presenting this book as if its some kind of 1980's cooperate instructional video. Two things primarily: 1) First and foremost is the narrator. Even though I'm sure a lot of the information here will be useful as an introduction to this world, a lot of things do throw me off from finishing this book. Picked up this book based off of SEVERAL recommendations. 40% in so far, narrator is making this rough. ![]() ![]() ![]() Her analysis goes far to help understand and, in some cases, exonerate gamers for what many perceive as a waste of time or mindless addiction, actually building competitive and positive qualities into gamers. ![]() Through a scholarly presentation of gaming by one of the most renowned experts on the subject, Jane McGonigal gives justification for the amount of time we all spend on games and provides insight into how to relate to gamers. ![]() Through many examples of games, the book can help the reader understand business or the world and how it applies to this “gamer” generation. The book then goes on to advance the premise that reality has failed us because it is not as interesting as games, and how we can therefore correct this problem through application of the principles of games. The author distills the game into 4 basic components: a goal the rules a feedback system and voluntary participation. ![]() |
