7/8/2023 0 Comments Amy cuddy presence ted talkIf they don't buy what they're selling, I don't buy what they're selling." She quotes one venture capitalist as saying, "I'm watching out for clues that let me know they don't completely buy what they're selling. In her book, Cuddy shares observations she's gleaned from interviewing many successful venture capitalists who must swiftly decide whether an idea, and more important its owner, are worthy of investment. According to Cuddy, making a few tweaks in our body language can increase our self-confidence and change not only how we see ourselves, but others' perceptions of us as well. Based on years of research, her central message is that we can gain strength and personal power by taking advantage of the mind-body connection. Amy Cuddy, the Harvard Business School professor and psychologist best known for having the second-most-watched TED talk of all time (over 33 million views so far), is also the author of the new best-selling book Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges. 7/8/2023 0 Comments Matilda novelThis edition contains the complete and unabridged text and includes brand-new color illustrations throughout by Sarah Walsh. Matilda’s character is certainly one to get behind-she’s empowering, knowledgeable and brave-and the entire story is freckled with funny bits and peppered with plenty of practical jokes. When Matilda meets Miss Honey, a warm-hearted and sweet teacher, she finds her inner strength and uses her newly-discovered exceptional talent to fight back and set more than a few things right in her world. Her father, a rotten car salesman, and her mother, obsessed with playing bingo, are completely clueless and treat her almost as terribly as the nasty Miss Trunchbull, the child-hating, ex-Olympic hammer-throwing headmistress at school. She can even do advanced math in her head. She has read every children’s book in the library and a few for adults. When Dahl first wrote the book, she was a wicked child and very different from how she is now known to readers worldwide. Matilda is a very kind-hearted character-she’s a gifted, intelligent, book-loving five-year-old who taught herself to read. Matilda was the last long kids’ book that Roald Dahl wrote before he passed away in 1990. 7/8/2023 0 Comments The true queen by zen choIt’s not entirely clear why Muna feels she must hide the truth about her magic and her predicament in general other than her (somewhat reasonable, given the societal context) mistrust of the English or the author’s need to inject additional tension into the plot. Muna must find some way back into Fairy to find Sakti and dodge the wrathful Fairy Queen while concealing from Prunella and her fellow instructor, Miss Henrietta Stapleton, that she cannot do magic. Meanwhile, someone has stolen a powerful magical talisman from the Fairy Queen, and she blames England magicians in general and Prunella in particular, threatening to put them all to death if the item is not returned. Muna takes refuge with Prunella Wythe, Britain’s controversial Sorceress Royal, who has opened up an Academy to teach young women to become magiciennes. The powerful witch Mak Genggang grants the two young women her protection, but their effort to determine who cursed them takes them to England-or at least, it takes Muna Sakti is lost during the perilous journey through Fairy. Cho returns to the magical alternate Regency England of Sorcerer to the Crown (2015).Ī storm at sea leaves sisters Sakti and Muna washed up on the beach at Janda Baik without their memories and suffering from a curse. 7/7/2023 0 Comments Unzipped by Lauren BlakelyMy college girlfriend isn’t the one who shows up when I play my “I’ll do anything to win you back” tune.

Of one innocent child? Think about that. The Hainish Cycle reflects the anthropologist's experience of immersing themselves in new strange cultures since most of their main characters and narrators (Le Guin favoured the first-person narration) are envoys from a humanitarian organization, the Ekumen, sent to investigate or ally themselves with the people of a different world and learn their ways. Her interest in non-Western philosophies was reflected in works such as "Solitude" and The Telling but even more interesting are her imagined societies, often mixing traits extracted from her profound knowledge of anthropology acquired from growing up with her father, the famous anthropologist, Alfred Kroeber. She was known for her treatment of gender ( The Left Hand of Darkness, The Matter of Seggri), political systems ( The Telling, The Dispossessed) and difference/otherness in any other form. Her recent publications include the novel Lavinia, an essay collection, Cheek by Jowl, and The Wild Girls. Le Guin published twenty-two novels, eleven volumes of short stories, four collections of essays, twelve books for children, six volumes of poetry and four of translation, and has received many awards: Hugo, Nebula, National Book Award, PEN-Malamud, etc. 7/7/2023 0 Comments First comes scandalThe Girl With the Make-Believe Husband was set in Revolutionary War-era New York City, and The Other Miss Bridgerton had a few chapters in Lisbon. (And Colin as a baby!)īut beyond that, the Rokesby books have enabled me to visit new locales. It was incredibly fun to visit with them, and especially to show Anthony and Benedict Bridgerton as young boys. But then due to the way the series was structured, they didn’t really show up in a meaningful way until this final book. I first conceived of this series as a way to show some of our favorite characters (namely Edmund and Violet Bridgerton) when they were younger. What have you loved about writing this expanded world? This is the final book in your prequel series to the Bridgertons series. First Comes Scandalis the final book in my Rokesby/Bridgerton prequel series, and it opens with Nicholas Rokesby being basically ordered by his father to marry his neighbor and girl-next-door Georgiana Bridgerton after her reputation is ruined by an overzealous suitor. I’ve been writing historical romance since 1995, primarily set in late 1700s/early 1800s Great Britain. Hi, Fresh Fiction! Thanks for the opportunity to introduce myself. Welcome to Fresh Fiction, Julia! Please tell us about yourself and a little bit about your latest book, FIRST COMES SCANDAL. Jeanette peppers the story of her childhood with fanciful interludes: tales of her own invention which mirror whatever she is going through at a certain point in her life. Jeanette is more curious about than haunted by the woman’s prediction and begins wondering at an early age what her future will hold. When she is very young, Jeanette meets a gypsy woman who foretells that she will never marry and will never be able to be still. Jeanette, who is adopted, was brought into her mother’s home to join her in a “tag match against the rest of the world.” Jeanette’s childhood is full of rigorous daily prayer, and she spends most of her time assisting her mother, who is very involved with their Evangelist church. Her mother was combative, devout, and saw the world in black-and-white. When Jeanette was a girl, she writes, she lived, like most people, with her mother and father. Even though men (and ghosts) can’t seem to stop staring at her generously endowed chest, there’s more to Pepper than meets the eye. Seeing him isn’t the real problem, however, as Gus can also talk to Pepper, and demands that she solve his murder, threatening to haunt her until she does so. The set up of Don of the Dead is really quite clever – Pepper Martin, a tour guide at a Cleveland cemetery, falls and cracks her head on the corner of a mausoleum and is thereafter able to see the spirit of the resident of that mausoleum, one Gus Scarpetti, a one time crime boss who had been gunned down by an unknown assailant thirty years earlier.
