Fearless tia louise pdf5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It’ll be the last bit of evidence I need to get you out of our lives for good.” He stops just short of where I stand, unclenching his fist long enough to grasp my upper arm and jerk me hard enough to leave a bruise. “I hope you are stupid enough to hit me again. “You’ll shut your stupid mouth, or I’ll shut it for you.” Setting my jaw, I hold my eyes open, my posture straight, my tone steady. ![]() Too bad for you, pedophilia went out with the seventies.” His meaty fist clenches, and a shudder races down my body. “How is your mother, Blake?” Exactly how you want her–blind to your bullshit. “It’s not a party, it’s a wake, and my father’s estate is most definitely my business, especially with my mother being… how she is.” Victor’s thin lips curl, exposing large teeth behind a groomed mustache. The last time I stood up to him, I ended up in the emergency department, and I confess, my confidence took a hit. He’s the embezzling accountant who’s sleeping with my mother, hurting my sister, and rumored to be connected to the mob type of bully. You know the ones, with too much money and no imagination. ![]() I’m more accustomed to standing up to bored, mean-girl bullies. I’m way out of my league with Victor Petrova, but I never back down from a bully. “Don’t make me remind you what happens when you get in my way.” The tiny, silver scar tingles above my left eyebrow, and my heart beats like a rabbit trying to escape my ribcage. “Go back to the party.” The man’s voice is quietly menacing, black eyes glittering in the reflection of the green lawyer’s lamp. ![]() Pride by ibi zoboi characters5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() Zuri’s voice carries Pride, making readers fall in love with her, her neighborhood, and her family. Readers looking for a contemporary story lead by a fiercely independent heroine and told in brilliantly strong prose will be enthralled by Ibi Zoboi’s Pride. She does not think the boys belong in her neighborhood, but they may not be as stuck up as she believes. ![]() ![]() When two handsome, rich brothers move in across the street, however, Zuri will be confronted with some of her own prejudices. Zuri Benitez is one of five daughters growing up in Brookly, and she is planning out a future full of dreams–one where she goes to Howard and then comes back to help transform the neighborhood she loves. Pride is a fresh retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice that pays homage to the original story while making the tale fully its own. ![]() Hemlock and Sage by Tali Inlow5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I have been working on some personal and career goals for a while now with varying-and I mean VARYING-levels of success, focus, and motivation. I've been thinking a lot about goals and how to achieve them, especially the difficult ones. It's asking for answers, but it's not cheating. I don't know a single professional who hasn't asked a colleague to be a second set of eyes on a high-stakes communication. It's about building on real-life actions and experiences by actually DOING the thing. One thing I love about experiential and competency-based learning is that it's not about rote memorization to help you pass a test and move on. ![]() She responded with "now I feel like high school students looking up the answers to online tests on Quizlet just so they can pass." I have a good friend and former coworker who asked for my help writing a business communication assignment for her degree for a manufacturing simulation, and because I had about 8 months of project management experience in a manufacturing facility (a random pivot in my career), I had some insight I could offer her that helped her out. ![]() Dan brown movies the lost symbol5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() This month, the streaming service Peacock releases the latest Langdon thriller, a prequel TV series based on his book The Lost Symbol (out Sept. While they may not have captivated critics, the films have nonetheless grossed nearly $1.5 billion worldwide. The books have also spawned a cinematic trilogy, starring Tom Hanks (65) and directed by Ron Howard (67). His Robert Langdon series features a juicy page-turning combination of religion, art, cryptography and conspiracy theories that has continually propelled him to the top of the best-seller list since the release of his 2000 hit Angels & Demons. With more than 200 million copies of his books in print worldwide, The Da Vinci Code novelist Dan Brown, 57, is an undisputed pop-literature powerhouse.

Sony Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection David Lee/Peacock ![]() Wyrd sister5/20/2023 ![]() Effectively having three leads is a new idea for Pratchett and allows him to spread the story out a bit more, even if Granny does come across as the effective leader of the group. ![]() This time around she's one of a coven of three witches, alongside the matriarchal Nanny Ogg and the young and (misleadingly) wet-behind-the-ears Magrat Garlick. Our leading protagonist is Granny Weatherwax, who previously appeared (in a simpler form) in Equal Rites. It's also the first time that Pratchett seems to have consciously built up an entire community of characters in a book, with a view to revisiting them later on. Wyrd Sisters mashes together the plot of MacBeth with influence from Hamlet and a subplot about making plays (including a Shakespeare-ish analogue character). ![]() ![]() Six books into his Discworld series, Terry Pratchett decided to take on Bill Shakespeare. ![]() Holes book audio5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() A spin-off sequel to Holes entitled Small Steps was published in 2006 and centers on one of the secondary characters in the novel, Theodore "Armpit" Johnson. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, grossing $71 million, and was released in conjunction with the book companion Stanley Yelnats' Survival Guide to Camp Green Lake. Holes was adapted by Walt Disney Pictures as a feature film of the same name released in 2003. In 2012 it was ranked number six among all-time children's novels in a survey published by School Library Journal. It won the 1998 US National Book Award for Young People's Literature and the 1999 Newbery Medal for the year's "most distinguished contribution to American literature for children". Much of the praise for the book has centered around its complex plot, interesting characters, and representation of people of color and incarcerated youth. The book was both a critical and commercial success. These interconnecting stories touch on themes such as racism, homelessness, illiteracy, and arranged marriage. The plot explores the history of the area and how the actions of several characters in the past have affected Stanley's life in the present. The book centers on Stanley Yelnats, who is sent to Camp Green Lake, a correctional boot camp in a desert in Texas, after being falsely accused of theft. Holes is a 1998 young adult novel written by Louis Sachar and first published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maxwell Derring, the Earl of Dane, is a young man who takes his responsibilities to his title and his country very seriously. The only life she’s really ever known is the one she lives now – harsh and grim, living in the slums with the gang and in fear of their brutal leader, Satin. She has a very dim recollection of once being called by a different name and of living a different life, but has learned to dismiss them as mere dreams. Marlowe belongs to one of the many gangs of thieves that inhabit that area of London – the Covent Garden Cubs – and is one of the best pickpockets and housebreakers in the gang. ![]() The story is, at first glance, a simple cross-class romance with a bit of Pygmalion thrown in as her Eliza – Marlowe, a thief from Seven Dials – gets to see how the other half lives when she is abducted from the streets by an investigator hired to trace the whereabouts of a girl who went missing fifteen years earlier. ![]() ![]() Shana Galen’s new Covent Garden Cubs series gets off to a terrific start with Earls Just Want to Have Fun which is – fortunately – a book with much more emotional depth than it’s overly cutesy title would seem to suggest. ![]() The last time we say goodbye book review5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() He’s the only weak link in Cynthia Hand’s brave book, which is a departure from her Unearthly series. While begrudgingly journaling for a therapist, Lex distances herself from well-intentioned friends and dumps a thoughtful, self-aware boyfriend of the sort in short supply in actual high schools. This makes it sound like the most morbid game of Clue ever, but there it is.” She’s a plain-spoken math whiz with no patience for euphemism: “God, I hate that pause, while the person speaking searches for the most watered down way to say died. (population 179), is 18-year-old Alexis Riggs, whose younger brother, Tyler, has been dead for seven weeks. Our guide through the post-suicide wreckage in Raymond, Neb. You will see new shoots sprouting where you least expect them. ![]() ![]() Still, reading “The Last Time We Say Goodbye” feels like exploring a forest after it’s been decimated by wildfire. Even if you think you have a high tolerance for gut-wrenching fiction, the tragedy may knock you flat. There are no silver linings or surprise resurrections in either of these devastating novels in which teenagers take their own lives.
