When a misunderstanding results in the two teams sharing a rink, and Anastasia’s partner gets hurt in the aftermath, Nate finds himself swapping his stick for tights, and one scary coach for an even scarier one. As much as both Anastasia and Nate are truly well-written and are an enjoyable duo to read about, it’s definitely the secondary characters that steal the show. As captain of the Maple Hills Titans, he knows the responsibility of keeping the hockey team on the ice rests on his shoulders. Grace truly created an amazing boyfriend MMC in Icebreaker. Nathan Hawkins has never had a problem he couldn’t solve. Synopsis: Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA.Ī competitive figure skater since she was five years old, a full college scholarship thanks to her place on the Maple Hills skating team, and a schedule that would make even the most driven person weep, Stassie comes to win. One day a man came into the previous school library where I worked and was going on about how kids these days don't learn geography and so forth. For example, the library in my former town always had a box of outdated maps, and I collect those for various projects. I think that some of the items that people donate would work better as raw materials for craft projects than read for their (out-of-date) information. Lots of people are making altered books now as well, and they need sturdy books for that. In addition to the bookcase idea timepiece shared, there are a lot of instructions on sites like craftster for things like the purses made from books (for example), which require sturdy hardcover volumes. If your library does book sales, you might want to advertise/label these sorts of items as craft materials. In considering this possibility, the thesis engages at length with Maurice Blanchot's argument that death, being irrevocably absent and therefore unknowable, is not open to presentation or representation.

Shōgun tells the story of an English pilot, John Blackthorne, in charge of five Dutch ships whose purpose is to break the Portuguese monopoly on Japanese trade. In addition to penning a good book to curl up with, Clavell built a bridge of understanding from West to East by fictionalizing a historical encounter between them. Clavell's survival of a Japanese death camp gave him unique insight into human behavior and cultural differences, enabling him to produce a truly gripping story. Such features make Clavell an "oldfashioned storyteller" who spins captivating yarns rather than an artiste like Virginia Woolf or Thomas Pynchon. The novel contains war, trade disputes, cultural clash, passion, death, and descriptions of beauty that have kept readers up until dawn. Although not considered great literature by most critics, Shōgun: A Novel of Japan made its author, James du Maresq Clavell, one of the most widely read twentieth-century novelists. The brain is a powerful tool, and the more you work to change the way you respond to fear, the more resilient you will become. In the book, Pittman and Karle make it simple by offering specific examples of how to manage fear by tapping into both of these pathways in the brain.Īs you read, you’ll gain a greater understanding how anxiety is created in the brain, and as a result, you will feel empowered and motivated to overcome it. By comparison, the cortex is the center of “worry.” That is, obsessing, ruminating, and dwelling on things that may or may not happen. The amygdala acts as a primal response, and oftentimes, when this part of the brain processes fear, you may not even understand why you are afraid. In the book, you will learn how the amygdala and cortex (both important parts of the brain) are essential players in the neuropsychology of anxiety. Do you ever wonder what is happening inside your brain when you feel anxious, panicked, and worried? In Rewire Your Anxious Brain, psychologist Catherine Pittman and author Elizabeth Karle offer a unique, evidence-based solution to overcoming anxiety based in cutting-edge neuroscience and research. If this were written in the mainstream media would we consider it homophobic? Quite possibly, but as I read it and the chapter as a whole I just thought ‘this isn’t me, in fact, this isn’t any gay man I know’. The way gay men are described in the above paragraph just smacks of lazy stereotyping to me. I’m only 20 or so pages in and I’m annoyed! Now I don’t doubt the book will provide some useful tips as I delve further into it and despite it already annoying me deeply I will finish it eventually! So why am I annoyed?
