The lovebirds resided on New Providence Island in the Bahamas before Connery’s death in 2020 at age 90. If you keep my brother’s name ringing, you’re going to keep everybody else’s name ringing, breonna Taylor, Sean Bell, Ahmaud Arbery, you could go through the whole list. Then a strange fact struck Chef Sean Sherman : The food of Chef Sean Sherman people, the Oglala Sioux, was completely unrepresented in American cuisine … ’ I just had an epiphany. You had Sean Penn.Ĭhef Sean Sherman had been working in restaurant kitchens for decades. You had Donna Karan, the fashion designer. You had Bill Clinton there, you had Hillary Clinton there. So the plan, as it appears now, is essentially a kind of purge of the ideologically suspect members of the intelligence apparatus. Its basically to give Sean Hannity material for his television show. And the goal of all this here seems pretty clear. Barr will be able to override other agencies independent classification determinations. Trump has every reason to believe Barr will use his new powers to aid the Presidents anti-deep state propaganda efforts, trump giving Barr unilateral authority over classification is just a huge deal in the world of Intelligence agencies.

It was short, in large part, because he lived, as Pope Benedict noted in his March 12 audience, “in some of the most turbulent years in the Christian West and in the Italian Peninsula in particular.” It was impressive because Boethius was a man of remarkable genius and character. But the pope observed that Boethius was an important figure in the development of Christian philosophy, as his works seek to bridge “the Hellenistic-Roman heritage and the gospel message.” And, the pope added, he has traditionally been honored as a Christian martyr.Īnicius Manlius Severinus Boethius had a short but impressive life. His most famous work makes no mention of Christ or Christian belief. Boethius seems a surprising topic for a papal address: He was a philosopher, not a theologian. 524), a little-known Roman who lived in the waning days of the Empire. In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI devoted part of a Wednesday general audience to Boethius (c. The enemies to lovers leaping off the pages was absolutely stellar. I don’t even know if I can put together a fully thought out review but I can say: READ IT. Uh, I had two friends personally let me know I needed to read this book and THEY WERE NOT WRONG. And as the boundary between hatred and love grows ever thinner with the prince, Violet must untangle a wicked web of deceit in order to save herself and the kingdom-or doom them all. Violet’s wits may protect her in the cutthroat court, but they can’t change her fate. Violet faces her own choice: Seize an opportunity to gain control of her own destiny, no matter the cost, or give in to the ill-fated attraction that’s growing between her and Cyrus. Honesty is for suckers, like the oh-so-not charming Prince Cyrus, who plans to strip Violet of her official role once he’s crowned at the end of the summer-unless Violet does something about it.īut when the king asks her to falsely prophesy Cyrus’s love story for an upcoming ball, Violet awakens a dreaded curse, one that will end in either damnation or salvation for the kingdom-all depending on the prince’s choice of future bride. Violet is a prophet and a liar, influencing the royal court with her cleverly phrased-and not always true-divinations. A darkly enchanting fantasy debut about a morally gray witch, a cursed prince, and a prophecy that ignites their fate-twisted destinies-perfect for fans of The Cruel Prince and Serpent & Dove. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Skellig audio bookWhile in Kenmare, druids seek out the town's ancient stone circle, one of 100 little Stonehenges that dot southwest Ireland. (Don't confuse this over-commercialized town with the scenic and worthwhile Killarney National Park, nearby.) Instead, rent a car and use as your home base the tidy town of Kenmare (it's actually won Ireland's "Tidy Town" award). I skip Killarney, whose main attraction is its transit connections for those without cars. It seems like every tour bus in Ireland makes the ritual loop around the Ring, using the bustling and famous tourist town of Killarney as a springboard. Visitors since Victorian times have been drawn to this evocative chunk of the Emerald Isle, where mysterious ancient ring forts stand sentinel on mossy hillsides. One of Ireland's most popular destinations is the Iveragh Peninsula - known to shamrock-lovers everywhere as the "Ring of Kerry." The Ring, lassoed by a winding coastal road through a mountainous, lake-splattered region, is undeniably scenic. 5/13/2023 0 Comments The house in the cerulean seaReaders can't get enough of this magical story. Today, #thehouseintheceruleansea has over 3.9 million views on TikTok, over 22,000 dedicated posts on Instagram, and a staggering 4.45 average rating across over 292,000 reviews on Goodreads. I recently picked it up again to revisit the comfort of the magical house in the Cerulean Sea and fondly discovered once more why it comes so highly recommended by readers on TikTok. I read this book for the first time in the early weeks of the pandemic, just after it was published, and found the sweet story to be a simply enjoyable read. But when TJ Klune's "The House in the Cerulean Sea" was first published in 2020, I seemed to be seeing the book everywhere and couldn't resist picking it up for myself. I don't read fantasy novels often, usually finding it too challenging to keep track of magic rules, fantastical species, and complicated worlds. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Kitchen Sink Dom by Tanya ChrisWhen Cash meets the handsome man brimming with nervous energy, he feels like he’s struck gold. He’s always wondered if BDSM might be for him, but how can he be honest about what he wants sexually when he can’t be honest about anything else? Wearing a collar, pretending he’s submissive, searching for a Dom who can get him into Hell’s Bedroom, the elite BDSM club where a seventeen-year-old boy has gone missing-his first time working undercover is really stretching his boundaries. Private Investigator Harrison Fisher’s new case isn’t going the way he’d hoped. In Kitchen Sink Dom, a service top is paired with a non-submissive masochist. This is book one in Hell’s Bedroom, a new series that pairs BDSM with a human trafficking investigation, making for excitement in and out of the sheets! Each book features a different take on D/s dynamics. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Life on mars k smithWith this remarkable third collection, Smith establishes herself among the best poets of her generation. These poems reveal the realities of life lived here, on the ground, where a daughter is imprisoned in the basement by her own father, where celebrities and pop stars walk among us, and where the poet herself loses her father, one of the engineers who worked on the Hubble Space Telescope. Women will still be women, but The distinction will be empty. History, with its hard spine & dog-eared Corners, will be replaced with nuance, Just like the dinosaurs gave way To mounds and mounds of ice. Smith envisions a sci-fi future sucked clean of any real dangers, contemplates the dark matter that keeps people both close and distant, and revisits the kitschy concepts like love and illness now relegated to the Museum of Obsolescence. Smith There will be no edges, but curves. With allusions to David Bowie and interplanetary travel, Life on Mars imagines a soundtrack for the universe to accompany the discoveries, failures, and oddities of human existence. She has tried to explain this idea very well in two of her poems in the collection of Life on Mars: The Weather in Space and The Speed of Belief. You lie there kicking like a baby, waiting for God himself Smith deals with these confusing and puzzling relationships of human existence with the universe.

Music is one of their biggest inspirations and they always have something on in the background whilst writing. Sarah currently resides in the Scottish Highlands with their husband. They have always loved the supernatural and exploring the darker side of romance and fantasy novels. Sarah fell in love with novels as a teenager reading their aunt's historical regency romances. Their writing buddies nicknamed Sarah: 'The Queen of Steam' for their pulse racing sex scenes which will leave you a little hot under the collar.īorn and raised in Sussex, UK near the Ashdown Forest, they grew up climbing trees and building Lego towns with their younger brother. They love anti-heroes, alpha males and flawed characters with a little bit of darkness lurking within. They adore all forms of steamy romance and can always be found with a book or ten on their Kindle. Sarah writes dark, contemporary, erotic and paranormal romances. Of course, Granny and Jenzy were my favorites in this biography. So it's guaranteed to be be offensive to many, and it was published in 1985 before political correctness was introduced. Florence King is honest about her feelings and her life, in addition to being funny as Hell. Or just leave your imagination aside, because the scenes in this book are wonderful enough without it.Ī word of warning to some readers. Just imagine Florence going to graduate school in Mississippi in 1960 and realizing that she was a lesbian. Just imagine this group of people living in Washington, D.C. Granny, determined to make a lady of Florence since she had failed so miserably with her own daughter, and Jenzy, Granny's black best friend who lived with them. A mother who smoked, drank and cussed with the best of them. A bookish British father (Herb) who made his living as a musician. This time around, it was just as funny, but I also appreciated the love and respect Florence had for her family, eccentric misfits all. I read this many years ago and loved it because of the humor. |
