![]() ![]() We need to protect ourselves - by that I mean, We the People, and not “we the power-mad, conspiracy-fearing politicians and military idiots”. God knows the government is comfortable enough doing illegal, black ops anyway. How much further will they take this? Usually, when government starts infringing on rights and properties, they simply keep going. The government can come up with any excuse to arrest people and not allow them the rights we’ve come to expect. It allows for terrible actions on the part of power-mad people without any recourse for those taken. I think we need to get rid of the Patriot Act. When you want someone to agree with you, being brutal and mean is not the way to go. These guys really need to look up persuasive techniques. ![]() Even though I knew better, Armentrout had me questioning whether, maybe, the bad guys, weren’t the bad guys, even as they inflicted humiliation and torture on Katy. Nothing like dropping you in and immediately ratcheting up the heart rate! And Armentrout doesn’t let you go!! She’s good.

When the miasma of falsehood suffocates you, and you gag on ready-made answers to questions you’re not asking-then reach for her. Sip slowly, and reserve for special occasions: the sort of occasions when your back is to the wall, and the pall mantles your shoulders. This is not something you take with you to the beach, or that you consume at one sitting. ![]() If you’ve never tried it before, you may be shocked at the punch it packs, and astonished at the complexity of the flavors.

If you’ve never perceived evil in your vicinity-the petty kind, with no glamor to make it titillating-don’t bother reading her stories. ![]() She’s known as a Catholic writer, but the sort of Catholics who have no sense of evil don’t like Flannery much, especially when they find out that she recommended avoiding devotional literature. There’s a famous person in the Bible who provoked nice people to complain, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” The same could be said of Flannery O’Connor. ![]() ![]() Readers are obsessed with this book because of the romantic romance.

There are a few weird things about Dengeki Daisy that I'll put forward (and that will also make 2011 Theresa mad because she was indeed obsessed with this manga). This is that kind of book where we know more than the main character and the entire time, we're like, "YOU DORK, THE ANSWER IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR NOSE!" when the answers are right in front of our noses. To add to the interestingness, we know who Daisy is, but Teru doesn't. He looks good to the main character but is a bad guy when other people look at him. But what I used to think was just a guardian watching over his friend's little sister in secret is so much more than that. ![]() So now I have access to actual book version, not just mangafox.Īnd I will just say.

It allocates power and draws boundaries and turns some people into stars and others into spectators. It only resolves tiny, insignificant things. Backman makes you feel the core emotions of sports…what makes something that can seem frivolous mean so much to some people. ![]() But, Beartown is an entirely different story and is one of my favorite books of the year so far! Beartown has been compared to Friday Night Lights, which is accurate in that this is a story of a town who’s hopes are declining every day and whose youth sports team is really the only thing it’s residents have to be proud of. My Thoughts: I was hesitant to read Beartown because I abandoned Backman’s smash hit, A Man Called Ove, pretty early on. ![]() ![]() Plot Summary: While small, down and out Beartown goes crazy over its youth ice hockey team’s run in the Swedish national tournament, something explosive happens to throw the town’s and team’s hopes into jeopardy.

There are five of them, each describing an expression of-you guessed it-love. The concept of love languages is actually quite simple. It all goes back to ways of paying attention," couples therapist and co-founder of Alchemy of Love Angela Amias tells Oprah Daily.
