Warren, who still can’t lift her child, load her gun, or recall a single detail from the night that may have cost her everything. The only person who may have seen the killer: Detective D.D. Six weeks later, a second woman is discovered murdered in her own bed, her room containing the same calling cards from the first: a bottle of champagne and a single red rose. Incarcerated for thirty years, she has now murdered more people while in prison than she did as a free woman. My sister is Shana Day, a notorious murderer who first killed at fourteen. All she knows is that she is seriously injured, unable to move her left arm, unable to return to work. She is later told she managed to discharge her weapon three times. Then, a creaking floorboard, a low voice crooning in her ear. Warren remembers is walking the crime scene after dark. Due to a genetic condition, I can’t feel pain. They do so, Freud argues, by means of sexual love within family groups. Freud wonders whether societies are held together by this selfless love, and by its related religious feeling, but states that these instances of generosity alone cannot constitute a society.įreud then addresses how human beings come to join themselves to others. Freud wonders how religions function in society, and sees in religion a kind of generous, selfless love – at least, this love as an ideal. He wonders how these forces are manifest on the social level.įreud’s essay moves organically – that is, not in a strict order, but by association of related ideas. Freud isolates the individual’s ego, superego, and id – the self, the regulating self, and deep, base desires – as the three forces inherent on the personal level. Freud attempts, in his essay, to understand how people relate to their societies, how societies are formed, and how individual psychic forces interact with larger, group-level forces. Freud believes that religion is central to how societies function – even societies that no longer consist of orthodox believers. Sigmund Freud begins his long essay, Civilization and Its Discontents, by describing his inability to understand what he calls “religious feeling.” Freud is not religious himself, though he has good friends who are. Before he died, he wanted to be remembered as a normal seagull, not a god. However, Jonathan became an influence in the community and showed other seagulls the "more" there was to life. This led Jonathan to go back to his former seagull community where he was banished from. However, he kept learning, he transcended to another realm, and asides from improving his flight skills he also had to learn to love others, to forgive and show kindness. But with this newfound feat, the elders of the seagull community thought him a disgrace, thus banished him, as no seagull was ever expected to do what Jonathan did. He found new ways to fly at different speeds and ever so graciously. However, Jonathan discovered there was more to life than surviving. Within the seagull community, seagulls lived a very bland life, only living to feed off fish from boats and the likes. This short book is about a seagull named Jonathan Livingston Seagull, who wanted more for his life, went after the more he found, was banished for being an outlier, yet he learned to perfect his skills, to love and show kindness. What is Jonathan Livingston Seagull all about? Either way, I went on to get the audio version of Jonathan Livingston Seagull from Audible, and I was blown away by the audio narration, the sound of the sea, of waves, air, the melody, etc.! I listened over and over to specific portions and truly, I recommend this as a great read to anyone wanting to explore life despite others being afraid or limiting them. I really liked her for her stupid and endearing behaviour of getting into trouble. The Characters and the Plot – The story follows Willa Knight, a clumsy, hilarious female who has the uncanny ability to create a chaotic mess everywhere she goes. And the Sols strive their best to please the Gods, so they get the chance to stand with them. Basically, the dwellers are the slaves of the Sols. This part is explained early on, so you aren’t confused about all the political standing. Even the people are divided into three classes – Dwellers (the ordinary people), Sol (people who have some God-like powers) and the Gods (the rulers of their worlds). It is divided into two – Minatsol, where the people live, and Topia, where the Gods live. The Premise – The world is pretty unique in this book. The authors have set the theme pretty well. Trickery, Curse of the Gods Book 1, is a fantastic start to the overall story. I was already a fan of Jaymin Eve because of her Hive Trilogy and the Supernatural Prison Trilogy, which I highly recommend if you are a PNR YA fan. The Curse of the Gods series was one of my first adventures with RH as a genre. “We think the world is hungry for a love story like theirs - that authentically allows for the space and complexity of their changing dynamic, both as Ming transitions but also as the two of them grow into adulthood - while still honoring the excitement and intensity of first love. “We were immediately absorbed and transported by the love story between Tom and Ming - and by Nicola’s writing, which is in equal parts hilarious and heart-breaking,” said Element Pictures’ Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe and Chelsea Morgan Hoffmann, who will executive produce alongside Dinan. Moving from London to Kuala Lumpur, New York to Cologne, Bellies follows two queer students, Tom and Ming, who fall in love at university and find their relationship dramatically upended when Ming comes out as trans and decides to transition.

After two failed attempts to escape-each bringing severe beatings and death threats-Francis finally escaped at age seventeen, a dramatic breakaway on foot that was his final chance.

Strapped to horses and donkeys, Francis and others were taken north, into lives of slavery under wealthy Muslim farmers.įor ten years, Francis lived alone in a shed near the goats and cattle that were his responsibility. May, 1986: Selling his mother's eggs and peanuts near his village in southern Sudan, seven year old Francis Bok's life was shattered when Arab raiders on horseback, armed with rifles and long knives, burst into the quiet marketplace, murdering men and women and gathering the young children into a group.
