6/29/2023 0 Comments Flowers for the sea zin e rocklyn![]() ![]() Even before the story gets going it is abundantly clear that she is nobody to fuck with.įlowers for the Sea was my first foray into Rocklyn’s work, but it most definitely won’t be the last. She is a complicated woman who is by turns vulnerable, tough, and combative. In just over 100 pages, Rocklyn manages to create a surprisingly complex small-scale society, well-developed characters, and a rich, engrossing story. I don’t want to say much about the story since it is quite short, and I think doing so would veer dangerously toward spoiler territory, so we’ll just focus on the writing. Between this and Mira Grant’s Into the Drowning Deep, I’m in my happy place. I’ve been on a tales-by-sea kick lately, and from the moment I picked Flowers for the Sea up, I was hooked. But I wanted to make sure to get this one done as soon as possible because I LOVED IT SO MUCH. And I still have a massive pile of stuff awaiting review. Who the hell am I? Have I been body-snatched? Well, look at me getting an ARC review out before the publication date. A post shared by Angie – Stranger Sights My Thoughts: ![]()

![]() D’Souza chillingly documents the full range of lawless, gangster, and authoritarian tendencies that they have adopted. He reveals how it uses the Venezuelan, not the Scandinavian, formula. He shows how socialism abandoned the working class and found new recruits by drawing on the resentments of race, gender and sexual orientation. ![]() This is the new face of socialism that D’Souza confronts and decisively refutes with his trademark incisiveness, wit and originality. Today’s socialists claim to model themselves not on Mao’s Great Leap Forward or even Venezuelan socialism but rather on the “socialism that works” in Scandinavian countries like Norway and Sweden. America’s typical socialist is not a working-class union man but a Black Lives Matter activist, a transgender militant or a prophet of environmental apocalypse. It is “identity socialism,” a marriage between classic socialism and identity politics. ![]() ![]() In this pathbreaking book, bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza argues that the socialism advanced today by the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Ilhan Omar and Elizabeth Warren is very different from the socialism of Lenin, Mao and Castro. How can socialism work now when it has never worked before? For those who witnessed the global collapse of socialism, its resurrection in the twenty-first century comes as a surprise, even a shock. ![]() 6/29/2023 0 Comments Veronika decides to die goodreads![]() You can also make minor revisions for style or headline size, and you can trim stories for space.

Coming Undone by Lauren Dane (I put it down halfway through, since I wasn’t connected.Fifty Shades Freed: Book Three of the Fifty Shades Trilogy by E.L.Willing Victim by Cara McKenna ( reviewed).Obsidian by Jennifer L Armentrout ( reviewed).Too much drama for the sake of drama, unbelievable life circumstances, much too far-fetched for me to accept it.

6/29/2023 0 Comments Alone at Dawn by Dan Schilling![]() ![]() Whether you're looking for news and entertainment, thinking of joining the military or keeping up with military life and benefits, has you covered. Keep Up With the Best in Military Entertainment We’ll have more details as they become available. Our best guess is that we’re looking at a 2023 release. Gyllenhaal currently is filming a Michael Bay action picture called “Ambulance,” and Hargrave owes Netflix a sequel to the new action classic “Extraction,” so it’s likely to be a few months or even next year before “Combat Control” begins filming. ![]() The film deserved more awards attention than it got at the time, but Hollywood just couldn’t quit Gyllenhaal’s other big movie that year, “Brokeback Mountain,” and gave him his only Oscar nomination for his role in that movie instead of his lead performance in “Jarhead.” ![]() ![]() Gyllenhaal made a huge impression when he played Marine sniper Anthony Swofford in “Jarhead,” a 2005 movie based on Swofford’s memoir about his service in the Gulf War. Chapman was the first Air Force member to be recognized with a Medal of Honor since the Vietnam War.

Race scientists claim there are evolutionary bases for disparities in social outcomes – such as life expectancy, educational attainment, wealth, and incarceration rates – between racial groups. ![]() The claim that there is a link between race and intelligence is the main tenet of what is known as “race science” or, in many cases, “scientific racism”. Through a surprising mix of fringe and mainstream media sources, these ideas are reaching a new audience, which regards them as proof of the superiority of certain races. The idea that certain races are inherently more intelligent than others is being trumpeted by a small group of anthropologists, IQ researchers, psychologists and pundits who portray themselves as noble dissidents, standing up for inconvenient facts. O ne of the strangest ironies of our time is that a body of thoroughly debunked “science” is being revived by people who claim to be defending truth against a rising tide of ignorance. ![]() ![]() ![]() Along the way, Sorrow and Suffering teach Much-Afraid important lessons about perseverance, faith, and trust in God.
