At the same time, Jomny's curious presence allows these characters to open up to him in ways they were never able to before, revealing the power of somebody who is just there to listen. The characters are unique and inventive-bees think long and hard about what love means, birds try to eat the sun, nothingness questions its own existence, a ghost comes to terms with dying, and an introverted hedgehog slowly lets Jomny see its artistic insecurities. There is a bear tired of other creatures running in fear, an egg struggling to decide what to hatch into, a turtle hiding itself by learning camouflage, a puppy struggling to express its true feelings, and many more.

Men, can’t live with ‘em, can’t turn ‘em all into swine. To protect what she loves most, Circe must summon all her strength and choose, once and for all, whether she belongs with the gods she is born from or with the mortals she has come to love. Threatened, Zeus banishes her to a deserted island, where she hones her occult craft, tames wild beasts, and crosses paths with many of the most famous figures in all of mythology, including the Minotaur, Daedalus and his doomed son Icarus, the murderous Medea, and, of course, wily Odysseus.īut there is danger, too, for a woman who stands alone, and Circe unwittingly draws the wrath of both men and gods, ultimately finding herself pitted against one of the most terrifying and vengeful of the Olympians. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power: the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves. But Circe is a strange child-neither powerful like her father nor viciously alluring like her mother. In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. And when it comes to Christmas and buying gifts for our loved ones, it really is the thought that counts.īut there’s a little more to ‘The Gift of the Magi’ than this rather hackneyed old adage, which would reduce the story to a sentimental and rather twee fable about ‘giving being better than receiving’ and ‘love being more important than money’. For surely the ‘moral’ of ‘The Gift of the Magi’, given its Christmas setting and the fact that Jim and Della clearly love each other and treat each other well despite having no money to afford the finer things in life, is that love is more important than possessions. Henry tell us? Is it because he wanted us to make up our own minds, or did he assume that the answer was fairly self-explanatory? But what makes Jim and Della wise? And why doesn’t O. As Kady hacks into a tangled web of data to find the truth, it’s clear only one person can help her bring it all to light: the ex-boyfriend she swore she’d never speak to again! A deadly plague has broken out and is mutating, with terrifying results the fleet’s AI, which should be protecting them, may actually be their enemy and nobody in charge will say what’s really going on. With enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra-who are barely even talking to each other-are forced to fight their way onto one of the evacuating fleet, with an enemy warship in hot pursuit.īut their problems are just getting started. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than an ice-covered speck at the edge of the universe. This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she’d have to do.

At the gym where she works, at the coffee shop she frequents, and then at the LGBT therapy group she decides to attend on a whim. Parker is less than a year out of a toxic relationship when she starts seeing Ava all over town. But when she starts seeing Parker everywhere, she finds it hard to ignore how familiar Parker is, and how at peace Parker's presence in her life makes her feel. Ava's traumatic past with relationships, and her inability to fully embrace her asexuality has made it hard for her to connect with anyone. When Ava meets Parker in an LGBT therapy group, she's hesitant to get close to someone new. " A beautiful story about healing through trauma, and finding love again (both within yourself and another) after a toxic relationship." -Melissa Karibian, author of A Song of Silver and Gold. So Montrose does the unthinkable: he injects himself with a dangerous biochemical drug designed to boost his already formidable intellect to superhuman intelligence. Known as the Monument, the artifact is inscribed with data so complex, only a posthuman mind can decipher it. The chance to help usher in that future comes when Montrose is recruited for a manned interstellar mission to investigate an artifact of alien origin. But Montrose is also a mathematical genius-and a romantic who dreams of a future in which humanity rises from the ashes to take its place among the stars. Hundreds of years in the future, after the collapse of the Western world, young Menelaus Illation Montrose grows up in what was once Texas as a gunslinging duelist for hire. In Like a Mother, Garbes offers a rigorously researched and compelling look at the physiology, biology, and psychology of pregnancy and motherhood, informed by in-depth reportage and personal experience. To educate herself, the food and culture writer embarked on an intensive journey of exploration, diving into the scientific mysteries and cultural attitudes that surround motherhood to find answers to questions that had only previously been given in the form of advice about what women ought to do-rather than allowing them the freedom to choose the right path for themselves. Your obstetrician will cautiously quote statistics online sources will scare you with conflicting and often inaccurate data and even the most trusted books will offer information with a heavy dose of judgment. What exactly is a placenta and how does it function? How does a body go into labor? Why is breast best? Is wine totally off-limits? But as she soon discovered, it's not easy to find satisfying answers. Like most first-time mothers, Angela Garbes was filled with questions when she became pregnant. A candid, feminist, and personal deep dive into the science and culture of pregnancy and motherhood.
