The collection tackles such widely varied subjects as the childhood of the author Edgar Allan Poe, the life of axe murderer Lizzie Borden and the problematic situation of the changeling child from A Midsummer Night's Dream. So I was pleased to find a similar adult fairy tale approach applied elsewhere in this book. I had read The Bloody Chamber years ago and enjoyed Carter's unique take on traditional tales such as Red Riding Hood and Blue Beard, while her joyous retelling of Puss in Boots contains my favourite version of this hoodlum character. Carter's ability to take the everyday and transform it into the fantastic is evident in stories that range from a cautionary tale of a musician in love with his instrument to a lost motorist whose journey ends in nightmarish circumstances in the Snow Pavilion. The tales are prefaced with a revealing introduction by Salman Rushdie, who was a friend of the author.īurning your Boats brings together Carter's early works and her uncollected short stories, alongside the collections Fireworks, The Bloody Chamber, Black Venus and American Ghosts. Summary: Angela Carter's exotic short stories, previously published in four separate volumes, are presented here as a single collection.

The popularity ofABNKKBSNPLAko in particular is attributed to an element of nostalgia. success of Bob Ong's book among Filipinos has been attributed to its conversational tone which uses humor to point out various absurdities inherent to Filipino culture. The title is meant to be read phonetically as "Aba, nakakabasa na pala ako?!", which can be roughly translated as "Wow, I can read now?!" The novel details what are supposedly childhood memories of the author, from his earliest days as a student until his first few years at work. ABNKKBSNPLAko?!

Breaking the obesity code5/28/2023 The benefits of fasting are hormonal, specifically, fasting consistently lowers insulin levels, which leads to increased insulin sensitivity, where your body becomes more responsive to insulin.īased on my personal experience with fasting and coaching many adult clients on weight loss using fasting, it’s best to start dialing in on what you are eating first, specifically reducing processed carbohydrates and refined sugars and eating a balance of quality carbohydrates and more protein, and healthy fats. Jason Fung is also an excellent resource. What to eat and when to eat is what’s important. It’s the quality and composition of calories and the timing of eating that counts. Obesity is hormonal and not simply caloric. Jason Fung’s book, The Obesity Code, has upended the status quo that has kept Americans stuck in a never-ending cycle of weight gain and disease.

When their petty threats turn to brutal hazing, bleeding into every corner of her life, she realizes they are not acting alone. : Rites of Passage (9781483028194) by Joy N. no matter how much she wants him.Īs Sam struggles to prove herself, she discovers that some of the boys don't just want her gone-they won't rest until she gives up. But dating is strictly forbidden and Sam won't risk her future, or the dare, on something so trivial. What she's not expecting is her fiery attraction to her drill sergeant. She's even expecting the hostility she gets from some of the cadets who don't think girls belong there. As a military brat, she can handle an obstacle course just as well as the boys. She's expecting push-ups and long runs, rope climbing and mud crawling. So Sam joins the first-ever class of girls at the prestigious Denmark Military Academy. And she's not going to start with the last one her brother gave her before he died. Sam McKenna has never turned down a dare. While the book only uses one word throughout (Dude!), the way it is used makes for a delightfully hilarious romp. Aaron Reynolds and Dan Santat make for a thoroughly marvelous team. After reading it to several groups of kindergartners I can safely say that this is a winning book. Obviously, this is a perfect read aloud for sharing with youngsters, maybe before a trip to the beach. I suspect this picture book will singlehandedly be responsible for the return to popularity of that much-used word. I laughed all the way through, and young readers will too. The text is fun to read aloud, varying how the word "DUDE" is uttered, and the images are crisp, clean, and hold readers' attention. But all three end up being friends, sharing ice cream on the beach after using the shark's body as the world's biggest and best surf board. The facial expressions in the illustrations are hilarious with the platypus getting a load of bird waste on its head, and the beaver realizing that a great white shark is heading their way. Phrases such as "FAR OUT!" and "GNARLY" and yes, that ubiquitous "DUDE!" come to mind, of course, while watching their antics as they head out to catch the perfect wave. Relying on one word repeated throughout the story but in different typefaces and colors, this almost wordless picture book follows the surfing adventures of a beaver and a platypus. 3.5 for me because I liked it much more upon a second reading. There, a group of drunk men beat Junior up. Junior runs to his friend Rowdy, who attempts to cheer him up by suggesting they visit a local powwow. The only way to put Oscar out of his misery, then, is for Junior's father to shoot the poor creature. He is devastated when his pet dog, Oscar, becomes ill from heat stroke and his family does not have enough money for a veterinary visit. Junior's family is poor, Junior explains, and the worst thing about poverty is that he cannot do anything about it. In addition, his large skull, awkward lisp, and thick glasses have made him the victim of bullying from his tribe members - teenagers and adults alike. He was born with hydrocephalus (water in the brain), which has led to a number of health problems. Junior is a fourteen-year old boy living on the Spokane Indian Reservation in Washington.
