It is only when we are able to see others as they are, be heard as we are, WE together are able to heal what is torn between us. A number of open wounds that are still sore and bleeding. Without solutions.Įven though Chimamanda speaks specifically on gender, there is a lot of areas we as a society need to heal. They want to be seen as they are without judgement. 'This type of question is a way of silencing a person's specific experiences.' Everyone everywhere wants to be heard. ![]() One of the discussions Chimamanda shared in the book was with a man who said, 'Why does it have to be you as a woman? Why not you as a human being?' Her response was brilliant and to the point. It brought me back to my graduate school days and learning with Leticia Nieto (Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment: A Developmental Strategy to Liberate Everyone).

This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.

Books by Lily Mayne Soul Eater Edin: M/M Fantasy Romance (Monstrous) The Rycke (Monstrous) Wyn (Monstrous) Gloam: Gay Monster Romance (Monstrous) Moth: MM. cc./cache.aspxd4883390942435246&w1pZC2Y3rlEWstc6TR8X8-eZtFlzcBg0D Moth and the Soul Eater Have a Bonding Experience. I liked how the book showed Kane and his feelings and his life story, and what brought him where he is in life and why he did what he did. I love reading books about characters being redeemed and I just loved how the redemption was done in this book. In Step is about Kane, who wasn’t a very nice character in the previous books in the series and the book is all about his redemption and him finding love. This book is one of those that I think will always stay with me, I just cannot stop thinking about this one. This book was everything I have ever wanted in a book and I adored every second of this book. It’s not a secret that I think that Jay Hogan can do no wrong, I have read most of her books and I have loved each and every one of them, but this book was perfect to me. ![]() In Step is book 3 in a series and I think it would be better read in order, it really makes the reading experience that much better. ![]() ![]() The setting has a lot of potential, and I can't wait to see more of it. And Violet begins to understand, her edges becoming much sharper. ![]() It's not the smartest thing, but Lady Luck smiles down on her. ![]() It's a brutal setting, but Violet is reckless enough to shake apart the establishment and draw too much attention to herself. (In fact, she's more of a prized breeding cow than an actual slave.) She is thrown into a whole new world of politics and backstabbing, and one wrong move can have her poisoned to death. She doesn't have anywhere to go, and she is almost a slave to the rich and wealthy. Violet is a young woman who is stuck in her horrible situation. But thankfully, those times come very rarely and the author is quick to smooth out any wrinkles. The down is that the reader isn't fully aware of the world and that when a new detail is discovered (or announced), there's a huge question mark. The up is that the reader knows what's going on through the inner thoughts of Violet (or the dialogue of another character). It weaves its explanations with its plot, and it doesn't feel like a rough roller coaster. THE JEWEL starts off its world building slowly. It sits on the shelf, and I have thought about reading this book for the last year or so, but I'm fully aware that there's a sequel, so I waited. ![]() ![]() I have been passing by this book in the library every time I go there. ![]() ![]() Benson’s stories followed a particularly brilliant era for the traditional English ghost story, an era that may be said to commence with Henry James’ ‘The Turn of the Screw’ in 1898 and which encompassed some of the best writing in this tradition notably, M R James’ 'Ghost Stories of an Antiquary' 1904), Algernon Blackwood’s 'The Empty House' (1906), and Oliver Onions’ 'Widdershins' (1911). In Benson’s lifetime four volumes of his ghost stories were published, the earliest 'The Room in the Tower' in 1912, the last 'More Spook Stories' in 1934. ![]() The ladies having long retired to bed, no detail, however horrific, need be omitted - standard preamble to many a fictional ghost story and a setting instantly familiar to many of the protagonists in the ghost stories of E F Benson and, of course, to their author. Inevitably, the conversation turns to ghost stories and again inevitably, at least one of the party will have a story to tell.
