![]() ![]() ✨ Not gonna lie to you: I went into this with really low expectations. All to fulfill my dream of becoming a K-pop star. The constant feeling of never quite belonging somewhere you desperately want to be. All the training, the lost weekends, the family sacrifices. Is it worth it? That’s a question I ask myself every day. ![]() If these are things that are triggering or uncomfortable for you, I would suggest passing on Shine. I understand wanting to realistically represent the toxicity of the K-pop industry, but this wasn’t something the book critiqued nearly enough (if it all). I don’t condone fatphobia, and there is a not-insignificant amount of body-shaming and calorie-counting in this book that made me really uncomfortable. ![]() Not to mention ALL THE TORONTO REFERENCES □□□be still my Canadiana heart!īefore I go any further, though, I want to say that parts of this book are definitely problematic. Tropes galore and angst that could put a K-drama to shame: I devoured this book in a single day and honestly had fun with it. ![]()

![]() ![]() Our human experiences are what bind us together. ![]() Sometimes, we grow so distant from our past that it becomes more and more difficult for us to relate to the future. ![]() But it’s important for us (not-so-young) adults to remember and reflect on that time period in our lives, so that we understand and acknowledge that there are teens going through this today, and teens that will go through this tomorrow. I’m sure that for some of us, it’ll bring back painful memories of high school that we don’t care to relive again. It delves deeply into important coming-of-age issues such as love, religion, family, friendship, depression, bullying, and discrimination. Her Name in the Sky is the perfect illustration of truth in fiction. As with any review, I can only draw from my own personal reading experience and hope that my words won’t diminish its value. It’s difficult for me to write a review that does this literary work any justice because it’s extraordinary. this book did come highly recommended, so I decided to give it a shot. My past experience with religion was an unpleasant one, and I steered clear of most literature that made any reference to Catholicism/Christianity. I was initially very hesitant to read this novel. ![]() ![]() OL28590496W Page_number_confidence 94.16 Pages 310 Partner Innodata Pdf_module_version 0.0.18 Ppi 360 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20220721111546 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 159 Scandate 20220719123315 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 9788807883828 Tts_version 5. ![]() Urn:lcp:ilgattopardo0000toma:lcpdf:c8305294-c01b-45c1-9bac-8f7dadb55d84 Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa Il Gattopardo Feltrinelli Le Comete 2002 > Digitalizzazione a cura di Yorikarus < 2 PREMESSA È noto che Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa non poté licenziare per le stampe le proprie opere.

She wrote some of the most hard-to-read and some of the most beautiful-to-see words ever written. Author Kennedy Ryan kicked butt and took names in this novel. ![]() A gut-wrenching, soul-piercing, heart-shattering, ugly-cry masterpiece. I can’t do that for this novel, because it will not do it justice.

COMPTON CROOK AWARD FOR BEST FIRST NOVEL. ![]() ![]() ![]() Second, its conception and scope of space and time are too wide. ![]() First, historical conception of this study is wider and deeper than other Malay historical texts.

The British Empire ran for centuries and covered vast swathes of the world. And yet empire is a subject, weirdly hidden from view. In prose that is, at once, both clear-eyed and full of acerbic wit, Sanghera shows how our past is everywhere: from how we live to how we think, from the foundation of the NHS to the nature of our racism, from our distrust of intellectuals in public life to the exceptionalism that imbued the campaign for Brexit and the government's early response to the Covid crisis. In his brilliantly illuminating new book Sathnam Sanghera demonstrates how so much of what we consider to be modern Britain is actually rooted in our imperial past. ![]() |
