![]() ![]() Juana swung around the mast to squint into the blue horizon, toward the thing that tugged on the boat like a net. It came to her that the boat wanted to go to Hispaniola as much as she did, but it couldn’t, something dragged it back. Swearing, Juana held onto the mast, the rough wood sun-warm against her hands. ![]() She pointed it away from the Mainland again and the boat spun out of the gust, splintered wood creaking and shredded sails flapping, blown back to the north as ungracefully as a discarded plastic bag. And you’d think witches would be born knowing how to sail boats on the wind toward the Caribbean but no, apparently not, and that was…that was bullshit, was what it was. You’d think flying would be the hard part, but no, it was steering. ![]() She had found the broken sailboat in the south wind and tried to pilot it to Hispaniola, but it wouldn’t go in the right direction. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() The book is the most thorough account yet of how Wonder Woman originated in a lifelong poly triad to promote William Moulton Marston's vision of utopian feminism and kinky free love - with help and role modeling from his wife Elizabeth Holloway and their partner Olive Byrne.

In 2003, Rolling Stone listed the compilation at #225 in its list of " Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time". In 1999, the compilation won two Grammy awards, for "Best Historical Album" and "Best Recording Package-Boxed". The New York Times hailed the release of the compilation, timed to coincide with what would have been Williams' 75th birthday, as "an important event," indicating "that it is impossible to understand contemporary country music, or popular music for that matter, without addressing Hank Williams's legacy". ![]() Among those 225 songs are 33 hit singles and 53 previously unreleased tracks. While a number of live and overdubbed songs are excluded, the ten disc collection contains 225 tracks, including studio sessions, live performances and demos. The Complete Hank Williams is a 1998 box set collecting almost all of the recorded works of country music legend Hank Williams, from his first recorded track in 1947 to the last session prior to his untimely death in 1953 at the age of 29. Colin Escott, Kira Florita, Fred Rose, Kyle Young ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The dilapidated house is also home to her ailing and cantankerous Greek father-in-law and her two grown children: her stubborn, free-spirited daughter, Tig, and her dutiful debt-ridden, ivy educated son, Zeke, who has arrived with his unplanned baby in the wake of a life-shattering development. The magazine where she worked has folded, and the college where her husband had tenure has closed. Which is why it’s so unnerving that she’s arrived at middle age with nothing to show for her hard work and dedication but a stack of unpaid bills and an inherited brick home in Vineland, New Jersey, that is literally falling apart. Willa Knox has always prided herself on being the embodiment of responsibility for her family. ![]() The New York Times best-selling author of Flight Behavior, The Lacuna, and The Poisonwood Bible and recipient of numerous literary awards - including the National Humanities Medal, the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, and the Orange Prize - returns with a timely novel that interweaves past and present to explore the human capacity for resiliency and compassion in times of great upheaval. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The real shock came a month later, when the BBC's website carried a story announcing that the family who now owned the hare had heard The Grand Masquerade at their home in Egypt. ![]() I followed all this with some amusement, happy to see that our little baby was still spreading its ripples in the media pond. The Independent picked up on this next day (“Author calls for owner of jeweled amulet that bewitched the nation to come forward”), and that started it bouncing round the internet again. “ Masquerade author appeals for hare,” it headlined the story. Five days later, a news website called This Is Gloucestershire repeated Barker's words, but mis-attributed them to Williams himself. Our programme, titled The Grand Masquerade, went out on July 11, 2009, closing with an appeal from Mike Barker asking whoever now owned the hare to release it for an exhibition of some kind. “I was always worried it would come to the surface again and disturb what I was doing. “Whenever in the past any mention of it came on, in a quiz game on television or something like that, it would spawn lots of letters and so on,” he explained. But it had seemed churlish to speak to the television crew while turning us down, and now he was glad he'd changed his mind. ![]() Speaking on the later BBC Four documentary, Williams explained that he'd decided to do their own programme because it promised to concentrate as much on his recent work as on Masquerade itself. ![]() ![]() Order may come in multiple shipments, however you will only be charged a flat fee.Ģ-10 days after all items have arrived in the warehouse Items in order will be sent as soon as they arrive in the warehouse.

If that's what you're looking for, you'll be disappointed (and the author kinda says that in the introductory chapter). It's not a traditional "parenting" book that tries to tell you how to raise your kids or tackle certain topics. This book was an interesting combination of research, true/real-life experiences of parents, and parenting help. The book also talks about basic parenting techniques for discipline, tips on how to manage home life and work, and then also discusses stuff like Postpartum Depression. The author tells her own story, but also combines it with the experiences of other parents. It discusses the different problems that moms face when having to go back to work, like breastfeeding in the workplace and having to find a daycare. ![]() So this book was all about being a parent when you have to work. ![]() ![]() ![]() But they had a much greater chance of dying than ground soldiers. Unlike infantrymen, bomber boys slept on clean sheets, drank beer in local pubs, and danced to the swing music of Glenn Miller’s Air Force band, which toured US air bases in England. Air combat was deadly but intermittent: periods of inactivity and anxiety were followed by short bursts of fire and fear. With the narrative power of fiction, Donald Miller takes you on a harrowing ride through the fire-filled skies over Berlin, Hanover, and Dresden and describes the terrible cost of bombing for the German people.įighting at 25,000 feet in thin, freezing air that no warriors had ever encountered before, bomber crews battled new kinds of assaults on body and mind. ![]() Masters of the Air is the deeply personal story of the American bomber boys in World War II who brought the war to Hitler’s doorstep. The riveting history of the American Eighth Air Force in World War Two, the story of the young men who flew the bombers that helped bring Nazi Germany to its knees, brilliantly told by historian Donald Miller and soon to be a major HBO series. ![]() ![]() Usual, perhaps, for Mary Roberts Rinehart, if not for everyone of that generation. When Marcia’s mother died, she left behind a house in New York, the summer place, and a modest trust fund-“the usual assets of her generation.” Things were a little different for that clan than for most of us. The family fortune may have been largely gone, but the servants remained, though only four were still employed, down from the ten who had looked after the family in its halcyon days. The slow, easy days are devoted to swimming, reading, horseback riding, golf, walks, boating-the activities varying mainly according to the season. ![]() The family had lived in the sprawling, ten-bedroom house for generations but the Great Depression had wiped out much of its wealth, so its only full-time occupant was the lovely, twenty-nine-year-old woman who owned half with her brother, who had moved away. ![]() ![]() The story takes place in a large seaside house in a New England town that is a summertime destination for the well to-do, if not the rich, who flocked to Newport, Rhode Island, in those days. If ever a novel could evoke a simpler, gentler time, it is Mary Roberts Rinehart’s The Wall, written at the peak of her powers and success in 1938. ![]() |
