Yes, I realise that has probably jinxed the weather now for the foreseeable future, but this is a gorgeous novel of long, hot, summer days and will make the perfect beach read this year. Caught between the lifestyle she’s always known and the future she’s only just realized is possible, Mary Jane will arrive at September with a new idea about what she wants out of life, and what kind of person she’s going to be.Ī nostalgic trip into the 1970’s, MARY JANE is a timeless coming of age story about finding yourself, all wrapped up with lots of humour, a dash of teenage rebellion and plenty of rock and roll. ![]() Over the course of the summer, Mary Jane introduces her new household to crisply ironed clothes and a family dinner schedule and has a front-row seat to a liberal world of sex, drugs, and rock and roll (not to mention group therapy). A week after Mary Jane starts, the rock star and his movie star wife-Jimmy and Sheba-move in. And even more troublesome (were Mary Jane’s mother to know, which she does not): the doctor is a psychiatrist who has cleared his summer for one important job-helping a famous rock star dry out. ![]() The Cone house may look respectable on the outside, but inside it’s a literal and figurative mess: clutter on every surface, Impeachment: Now More Than Ever bumper stickers on the doors, cereal and takeaway for dinner. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The recently published first volume of her papers, "The Human Rights Years, 1945–48," with a foreword by Hillary Clinton, provides important clues. The fact that Eleanor kept this document for years is more revealing than the words themselves-did she believe she had qualities of leadership that were repressed, or thwarted by her position as First Lady? Despite all she achieved, and the esteemed place she holds in American history and affection, there's a central lingering question about her legacy: what would she have been capable of achieving on her own, without the constraints placed on her sex at the time, and without her marriage to Franklin Delano Roosevelt? This leads me to believe that many times you've had to cramp your style." The palmist wrote that the finger which showed leadership "is much bolder in your left hand, which shows inherent potentialities, than it is in your right hand which shows what actually happens. One particular analysis, in October 1939, tickled her so much that she kept it in the drawer of her desk, along with poems that inspired her.

He and his "filthy assistants" strive to keep their world from turning more dystopian than it already is while dealing with the struggles of fame and power, brought about due to the popularity of Spider via his articles. Spider Jerusalem dedicates himself to fighting the corruption and abuse of power of two successive United States presidents. Transmetropolitan chronicles the battles of Spider Jerusalem, infamous renegade gonzo journalist of the future. ![]() The series was originally part of the short-lived DC Comics imprint Helix, but upon the end of the book's first year the series was moved to the Vertigo imprint after DC Comics shut down their Helix imprint.

He takes his first serious stab at writing around this time, when his boss casually mentions that he’d like to see a Horatio Alger-esque tale concerning the telegraph company. He is swept into the system, and contemplates its crazed and inhumane logic (or lack thereof). He serves as a makeshift employment manager, hiring and firing at a rapid pace. He finally manages to secure a long-term stint at what he calls the “Cosmodemonic Telegraph Company of North America” (in all likelihood his bemused term for the Western Union Telegraph Company). ![]() The story proper, such as there is, begins with a young Miller working a series of dead-end day jobs. What will follow, he implies, is a series of loosely linked, ostensibly autobiographical musings or accounts. Miller opens the novel with a burst of philosophy, reflecting on life in general. ![]() ![]() I have not read Sally Rooney nor do I particularly care to in my current mindset. I think it was longlisted for some big book prize?

There’d been a lot of hype around this book. But, to be quite honest, Zauner’s and Ferrante’s works had much greater success in capturing my attention compared to Exciting Times. ![]() So while prepping for my vacation to Tennessee, I downloaded the audiobook and added it to my rotation of audiobooks for the week: Exciting Times, Crying in H Mart, and The Lying Life of Adults kept me intellectually fed the entire trip. ![]() I found this book through Libby, which, surprisingly considering how new it was, didn’t have a waitlist of people wanting to read it for themselves. ![]() |
