5/11/2023 0 Comments Good Fight by Christian Simamora![]() All in all, I think it has the potential to last as long as The Good Wife, It surely has a strong female cast, all heroines in their own right, which I would expect nothing less from the network I saw it on. ![]() I will say it did encourage me to watch it further, as to my recollection, beefing up the language and not bleeping it out, has never been done before. Good fight by Christian Simamora ( Book ) 1 edition published in 2012 in Indonesian and held by 6 WorldCat member libraries worldwide Pillow talk : setiap hati punya rahasia by Christian Simamora. While I admit it seems a little odd not to have the great Julianna Margulies in the follow up series, the use of profanity caught me off guard coming from The Women's Network, which is where I watched the episodes. IE - Hon Judge Abernathy aka Russel Edgington from True Blood in the 2nd episode. ![]() The Good Fight is a breath of fresh air, bringing in the supporting cast of the original in the 1st episode with cameo appearances from actors that had minor recurring roles in The Good wife. ![]() Digenggamnya jemarimu, tetapi tidak cukup mesra. Dibawakannya kau bunga, tetapi bukan kesukaanmu. In general, (in my opinion) I find them to be lackluster and solely rely on one character from the original series. Good Fight - Oleh: Christian Simamora - Dia tak benar-benar mencintaimu, kau dan aku sama-sama tahu itu. ![]() It was a pleasant surprise to see a spin off of The Good Wife. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Nevernight goodreads![]() ![]() In Book 1, Nevernight, we follow Mia in a unique dual-ish timeline as she apprentices to become an assassin. This was one of the most unique series I have ever had the pleasure of reading! That’s juuust the subplot so be ready to have your mind blown. Sounds pretty basic and straight forward right? WELL, IT’S NOT. The basic storyline: An orphaned girl who can convene with and manipulate shadows in a world where there are no nights attends a school for assassins to avenge her family’s death. ![]() than it appears! So let’s review The Nevernight Chronicle. It’s savage and fierce but filled with humor, love, light, and hope. There’s shadow magic, assassins, mythical gods, romance, swords, and pools of blood (literally). This story is dark and mysterious, epic and unpredictable, smutty and snarky. I didn’t know anything about Jay Kristoff at the time either but quickly became a fan - like within the first few chapters of Nevernight alone. I went into it almost totally blind - all I knew was that I loved the cover and that Mia was an assassin. Goodreads kept recommending the first book, Nevernight, to me as something they’d thought I’d like based on my other reads and they were NOT wrong!! I love this series so much. At the time, I hadn’t really seen this series anywhere on Bookstagram and my community at the time didn’t seem to be reading it either. I stumbled upon this series shortly after I joined Bookstagram and (finally) Goodreads in 2020. ![]() ![]() It is not about the next big thing, the newest fresh face, or fashionable favorite (though that often happens, too), but of conveying the feeling of knowing someone, and of being known. There is an undeniable personal nature to Lindbergh’s photography-his focus on the eyes of his subjects, on their energy, the way in which women blossom under his lens-that reaches for a kind of beauty that exists beyond the surface. Nobody can look like that when they’re 25 years old.” This is one of the last pictures we did together, and look how she looks. ![]() "And that word already, people say, you know, ‘Oh, Peter, she’s not a grandmother, don’t say that,’ but I mean, grandmother is nothing bad. That’s a picture of a grandmother,” Lindbergh says, and the actress used the photograph for the promotional materials for her 2011 documentary self-portrait The Look, in which Lindbergh played a prominent role. " turned from the most breathtaking young beauty into kind of a grandmother, really. It’s so ridiculous to say that?” It is not a traditionally commercial, airbrushed, poreless veneer that attracts him, not by a long shot. “Probably ‘different,’ no? You cannot say that one woman is ‘more beautiful’ than another, though people always do. You cannot imagine anybody more beautiful-" Here, the photographer stops himself. “I’ve been shooting her for nearly 38 years, maybe,” Lindbergh says of Rampling, “and all of the adjectives that I would use to describe her are really unbelievable. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Burke supported the American Revolution and the quest for liberties it entailed, without the destruction of fundamental government institutions, but he believed the French Revolution to be "one of the greatest calamities which has ever fallen upon mankind."

Many women - artistic women in particular - have discovered that they share this intense ambivalence, part warm and fuzzy nostalgia, part chilling discomfort, about "The Lonely Doll," first published in 1957. "Yet there's something about the images that haunted me, something so compelling." "I wanted to share it with her, but I found it too depressing," she said. Gordon said, "I was struck by how creepy it is." Gordon, whose husband and fellow band member, Thurston Moore, found one of the books, and, curious about it, took it home. She rediscovered a favorite series of childhood books, "The Lonely Doll," and thought about reading them to her 7-year-old daughter, Coco. ![]() But a few years ago she had an experience many women her age could relate to. ![]() YOU might think that Kim Gordon, the bass player and singer of the eternally hip downtown band Sonic Youth, would not have much in common with mothers of a more conventional stripe. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Burke reflections![]() ![]() ![]() I hope that it has been done upon the original & not from the French’: see Dupont to Burke, 21 Feb. 1791, the Parisian bookseller Pierre-Gaëton Dupont mentioned en passant, ‘you know, I suppose, that a German translation has been published. In Gentz's translation, Burke thus appeared as a champion, not a critic, of Enlightenment.ĥ Stahel, Joseph, Bemerkungen über die französische Revolution und das Betragen einiger Gesellschaften in London bei diesen Ereignissen: Aus dem Englischen nach der vierten Ausgabe übersetzt ( Vienna, 1791) Google Scholar. ![]() ![]() Through his selective translation, numerous in-text annotations, and six long interpretive essays, Gentz pressed Burke's Reflections into a Kantian epistemological paradigm – carving out a space for a priori right in the logic of the text, and demoting traditional knowledge from a normative to a prudential role. Although Burke saw rationalism and revolution as natural allies, Gentz – a student of Immanuel Kant – used the Reflections to articulate a conservative form of rationalism that, he believed, could stand up to the philosophes' radicalism. This causal thesis, however, ignored the extent to which the Reflections' German translator, Friedrich Gentz (1764–1832), altered the meaning of the text to suit his own philosophical agenda. In his influential work on German Romanticism, Isaiah Berlin suggested that Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France (1790) catalysed the growth of the nineteenth-century counter-Enlightenment. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Forever and a Day by Jill Shalvis![]() ![]() I have read most of her books and what I haven’t read I have them on my shelves in my to-be-read stacks. She is my top top top top romance author that I read (Did I say top). I squeal with delight and do a little happy dance in place. Like every time I receive an email from Harper Collins that asks me to review the newest Jill Shalvis book. **A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review** ![]() Maze and Cat must decide if they can rebuild their friendship, and Maze discovers her long-held attraction to Walker hasn’t faded with the years but has only grown stronger. Life has changed all four of them in immeasurable ways. Unexpectedly, they instantly fall back into their roles: Maze their reckless leader, Cat the den mother, Heather the beloved baby sister, and Walker, a man of mystery. ![]() Now as adults together again in the lake house, there are secrets and resentments mixed up in all the amazing childhood memories. When Maze returns to Wildstone for the wedding of her estranged bff and the sister of her heart, it’s also a reunion of a once ragtag team of teenagers who had only each other until a tragedy tore them apart and scattered them wide. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments The vegetarian korean book![]() This compact, exquisite and disturbing book will linger long in the minds, and maybe the dreams, of its readers," Tonkin added. ![]() "In a style both lyrical and lacerating, it reveals the impact of this great refusal both on the heroine herself and on those around her. The story follows a very important part of Korean history in the 1980s when a violent uprising occurred in Gwangju. If you’re looking for great Korean books translated into English, then this is it. Told in three voices, from three different perspectives, the concise, unsettling and beautifully composed novel traces an ordinary woman's rejection of all the conventions and assumptions that bind her to her home, family and society, Tonkin said. From the internationally best seller of The Vegetarian, comes the novel, Human Acts by Han Kang. ![]() It is sensual, provocative and violent, ripe with potent images, startling colours and disturbing questions, the daily said. "Across the three parts, we are pressed up against a society's most inflexible structures - expectations of behaviour, the workings of institutions - and we watch them fail one by one.It's a bracing, visceral, system-shocking addition to the Anglophone reader's diet," 'The Guardian' said. This subversive act fractures her familial life and affects her relationships with the people around her, including her sister and her brother-in-law, an artist who becomes obsessed with her. ![]() The Vegetarian is a three-part novel that follows the story of Yeong-hye, a dutiful Korean wife who, spurred on by a dream, decides one day to become a vegetarian, something that is extremely uncommon in South Korean society. ![]() |
