Magic Elizabeth by Norma Kassirer7/6/2023 ![]() My love of writing came shortly after I started reading.I don't know where I'd be if I hadn't picked up my first book. I've managed to go all over the world and experience different eras. I manage to read at least one book a week, multiple when I'm on Wattpad. Unfortunately, now that I'm older I'm unable to spend a lot of time reading. ![]() I would have them returned within a week. ![]() I used to go to the library every Saturday and check out seven to ten books. I can read about ninety-five pages in an hour. I soon realized that I could read faster than most people. After that, you could rarely find me without a book. Magic Elizabeth by Norma Kassirer and that book literally changed my life. I still have my first chapter book that I read without being told. ![]() I actually picked up a book to read for fun. Once we stopped doing the assigned reading near the end of third grade. From first to third grade we were assigned twenty minutes of reading every night.Half the time I didn't do it.

Dalit Studies are a rare glimpse that very few talk about it and dare enough to write. This is due to an "intimidate syndrome" a natural outcome that a Dalit is always surrounded by. In general, a Dalit tries not to divulge his identity as Dalit in the midst of "others", but expresses his anger in clandestine space. His autobiography emphasizes the significance of literature by endowing the platform in spreading the knowledge about Dalit lives and their individual experience in this civil society. ![]() ![]() Being human one must have autonomy, deference and sanctuary but for Valmiki, it stood as a threat in the midst of the dominant elements of society. ![]() Today his voice has been well recognized, and it stands as a robust right for his society He describes "his" experience as a Dalit, and the twinge that he underwent throughout his lifetime. He took Dalit literature in his hand as a gizmo to carry out his anguish as a communal trauma of his community. "Joothan: A Dalit's Life" is respectively chosen for the research as it brings out the malicious veracity of Dalit's life in an authentic way. The major focus of this piece of writing is to bring to the light the voice of an empowered writer Omprakash Valmiki. ![]() Doctor Who by Una McCormack7/5/2023 ![]() A dead world… No, there is a biodome, rising from the ash. Read at your own risk.)ĭoctor Who: All Flesh is Grass by Una McCormackĪ wasteland. I wouldn’t consider any of them to be major ones, but your mileage may vary. (NOTE: There will be some spoilers for the book within. However, it also maintains all of the flaws of the first book and wastes the intriguing premise set up in that novel by devolving into another Doctor vs Dalek story. ![]() And it sort of does-it deftly ties together the seemingly disparate elements of the story into an explosive conclusion. So, I hoped that this second (and final) novel, the conclusion of the storyline, All Flesh is Grass, would tick those boxes. I really want to enjoy Time Lord Victorious-I like a lot of the ideas and many of the stories are solid on their own, but the whole event hasn’t felt like it was coalescing into anything yet. But those parts of Time Lord Victorious that I have consumed have left me conflicted. And, as of this review, I haven’t listened to any of the Big Finish audios, so I can’t speak on them. The two comics were well-written and illustrated but short and seemingly-disconnected from the larger story. The first novel, The Knight, The Fool, and The Dead, set up a solid premise but didn’t explore any of its ideas with the depth needed to make them memorable. ![]() So far, the Time Lord Victorious event has been a bit of a mixed bag. ![]() Book punjabi widows7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The widows delight in telling titillating tales of illicit sexual encounters despite the danger of discovery by the Brothers, the self-appointed morality police. Instead of teaching a creative writing course, or even an introductory English literacy course, Nikki finds herself facilitating an erotic storytelling workshop. So Nikki begins teaching a group of Punjabi widows, who quickly hijack her lesson plans. Although disinclined to hire a young, modern woman, Kulwinder Kaur, Community Development Director of the Sikh Community Association, has had no other applicants. While posting the profile, though, Nikki notices an advertisement for a writing instructor. ![]() So Mindi’s desire for a traditional arranged marriage bewilders Nikki, particularly since Mindi has a successful career as a nurse and doesn't need anyone else to support her. She’s also taken several lovers, none of whom she ever intended to marry. Nikki has pretty much disgraced herself and her family-British, Punjabi, Sikh-several times over: in addition to dropping out of law school, she’s moved out of the family home and into her own flat above O’Reilly’s pub, where she tends bar. ![]() But Nikki may be the sister whose life changes. Appalled that her sister, Mindi, would even consider an arranged marriage, Nikki Grewal reluctantly pins Mindi’s dating profile to their Sikh temple’s marriage board. ![]() Hild novel7/5/2023 ![]() The stakes are life and death: for Hild, for her family, for her loved ones, and for the increasing numbers who seek the protection of the strange girl who can read the world and see the future. And she is indispensable-unless she should ever lead the king astray. ![]() ![]() Hild establishes a place for herself at his side as the king's seer. Her uncle, Edwin of Northumbria, plots to become overking of the Angles, ruthlessly using every tool at his disposal: blood, bribery, belief. She will become a fascinating woman and one of the pivotal figures of the Middle Ages: Saint Hilda of Whitby.īut now she has only the powerful curiosity of a bright child, a will of adamant, and a way of seeing the world-of studying nature, of matching cause with effect, of observing her surroundings closely and predicting what will happen next-that can seem uncanny, even supernatural, to those around her. Hild is the king's youngest niece, and she has a glimmering mind and a natural, noble authority. A new religion is coming ashore the old gods are struggling, their priests worrying. In seventh-century Britain, small kingdoms are merging, frequently and violently. A brilliant, lush, sweeping historical novel about the rise of one of the most powerful woman of the Middle Ages: Hild ![]() Passion and purity book7/5/2023 ![]() In a culture obsessed with dating, sex, and intimacy, the need for Elliot’s freeing message is greater than ever.
