![]() ![]() Most Likely is her debut novel, but it shares the same focus on female friendship, advocacy, and fun that made The Bold Type-her hit TV show-a fan favorite. I am convinced that Sarah Watson brings the same warm energy to each of her projects, and I eagerly await the next one. This is the story of four best friends who have one another's backs through every new love, breakup, stumble, and success-proving that great friendships can help young women achieve anything. And don't overlook Martha, who will have to overcome all the obstacles that stand in the way of her dreams. Is it Ava, the picture-perfect artist who's secretly struggling to figure out where she belongs? Or could it be CJ, the one who's got everything figured out.except how to fix her terrible SAT scores? Maybe it's Jordan, the group's resident journalist, who knows she's ready for more than their small Ohio suburb can offer. ![]() The mystery, of course, is which girl gets the gig. One of these girls is destined to become the president of the United States. But there's more than just college on the horizon. Now they're in their senior year, facing their biggest fears about growing up and growing apart. ![]() Thank you to Little, Brown and my local public library for sharing a copy in exchange for my honest review.Īva, CJ, Jordan, and Martha (listed in alphabetical order out of fairness) have been friends since kindergarten. ![]()

Is this what God really requires? How could God's plan for divine inspiration mean ignoring what is really written in the Bible? These questions eventually cost Enns his job-but they also opened a new spiritual path for him to follow. ![]() ![]() Rejecting the increasingly complicated intellectual games used by conservative Christians to "protect" the Bible, Enns was conflicted. But the further he studied the Bible, the more he found himself confronted by questions that could neither be answered within the rigid framework of his religious instruction or accepted among the conservative evangelical community.

The book takes place at the collision of those two fantasies. Thirty-four year-old Omar wrote American War and then thirty-six-year-old Omar was out publicizing American War, and those are two different human beings and the same thing is happening with What Strange Paradise. I wanted to take a comforting story that Westerners have been telling their kids for the last hundred years, and I wanted to invert it, to tell a different kind of story.” He continues: “At its core, it’s a book about dueling fantasies: the fantasies of people who want to come to the West because they think it’s a cure for all ills, and the fantasies of people who exist in the West and think of those people as barbarians at the gate. “There’s this thing Borges once said about how all literature is tricks, and no matter how clever your tricks are, they eventually get discovered,” El Akkad says.

Like the prospect of a supercomputer torturing humans for fun or the idea of a global apocalypse, this image is unsettling in the original short story. ![]() While horror anthology shows like Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities have attempted to bring Lovecraft's monsters to life on-screen, Ellison's ending for I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream only seems like a gruesome predicament because the reader can't see it realized. The sentient supercomputer that kept him and four over humans alive is frustrated when the other humans kill themselves and each other out of frustration, so the machine spends years softening the main character until he can’t hurt himself, hurt anyone else, move, or do anything else. Ellison’s story works best in book form because the main character’s eventual fate could look unintentionally comical if realized on screen. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Vast, rich, fertile, and unstable, it offered a potential power base for rival claimants to the throne. This was the only province of the Roman Empire to which such travel restrictions applied. Germanicus’ trip, however, did not go down well with his adoptive father, the reigning emperor Tiberius, since the young man had broken the rules by going to Egypt without the emperor’s express permission. In fact, Germanicus took an antiquarian cruise up the Nile, visiting the “vast ruins of Thebes” and the Valley of the Kings, just as his great- grandfather Julius Caesar had done in the company of Cleopatra herself in 47 BC. But the real reason, Tacitus insists, was sight-seeing-for the monuments of the Egyptian pharaohs, already thousands of years old in 19 AD, were almost as much an attraction to Roman visitors as they are to modern tourists. ![]() According to the historian Tacitus, the ostensible purpose of this imperial visit was to relieve the famine then afflicting the country (which he did by simply opening up some granaries where grain was stored). In 19 AD, almost fifty years after the death of Cleopatra, the Roman prince Germanicus paid a visit to Alexandria, the city that had once been the capital of her kingdom, and was now the administrative center of the Roman province of Egypt.

Girgus as the first teacher to truly believe in her, and as an educator who helped sculpt her into who she is today. Helping her find her stride was her advisor, Scottie Girgus, who after recognizing Victoria’s love for writing, connected her with “Hallmarks” and helped her find an outlet for her creativity.
