In the blood suzan lori parks summary6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Hester’s manic children are not distressed by the falling trash they are delighted with it! Bits and pieces of waste make up their clothes, their toys and even their meager income of discarded soda cans. Although it has been nearly two decades since the debut of In the Blood, the play has lost none of its relevance or bite. Their vocal barbs assume the form of physical waste, which descends noisily from a garbage chute onto Hester’s home, an abandoned lower ramp beneath a bridge. Their insults rain down upon Hester and her child with no sign of waning, and in fact this relentless toxicity never truly abates. This is Suzan Lori-Parks, and the "A" stands for her annihilation of apathy.Ĭruelty and disdain drip from a modern Greek chorus as they surround and condemn Hester (Saycon Sengbloh), a young homeless woman delicately caring for her newborn babe.

What I loved most about this novella was the pacing. Of course, the one night stand doesn't last long as the two begin to grow feelings for each other. What ensues is a world wind adventure of spending weekends together fulfilling their physical desires. Set had a bad reputation in the past so she's initially hesitant about interacting with him, but the two find that they have a lot in common. The two reunite at a high school reunion when Kareema is left solo by a close friend. Set has such an interesting premise where readers follow Set and Kareema. I'm sad that I waited so long to start this book especially since I've read and love a good portion of what Alexandria House has done with her other books. Damn, damn, damn! Why ya'll aint tell me this book was this sexy?!? I was listening to the audiobook while working and silently praying that no one could hear what was coming out of my headphones. ![]() Vortex visions6/28/2023 ![]() Powers that might well cost her the throne.Īs Vi fights to get her magic under control, a mysterious stranger appears from across the world.

When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I survived at all. ![]() Yes, the barn at right is about to fall down. Two years later Angela’s Ashes by Frank McCourt (1930-2009) won the Pulitzer Prize. It was 1994 and I thought I’d caught a glimpse of Ireland’s romantic past. We were archaeologists “roughing it” to dig for knowledge. I broke out in hives from the limited diet, so we borrowed a wobbly bike and took turns riding to town for supplies. Eggs could be had from the local post office and a nearby farmer brought us milk from his cows. We had to walk six miles to buy groceries, so dinner was usually an omelet. On the weekend, my housemate and I heated water in the tea kettle and washed our hair on the stoop, one lathering while the other poured. In the morning, I ate porridge left on the stove for days. ![]() ![]() ![]() I unrolled a sleeping bag on top.Īt night, I listened to rain and wind and things that skittered across the roof and hoped they were leaves or loose shingles. My bed frame had collapsed, but the mattress was firm enough for the floor. I spent one summer in a derelict farmhouse in Co. I refused to settle for a one-act existence. ![]() La cousine bette book6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie Preferences, as described in the Cookie Notice.

Only one will survive.īryan Hill’s latest take on the Aphrodite Project, a Top Cow Productions creation tied to the likes of Cyber Force and, at times, other mystical beings like the Witchblade, takes a decidedly modern bent to the entire structure, seemingly limiting at least some of the far future technologies to start with. She is the bleeding edge of biomechanics, and L.A.’s best hope against a new enemy-one that seeks to become a god among machines. Enter Aphrodite V: a fugitive from her masters, seeking individuality and purpose. In the near future, Los Angeles is a city on the brink of evolution, struggling with a new wave of terror fueled by black-market technology. ![]() Romeo and/or Juliet by Ryan North6/27/2023 ![]() Romeo has +1 perk for his excellent elocution, but a -1 weakness in the moderation and foresight categories. Juliet, for example, has a “+2 perk” because of her muscles (oh yeah, Juliet is totally ripped and three of her top six interests include muscles), but a -2 weakness for hot boys. Readers choose whether to play as Romeo or Juliet, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. Romeo and/or Juliet (Riverhead Books, 2016) takes the classic love story and makes into a Choose-Your-Own Adventure Gamebook. ![]() I’ve seen every adaption and for a long time thought literally nothing could make this play more exciting. Hannah Haney: I have read Romeo and Juliet so many times, I can practically recite it. ![]() She is also the Managing Editor of Relief Journal. When not reading through submissions and making insightful comments, Hannah likes to read good books, eat good food, and write bad poetry. ![]() This latest “What We’re Reading” post comes from volunteer Hannah Haney, a first-year masters student in Literary and Cultural Studies here at UC. ![]() |
