The mountain is you book brianna wiest5/22/2023 ![]() ![]() I won't recommend this book to people who go through self-sabotage tendencies. The rest was a little repetitive and more inspirational than resourceful. ![]() The first two parts were the most helpful to understand self-sabotage and learn about unhealthy patterns of behaviours. There's some parts of the book that felt empty as if the words were to fill the chapter instead of giving substance. I actually have a few pages with post-its on them. Overall, the tools and strategies she gave were fine. I believe she based most of her observations on experience, this is not to be diminished, but the book lacked scientific support. Some of it is from psycho-pop online articles and there's even one reference from a LinkedIn post. There's 24 references in total for her whole book and very few are scientific articles. I found that her facts were a little shaky and looking through her references, I could see why. She seems to have no education or training on psychology or therapy (I couldn't find anything on that). It didn't help that I saw this book glorified on TikTok because it set my expectations way too high.įrom what I've gathered online, Wiest is a writer and a poet. I figured I'd pick up this book to help with certain patterns and behaviours I've noticed through my professional experiences. I have a bachelor degree in psychology and i work with people living with eating disorders. ![]()

She and her husband Clem were on the last leg of a journey west. Martha (Marty) Claridge has just been widowed. We already have several copies on the shelves, so I decided to take this one home and see if the magic was still there. A few weeks ago someone donated a copy of it to our library. It seemed a lovely way to pass a Sunday afternoon. I found it crammed in the shelves next to my Grandma’s tattered Bible and her frayed, sunbleached copy of Crowning Glory Hymnal. I read this book over and over when I was oh, maybe 12 years old. A simple, sweet prairie story by a Canadian author, it nevertheless became a word-of-mouth bestseller, and the Christian fiction market has never been the same since. ![]() If Kathleen Woodiwiss’ The Flame and the Flower changed the romance fiction market forever in 1972, in 1979 Love Comes Softly did something of the same thing for the Christian romance market which had been stagnating since the death of Grace Livingston Hill in 1947. ![]() Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() Robopocalypse takes a common-enough idea: robots take over the world, and turns it into some new, fresh and exciting. ![]() and an entertaining and engaging thriller unlike anything else written in years. Robopocalypse is a brilliantly conceived action-filled epic, a terrifying story with heart-stopping implications for the real technology all around us. When the Robot War ignites-at a moment known later as Zero Hour-humankind will be both decimated and, possibly, for the first time in history, united. soldier who witnesses a "pacification unit" go haywire-but most are unaware of the growing rebellion until it is too late. In the months leading up to this, sporadic glitches are noticed by a handful of unconnected humans-a single mother disconcerted by her daughter's menacing "smart" toys, a lonely Japanese bachelor who is victimized by his domestic robot companion, an isolated U.S. ![]() Taking on the persona of a shy human boy, a childlike but massively powerful artificial intelligence known as Archos comes online and assumes control over the global network of machines that regulate everything from transportation to utilities, defense and communication. In the near future, at a moment no one will notice, all the dazzling technology that runs our world will unite and turn against us. ![]() Coraline the graphic novel neil gaiman5/21/2023 ![]() ![]()
Love and friendship summary jane austen5/21/2023 ![]() It is important to note that for ‘Love and Friendship’, the author seems to be referring to only romantic love for that half of the compare/contrast aspect since a more general idea of love would be connected to friendship. ![]() The holly is dark when the rose-briar bloomsīrontë begins this exploration of romance and comradery by giving the reader concrete images to establish the represented sensations behind each concept. Love and Friendship Analysis First Stanza ![]() Like those plants, she seems to argue, romance and friendship have different reactions as the seasons change, so much that only one will prevail when things become as harsh and unforgiving as the cold of “winter.” The one that survives, friendship, is stressed as the greater of the two concepts. ![]() ‘Love and Friendship’ by Emily Brontë is a three- stanza poem that functions as a compare/ contrast piece between “ love and friendship.” In order to explore both topics, Brontë portrays each of them as a different type of plant, and she explores how both plants react in different situations. ![]() Family by micol ostow5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() While the tale is atmospheric and has creepy moments, it does not have that smooth, eerie, descriptive vibe that is notoriously King. Amity by Micol Ostow is not a retelling of the original Amity house, but rather a book inspired by the events that occurred there. While the tagline boldly states for fans of Stephen King and American Horror Story, I am not entirely sure that it did Amity any favors. Alternating between parallel narratives, Amity is a tense and terrifying tale suggested by true-crime events that will satisfy even the most demanding horror fan. She will use Connor and Gwen to bring about a bloody end as she's done before. ![]() She is a living force, bent on manipulating her inhabitants to her twisted will. She knows Amity is evil and she must get her family out, but who would ever believe her? Amity isn't just a house. Gwen has lurid visions of corpses that aren't there and bleeding blisters that disappear in the blink of an eye. Connor's nights are plagued with gore-filled dreams of demons and destruction. But something is not right about this secluded house. Ten years later, Gwen's family moves to Amity for a fresh start after she's recovered from a psychotic break. For fans of Stephen King and American Horror Story, a gruesome thriller suggested by the events of the Amityville Horror.Connor's family moves to Amity to escape shady business deals. ![]() An enchantment of ravens book 25/21/2023 ![]() ![]() Now both of their lives are forfeit, unless Isobel can use her skill as an artist to fight the fairy courts. With Isobel and Rook depending on each other for survival, their alliance blossoms into trust, then love-and that love violates the fair folks’ ruthless laws. But something is seriously wrong in his world, and they are attacked from every side. ![]() She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes-a weakness that could cost him his life.įurious, Rook spirits her away to his kingdom to stand trial for her crime. ![]() But when she receives her first royal patron-Rook, the autumn prince-she makes a terrible mistake. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized. Isobel is an artistic prodigy with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. ![]() Love and math frenkel5/21/2023 ![]() ![]() He was not admitted to Moscow State University because of discrimination against Jews and enrolled instead in the applied mathematics program at the Gubkin University of Oil and Gas. ![]() As a high school student he studied higher mathematics privately with Evgeny Evgenievich Petrov, although his initial interest was in quantum physics rather than mathematics. His father is of Jewish descent and his mother is Russian. Biography Įdward Frenkel was born on May 2, 1968, in Kolomna, Russia, which was then part of the Soviet Union. He is a professor of mathematics at University of California, Berkeley, a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and author of the bestselling book Love and Math. ![]() Edward Vladimirovich Frenkel ( Russian: Эдуáрд Влади́мирович Фре́нкель born May 2, 1968) is a Russian-American mathematician working in representation theory, algebraic geometry, and mathematical physics. ![]() Graphic novel 300 frank miller5/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Everything that’s come since then was forged by these wars. Well, everything from the Persian Empire and the Greek Empire is a real study in how the course of the world - of civilizations and the power therein - could be changed so radically. What’s interesting to you about the Persian Empire? Yeah, that’s a lot to cover in just a few issues. The overarching theme of this is the rise and fall of the Persian Empire and the rise of Alexander. The piece I’m working on right now deals with his heir, Darius. The story goes beyond the life of Xerxes. So, people are a little confused about the title, since Alexander the Great wasn’t contemporaneous with Xerxes. It chronicles the travails of the titular figures but, as he told Vulture, not in the way you might expect. Following a successful film adaptation, a less-successful film sequel, and years of delays, Miller has returned to the world of 300 with a spinoff series called Xerxes: The Fall of the House of Darius and the Rise of Alexander. ![]() But the master of comic-book violence was never more forceful than in his 1998 historical graphic novel 300, which told the story of a group of Spartan warriors who held off the hordes of Persia in a suicide mission that altered the course of civilization. ![]() The writer and artist has had a truly remarkable career, having crafted one masterwork after another: Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil: Born Again, and Sin City, just to name a few. Comics icon Frank Miller could have retired in comfort and acclaim decades ago, but like the Spartans at Thermopylae, he refuses to give in. ![]() |
