![]() ![]() ![]() She chooses positivity, even removing the "crab" part of her last name for her zine. Whereas John sends his time moping and building up walls, Diana responds to tragedy by seizing the day. Interestingly, Diana's the most positive person in the entire book-as well as the person who's been through the darkest stuff, too. She knows there's no point in dwelling on the past, since you can't change it, and getting angry at the world because her mom died won't bring her mom back. If you have no regrets, you stop wishing you could rearrange your past, and you start looking forward to whatever is up ahead." (7.69) And I always look to the future with hope. I do look back with sadness sometimes, but just as often I remember the happy times I had with my mother. ![]() "So when I say "no regrets" I mean there's no reason to look back, wishing you could change things. Nope-her mom died when she was a kid, and she's not naïve when it comes to mistakes-and yet she's still positive. For a person who calls her zine No Regrets, you'd think Diana hadn't made any mistakes in life. ![]()

This is a book which touches powerfully and deeply, a book to be slowly savored, page by page. NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEWĪ sensuous feast of delight, incessantly pleasurable to read, the writing, like the reef itself, shimmers with constant surprises. Gunesekra is a master storyteller, writes about them with great affection, casting a spell of nostalgia, with his lyrical prose. This powerful novel is peopled with colorful, memorable characters. Triton learns to polish silver to mix a love cake with ten eggs and to steam the exotic parrot fish for his master's lover. ![]() It is told by Triton, who at the age of eleven goes to work as a houseboy to Mister Salgado. Reef is a love story set in a spoiled paradise. ![]() ![]() Sure it’s prone to abuses, but show me a social structure that isn’t. I’m not one of those people who thinks capitalism is the worst thing to ever blight humanity. Because while no book I’ve read has been diminished by setting it in space, this slightly more Earth-bound tale is a whole lot of fun.īefore we get into the book proper, I just want to say something. My disappointment quickly turned to curiosity, then to enjoyment. ![]() The title actually refers to the companies and individuals who are selling the idea of space travel to the general population. Having not really read the back cover, I was a little disappointed to discover that a book called The Space Merchants was not, in fact, about interstellar traders zipping about in their spaceships. But when Mitch Courtenay is put in charge of advertising the first trip to Venus, he soon discovers that the rewards come with their own share of risk, and that some business is worth killing for. Money makes the world go round, and few know the truth of that more than the advertising agencies. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a slow burn, focused mostly on the political conflict in Shanghai between different gangs, foreigners, Nationalists, and Communists. ![]() I really enjoyed this book, which is surprising because usually I’m very critical of Shakespeare retellings. Juliette and Roma, once lovers now enemies, must struggle against the dangerous politics of Shanghai to save their city from a new, terrifying threat while navigating the dangerous water of power. A monster is coming, and people are dying. However, something is brewing below the waters of the Huangpo river. Synopsis: Set in 1920s Shanghai, Juliette Cai and Roma Montagov have lived their lives under the careful watch of their families, the Scarlet Gang and the White Flowers, both powerful gangs seeking control in Shanghai. Anyways, I wasn’t planning to review this book, but I had a lot of thoughts about it, so here we go. I promise, next week there will be no book reviews. I feel like I’ve been coming out with so many book reviews recently. ![]() ![]() ![]() Cather said: "She was one of the truest artists I ever knew in the keenness and sensitiveness of her enjoyment, in her love of people and in her willingness to take pains" (Bohlke 44). ![]() According to the Historical Essay in the Scholarly Edition of My Ántonia ( University of Nebraska Press), Cather met Annie when she began working for Carrie and Irene Miner (the real life inspirations for Frances and Nina Harling in the novel). Following her father's death, Annie moved to Red Cloud, Nebraska to work with the Miner and Garber families. In Bohemia, František was a weaver and a musician, and Cather's novel dramatizes his transition from his former profession to farming. She and her parents, František and Anna Sadílek, and siblings moved to north central Webster County, Nebraska in Nebraska in 1880. Anna (Annie) Sadilek Pavelka is best known as the real life inspiration for the character Antonia Shimerda in Willa Cather's 1918 novel, My Ántonia.Īnnie was born in Bohemia (now Czech Republic), though her date of birth is unknown for certain. ![]() |
