7/4/2023 0 Comments The lost world doyleAll the other Challenger tales have something to recommend them but the first one hit it right on the head. “I don’t think adaptations of this particular story will ever stop. “Conan Doyle took some inspiration for Challenger from a physiology professor at Edinburgh who had made a great impression on his students by starting his lectures as he walked up the corridor, booming away before he actually came in,” said Lellenberg. Conan Doyle hoped the image of himself in a fake beard and bushy eyebrows would give his story an air of authenticity, but the editor refused to print it. They appear grouped around a table before they set off for a hidden mountain plateau above the Amazon river in search of creatures from the Jurassic age. “It promises to be a great success,” he wrote, “I should be surprised if it is not the bestseller of any book I have ever done.”Ĭonan Doyle even persuaded his friends to join him in posing for a mocked-up photograph of the story’s imaginary expedition team. “He wrote that Challenger ‘always amused me more than any other which I had invented’.”Ĭonan Doyle imagined Challenger as a kind of antidote to Sherlock’s analytical personality and was excited about his first appearance in The Lost World, serialised in the Strand Magazine from April 1912. It was very important to him,” said the American Conan Doyle expert Jon Lellenberg, who advises on the author’s literary estate. “The reason he is like Challenger, and why he felt so close, is that Conan Doyle never really grew out of the boyish side of himself. 7/4/2023 0 Comments John grogan and marleyThis is simply the sort of humorous, fun book I like to check out, but since I saw the flick, I nearly never review books AFTER I’ve seen the movie. Please leave a remark if you have any type of concerns, I will be greater than delighted to address if I can be of help. It motivates me to continue creating and upgrading my testimonials. I wish my evaluation has been useful to you. It really made me keep in mind all the attractive fantastic times with my cherished pet that passed away, and also it made me sad that she is gone. Marley was one fortunate dog, to have been had by a family that enjoyed him for that he was, as well as enjoyed him for his entire life. They stuck with Marley, they tried to discover, they tried obedience courses, they worked with their veterinarian to assist control Marley’s problems, and also they actually considered their dog a part of their household, through good as well as with bad. In this throwaway culture, where many people think about pet dogs to be “non reusable”, to be disposed at the pound when they are no more a charming pup, or when they begin misbehaving, the Grogans did what all responsible animal owners need to do. The Grogans might not have been the very best pet dog trainers worldwide, as well as they may have made a common error of acquiring their dog from a yard dog breeder, but what they did right was they liked their dog, and stayed devoted to him with his whole life, from puppyhood to aging. This is a book for canine enthusiasts, and for those who have actually been loved by a pet dog. 7/4/2023 0 Comments Rich people problem kevin kwanMeanwhile, Kitty Pong, married to China's second richest man, Jack Bing, still feels upstaged by her new stepdaughter, famous fashionista Colette Bing.

The story follows a young woman named Sophie who works in a teashop in the town she grew up in. It was a quick, easy read that kept me entertained throughout, and even had me shedding a few tears at one point. This book was not amazingly written, the language was quite simplistic and cliched, however I did enjoy it a lot. I’m splitting this into two parts, because otherwise this post will go on for DAYS. I’ve read a lot of books recently (for me), so I thought I’d do some mini reviews. However, I did miss you guys, and I missed blogging, and now I’m back! I’ll try not to stay away so long next time. Hello lovely people! I know I’ve been AWOL for a while, and I’m so sorry! I have no excuses, so I’m not going to make any. 7/4/2023 0 Comments Bella Key by Scarlet ChastainI also write hetero erotic romance under a different pen name. There’s no guess work involved, we have the same parts! What we think feels right will probably be a home run for our female partner. This is why hetero women like women focused erotic romance. So a woman’s sexual orientation doesn’t necessarily decide what turns her on. Yes, it’s true! Scientist conclude that heterosexual women are aroused by both men and women focused erotica. It’s a proven fact by a Northwestern University study that women are turned on by each other. Isn’t it? After digging around book sites such as AllRomance eBooks, I found a few great f/f authors and their work inspired me to write my own. Otherwise sex is just sex, and that’s just plain ho-hum. I need a believable relationship before the characters can get down to it. It’s very physical and aggressive, and not at all what I want to read. Unfortunately, I find much of the sub-genre is written for men. I’ve always been a fan of well written, sexy f/f erotic romance. Yes, female/female! Now before your clicking finger gets itchy, give me a chance, because BELLA KEY is a love story first, a lesbian story second. I’m thrilled to introduce my debut release, BELLA KEY, today! Just one peek at the cover will tell you it’s f/f. □ Everybody digs the motorcycle chick! □ Thanks for having me on Harlie’s Books today! I do love your free wheeling hot momma on the motorcycle graphic. 7/4/2023 0 Comments Decolonising methodologiesThe second part of the book meets the urgent need for people who are carrying out their own research projects, for literature which validates their frustrations in dealing with various western paradigms, academic traditions and methodologies, which continue to position the indigenous as 'Other'. Providing a history of knowledge from the Enlightenment to Postcoloniality, she also discusses the fate of concepts such as 'discovery, 'claiming' and 'naming' through which the west has incorporated and continues to incorporate the indigenous world within its own web. Extending the work of Foucault, she explores the intersections of imperialism, knowledge and research, and the different ways in which imperialism is embedded in disciplines of knowledge and methodologies as 'regimes of truth'. In the first, the author critically examines the historical and philosophical base of Western research. Here, an indigenous researcher issues a clarion call for the decolonization of research methods. From the vantage point of the colonized, the term 'research' is inextricably linked with European colonialism the ways in which scientific research has been implicated in the worst excesses of imperialism remains a powerful remembered history for many of the world's colonized peoples. 7/3/2023 0 Comments Boxers & saints boxed setYang doesn't shy from the ensuing bloodshed (beheadings are not uncommon), yet moments of lightheartedness and potential romance humanize the combatants, even as their campaigns take on zealous dimensions. By the time Little Bao and his amassed army, dubbed the Society of the Righteous and Harmonious Fist, reach the occupied city of Peking, morale is strained and the line between right and wrong has blurred. What begins as a righteous march to the capital, bolstered by Little B's recurring visions of a pantheon of Chinese gods, quickly escalates in violence and rhetoric. Raised in an impoverished rural village, Little Bao and his older brothers embark on a crusade to save China from Christian missionaries and other 'foreign devils' who are perceived to be the cause of their country's woes. With a superbly executed triptych of graphic novels, Yang (American Born Chinese) employs parallel storylines to represent two opposing Chinese experiences during the Boxer Rebellion at the turn of the 20th century. 7/3/2023 0 Comments Woody guthrie pete seegerInteractive experiences such as a sing-along area with some of the songs Seeger famously recorded as well as an interactive banjo lesson.Documents connected to the blacklisting era of the House Un-American Activities Committee.Items from Seeger’s work with the Almanac Singers, The Weavers, and People’s Songs. “Their common message is one that remains relevant as we continue their work for positive social change in the world.”Īmong the artifacts featured in the co-curated exhibit: “We are thrilled to bring Pete’s message of peace, justice, and equality to Woody’s home in Tulsa,” said Woody Guthrie Center Executive Director Deana McCloud.
