Unlike writings on and for lesbian, gay, or bisexual practices however, BDSM continues to be largely illegitimate as a topic for serious discussion of sexual technique, psychological impact -even safety- despite a significant established need and growing acceptance of these practices among younger generations. I wanted to critique this book specifically because BDSM, like other sexual minorities, is not often spoken of or written about positively for those interested in learning more about its practice or theory when Wiseman’s book was published in its first edition in 1992, it was “the most comprehensive discussion of this information at the time” (pg. My critique includes consideration of how Wiseman has set up his book, the weaknesses and strengths in his discussion of BDSM practices, techniques, safety, and psychosocial effects, as well as how I as a sex therapist could utilize the text in counseling. Jay Wiseman’s book SM 101, A Realistic Introduction offers a down-to-earth, funny, and straight-forward discourse on how to safely and joyously practice bondage/discipline, domination/submission, and sadomasochism. The new hunger, the burning world, and the living the burning world was my favorite out of all of these books, and I can’t really pinpoint to why, but I don’t know. It’s kinda like a 1.5 or really a 0.5 because it’s a prequel anyway, warm bodies. Is technically numbered as book number two, but I don’t really count novellas as numbers. Well, they had, they have a novella, which. I liked The Burning World, which was book two. This was the last and final book in the Warm Bodies series, and I gotta say I liked the Middle book the Best. So I finally finished reading The Living by Isaac Marion. We have a lot of stuff to talk about, so we are going to just dive right in with the reading update. Hello, hello, hello and welcome to episode number 95 of Work In progress: The Laura Jay Live podcast and today, woo. Tardar Sauce also made a movie, Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever, and became the first feline to get its own waxwork at Madame Tussauds.Īt the time of her death in 2019, Tardar Sauce had 2.4 million Instagram followers and 8.5 million Facebook likes. Most of Tardar Sauce's earnings came from books, merchandise, advertising deals and appearances. Eventually, Bundeson left her day job at Red Lobster to manage her pet's soaring success.īy 2014, the Grumpy Cat empire was reported to be worth $99.5 million, although this is something Bundeson denied. It was a photo Bundeson's brother shared to Reddit that launched Tardar Sauce's career as an influencer and professional internet meme. Born in 2012, the cat's unique expression-which was the result of feline dwarfism and a pronounced underbite- spawned countless memes and allegedly made his owner, Tabantha Bundeson, a wealthy woman. Real name Tardar Sauce, the original "Grumpy Cat" was an internet sensation. Mick's (seen here as a kitten) permanently angry facial expression has won him thousands of followers online, just like original "Grumpy Cat" Tardar Sauce. It was with such considerations that Jessica selected her major. The degree, which she acquired from Brigham Young University, enticed Jessica because she thought it would let her read as many books as she could possibly want. This obsession had a direct impact on Jessica’s decisions in life, especially when she chose to pursue a Humanities/Comparative Literature degree. It isn’t even that surprising to learn that Jessica was accompanied by books to her honeymoon. Where other authors might select their bags with fashion in mind, Jessica doesn’t waste money on any purse that cannot fit her paperback book. Everything she did and thought about was merely an obstacle waiting to be moved so she could finally get to her books, not only with regards to reading them and writing them.Īll her friends and family can tell you as much. And as far as she can remember, her life has always revolved around books. Jessica Day George, who sometimes just goes by the name Jessica Day, is an American author and bestseller that has written numerous adaptations of famous fairy tales. After swinging from trees, ruling the Wild Things, and even joining in a wild rumpus, Max realizes that there really is no place like home! 4. One night, a little boy named Max dons his wolf suit “and makes mischief of one kind or another.” After his mother sends him to his room, Max imagines that he sails away to where the Wild Things are. Where the Wild Things Areby Maurice Sendak “Buckle-up for a fun-filled day of planes, trains, automobiles…and even a pickle truck! Featuring hundreds of clearly labeled vehicles, this is the perfect book for little vehicle fans from the one and only Richard Scarry.” 3.

Changed some requirement to make more sense, will tweak them with times. Institution reworked to be able to spawn anywhere. An empty europe, ready for colonization. New Colonial regions across Europe *For now they follow the trade nodes borders) Dont forget to check the patchnotes for what's new. Im also open to any suggestion or feedback. This mod will empty europe (Leaving only a few survivors on islands), add colonial regions in said empty europe and add events and new contents.įor now the basics are there, and it is fully playable, but more content will comes. So imagine my surprise when there was no *that i could find at least) mod recreating the book events in EU4. With times, new major power rose, and history repeated itself.Īlthough it is not the best book in the world, this book is still well worth the reading. For those who have read it, "The Years of Rice and Salt" is an alternate history novel where the black plague wiped most of Europe. In the title story of The Day it Rained Forever, three dried-up old men in a dried-up old hotel in the desert are unexpectedly visited by a retired music teacher whose car has broken down outside. At one time I tried to write like he did, though now I see that would be quite impossible. My favourite of his novels is Dandelion Wine, which is actually more like a themed collection of short stories, on growing up in small-town America between the wars, a subject to which he often returned. Each story took one remarkable idea and executed it perfectly. I think of him as a short story writer rather than a novelist. But the first of his books I read was The Day it Rained Forever, one of his many books of short stories. As they said on the radio, he was probably best known for novels like Fahrenheit 451 and The Martian Chronicles. This collection is a way to honor the work of Edgar Allan Poe, but it’s also a way to view it through different gazes, to take classic literature with its relatively homogeneous perspectives and settings and give them new life. It’s a tall order, running off of those feelings, those memories, and trying to both recapture them and reimagine them into something new. He turned my skin cold and damp while I read about the catacombs in “The Cask of Amontillado” and slowly crumbled my heart with “Annabel Lee.” He set my entire body on edge through “The Tell-Tale Heart” and stole my breath with “The Pit and the Pendulum.” He made me mourn for women I’d never met and cheer for retribution I didn’t even completely understand, and all I knew was that he was the first person I’d been assigned to read who made me marvel at what an author could do, where an author could place you, what he could make you physically feel. The themes of Edgar Allan Poe’s work have eternal relevance, but what I remember most about learning it in school was that it just seemed so much cooler than everything else. Most come for the books themselves, of course some come to borrow companionship. People are drawn to libraries for all kinds of reasons. Halperns novel is an unforgettable tale of family.the kind you come from and the kind you create.
