![]() ![]() Martin Dugard's thrilling account of this final voyage brings Columbus to life as never before-adventurer, businessman, father, lover, tyrant, and hero. On his tail were his enemies, sent from Europe to track him down. He would battle to survive amid mutiny, war, and a shipwreck that left him stranded on a desert isle for almost a year. Columbus would face the worst storms a European explorer had ever encountered. Of the four ships he led into the unknown, none returned. ![]() It was without doubt his most treacherous. Columbus himself would later claim that his fourth voyage was his greatest. ![]() What follows is one of history's most epic - and forgotten - adventures. And he plots for one great escape, one last voyage to the ends of the earth, one final chance to prove himself. The tall, freckled explorer with the aquiline nose, whose flaming red hair long ago turned gray, passes his days in prayer and rumination, trying to ignore the waterfront gallows that are all too visible from his cell. Less than a decade after discovering the New World, he has fallen into disgrace, accused by the royal court of being a liar, a secret Jew, and a foreigner who sought to steal the riches of the New World for himself. Christopher Columbus, stripped of his title Admiral of the Ocean Seas, waits in chains in a Caribbean prison built under his orders, looking out at the colony that he founded, nurtured, and ruled for eight years. ![]() ![]() ![]() “The weeks leading up to The Reaping were almost harder than the day itself.

People in that age group deserve to have books too and for a fun, Spooktober read, this is great. I would say the ideal audience is readers from 7th through 10th grade, which is completely fine. This does definitely read on the younger side of YA, so if you aren't into Tween reads, I would steer clear. I was looking for silly slasher that would make me nostalgic for my Junior High years, devouring every Fear Street book I could get my hands on. It's all about the mindset you go in with. If you enjoy campy, bloody, sometimes ridiculous movies like Cabin Fever, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Friday the 13th, House of Wax or Wrong Turn, I think you could enjoy this. Y'all, this book is a teen slasher flick come to the page!! When Maddie Davenport heads out on a camping trip with family and friends, she has no idea that it is a trip that will change her life forever.īut we all know what can happen when teens go camping. ![]() **3.5-stars rounded up because I feel like this book deserves a higher overall rating** ![]() ![]() ![]() Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero Whatcha Mean, What's a Zine?

In the midst of all this, Viv begins a first romance with Seth, who supports the Moxie Girl movement (but not always strongly enough for Viv). ![]() They wear bathrobes to school to protest an unfairly applied dress code and slap "You're an A-hole" stickers on the cars, lockers, and backpacks of boys who've harassed girls. She distributes the first issue anonymously, and no one suspects that always-follows-the-rules Viv could be behind it.Īt first, only a few girls show their solidarity by drawing stars and hearts on their hands, but as Viv secretly distributes more issues around school, more girls join in. ![]() Summary: Viv Carter creates the first issue of MOXIE, her feminist zine, because she's had it with boys who have no hesitation about demeaning, touching, verballing tormenting, or sexually harrassing the girls in her small-town high school. Publisher Information: New York, NY: Roaring Brook Press, 2017 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This powerful idea allows Sawyer to examine some of the deeply rooted assumptions of contemporary human civilization dramatically, by confronting us with another civilization, just as morally valid, that has made other choices. The trilogy tells of our world and a parallel one in which it was the Homo sapiens who died out and the Neanderthals who became the dominant intelligent species. Sawyer, the award-winning and bestselling writer, hits the peak of his powers in Humans, the second book of The Neanderthal Parallax ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() We love the tag line on the poster, though: "Don't be Cupid." 2020: Film with Anya Taylor-Joy ![]() Set among the modern upper class of Delhi, India, here's another musical version of Austen, but with a refreshing take thanks to its cultural transplantation. Though well-made, it didn't seem to click widely and isn't well-remembered, but for completists it's well worth the visit. Some 14 years after creating the perfect multi-part limited series with "Pride and Prejudice," BBC came back with a four-parter for "Emma" featuring Garai, Jonny Lee Miller and Michael Gambon. Still two years away from 1998's Oscar-winning turn in "Shakespeare in Love," Paltrow is glowing amid a star-studded cast that includes Alan Cumming, Toni Collette, Ewan McGregor and Jeremy Northam. Brodey calls this her "favorite adaptation" of the book. ![]() There's more than enough charm to go around. Knightley were unrelated, while Cher and Josh of “Clueless’” are step-siblings, but 'tis a mere quibble. Of course, there are some changes: Emma and Mr. "Clueless," starring Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd, is a loose take on the 1815 comedy of manners about of a single woman playing matchmaker, then finding love of her own in the most unlikely of places. ![]() ![]() ![]() To the literary world, Cory had seemingly come out of nowhere only to scoop up the entire prize pool. Me and Mr Booker went on to win the Commonwealth Writers Prize (Pacific Region), and her second novel My Beautiful Enemy (2013) – a heartsplitting queer love story set in a Japanese internment camp in country Victoria – was nominated for the Miles Franklin. It was finished in such a blitz, many close friends weren’t even aware Cory was writing a novel. ![]() At its centre was an irresistible, whip-smart heroine, who thought and spoke like the 16-year-old we wish we’d been. Partly inspired by her teen years, Me and Mr Booker (2010) was about a teenage girl’s sexual coming of age in the drab Canberra suburbs of Cory’s own youth. Given how few people knew she had been diagnosed with advanced melanoma in 2005, we now know that what she needed most to tell her stories was speed. ![]() No need for funding, producers or directors, just terrific editors (Text Publishing’s Caro Cooper, then Penny Hueston) and a great publisher (Michael Heyward) and bam – the books were out. After decades of working as a screenwriter, Cory turned her attention to novels and discovered she loved the efficiency of writing books. But much of this only happened after Cory changed her relationship to writing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tobacco from the Caribbean ensorcelled the wealthy and powerful in Madrid, Madras, Mecca, and Manila.īut nothing like this worldwide exchange had existed before, still less sprung up so quickly, or functioned so continuously. By the time those babies had grandchildren, slaves from Africa mined silver in the Americas for sale to China Spanish merchants waited impatiently for the latest shipments of Asian silk and porcelain from Mexico and Dutch sailors traded cowry shells from the Maldive Islands, in the Indian Ocean, for human beings in Angola, on the coast of the Atlantic. Mann's 1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created 1 Two Monuments THE SEAMS OF PANGAEAīabies born on the day the admiral founded La Isabela-January 2, 1494-came into a world in which direct trade and communication between western Europe and East Asia were largely blocked by the Islamic nations between (and their partners in Venice and Genoa), sub-Saharan Africa had little contact with Europe and next to none with South and East Asia, and the Eastern and Western hemispheres were almost entirely ignorant of each other's very existence.

I had previously volunteered at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) as a research intern in one of its outpatient psychiatry clinics. The enjoyment of tutoring others in ESL inspired me to pursue it as an interest, and I volunteered to teach ESL at the Nationalities Service Center on a number of occasions. Generally, I felt it weird that people could be so cold to one another, seeing as I was born in Philadelphia, the “City of Brotherly Love.” In order to embody such sentiments, I had tattooed the phrase “Let’s LOVE each other” in English on my left arm and later mirrored the phrase in Korean on my right arm. ![]() Prior to the accident, I typically thought of myself as an effusive person who learned to, at times, keep his heartfelt sentiments in check. ![]() |
