![]() ![]() I still absolutely loved it! I even went up to bed and huddled under my covers to read just that little bit more! Once you pick this book up you will never want to put it down. I will admit there are some errors in the book, which I will discuss with the author soon and see if it’s something which can be fixed for future readers, but even with the errors (there’s only a couple) it doesn’t detract from the story. The book is paced perfectly for its story and doesn’t seem to keep all of the action for the last chapter, something is always going on without a need for force. This is very rare for me and I have been tempted to skip that part of a book before. The book opens with so much emotion that I was sucked in within the Prologue. Ruth Silver is one talented lady! With a believable concept which in all honesty doesn’t feel that far from home, our main character, Olivia, guides us through the beauty, horror and struggle, that is life in her world. I really, really loved this book! The pages are loaded with emotion from start to finish and the imagery and narrative are so strong that you can imagine yourself in every scenario. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now in her 40s, Ward has reinvented herself as an award-winning porn star. “And eventually, I had to just crack the screen and get out.” ![]() ![]() “It was like I was in their television as this person that I always had to be for the rest of my life," Ward says. Ward spent her late adolescence on many people’s television screens, playing Jessica Forrester on the soap opera “The Bold and The Beautiful” and later Rachel McGuire on ’90s teen sitcom “Boy Meets World.” But coming of age in front of the camera came at a price, says Ward, who felt boxed in by her former roles as she got older. Watch Video: Adult film stars on how COVID-19 will change their industryīaring it all isn’t new territory for Maitland Ward, but this time she’s baring her soul in her debut memoir “Rated X: How Porn Liberated Me From Hollywood” (Atria Books, 256 pp., out now). ![]() ![]() ![]() We may feature it on the Come Fly The World website and on Julia Cooke's social media channels.

Yankee Bookshop (signed & personalized copies available!) ![]() How and why they did all this and how it changed them-and the world-is a story that took six years of reporting and writing to complete. Julia Cooke’s intimate storytelling weaves together the real-life stories of a memorable cast of characters, from small-town girl Lynne Totten, a science major who decided life in a lab was not for her, to Hazel Bowie, one of the relatively few Black stewardesses of the era, as they embraced the liberation of their new jet-set life. ![]() If you’ve ever been curious about the life of an international jet-age stewardess, stay tuned: in the pages of this book, women will almost drown off the coast of Liberia and dance all night in Nairobi, get tear-gassed in Vietnam War protests and then fly soldiers into that very war, fight history-making legal battles, doggedly pursue management positions, go on solo trips to incredible places, play “shake the KGB” together in Cold War Moscow, fly into an active war zone knowing only that almost 400 children needed evacuation, and much, much more. ![]() ![]() ![]() I close my eyes and duck my head upon hearing the news, the sense of loss overwhelming me.ĪND MATTHEW IS HOW I’VE THOUGHT OF YOU FOR YEARSĮver since I started working full time, my days seem to have gotten longer and my evenings shorter. And as he announces the name of the next President of the United States of America, Matt’s gaze locks with mine. He informs the room that the count is in. The dog raises his head on alert as Mark walks into the room, breathless, eyes wide, as if he cannot believe whatever it is that just happened-or is happening. I watch Jack, his warm puppy eyes and lightly wagging tail, to avoid looking at him. Of my lips circling the same cigarette that was on his lips. Leaving Jack on the couch, he restlessly stalks across the room and takes a seat beside his campaign manager by the window, and he lights a cigarette. ![]() ![]() I simply know if the results are not what he hoped for, he won’t want that cool champagne sitting there, a reminder of his loss. I know that’s not the case, instinctively. Everyone was surprised, they all felt that it meant Matt thought they’d lost the election. Matt asked one of the campaign aides to remove it from the room. There was even a bottle of champagne being chilled. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel.

In The TB12 Method, Tom Brady explains how he developed his groundbreaking approach to long-term fitness, presenting a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to his personal practice. ![]() The longtime New England Patriots quarterback, who in 2017 achieved his fifth Super Bowl win and fourth Super Bowl MVP award, is widely regarded as an athlete whose training and determination pushed him from a mediocre draft position to the most-revered and respected professional football player of his generation. “Brady is the healthiest great champion the NFL has ever had, both physically and mentally” (Sally Jenkins, The Washington Post). Joining their exclusive ranks is Tom Brady. These elite legends have changed the game, achieved the unthinkable, and pushed their bodies to unbelievable limits. In modern sports, some athletes have managed to transcend their competition in a way that no one will ever forget: Jordan. ![]() ![]() The first book by New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady-the five-time Super Bowl champion who is still reaching unimaginable heights of excellence at forty years old-a gorgeously illustrated and deeply practical “athlete’s bible” that reveals Brady’s revolutionary approach to sustained peak performance for athletes of all kinds and all ages. ![]() ![]() ![]() The poet in the very first line of the poem uses a metaphor. Mood of the poet in the whole poem remains optimistic. She also somewhere capitalizes the initial letter of a word to emphasize its importance. Habitually, the poet uses more dashes than any other punctuation mark. The poem consists of three stanzas and each stanza contains four lines. Hence, in this poem the readers realize that morality is also another important characteristic of Emily Dickinson poetry. The poet elucidates a message that it comforts everybody in times of trouble. She shows that hope is a divine light which remains with everyone until he dies. It is also a matter of fact that most of the poems of Emily Dickinson are based on themes of sadness and despair, most famous example of which is “ I Heard a Fly Buzz When I Died“ however, this specific poem is all about living in the world. Emily Dickinson Hope is the thing with Feathers Analysis The poet gives hope a shape of a bird, through which she very skillfully portrays her message about hope. As usual, she uses a poetic device called metaphor for this purpose. ![]() ![]() ![]() Emily Dickinson in her poem “Hope is the thing with Feathers” creates an analysis of human capacity for thinking about their future. Is the intellect high or the hope? Which of them do you consider is the highest? Can intellect assure us of future happiness? By no means! Its field is very narrow. ![]() ![]() It was like she was intent on giving the performance of a lifetime, as if the King of the World had stepped in to see her set and she had to impress him or have her head chopped off. It was on that thought when Stella started to sing Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” and all eyes turned to her. So now, by my count, there was one, maybe two if you counted Luke (though the jury was still out on him) or maybe about a dozen if you counted the Hot Bunch, Tex and Duke. There weren’t a lot of them in this world but I was beginning to think Ren was an exception to that rule. I agreed with what he said, I believed he wanted to keep Sissy safe and I was happy he was a good guy. “Dom doesn’t deserve her,” Ren said back and at his words and the way he said them (like he really meant them) I moved into him. “Ren,” I said softly as my way of saying thanks and his face lost some intensity. ![]() ![]() Please see extended rules for appropriate alternative subreddits, like /r/suggestmeabook, /r/whatsthatbook, etc. ‘Should I read …?’, ‘What’s that book?’ posts, sales links, piracy, plagiarism, low quality book lists, unmarked spoilers (instructions for spoiler tags are in the sidebar), sensationalist headlines, novelty accounts, low effort content.
