![]() ![]() It is mythology and promisingly stays so. The author doesn’t put much effort into modernizing the story. We see a beautiful love story of Rudra and his lover and the warrior princess-Parvati, who helps him in the fight against Asuras. How Rudra learns to use his gift and fights against Asuras is the plot of the story. The gift, therefore, becomes a threat to him and his loved ones as Rudra is innately an aggressive person. When Rudra is in rage, his third eye opens up, destroying anyone in his way. Rudra is a celestial warrior prince, born with a gift-HIS THIRD EYE. Rudra means ‘who eradicates problems from their roots’.ĭhyanesh, the 15-year-old author of the book, has made an excellent attempt at presenting the story of Rudra. In the Rigveda, Rudra is praised as the 'mightiest of the mighty'. One translation of the name is 'the roarer'. Rudra is a Rigvedic deity associated with wind or storm, Vayu, and the hunt. Shiva is said to be the controller of time itself and has the responsibility of carrying out the process of destruction at the end of creation. Wikipedia: Shiva is one of the 3 principal deities of Hinduism. ![]() But the Hindu god that garners the most attention is Shiva. I find so many books in the market about Ram, Raavan, Sita, Draupadi, Krishna, etc., that I have lost the count. Indian mythology is taking over the hearts of readers lately. ![]()

![]() In the first section, "Jesus, and Interpretation", Thurman frames his argument on the facts that Jesus was a poor Jew, living under Roman rule, none of which provided Him any advantage towards becoming a worldwide spiritual phenomenon. ![]() By detailing religion as a symptom to the root cause of greater problems, Thurman recontextualizes Jesus, taking Him out of the mandated religions that have been created in His name, and placing Him in the historical context of His day and age. Matthew Monk Whether you consider yourself "religious" or not, this book will appeal to you, precisely because this is exactly the theme of Thurman's treatise. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Spine may show si Title: Bewitched Author: Constance O'Day-Flannery Format/binding: Mass Market Paperback Book condition: Good Quantity available: 1 Binding.

Each step they take in their friendship feels easy and natural. Lord doesn’t force her two narrators together, though. Jack is also lonely, though it is less obvious, as he is known for joking around and being mistaken for his twin brother, Ethan, but feels trapped by his family’s East Village deli that he’s supposed to take over. Pepper, who is at the top of their class and stays up late to help run her parent’s small-burger-joint-turned-international-franchise’s Twitter account, is lonely. As they get to know each other in these different capacities, their relationship goes from classmates, to friends, to something more romantic. Released January 2020, “Tweet Cute” follows Pepper and Jack, two high school seniors in Manhattan who strike up a real-life friendship while unknowingly sparring on Twitter behind their respective family restaurant accounts and anonymously chatting on an app Jack designed, called Weazel. ![]() Featuring plenty of social media and pop culture references mixed between the perfect romantic-comedy vibes, Emma Lord’s debut novel, “Tweet Cute,” is ideal if you’re looking for something fun to read.

The relationship between Amos and peaches is not interesting or particularly believable for me, but even worse was the repeated effort to dive into Naomis prior relationships and psychological problems after 4 books where she was mostly written as a hyper competent and strong willed woman. A major terrorist attack and the mystery of the protomolecule see absolutely no resolution – this is basically a setup for a sequel where something might actually happen. The characters move on their own but dont accomplish much besides miraculously staying alive – particularly Amos who is essentially invulnerable. At the same time, a previously unknown terrorist group is somehow able to field a navy to confront mars and overwhelm the OPA. ![]() ![]() the Martian government also essentially collapses with no real rationale. Mars has a population exodus that would require tens of thousands if not not hundreds of thousands of ships and many years, yet it happens almost instantly. I know that might be a strange complaint in a sci-fi series, but major plot points are inconsistent with prior books. The attempt to develop the backstory for characters falls flat, and the new villain is not compelling at all. ![]() ![]() Only Zack never expects the women to fall so beautifully in love with Jack and as the polar opposite of his ex?

Or rather, not so drastic and unbelievable. ![]() The stories at the high school say she scratched herself so bad, she wears dark glasses to hide the hideous scars. Back when she was in school, there was an incident. Finding Audrey has all the quirkiness of the Shopaholic Series, all the romance of the Undomestic Goddess and Can you Keep A Secret, all combined into a narration of a teenager with an anxiety disorder, written for young adults forming an ABSOLUTELY perfect book by the queen of perfection!Īudrey had an incident. And that was my reaction to the whole charming, fresh, funny and all around BRILLIANT new young adult novel by Sophie Kinsella. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is desirable that such readers, for their own sakes, should not suffer the solitary word Poetry, a word of very disputed meaning, to stand in the way of their gratification but that, while they are perusing this book, they should ask themselves if it contains a natural delineation of human passions, human characters, and human incidents and if the answer be favourable to the author’s wishes, that they should consent to be pleased in spite of that most dreadful enemy to our pleasures, our own pre-established codes of decision. Readers accustomed to the gaudiness and inane phraseology of many modern writers, if they persist in reading this book to its conclusion, will perhaps frequently have to struggle with feelings of strangeness and aukwardness: they will look round for poetry, and will be induced to enquire by what species of courtesy these attempts can be permitted to assume that title. ![]() ![]() They were written chiefly with a view to ascertain how far the language of conversation in the middle and lower classes of society is adapted to the purposes of poetic pleasure. The majority of the following poems are to be considered as experiments. The evidence of this fact is to be sought, not in the writings of Critics, but in those of Poets themselves. It is the honourable characteristic of Poetry that its materials are to be found in every subject which can interest the human mind.

We first meet Gbessa, newly exiled from her village, Lai, in West Africa. In this ambitious novel, Moore artfully and lovingly uses her protagonists to explore exile, belonging, resilience, relationships, loss, and freedom amidst the larger context of the African Diaspora and culminating in the reimagined founding of Liberia. The lives of these three characters knit together narratives of the Caribbean, North America, and Africa. She Would Be King, Wayétu Moore’s debut novel published by Graywolf Press, tells the stories of three main characters: Gbessa, a wild and passionate suspected witch Norman Aragon, a loner descended from the English and Maroons and June Dey, a fierce runaway slave. ![]() |
