List of Book Reviews. Twitter, FB, Insta. Where is the body, where is the soul? A review of Han Kang’s “Human Acts”. June 19, 2016. Han Kang is one of my new favourite authors. Her latest novel, “The Vegetarian”. The question of if the body and the soul are separate entities or one and the same has been an unanswerable question in many strands of philosophy since the beginning of time. This very question of: What is a body? What is a soul? The story is violent. However, not in a sensationalised way&#...

https://libbycole.wordpress.com/2015/08/14/a-hike-some-sweat-and-a-diamond-ring
Romance writer and reader. Get New Books First. A hike, some sweat, and a diamond ring. Anyone who’s been reading my blog for a while knows I’m currently working on a trilogy set in Hawaii. There’s a reason for that; it has to be one of the most romantic places I’ve ever been to! I can see why all you Americans go on honeymoon there. Why hello, beautiful. I Nearly. Died. Between the heat and the steep climb, I was highly relieved to get to the top. Check out how clear the water is! Nowadays the name tend...

August 12, 2015. August 17, 2016. Around March I had saved some money to buy some Folios in the summer sale in July.But sci-fi novels were being discounted at 20%,and these included The Handmaid’s Tale,the novel that I most wanted in my wish list.Even though the 20% discounts didn’t save me much,I was happy to finally acquire it.To dilute shipping cost,I added Fahrenheit 451 and The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Then I included the Bhagavad Gita.Even though I’m an atheist,I learned a f...August ...

A Little Gay History – Hannah Witton
https://hannahwitton.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/a-little-gay-history
20-something, history graduate, YouTuber, sex positive, Hufflepuff. Books, Films and Music. A Little Gay History. August 6, 2015. There are a few reasons why I’m writing this post. 1) I studied a lot of sexual history at university and I think it is fascinating and so so important. 2) I recently quit my part-time job and one of the main reasons I did that was so I could spend more time reading and researching about sexuality and gender so I could become more informed.

Review: The Beautiful Bureaucrat | Ryan's Book Review

Ryan's Book Review. Book Reviews and Conversations. ABOUT ME and CONTACT INFO. Review: The Beautiful Bureaucrat. My rating: 5 of 5 stars. The person who interviewed her had no face. And thus begins the ride of discovery in this familiar, yet surreal novel: how far will someone go to preserve self and to preserve someone they love? There is one chapter in particular where I didn’t know what was going on Josephine’s usual play on words was breaking apart. She would look at word like legibly and the wri...

To my fourteen-year-old self | Wake Up Your Luck
https://wakeupyourluck.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/to-my-fourteen-year-old-self
Wake Up Your Luck. 16 Goals for 2016. To my fourteen-year-old self. 6 August, 2015. 6 August, 2015. Lauren, Wake Up Your Luck. There is a strange appeal to the idea of writing a letter to a past self. Although it is difficult to explain why. We love these ideas, even make books of these letters, but the rational side of me is thinking, ‘Why are we doing this? We didn’t read this as a fourteen-year-old; we would have noticed! It’s too late to do anything with the advice! To my fourteen-year-old self,.
