Candace owens book6/12/2023 She covers her opinions regarding the modern feminist movement, the welfare system, the media, the problems facing Black America, and many more topics. Owens’ book consists of eleven chapters along with a Foreword by Larry Elder (an American conservative talk radio host), an introduction, a conclusion, and her notes section containing links to every single source she cites throughout her book. Embedded with her own personal experiences, history, and statistics, she argues her point very well. This is the argument that Blackout lays out. She travels around America to voice her opinion in an attempt to educate Black Americans on why being a Republican is the right choice to make. Her opinion caused an uproar among Democrats, but the Left deems most of her opinions as radical. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence. There is no society that can survive without strong men. Most recently, she has made headlines regarding Harry Styles’ Vogue cover in which he wore a dress. This blunt title reflects how Owens carries herself on social media: unapologetic. On February 4, 2020, Candace Owens, a right-winged political social media influencer, released her first book titled Blackout: How Black America Can Make Its Second Escape from the Democrat Plantation.

But I didn’t write much on my own-just some poetry now and then. That praise sent me off to Northwestern University feeling like I was a pretty good writer, and occasionally professors there also encouraged me and complimented the essays I was required to write as a literature major. And she’d also written in large, scrawly red writing, “Andrew-this poem is so funny. First, I’d gotten an A-a rare event in this teacher’s class. Two things were amazing about that paper. I know those quiet summers helped me begin to think like a writer.ĭuring my senior year at Springfield High School my English teacher handed back a poem I’d written. All day there was time to swim and fish and mess around outside, and every night, there was time to read. There was no TV there, no phone, no doorbell-and email wasn’t even invented. I don't know a single writer who wasn’t a reader first.īefore moving to Illinois, and even afterwards, our family spent summers at a cabin on a lake in Maine. I'm certain there's a link between reading good books and becoming a writer. I didn’t think about being a writer at all back then, but I did love to read. My parents were avid readers and they gave that love of books and reading to me and to all my brothers and sisters. I was born in Camden, New Jersey in 1949 and lived in Oaklyn and Cherry Hill until the middle of sixth grade. Descendant of the crane joan he6/11/2023 The complex and nuanced of sibling relationships in this book had me rapt. The amount of world-building conveyed within 400 pages is impressive, and I cannot wait to explore more of this kingdom and beyond. I absolutely loved how the background world building inform crucial points within the plot, whether it be from the Tenets or more recent royal court intrigue. Hesina’s kingdom is rich with its own inheritance of lores and legacies, her nation and her court often misguided by the weight of generational bigotry. The book combined the building blocks from historical influences with its own distinct brand of magic. Personally, I felt the strength of the novel laid within its intricate world-building. If this is what Joan He is capable of at the beginning of her career, I await eagerly to see what she will bring out next. While my lack of attachment to any of the main characters meant that I could not wholly love the book, I am impressed with the breadth of the world-building and complexity of the plot. The reading experience was one that left me reeling from the many clever twists and turns within the story. It promises intrigue and magic in a world deeply inspired by China’s rich and varied history. I was captivated by Descendant of the Crane the moment I saw its enchanting cover (illustrated by Feifei Ruan). Disclaimer: I received a digital copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

Book nomadland6/10/2023 "People who thought the 2008 financial collapse was over a long time ago need to meet the people Jessica Bruder got to know in this scorching, beautifully written, vivid, disturbing (and occasionally wryly funny) book. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. At the same time, it celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive, but have not given up hope. America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. Nomadland tells a revelatory tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy-one which foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. These invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in RVs and modified vans, forming a growing community of nomads.

Cs lewis autobiography book6/10/2023 Lewis recounts and remembers his early years with a measure of amusement sometimes mixed with pain. Overall, the book contains less detail concerning specific events than a typical autobiography, although it is not devoid of information about his life. It must have the stab, the pang, the inconsolable longing." "Joy is distinct not only from pleasure in general but even from aesthetic pleasure. He is struck with "stabs of joy" throughout his life. This Joy was so intense for something so good and so high up it could not be explained with words. His aim was instead to identify and describe the events surrounding his accidental discovery of and consequent search for the phenomenon he labeled "Joy", his best translation of the idea of Sehnsucht ( German: longing). Lewis' purpose in writing was not primarily historical. The work describes Lewis's life from very early childhood (born 1898) until his conversion to Christianity in 1931, but does not go beyond that date.
