Fifty Shades Freed won the Goodreads Choice Award (2012), and Fifty Shades of Grey was selected as one of the 100 Great Reads, as voted by readers, in PBSs The Great American Read (2018). Romantic, liberating and totally addictive, the Fifty Shades trilogy will obsess you, possess you, and stay with you for ever.

Daunted by the singular sexual tastes and dark secrets of the beautiful, tormented young entrepreneur Christian Grey, Anastasia Steele has broken off their relationship to start a new career with a Seattle publishing house. She comes to Italy for a summer holiday and ends up having a love affair with Tancredi, an architect (though we never see him do anything workwise) who's married but separated and older, though it is never clear how much older. We never learn much (by which I mean, anything) about her life in England. Overall, the writing is beautiful without being showy. The descriptions of Italy are powerful and evocative without ever feeling heavy-handed. The narrator gives us access into the minds of all three main characters, though they somehow remain mysterious and yet real, just as people do to themselves.

There was even a security vehicle that pulled up right next to us, and I went into panic mode (ruh roh!! We’re gonna get the whole “move along folks” in just a few). Meaning, we had to move quickly and avoid cars (or they just… waited). □ Somehow I (yes I, I readily admit it was me) had the bright idea to take the pictures on the parking lot side of the tour bus. Ahhhh Penny, you have a way with words. Those pictures were taken just a few minutes after we had our books signed (by both) and we were still a little dazed. “Maryse left out that some of the bus molestation pictures actually stopped traffic in front of the mall but no one seemed to mind!” Oh yeah, like, okay, remember those tour bus pictures? When Penny left this comment in my first “signing post”, and I figured I better explain, lest y’all get some crazy ideas about what she actually meant: I have over 400 pictures from the event (some gorgeous ones of Kresley in all of her beautiful enthusiasm), and will be uploading many of them over the next few days, to my Facebook photos, but thought I’d make a quick “scrapbook” version here, and include some funny tidbits or anecdotes that I remembered from that day! WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT!!! –> Congratulations Ally Dobson! You win my second giveaway of Kresley Cole’s signed Lothaire book (signed by Lothaire and Kresley)!! In essay after essay, Gay ably diagnoses our desire for female role models to symbolize all things to all people. Feminism’s rules, Gay observes, are different from the patriarchy’s, but they can be equally strict and screw-up-able. Heaven help the young actress who tweets the wrong thing about Woody Allen, or the corporate executive with socioeconomic blind spots. The “bad feminist” moniker turns out to have a special magic-it allows Gay to resist the pressure to be perfect, and points out the irony of women fighting the sexist idea that they must be other than what they are (more beautiful, more agreeable, more maternal or professional or fill-in-the-blank), yet still demanding flawlessness from their feminist idols. There is no effort to reconcile these inconsistencies. She thinks misogynist songs like “Blurred Lines” are catchy but writes an impassioned letter to the girls who say they would let Chris Brown hit them. “I am failing as a feminist … I am a mess of contradictions.” Gay, the author of one novel, An Untamed State, which came out in May 2014, despises rape jokes but loves crappy exploitative television. “I am failing as a woman,” she writes, half seriously. So I would really encourage people to watch the film and then there’ll be a really interesting conversation about which elements of the essence of the book we’ve held in the adaptation and where we’ve been a little bit more iconoclastic. Eight years after Anne Elliot was persuaded not to marry a dashing man of humble origins, they meet again. “I suspect that the trailer possibly skews more towards that comic quality in the film. 2022 Maturity Rating: 7+ 1h 49m Romantic Comedies. Even if you skipped reading this particular. “It’s really important to me that the film holds the grown-up longing and heartache and complexity of Anne’s journey, and I’ve tried to calibrate that really carefully, as well as finding this slightly more anarchic, comic energy. As Netflix’s new adaptation of Jane Austen’s Persuasionopens, the music is solemn and vaguely symphonic, suitable to both century and situation. “I think people have a really deep feeling of ownership over Austen and, rightly, have a really sort of strong connection to the book,” she told Indie Wire. J4:42 PM EDT T hose looking for a Jane Austen fix after watching Netflix’s adaptation of her final novel, Persuasion, starring Dakota Johnson, are in luck. However, director Carrie Cracknell has insisted that fans of the novel shouldn’t be deterred by the comic tones of the trailer. The cheeky trailer for Persuasion, which features Dakota Johnson breaking the fourth wall, raised some eyebrows among Austen purists concerned that bringing in elements of Fleabag or Bridgerton would dilute the novelist's work. Published Its time for another Regency-era romance drama, as Jane Austens Persuasion is being adapted into a Netflix film releasing this July. Finding out that she has just killed the Wicked Witch of the East, the munchkins inform her just how wicked the witch was including how the witch had cut the library funding. The graphic novel opened up just like the classic novel that we all love with Dorothy and her beloved dog touching down in the Land of Oz. This mix of characters created a fun and entertaining read. Some of the characters had some interesting characteristics to make them stand out while other characters I wasn’t too fond of. I found a few illustrations hard to decipher, the chaos inside them overlapping and the features hard to distinguish from one another, I decided that bedlam was taking place and I moved on to the next frame. I was disappointed that some of the classic features of the novel were left out but the author added some his own adaptions that I think younger children will enjoy. I thought that the frames were easy to follow and I liked the bright and bold colors that were used in the illustrations. What a unique adaption of the Wizard of Oz and I have to say, that this graphic novel moves quickly. The protagonist of this 'imminent eschatology', as it is called, was Paul of Tarsus. Throughout the next two Christian generations, at least, it was presumed that the end was nigh, that the Messiah would return with a terrible swift sword. Jesus expected the arrival of the Kingdom of God within his generation. It is now generally recognised that Loisy was correct. No one was sure how to define Modernism, but the churchly authorities were certain they knew it when they saw it in the writings of Loisy. For his trouble, he was censured and eventually excommunicated from the Catholic Church for the arch-heresy of Modernism. In it he pithily phrases the central fact of early Christianity: "Jesus foretold the Kingdom, but it was the Church that came." Loisy was attempting to refute the individualism of the Protestant theologian, Adolf Harnack, by pointing to the historical necessity of an ecclesial organisation. In 1904 the French Catholic theologian, Alfred Loisy, published a book called L'Evangile et l'Eglise, The Gospel and the Church. |
