5/13/2023 0 Comments Half blood sally green![]() ![]() I don’t think the cliff-hanger was enough to make me want to continue the series, because I really didn’t connect with the characters, or the world, particularly. I struggled to finish Half Bad, but was intrigued enough to continue to the end. I’m using the term graphic loosely as there isn’t any nudity or violent gore, but quite a large helping a torture, which, surprisingly, isn’t all that fun to read, even if I did only buy the book for £3. However, I was surprised with the tone of the novel – it was a heck of a lot darker than I was expecting, and a lot more graphic. I’m not the kind of person to give up a bargain, and for such a hyped book, it seemed like a great price. I bought this book because I’d seen a few people haul it on booktube, but mainly because it was being sold for £3. I think everyone has already made this joke, but Half Bad wasn’t half bad. ![]()

![]() ![]() Mirages answers the questions Nin readers have been asking for decades: What led to the demise of Nin’s love affair with Henry Miller? Just how troubled was her marriage to Hugh Guiler? What is the story behind Nin’s “children,” the effeminate young men she seemed to collect at will? Mirages is a deeply personal story of heartbreak, despair, desperation, carnage, and deep mourning, but it is also one of courage, persistence, evolution, and redemption that reaches beyond the personal to the universal. It is the long-awaited successor to the previous unexpurgated diaries Henry and June, Incest, Fire, and Nearer the Moon. Mirages collects, for the first time, the story that was cut from all of Nin’s other published diaries, particularly volumes 3 and 4 of The Diary of Anaïs Nin, which cover the same time period. ![]() As a child suffering abandonment by her father, Anaïs wrote, “Close your eyes to the ugly things,” and, against a horrifying backdrop of war and death, Nin combats the world’s darkness with her own search for light. In the middle looms a period Nin describes as “hell,” during which she experiences a kind of erotic madness, a delirium that fuels her search for love. ![]() Mirages opens at the dawn of World War II, when Anaïs Nin fled Paris, where she lived for fifteen years with her husband, banker Hugh Guiler, and ends in 1947 when she meets the man who would be “the One,” the lover who would satisfy her insatiable hunger for connection. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Sinjin by Julia Templeton![]() When she meets Sinjin at a soiree intended to introduce him to the eligible young ladies of the ton, she envies the lucky woman who will ultimately become his bride.

In order to keep her independence, Sybylla declines the chance to marry a wealthy young guy. In "My Brilliant Career," novel, Sybylla, an independent young girl growing up in early 20th-century Australia, tells her story. Franklin decided to delay the book's release until after her passing. Franklin experienced a great deal of distress as a result of the book's popularity in Australia and the perception that many of the characters resembled her own family and her life as a small farmer in New South Wales close to Goulburn. Franklin gave Henry Lawson the book, who added a preface and sent it to his own publishers in Edinburgh. When she was still a teenager, she wrote this novel as a romantic comedy for her friends' amusement. She (Stella Maria Sarah Miles Franklin, 1879-1954) was one of the foremost Australian authors of her period, publishing a number of novels after this one as her debut. Miles Franklin wrote "My Brilliant Career," a novel, in 1901. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He became obsessed with the idea that he would fall into such a state while away from home, and that his state would be mistaken for death. As he explains, his condition made him prone to slipping into a trance state of unconsciousness, a disease that grew progressively worse over time. The narrator reviews these examples in order to provide context for his nearly crippling phobia of being buried alive. In others, victims revived and were able to draw attention to themselves in time to be freed from their ghastly prisons. In the first case, the tragic accident was only discovered much later, when the victim's crypt was reopened. He emphasizes his fear by mentioning several people who have been buried alive. ![]() This leads to his fear of being buried alive ("The true wretchedness", he says, is "to be buried while alive"). In "The Premature Burial", the first-person unnamed narrator describes his struggle with things such as "attacks of the singular disorder which physicians have agreed to term catalepsy", a condition where he randomly falls into a death-like trance. This fear was common in this period and Poe was taking advantage of the public interest. Its main character expresses concern about being buried alive. " The Premature Burial" is a horror short story by American writer Edgar Allan Poe, published in 1844 in The Philadelphia Dollar Newspaper. For the film, see The Premature Burial (film). For burial while alive, see Premature burial. ![]() |
