I still found time to run a hand through my hair-wet with sweat-before tripping him with one strong kick to his legs as he tried to stand up. I twisted my upper torso to the side in order to dodge him and watched him fall to the ground on his hands and knees. ![]() The hunter was lunging toward me at full speed, throwing all the strength he had left into a tackle that I knew wasn’t going to work. My life was no longer about myself or the prophecy I had to fulfill. The realization strengthened my resolve to make every moment I had with her a memory worth keeping. ![]() I could be there for her for as long as she lived, but she couldn’t possibly be there for me for as long as my immortality lasted.

Sofia was forever going to be an enigma to me-I’d long accepted that fact, but if there was one thing I couldn’t stand seeing, it was her tears. I couldn’t understand why she was crying, but it made the kiss-innocent as it was-utterly heartbreaking. Before anyone could react, Sofia’s arms were around my neck and she placed a soft, gentle kiss on my lips. ![]() ![]() ![]() Along the way, in his signature style, Rutherfurd provides a deeply researched portrait of Chinese history and society, its ancient traditions and great upheavals, and China's emergence as a rising global power. ![]() ![]() Rutherfurd chronicles the rising and falling fortunes of members of Chinese, British, and American families, as they negotiate the tides of history.

It didn’t feel much like an enemies-to-lovers trope because only Henley seems to think they are enemies. Graeme and Henley’s relationship felt rushed and not quite fleshed out. However, the romance element where the book fell short for me. The book also focuses almost as much on elements outside the Graeme and Henley’s romance as it does the relationship itself. ![]() ![]() Shipped was a fun, light read – and much needed escape! I loved learning more about the Galapagos, and while the plot contained several predictable rom-com elements, the whole travel/cruise company element was something I hadn’t seen before in this genre. Henley and Graeme finally meet when they are sent on one of their company’s cruises to do research for their proposals- and the best proposal earns the promotion. The only thing standing in her way is her Graeme, a remote employee in her department who just so happens to be her biggest enemy. Shipped follows Henley, an ambitions career-driven woman who is considered for a huge promotion at the cruise company she works for. Aside from the adorable cover, I was initially drawn to this book when I saw that it was being marketed as The Unhoneymooners meets The Hating Game. ![]() ![]() ![]() He charts the remarkable rise of modern medical science - the emergence of specialties such as anatomy, physiology, neurology, and bacteriology - as well as the accompanying development of wider medical practice at the bedside, in the hospital, and in the ambitious public health systems of the twentieth century. ![]() ![]() "Roy Porter explores medicine's evolution against the backdrop of the wider religious, scientific, philosophical, and political beliefs of the culture in which it develops, and he shows how our need to understand where diseases come from and what we can do to control them has - perhaps above all elseinspired developments in medicine through the ages. ![]() Introduction - The roots of medicine - Antiquity - Medicine and faith - The medieval west - Indian medicine - Chinese medicine - Renaissance - The new science - Enlightenment - Scientific medicine in the nineteenth century - Nineteenth-century medical care - Public medicine - From Pasteur to penicillin - Tropical medicine, world diseases - Psychiatry - Medical research - Clinical science - Surgery - Medicine, state and society - Medicine and the people - The past, the present and the future published with subtitle: A medical history of humanity from antiquity to the present ![]() ![]() Worse, he doesn’t think she’s perfect either. He’s everything she should wish for, until a disastrous dinner reveals Alex isn’t as perfect as she thinks. Not only is he successful and easy on the eyes, to her parents’ delight, he’s also Chinese. ![]() Help comes in the form of an old college crush, Alex Lai. She wants to break free from her daily grind, but when a hike in rent threatens the survival of their shop, her parents rely on her more than ever. Jasmine quickly loses herself in a cyclical routine of donuts, Netflix, and sleep. With no boyfriend or job prospects, Jasmine returns home to work at her parents’ donut shop. Jasmine Tran has landed herself behind bars-maple bars that is. ![]() ![]() Julie Tieu sparkles in this debut romantic comedy, which is charmingly reminiscent of the TV show Kim’s Convenience and Frankly in Love by David Yoon, about a young woman who feels caught in the life her parents have made for her until she falls in love and finds a way out of the donut trap. ![]() ![]() ![]() (The severance of ties between Indigenous people and their communities and traditions is a major theme in her music and life.) When Tagaq’s family was moved to the settlement at Cambridge Bay during her childhood, she felt pressured to assimilate other kids discouraged speaking Inuktitut, an Inuit language. Tagaq, who was born to an Inuit family in Nunavut, didn’t grow up practicing the form. The game ends when one person laughs or runs out of breath. Usually, two performers face each other, each holding the other’s arms and generating sounds that mimic nature-grunts, squeals, squawks, coos, and crows-for the other to answer. The tradition of Inuit throat singing originated as a playful contest between women. ![]() It is her technique and vision that have made her one of the most celebrated and innovative practitioners of her culture’s visceral style. Her performing, at once animalistic and operatic, brings a spirit of experimentation to an old tradition: in the course of her career, Tagaq, an advocate for Indigenous rights and cultural practices, has updated the exercise to include drums, electronica, and even spoken-word poetry. ![]() ![]() The form that she practices uses guttural sounds and breaths to produce a physical performance of groans, gasps, and sighs, conjuring a sonic landscape which is by turns rhythmic and melodic. The Canadian Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq makes music that seems to cleanse the body. ![]() ![]() ![]() She dares us to question the roots of our vexations with the world, just as her heroine is forced to. She dares us to be disappointed, even as she addresses why we must never be complacent about the moral of our human story. ![]() ![]() It is this very cynicism which Harper Lee chooses to tackle in this prescient follow-up to the story which made her famous, back when we too were innocents. What is it about sequels that simultaneously breaks our hearts and charges our souls? A comeback is always difficult to effect, especially because the audience has grown increasingly jaded, has grown with the tale to expect more or, most tragically, to already believe its expectations will not be met. ![]() |
