This poignant, intimate, and hilarious memoir explores Shonda’s life before her Year of Yes-from her nerdy, book-loving childhood to her devotion to creating television characters who reflected the world she saw around her. Shonda knew she had to embrace the challenge: for one year, she would say YES to everything that scared her. And then, over Thanksgiving dinner, her sister muttered something that was both a wake up and a call to arms: You never say yes to anything. With three children at home and three hit television shows, it was easy for Shonda to say she was simply too busy. So who would suspect that Shonda Rhimes is an introvert? That she hired a publicist so she could avoid public appearances? That she suffered panic attacks before media interviews? Her iconic characters live boldly and speak their minds. She’s the creator and producer of some of the most groundbreaking and audacious shows on television today. “As fun to read as Rhimes’s TV series are to watch” ( Los Angeles Times). The instant New York Times bestseller from the creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder shares how saying YES changed her life. ![]() ![]() I would have liked more of Horus’ political scheming and more clear character deaths. We knew most of the treachery before Istvaan and it’s a shame. ![]() I wanted a little more color to Tarvitz and Vipus fate should be death, but I think they deserved an on-page death. ![]() This novel does its job best focusing on the ground forces of space marines fighting treachery, and that’s what a lot of us are showing up for. You can justify this as a post-Davin affair, but it began immediately in False Gods and never returned. It’s just loyalties and force, whereas in Horus Rising there were depictions of subtle political maneuvering, genius even, but it’s been given up at this point for vague secrecy and blind anger. It serves its job, hits the right notes for 40K fans, but doesn’t have quite the wonder of “Horus Rising.” Horus and Abaddon take a decent step away from cackling villains like they were in “False Gods,” but the political intrigue of Horus is gone. I can’t fault this book because it’s par for what I expected going into this series. ![]() Much better than False Gods, still short of Horus Rising ![]() ![]() Down from the attic came the very dusty box of typed and handwritten papers and I set to work. That's when I had the idea of putting the story online for free and asking children to illustrate it. There it stayed for over a decade, and there it would probably be still if the COVID-19 pandemic hadn't happened and millions of children hadn't been stuck at home, unable to attend school or meet their friends. After I finished the Harry Potter books, I took a five-year break, and when I decided not to publish a children's book next, The Ickabog went up into the attic, still unfinished. Well, I won't say how, in case you're coming to it for the first time! I read the story aloud to my two youngest children when they were very small, but I never finished it, much to the frustration of Mackenzie, whose favorite story it was. The story never underwent any serious modifications. What do the monsters we conjure tell us about ourselves? What must happen for evil to get a grip on a person, or on a country, and what does it take to defeat it? Why do people choose to believe lies even on scant or nonexistent evidence? The Ickabog was written in fits and starts between Harry Potter books. ![]() The word "Ickabog" derives from "Ichabod," meaning "no glory" or "the glory has departed." I think you'll understand why I chose the name once you've read the story, which deals with themes that have always interested me. The idea for The Ickabog came to me a long time ago. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a thoughtful, thorough, and rigorous argument that nevertheless has an accessible style. it remains to be seen where the debate goes next, but wherever it goes, future discussion will need to engage with the work of Elizabeth Barnes. Barnes has brought a new level of precision to a popular slogan and has then set about defending it with all the familiar tools of contemporary analytic philosophy. ( Elena Fell and Natalia Lukianova, The Philosophical Quarterly)Įlizabeth Barnes has written an interesting and important book about disability. ( Tessa-May Zirnsak, Metapsychology Online Reviews)Įlizabeth Barnes' new book offers a much-needed philosophical discussion of disability capitalizing on relevant research in bioethics, feminist philosophy and disability studies. I would enthusiastically recommend this text to anyone interested in disability and philosophy, and especially to those new to philosophy. I am happy to unequivocally say that this text makes a fascinating and groundbreaking contribution to feminist and disability philosophy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As if a conventionally “pretty” girl isn’t deep enough to be interested in the darker shades of human nature, not without the trappings of Goth makeup or studded clothing. “But you’re so pretty!” they exclaim, physically reeling back as if I’d slapped them. Oftentimes, when I tell people I write horror novels for young people, their immediate reaction is this sort of scrunched-face shock, their eyebrows ramming together like two bucks going antlers-down in spring, mouths pursing. I live in a very conservative area of the country (Utah). In light of the Stoker nomination and the fact that today is the last day of Women in Horror Month (#WiHM), I wanted to talk in brief about the history of women in the horror genre, and the frustrations of writing horror while female. Thank you, members of the HWA! I’m so grateful to you for your support, and I’m thrilled to be a Bram Stoker Award-nominated author. It’s a great honor, and I’ve seen SHUTTER appearing on sites all over the web because of the nod. Last week, SHUTTER was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award from the Horror Writers’ Association. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nisha can’t understand why the people she has always known are now labeled by their religion and are suddenly people she shouldn’t like. ![]() They make it very clear how children suffer from societal conflict and violence. Nisha’ s diary entries to her mother are beautiful and filled with pain. The family, including their elderly grandmother, make a treacherous journey on foot to the border, nearly dying of thirst along the way. ![]() The children are half Hindu and half Muslim, and when the violent events around Partition occurred, their father decides it’s too dangerous for them to remain in Pakistan. The setting is India, recently divided into India and Pakistan in 1947. It’s written as a series of diary entries/ letters from 12 year old Nisha to her mother, who died when Nisha and her twin brother Amil were born. This book was recommended to me by a patron, and I loved it. ![]() |
