Jones, so so sorry.” (Sapphire 17) When no one was there for her, that nurse was. Only being 16 and having had a second child. Precious’ self-esteem may be have been low, due to the fact that her mother didn’t care about her life others parents did, but it was showing a little more and more each day. Life at home may have been hard but when she got to school, this was one of the few classes she looked forward to. It’s a place she feels comfortable being. I like maff class.”(Sapphire (Precious) 7). Being confronted about it wasn’t that much fun either. Not only that, but Precious was pregnant again. Facing her mother’s abuse everyday, and going to school and being picked on wasn’t easy. There is never a right time for self esteem to just pop up. Precious hasn’t realized the real definition of self esteem just yet. Flawless, gorgeous, worthy, happy… But creating a place doesn’t make it effective. “I……, in my own world, I am so pretty, like a advertisement girl on commercial…(Sapphire (Precious) 35) Precious, in her head, created a world where she was who she wanted to be. She dreams of success, love, being happy, etc. ![]() ![]() ![]() Precious has dreams just like everyone else. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Franny jd salinger![]() ![]() ![]() They appear to be the perfect couple, but as they struggle to communicate with each other about the things they really care about, slowly their true feelings come to the surface.

Strobel begins The Case for Christ by examining pre-determinations in a courtroom, and how evidence and fact, objective in itself, can be manipulated or used to push even skewed narratives. It has been read, re-read, reviewed, and revised. ![]() First published nearly twenty-five years ago, Strobel’s award-winning, multi-million-copies-sold masterpiece has spawned successive books, devotionals, study guides and Bibles, and even a major motion picture. These and analogous questions are central to Lee Strobel’s enduring success The Case for Christ. Did Jesus exist? Is Christianity rational? ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Gallant book review![]() Furthermore the way in which Babe treats the sheep shows that he does not judge others by their appearances. This shows children that we cannot base ideas on people by appearances only. Fly’s assumption that all non canine animals are stupid is quickly disproven once she met Babe. The story deals with a lot of issues that are appropriate to a primary audience. Babe’s journey throughout the book is very enjoyable as the reader wills him on to succeed. Babe then goes about copying Fly’s mannerisms and he is determined to become a sheep pig. Hogget but miraculously Babe escaped! Babe was then adopted by Fly, the sheepdog on the farm. Originally Babe was going to be fattened up by Mrs. Hogget winning a pig at the fair by correctly guessing the pig’s weight. When I was in primary school Babe was the biggest blockbuster film and was extremely popular! I remember our teacher telling us that the film was based on a book and when I read the book that I enjoyed it even more! I was delighted therefore to have the opportunity to revisit one of my favourite childhood stories. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments The perfect daughter dj palmer![]() ![]() Log In to see more information about D.J.

An Earl in Wolf’s Clothing by Emily Windsor ![]() 7/4/2023 0 Comments Defying Logic by Nicky James![]() ![]() All of London, including her father, believe that due to a few kisses with a prince and a dress that made her look enceinte, she’s probably pregnant and definitely disgraced.

He’s Piers Yelverton, the Earl of Marchant, and he practices his snarky, deductive medicine in a huge castle in Wales, but he’s essentially House complete with cane, problematic familial relationships, debilitating pain, and a very nasty tongue.

In the Night Garden is a treat for all who love puzzle stories and the mystical language of talespinners.Carol Berg, author of Daughter of Ancients Fabulous talespinning in the tradition of story cycles such as The Arabian Nights. The dense writing style and complicated structure (a story within a story within a story within a story etc.) made it sometimes challenging for me, an adult, to follow. Praise for In the Night Garden Cathrynne Valente weaves layer upon layer of marvels in her debut novel. I wouldn't recommend this book to teens however, unless they are very advanced readers. I think that the themes of the book are great for young people, particularly that what is different or "monstrous" can be powerful and beautiful and that women have a lot more to do than just be princesses waiting on a prince. It helps that the writing style is so poetic and somewhat oblique. Violence, mutilation, sex, incest and rape all appear in the story, but it is not gratuitous or graphic. ![]() ![]() I wouldn't personally be concerned about giving this to young teens because of subject matter, although I can see why others might be. ![]() ![]() 7/4/2023 0 Comments Remo cora reilly![]() ![]() This is probably the most anticipated book from the Camorra Chronicles since we got a taste of Remo Falcone’s crazy in Bound by Love and Twisted Loyalties.
