![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In their introduction Mark Philp and Frederick Rosen set the essays in the context of Mill's other works, and argue that his conviction in the importance of the development of human character in its full diversity provides the core to his liberalism and to any defensible account of the value of liberalism to the modern world.įor over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. These essays are central to the liberal tradition, but their interpretation and how we should understand their connection with each other are both contentious. They have formed the basis for many of the political institutions of the West since the late nineteenth century, tackling as they do the appropriate grounds for protecting individual liberty, the basic principles of ethics, the benefits and the costs of representative institutions, and the central importance of gender equality in society. ![]() Mill's four essays, 'On Liberty', 'Utilitarianism', 'Considerations on Representative Government', and 'The Subjection of Women' examine the most central issues that face liberal democratic regimes - whether in the nineteenth century or the twenty-first.

I adored it and so did tons of other readers. The first story was one of those novels that combined all sorts of unusual elements (the Marines, Afghanistan, deployment, a unique shifter mate bond) and pulled them all together in a powerful story and beginning of a first series. ![]() In the battle’s aftermath, Terrell and Kai are drawn together in passion, hoping it’s not the final chance to mark their claims.įirst off let me say that I love this series and its author Kendall McKenna. Terrell is torn between his ferocious loyalty to his True Alpha, and his new but powerful feelings for Kai. In the chaos of a surprise attack Kai shows poor judgement, driving a wedge between Terrell and him, and landing Kai on the True Alpha’s bad side. His entire world felt perfect though, each time they came together to mark and claim one another. Terrell is thrown completely off balance by the strength of their mutual attraction and the intensity of their passion. During a mission, he meets Staff Sergeant Kai Thayer, Pack Leader of the Camp Fallujah sippe. Terrell Hubbard, decorated Marine sergeant, proudly serves as Beta wolf to his True Alpha and Dominant. ![]() ![]() Though this book is ostensibly marketed to YA/MG readers, I think it is ultimately more suitable for younger readers. There are no surprising plot twists or complexities to make the reading experience a rich and multi-layered one. As I said before the book is breezy both in tone and execution. ![]() ![]() ![]() So…Camellia is busy what with stopping her adopted mother from taking over the…city and saving the boy she may like. Oh and Camellia also has to figure out how to uproot the demon from the boy-band boy before boy’s soul has been consumed by said demon and he can no longer go back to his boy-band ways. Because in three days, a phoenix is going to erupt at Camellia’s high school (where else?) and the witch has plans to harness the power given off by the phoenix-explosion to change things around their town by getting herself elected as mayor. The demon has a window of 3 or so days within which to complete the missions given to him by the witch and which he is contractually bound to complete. The summoned demon makes his escape into the body of the hapless boy-band boy who has the misfortune to be present when he is. When Camellia’s adopted mother who is a witch by profession attempts to seal a demon she has summoned into a mannequin, things, due to goat blood actually being cow blood, go awry. ![]() Tina Connolly’s Seriously Wicked is a breezy supernatural story about a girl, her adopted witch-mother, and coming to terms with your heritage, warty though it may be (just kidding, warts do not make an appearance in this novel). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It might have been that I went in with lower expectations, it might have been because of different reasons, but I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. Hence the reason I’ve been posponing my own experience with this title until there was hardly time left before the publish date. And as the mixed reviews for Bring Me Back started coming in, I was getting more worried about my own reaction. Because let’s face it: popular books and me don’t exactly have an optimal relationship. While I was stoked to be able to receive a copy early, I was also worried about the possible consequences of such a popular title. ![]() Thank you! ***īring Me Back has to be one of the most hyped psychological thriller releases this year. Martin’s Press in exchange for an honest review. *** A copy of this book was kindly provided to me by Netgalley and St. “But there is only silence, and the dust of hopes never fulfilled, taunting me with what could have been, if only I’d acted differently.” 2023 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.2017 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge. ![]() ![]() Noteworthy for Marvel historians and trivia collectors: this volume includes Greer Nelson’s transformation from her original heroic identity the Cat to her now more familiar form of Tigra. A real shame as, when it’s good, it’s really good. The book is blighted by constantly changing writers and artists, which leads to plot threads being forgotten about, characters just vanishing without explanation and generally jarring stories. It’s not as great as it could have been thanks to the curse that plagued Marvel throughout the ‘70s: inconsistency. On his eighteenth birthday, Jack Russell (I know, I know.) finds himself cursed to turn into a werewolf every full moon and from there the howl-worthy misadventures begin. ![]() This is a really fun book, particularly if you’re a fan of the cheesy horror b-movies of yesteryear (I know I am). These horror books have been one of the few gaps in my Marvel collection addiction for decades so I’ve decided to do something about this, starting with Werewolf By Night. ![]() Marvel exploited the slackening of the Comics Code in the ‘70s by releasing a wave of horror titles. ![]() |
