Truth be told, at this point, I need a starting place for A TON of authors in this genre that I’ve found. ![]() I’m talking about Ruth Ware’s debut novel In a Dark, Dark Wood. This is the perfect read for a warm summer night in the countryside. I needed a starting place and In a Dark, Dark Wood was the undeniable, common denominator among the thriller, suspense genre. Review: In a Dark, Dark Wood AugLiterary Elephant 11 Comments Today I have for you my hands-down favorite summer read so far. ![]() I’m sure being apart of Reese Witherspoon’s Book Club doesn’t hurt. Those that had just read Ruth Ware’s latest book Turn of the Key, and didn’t know where to go next? Both had all directed me to this title. Veterans recommended In a Dark, Dark Wood. But I’m determined that it will.Īs I talked to long-time Ruth Ware readers and new Ruth Ware readers (like myself), I noticed one commonality. Continuing in Ruth Ware’s participation in my Fling Extravaganzas, like 2019, her new book One by One is apart of this year’s Spring/Summer Fling 2020.Īdditionally, In A Dark, Dark Woods is apart of my Back List titles challenge. As Everyone knows, last summer I became a huge fan of Ruth Ware (and am now complete trash for the Adult Psychological Thriller category/genre) when I read Ruth Ware’s latest book Turn of the Key in five hours flat (review is linked).

Thank god I haven’t read a lot of these books but I hear people talk about this a lot and I have seen it. When it’s a plot point that saves the toxic relationship or causes drama/ tension in a hostage situation where the couple is seperated.I wouldn’t have minded this one honestly in tfota because we already had the forced marriage + teenage soulmate couple tropes and we loved it so I feel like if you’re into that, you’re into the epilogue baby. It feels like a rushed and predictable afterthought like oh yeah then they skipped into the sunset and she was preggers, it was great. When it’s The Happy Ending at the end of a novel, especially with a young female character. ![]() ![]() There are instances that for me it feel tropeish: Pregnancy is a very common thing that happens to a lot of people, not every pregnancy in fiction can be labelled as a trope □ Please don’t make me go into trope discourse but Jude being pregnant in The Prisoner’s Throne would not be the pregnancy trope □ ![]() 6/3/2023 0 Comments The woman between us![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Entering into a marriage changes the legal status of both parties and gives both husband and wife new rights and obligations. The Supreme Court has held that states are permitted to reasonably regulate the institution by prescribing who is allowed to marry and how the marriage can be dissolved. Marriage is chiefly regulated by the states. ![]() Today, the underlying concept that marriage is a legal contract still remains, but due to changes in society the legal obligations are not the same. The wife's obligations were maintaining a home, living in the home, having sexual relations with her husband, and rearing the couple's children. Traditionally, the husband had a duty to provide a safe house, pay for necessities such as food and clothing, and live in the house. Marriage was viewed as the basis of the family unit and vital to the preservation of morals and civilization. In the English common law tradition from which our legal doctrines and concepts have developed, a marriage was a contract based upon a voluntary private agreement by a man and a woman to become husband and wife. Marriage is the legal union of a couple as spouses. The basic elements of a marriage are: (1) the parties' legal ability to marry each other, (2) mutual consent of the parties, and (3) a marriage contract as required by law. ![]() 6/3/2023 0 Comments Lower ed tressie![]() ![]() ![]() There was the for-profit college in high-end Southpark that only offered graduate degrees in business and technology.

I remember many of those students-their stories, their struggles, their daily successes-but Jason is the student who most changed my life.

McCloud shows his reader how to master the human condition through word and image in a brilliantly minimalistic way. Now, in Making Comics, McCloud focuses his analysis on the art form itself, exploring the creation of comics, from the broadest principles to the sharpest details (like how to accentuate a character's facial muscles in order to form the emotion of disgust rather than the emotion of surprise.) And he does all of it in his inimitable voice and through his cartoon stand-in narrator, mixing dry humor and legitimate instruction. ![]() In Reinventing Comics, McCloud took this to the next level, charting twelve different revolutions in how comics are generated, read, and perceived today. "Scott McCloud tore down the wall between high and low culture in 1993 with Understanding Comics, a massive comic book about comics, linking the medium to such diverse fields as media theory, movie criticism, and web design. ![]() |
