I just turned on my torch and went looking. There was a lot of mould growing up in the downstairs corridor, and it freaked me out. I checked the door, and sure enough, it was open, but I didn’t want to go in, I really didn’t. I know it sounds stupid to be talking about this in a statement, but I just - I just needed to know - to know if he was ok. I went to his house right after that, and I knocked on the door. And there was just a moment where - there was this look on his face, like he was teasing me, and I-I did it. He was thirteen too, and I remember it like it was yesterday - it was summer, he was smoking a pipe, and we were on the grass, talking about whatever. When I was thirteen, I kissed a friend of mine.

Since then, her only contact with the town has been her sporadic calls to her abusive, reclusive father. One could easily see Ritter playing the part of her heroine, Chicago lawyer Abby Williams, whose return to Barrens, Ind., brings back the bad memories and fears she had growing up there.Ībby left Barrens a decade ago, right after high school graduation. As an actress, Krysten Ritter has been building a solid career playing characters on the edge - the doomed Jane in “Breaking Bad,” the lead in “Don’t Trust the B- in Apartment 23” and especially her role in “Jessica Jones” and the same role in “The Defenders.”Īs an author, Ritter brings that same unconventional, edgy approach to her engrossing suspense novel, “Bonfire.” Deliciously moody with a noirish undertone, “Bonfire” ignites a first-rate mystery resplendent with shadowy scenery, a tight plot and a lead character who is both fragile and strong. 5/10/2023 0 Comments Things you save in a fireKatherine Center's Things You Save in a Fire is a heartfelt, affecting novel about life, love, and the true meaning of courage.īookPage calls Katherine Center “the reigning queen of comfort reads.” She's the New York Times bestselling author of eight books, including How to Walk Away, Things You Save in a Fire, and What You Wish For. Cassie can feel her resolve slipping.but will she jeopardize her place in a career where she's worked so hard to be taken seriously? And because of the advice her old captain gave her: don't date firefighters. Except for the handsome rookie, who doesn't seem to mind having Cassie around. Hazing, a lack of funding, and poor facilities mean that the firemen aren't exactly thrilled to have a "lady" on the crew, even one as competent and smart as Cassie. The tough, old-school Boston firehouse is as different from Cassie's old job as it could possibly be. But when her estranged and ailing mother asks her to uproot her life and move to Boston, it's an emergency of a kind Cassie never anticipated. As one of the only female firefighters in her Texas firehouse, she's seen her fair share of them, and she's excellent at dealing with other people's tragedies. They show a Marilyn Monroe unsparing in her analysis of her own life, but also playful, funny, and impossibly charming. Jotted in notebooks, typed on paper, or written on hotel letterhead, these texts reveal a woman who loved deeply and strove to perfect her craft. Fragments is an unprecedented collection of written artifacts-notes to herself, letters, even poems-in Marilyn's own handwriting, never before published, along with rarely seen intimate photos. Now, for the first time, readers can meet the private Marilyn and understand her in a way we never have before. Her serious gifts as an actor were sometimes eclipsed by her notoriety-and by the way the camera fell helplessly in love with her.īeyond the headlines-and the too-familiar stories of heartbreak and desolation-was a woman far more curious, searching, witty, and hopeful than the one the world got to know. Every word and gesture made headlines and garnered controversy. Marilyn's image is so universal that we can't help but believe we know all there is to know of her. Fragments is an event-an unforgettable book that will redefine one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century and that, nearly fifty years after her death, will definitively reveal Marilyn Monroe's humanity. Tit 1:16 They profess that they know God but in works they deny him, being abominable, (disgusting detestable) and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Tit 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure but even their mind (thoughts feelings will intellect) and conscience (judgment of right and wrong) is defiled. Expository or systematic teaching is explaining scripture verse by verse and exegesis is to explore the meaning of the text which then leads to discovering its significance or relevance.Ĭol 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,Ĭol 2:19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

The musicianship, I feel, gets unfairly overlooked. From 1989 to 2009, he fronted Silver Jews, the band he formed with Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich. His lyrics were cryptic, but honest, as if bearing his soul with the wittiest rhyming couplets possible. Berman was a singer-songwriter whose gift for gallows humour was a superpower. In August 2019, Berman died by suicide aged 52, a few days before he was scheduled for his first live show since 2009. Those gloomy verses are even gloomier now. On “ All My Happiness Is Gone”: “I keep stressing, pressing on / Way down deep at some substratum / Feels like something really wrong has happened / And I confess, I’m barely hanging on.” “And housed within the song’s design / Is the ghost the host has left behind.” The indie band’s self-titled record, which came out last month, houses other haunting lines within its design. “Songs build little rooms in time,” David Berman crooned on what would be the first and final Purple Mountains album. 5/9/2023 0 Comments Monster by C.J. SkuseWhen I strip away all those frivolous reasons for writing books – reviews, fame, dosh - that’s the reason I write. We need to send out the Dahlian message to our angry girl readers: you are not alone. That’s why we need stressed-out, angry teenage girls in YA fiction to mirror real life. Interestingly, it’s nearly always social media, rather than family or friends, playing therapist. Ninety percent of the 12-18 year-old-girls analysed had experienced stress in the past year, with seven in 10 cases leading to illness over exams and peer pressure. Last year, the National Citizen’s Service’s stress study found that teen girls are more susceptible to stress than boys. I’m in my 30s now and though my capacity to handle anger is the best it’s ever been, in my teens it almost drowned me. I guess I write to understand why that is. From driving to shopping to grammatical mistakes, the world is constantly out to get me. Lay the foundation now-whether you’ve met your future spouse or not-for a lifelong romance.
