I honestly could've made a drinking game out of the book: I hated the shoddy writing and lack of plot. Hate to break it to you, sweetie, I don't care what he is - no one is perfect. And, on top of all that, she described Edward as "perfect". I found that the only character I liked was Rosalie and that was because she hated Bella. She was spineless, depressed, and treated herself like a "little woman". I named my dog Bella just because I disliked her so much. No matter how hard I tried, I pictured some girl with red hair and obsessive personality disorder. He wasn't a man to me, I couldn't picture him as a man. manly? Not like some possessive, always depressed, stick-up-his-ass glittery fairy princess. I don't know about anyone else, but I like my male characters to act. I finished the whole series in a week (yes, I skipped a few chapters and the majority of New Moon & Breaking Dawn). ![]() ![]() ![]() Many details of Maier's life remain unknown. Her life and work have been the subject of books and documentary films, including the film Finding Vivian Maier (2013), which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature at the 87th Academy Awards. Maier's work subsequently attracted critical acclaim, and since then, Maier's photographs have been exhibited around the world. In October 2009, Maloof linked his blog to a selection of Maier's photographs on the image-sharing website Flickr, and the results went viral, with thousands of people expressing interest. Maier's photographs were first published on the Internet in July 2008, by Slattery, but the work received little response. A Chicago collector, John Maloof, acquired some of Maier's photos in 2007, while two other Chicago-based collectors, Ron Slattery and Randy Prow, also found some of Maier's prints and negatives in her boxes and suitcases around the same time. She took more than 150,000 photographs during her lifetime, primarily of the people and architecture of Chicago, New York City, and Los Angeles, although she also traveled and photographed worldwide.ĭuring her lifetime, Maier's photographs were unknown and unpublished many of her negatives were never printed. ![]() Maier worked for about forty years as a nanny, mostly in Chicago's North Shore, pursuing photography during her spare time.

As with all Aboriginal art, each viewer will take something different away from it, depending on their own experiences of life and the country in Australia. In reading Mullumbimby, I had the distinct impression of a novel written for an Indigenous audience, first and foremost. This is mirrored in the parallel story of Twoboy and Laz, a couple of brothers who are pursuing a native title claim, single-mindedly trying to prove traditional ownership of their own ancestral lands. The novel depicts the conflict between urban cosmopolitanism and life on the land, between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and between traditional and contemporary beliefs. The tone is richly descriptive, evoking the fierce sense of belonging that Jo feels now that she has returned to country.Ī central theme of Mullumbimby is the duality of modern life. She is a strong, intelligent figure: sharp and funny, with a measured cynicism towards the hippies, tourists and tree-changers who people the area. Jo, recently divorced, moves to an old farm in the Byron Bay hinterland – the Bundjalung land of her ancestors. ![]() Melissa Lucashenko’s latest novel depicts life as equal parts cheerful and heartbreaking, mundane and back-breakingly hard. ![]() ![]() ![]() The unanimous verdict awarded $1 million to her husband for his losses, and $9.4 million to the client.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? I think the narrator totally captured his character's mischievous sparkle. His character in the book just shone, and when he would say something, you knew it was him before they said it was. Well, other than the main 2, I really enjoyed Crockett. Which character ? as performed by Pilar Witherspoon ? was your favorite? This one was great, and probably ties with my favorite "To Win Her Heart." Karen Witemeyer's other books are probably the best comparisons. What other book might you compare Short-Straw Bride to and why? There's just so much to consider in this book. The multiple side characters were developed as well as the 2 main ones, and I'm all about characters in a story.
