Praise for Mess " Mess is incredible and offers a fun and safe form of stress relief through destruction. It's damn liberating." - Wanders in Whim "Keri Smith's books encourage freehand art exploration and teach artists that accidents and experimentation can yield amazing and unexpected results." -The Carle Museum "Two things I love about Keri and her approach: 1) Keri is permission: to break away from my usual linear self and send it on vacation. 2) Keri is encouragement: to create what she calls a 'habit of experimentation' which can be so beneficial in living a full, creative life (and in learning new ways to tell our stories with words and photos)." -Ali Edwards, author of Life Artist "Once you get going, the book really becomes a source of liberation it frees you to make a mess, stop thinking about the outcome and just enjoy the process. ![]() ![]() Their goal is to re-balance the courts after there was a flurry of judicial appointments made by Republicans during the Trump era. So for Democrats, the one thing they can do in this moment is to try and appoint federal judges, a process that does not involve the House at all. And there’s no real hope of passing meaningful legislation. And this matters because the Committee is very important, especially in a moment when the government is divided. ![]() So the Judiciary Committee is facing a crisis and could come to a complete standstill soon if she doesn’t return. Today, my colleague Annie Karni on the growing political crisis surrounding Senator Dianne Feinstein.Īnnie, tell us about the drama that’s been unfolding inside this really crucial corner of the US Senate for Democrats, which is the Senate Judiciary Committee.

There was no traumatic childhood experience that set them off. "I can’t tell you the exact moment the night terrors started. In fact, chapter one is a rather long poetic introspection from Abigail, our female protagonist, during which she rambles about nightmares, darkness, and men who do bad things. One of the notable aspects of the book was the poetic "purple" prose, written almost in stanza format, making allusions at something which one would imagine was a thrilling suspenseful plot. ![]() Much like post-2010 Kanye West songs *I Am a God? Really, Kanye?* this book was pretentious not to mention melodramatic. Imagine then my surprise at finding that I'm part of only 1 percent of reviewers who hated disliked this story.Įxcept I can't in good conscience say that. I wish I didn't have to be the bearer of such sad news, but honestly, this was a clusterfuck of good plot done badly. ![]() ![]() He’s distant and mean, and begins a campaign to make Tate’s life miserable until she takes a year away from her high school to study abroad in Europe.

I was intrigued when I realized the vote was close, so I knew I’d have to give this book a try. ![]() Privately, I’ve dubbed Hoover “The Queen of New Adult Fiction.”Ī couple of weeks ago, I was surfing around Facebook and came upon a fan voting site which pitted Hoover’s Hopeless against a title I’d never encountered: Bully by Penelope Douglas. Since then, I’ve read scores of “New Adult” novels but Hoover’s Hopeless has remained at the top of my list of favorites. I fell in love with the characters and the story, and it opened up a whole new world of writing style for me that I didn’t know existed. ![]() It was the first title I’d ever read in the new category dubbed as “New Adult.” It was a cross between Young Adult Fiction, with characters in their late teens, and Adult Fiction because it included themes that were a bit too intense for the under-18 crowd. A couple of years ago I read a book by Colleen Hoover entitled Hopeless. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lupin tackles the case of the Imberts' safe, one of his first major criminal enterprises (" Le Coffre-Fort de Mme Imbert " in in Arsène Lupin, Gentleman-Cambrioleur ).

It usually happens when Mia feels something - when somebody leaves some impact. We get purple for present and blue for the past. The story starts with only two and both of them are cold. I love how the scarce usage of colours left me wondering about the meaning of each of them. This simplicity gives every detail much more impact and keeps the focus on all the intense emotions. The art is simple but not lazy or boring. This story made me feel things I didn't know I could feel. Every part is unique, but they're all connected. They interwind and finally merge together. So, there're two stories: Mia and her chosen family on the ship and Mia and Grace. But the story is not linear - it also takes us 5 years back to Mia experiencing her first love. ![]() Mia begins her adult life and gets a job in reconstruction with a small team which consist of two married women, a niece of one of them, and a non-binary person. ![]() ![]() About how I should think of all the circuits and wires like they're roads.

Since the Ingalls family didn’t live in Burr Oak for very long, there aren’t many artifacts in the museum relating to Laura’s life. The family worked in the hotel after leaving Walnut Grove after the grasshopper plagues, and Grace was born while they were in Burr Oak. ![]() The Ingalls family lived here 1876-1877, so they weren’t in Burr Oak for very long. Since the Ingalls family moved around pretty often, some of the sites were more significant than others, so if you’re looking for Laura Ingalls Wilder homes to visit, these are my recommendations!Īfter we visited Decorah, Iowa, we stopped by Burr Oak to visit the Masters Hotel. ![]() The whole inspiration behind my Iowa road trip was to visit Laura Ingalls Wilder’s homes in the area!
