I’ll be honest, the first chapter of this book hooked me, but it also gutted me. ![]() In the first chapter she has dumped the guy and hopes that will be enough to get her friends back, but instead she is doused with a fresh batch of nasty biphobia. She was always out as bisexual, but once she started dating a guy, her former friends froze her out. Not Otherwise Specified opens with our main character Etta desperately trying to get back on the good side of her girl clique, the Disco Dykes. ![]() Wow, did I ever LOVE Not Otherwise Specified by bisexual author Hannah Moskowitz! Not just because there is an absolute lack of ya books where black bisexual women struggling with mental health issues are the stars of the show, but also because this book broke my heart, taped it back together, made me laugh, and had me on the edge of my seat with ALL THE FEELS. A hot, hip, and refreshing bisexual must-read!! ![]() ![]() The unrest of the 1960s brought about the invention of the SWAT unit-which in turn led to the debut of military tactics in the ranks of police officers. Today's armored-up policemen are a far cry from the constables of early America. ![]() The consequences have been dire: the home is no longer a place of sanctuary, the Fourth Amendment has been gutted, and police today have been conditioned to see the citizens they serve as an other-an enemy.

As a result, our country has generally worked to keep the military out of law enforcement. ![]() ![]() The last days of colonialism taught America's revolutionaries that soldiers in the streets bring conflict and tyranny.

Jaswal delivers sharp insights into Singapore society through the eyes of those it classifies as foreign. It reflects the uneasy dynamic that exists in many Singapore households, where you share a living space with someone who you might say is part of the family, but who, at the end of the day, is a paid employee. “I just want to do my job, not go out and share my life with you,” she says. ![]() ![]() The novel features a spectrum of employers, from the abusive Mrs Fann to Cora’s kindly boss Elizabeth Lee, who is highly solicitous of Cora’s welfare, though the lack of boundaries between them makes Cora uncomfortable. This enables her to pack scenes with vivid details, from the balikbayan boxes that Filipina workers fill with gifts to send home, to the factory where Donita’s agency deploys her illegally to wash mushrooms. ![]() ![]() ![]() The pair became legendary lovers, but their relationship was plagued by complications and tragedies, as is typical in Greek mythology. ![]() In mythology, Adonis was a youth so beautiful that even the goddess of love herself, Aphrodite, could not resist him.

She was born at some point, and has human-looking but rather odd relatives. Who Mary Poppins is, is quite clear she is Mary Poppins. Mary Poppins and the children interact, something quite extraordinary happens, and at the end of the chapter Mary Poppins pretends no such shenanigans took place. It reads more like a series of short stories that happen to have a narrative arc than a novel. This 1935 sequel to the beloved children’s classic is more of the same. ![]() ![]() Michael flies a kite, and somehow when the string is reeled in, Mary Poppins is at the other end!

Book Review: Mary Poppins Comes Back by P.L. ![]() ![]() ![]() He has no emotions, no sex drive, no sense of humour, no sensual pleasures, no habits or hobbies or hopes or human flaws of any kind. However you imagine a handsome pirate looks, that's how he looks. Why did he become a pirate? Because Crichton required one. Every plan he makes is based on the assumption that he can't lose. The hero is a suicidally stupid but unbelievably lucky pirate, Captain Charles Hunter.
