Well my furry friends, I could not be more wrong! In fact I remember it being pretty bloody boring to tell you the truth.

Great job yet again, can't wait to listen to more from him □ □ Audiobook Obsession Reviewer - Flock Team □ ![]() I thought the hurt and nervousness he exuded in some scenes as Kian were superb too. I really loved his narration of Preston, he totally captured him how I imagined him in my mind. I was a tad worried about Gregory Salinas having to go back and forth with the various accents but he did a great job. I also loved how we got some cameos from other books and that this is all the shared world of Alstone. I felt for Kian so much in this one because of his family situation and Preston having to deal with Kian's antics was tough to read and listen to but Preston isn't a pushover and wouldn't take it for very long. We get to see Preston and Kian at odds with one another, see their instant attraction, and get to see them realize and act on their feelings. Becca has been giving us some great enemies to lovers and bully romances and this one kinda toes the line of both. I loved it then, my guilty pleasure is totally M/M romance (all kinds!) and this first M/M romance by Becca Steele was amazing and I wish there was more! Kian and Preston are a fun couple to see the walls come crumbling down between them. I read this ebook when it was in the anthology waaaay back in the day haha (I also helped name the book so its near and dear to my heart ❤️). ![]() ![]() ![]() Rush Limbaugh tells his listeners that “Milton Friedman should be the Bible for young people, or anybody, trying to understand capitalism and free markets.” Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, celebrates Hayek and Friedman in his book, while Ben Shapiro holds up Friedman as a conservative icon in National Review.īut what then are the liberty and freedom that conservatives celebrate? And does capitalism advance or restrain them?įreedom is regarded so highly because in a way it contains all the pleasures of life - it’s the ability to do what you want, within the limits of material conditions and a human lifespan. Milton Friedman’s Capitalism and Freedom and Friedrich Hayek’s The Road to Serfdom are still featured on Breitbart’s online bookstore. For all the changes of the last fifty years, the conservative classics have held their place surprisingly well. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Your mind wavers, and its agitation will find relief in the exercise of simple memories.

The title of the novel refers, among other things, to the finding of the first murder victim in the Grand Gallery of the Louvre, naked and posed similar to Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing, the Vitruvian Man, with a cryptic message written beside his body and a pentacle drawn on his chest in his own blood. It follows symbologist Robert Langdon and cryptologist Sophie Neveu after a murder in the Louvre Museum in Paris, when they become involved in a battle between the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei over the possibility of Jesus Christ having been a companion to Mary Magdalene. The Da Vinci Code is a 2003 mystery-detective novel by Dan Brown. Another heart warming thriller written by none other than Dan Brown. ![]() ![]() Q: "Like A Mother" supposes that more widespread knowledge of the science of pregnancy, which your book notes has been limited until very recently to studies done by white men and kept within medical communities rather than the women they serve, would contribute to a more feminist, inclusive culture of pregnancy leading to better outcomes for both mother and child. You can catch Angela, a Seattle-based writer and mother of two, at Town Hall Seattle in conversation with Lindy West on June 13 or Third Place Books Seward Park on July 18. This empowering read and the potent research inside it is the pro-mom manifesto that at last gives pregnant women a seat at the table and affirms what mothers have known all along: that we know best. ![]() ![]() ![]() With wit and candor, Angela Garbes debut book "Like a Mother: A Feminist Journey Through the Science and Culture of Pregnancy" delivers a deeply stirring, unapologetically honest and long overdue look into the experience of pregnancy and the arcane science behind it. ![]() |
