Don’t miss this exhilarating crime thriller-perfect for fans of Criminal Minds and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder-from Jennifer Lynn Barnes, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Inheritance Games. Seventeen-year-old Cassie is a natural at reading people. Anxiety protects us from harm in the face of danger, but false alarms are inevitable. Instead of asking why certain people suffer from mental illness, Nesse asks why natural selection has left us all with fragile minds.ĭrawing on revealing stories from his own clinical practice and insights from evolutionary biology, Nesse shows how negative emotions are useful in certain situations, yet can become excessive. Now he returns with a book that transforms our understanding of mental disorders by exploring a fundamentally new question. Randolph Nesse helped to establish the field of evolutionary medicine. With his classic book Why We Get Sick, Dr. A founder of the field of evolutionary medicine uses his decades of experience as a psychiatrist to provide a much-needed new framework for making sense of mental illness. Quills by Doug Wright6/22/2023 It is not recommended for those with delicate Religious Beliefs. Doug Wrights raffish new comedy, part theater of the ridiculous. Quills is meant for Mature Audiences Only, and will feature Male Nudity, Adult Language, Situations, and Themes. After confiscating the Marquis quills and paper, the Abbe de Coulmier is surprised. The film was critically acclaimed, earning Rush a BAFTA, Golden Globe, and Academy Award nomination for his performance as the Marquis.ĭue to its graphic adult content, intense subject matter, and provocative language and situations, this production will be held for a limited run, with only 4 public performances. Quills was adapted into a feature film in 2000 starring Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet, and Michael Caine. The Marquis, to say the least, was a polarizing figure, who spent the better part of his adult life in prisons and asylums throughout France due to his pension for writing macabre stories fraught with pornography, violence, and some of the most extreme aspects of human behavior. “In order to know virtue, we must first acquaint ourselves with vice.” Join us as we present a brutal and provocative retelling of the infamous life and death of renowned libertine and author, Donatien Alphonse François, aka the Marquis de Sade. While a prominent motif in his writing is the reexamination of artistic history, it does not exclusively define his work.

Excerpt from Dawn-Thought on the Reconciliation: A Volume of Pantheistic Impressions and Glimpses of Larger Religion Gobsmacked by L.B. Gregg6/21/2023 What worked for me (and what didn’t): Anyone who’s ever read a book by LB Gregg before will know she has a quirky sense of humour – so it ought not be a surprise that the “meet cute” here is when Sam, his butt hanging out of his ripped jeans (argument with a fence), has his arm stuck in the after hours book return slot at the local library, meets Aaron, who appears to be a thief and has a bag of handy lock-picks tries to get him out. But that might not be the only thing he’s after. From the library, to the historical society, to my own backyard, Aaron leaves no stone unturned or record book unopened. But now I can’t stop wondering why he’s searching in secret. He blew into town and has been relentless in his search for…something. Signed up for the class is our new guest, Aaron Saunders, a Californian transplant who’s distractingly handsome and clearly up to no good. Granddad is even now rolling in his grave. We’ve started a series of blind-date cooking classes, and taken on our first boarder. What it’s about: (from Goodreads) With our family’s legacy, Meyers B&B, in the flailing hands of me, Sam Meyers, and my sister Wynne, we’re determined to revive the place. I was provided with a review copy by the publisher via NetGalley. Why I read it: I’ve read and enjoyed the earlier books and was happily surprised to see a brand new story in the series.

Ogre enchanted by gail carson levine6/21/2023 Ogre Enchanted begins with a young healer called Evie who is rushing off to help a giant who has potentially been fatally wounded when her best friend begins his proposal. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to receive an advanced readers copy from Lili UtopiaStateofMind as part of her ARC adoption project and I couldn’t be more grateful to her for it especially as this is a book that I did end up deeply enjoying spending my time with. How could I not want to read a second book set in the world of Ella Enchanted? Already I was anticipating some callbacks to the original novel. I’ve always been a major fan of Ella Enchanted, both the book and the film (which are both vastly different on a rather large number of levels, so if you’ve only ever bothered with one, I definitely suggest checking out the other since they both have their merits) and so when I first learned that there was going to be a prequel, I kind of lost my mind with excitement. The rumor hilderbrand6/21/2023 “A lot of those sad stories you hear about are really the product of parents who pushed their kids into the business,” she told Fox News. She eventually quit TV and became an acting teacher who discourages her students from chasing the spotlight. Though she struggled with fame, Olsen said she was able to maintain a relatively normal childhood thanks to her supportive and responsible parents. … It made me feel like Paul McCartney because it was at the same time that there were rumors that Paul McCartney was dead.” “There were always rumors that I was dead. “That’s pretty much a fabrication,” Olsen told Fox News. The former child actor explained that at least one media outlet erroneously reported her death decades ago after confusing her with another little girl named Susan Olsen who died in a schoolbus accident. While speaking with Fox News, Olsen shut down another long-standing rumor. On March 8, 1974, a sitcom that had rated no higher than 20th place during its five-year run aired its final episode.
