• Every book is different as most authors would say and you’ve penned several, from your oldest Vampire Sorority Sisters to your latest Beards and Bondage, which one is the most memorable experience for you? • Most of your books have QPOC, several of them has f/f endgame while some are f/m. It doesn’t have to be same-sex pairing to count as a queer representation. I also noticed that they are always sex positive and very feminist. How vital it is for those intersections to be shown in the text? • There was a heroine trend before where only “good girls” who are sexually clueless could be deserving of love and respect. While you have queer vampire ladies of color, sex worker mc, heroine that has a sugar daddy. They are not afraid to embrace
After reading Stage 2, there has to be a relationship between the epigrah and the girls’ development. The epigraph shows the difficulty of adjusting into the new culture while the girls in stage two shows what each character develop over time while having these kinds of difficulty on their sides.
Around the world there appears to be a common misconception that young adults experiencing the transition of puberty are overly dramatic. Making the transformation from an undeveloped child to a developed young adult can be an extremely confusing and complex time and this sentiment is expressed throughout this poem. A metaphor is described by Sharon Hamilton as when “a word or phrase that in literal use designates one kind of thing is applied to a conspicuously different object, concept, or experience, without asserting an explicit comparison” (35). Sharon Old utilizes this literary device, effectively in her metaphor of mathematics in comparison to a young child discovering adulthood in “The Only Girl at the
Digging into a chapter and realizing that each one is a different event in her life, is thrilling. The reader forms opinions and creates a vision in their mind about the characters and scenery. There are times where I found myself asking questions and wondering what
But, the way the author used symbolism, foreshadowing, and relatable quotes stood out to me the most. When I was reading and even after, I found myself making connections and thinking deeper into the books
Everyone knows about the stroll offs, roll calls, and step shows when an African American Greek sorority or fraternity is the topic. But is that all African American Greeks do is step and stroll?

After all, each and every one of the Dive Nine was founded because differences.
My book Across the Wide and Lonesome Prairie, was writing by Kristina Gregory. I choose this book, because I thought it would be cool to read about a girl traveling the Oregon Trail back in 1847.
It is a hard one. I suppose in terms of the emotions and the fact that it was true to real life in a lot of ways--Beach Lane which came midway through the series and actually involved characters--except for Mick and others who are ongoing--it involves characters we're not even going to see in the TV show at this point. The emotional depth and because of what is going on between those particular characters I thought was a really strong book. The other one, again which we're not going to get to any time soon although it's earlier in the series, is the book in which Mick and Megan finally get back together which was in A Chesapeake Shores Christmas. And I kind of loved the way it all came together. I loved Mick and Megan together. It's one of those things we have to wait and
I chose the book ‘Their Eyes Were Watching God’ from the Big Read Program. According to the Big Read’s webpage, the Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts, Managed by Arts Midwest. This program established in order to restore reading to the American culture center. The Big Read program aims to support creative reading in specific communities. As literary reading started to decline among people, especially the young, the Big read aims to support American literary reading by giving the readers the opportunity to read and discuss their reading within their communities ("The Big Read," n.d.).
I chose the book Lone Survivor By Marcus Luttrell because I heard a few good reviews on the book and I was really interested in the story of Marcus Luttrell. The book was 389 pages. The authors objective was to write a story about what happened in his time a lone surviving in Afghanistan. He wanted to pay respects and remember his fallen brothers. He did do this by telling the reader their lasts moments as a team and as brothers in arms. It put the reader right where he was in every moment.
She overhears Mia talking to Kylie, and she heard that Mia does not like Andrew anymore, but she do like Sofia’s best friend Nona crush and that is Mike and apparently he has a spitting disease.
I chose the book Goodnight Moon by Margaret Wise Brown because this was one of my favorite books as a child. This book was very important to me as a child for multiple reasons. One being that my mom and/or dad would read it to me every night before I went to sleep. I remember this clearly because it would help me fall asleep at night. I think this book was very appealing to me because after my mom or dad finished reading it to me, we would go around the room and say goodnight to everything. This made me laugh every time!
The two books that I choose is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer and Trash. The Adventure of Tom Sawyer was an adventurous book. It also had a crime scene. The Adventure Of Tom Sawyer was an Adventurous book, because Tom and his friend Huckleberry Finn went to a graveyards to cure warts and they also went to a haunted house. Each time they went to the graveyard and haunted house, they saw the murderer. They both were scared because they told about the murderer in the court. In Trash, it was an adventurous book and also had a crime scene. Trash is an adventurous book, because they were three trash boys that found a bag that they police had. They had to run away from the police and they met many new people on the way and learnt about Jose Angelico. The crime scene was when Raphael, one of the Trash boys, was in jail because the police found out he had the bag and he won’t surrender it. Both of these book are fiction. Both of the book, really got my attention. I really loved the book so much. I read it five times.
The book I chose was called “Fat Angie” this book was about about who was fat and her was Angie so the people at school who would bullied her gave her that nickname. After her sister graduate high school and went to the military and was captured in Iraq and was announced missing on the news. Fat Angie’s sister was the only person she really talked too now that she is missing she is alone and being picked on at school about her weight. So she writes letter to her missing sister till she is founded.
0 or more books, I readed this year and I love them a lot because these books took me to a whole new world. A world of Demons, Vampires, Warlocks and everything that will not be real in this world since our world those not have anything crazy like a Vampire King. I love reading books that makes you fall off your seat and makes you think that is real. Sherrilyn Kenyon is author of Chronicles of Nick(4books). She was the first author I readed that made me crazy for books of Vampires and everything that I ever wanted to read like now. Cassandra Clare made me crazy just like Sherrilyn Kenyon to read their
Queer theory questions creations of normal and divergent, insider, and outsider.2 Queer theorists analyse a situation or a text to determine the relationship between sexuality, power and gender. Queer theory challenges basic tropes used to organize our society and our language: even words are gendered, and through that gendering an elliptical view of the hierarchy of society, and presumption of what is male and what is female, shines through. Queer theory rejects such binary distinctions as arbitrarily determined and defined by those with social power. It works to deconstruct these binaries, particularly the homosexual/heterosexual binary.4
