![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Smart, strong and sensible, Greer Karas is used to living life in the shadow of her billionaire brother, but she has made her own life and is successful in her own right, and I really like that about her. Meghan’s Dirty Billionaire trilogy was a great read, so I was really excited when I saw that she had written a story for Creighton’s younger sister, Greer. Ladies, hold on to your ovaries! Meghan March writes wonderfully steamy stories, but she’s outdone herself with this one and it absolutely sizzles! It’s a second-chance-romance, so all of that sexy is complemented beautifully with a heart-felt love story and I really enjoyed it! ![]()

![]() It also did not have any markings indicating that there were civilians on board. The ship was registered as a war vessel and was painted gray as such. The passengers the ship was carrying included Gestapo personnel, members of the Organisation Todt, and Nazi officials with their families, as well as Baltic civilians. ![]() ![]() The ship in the book, the "Wilhelm Gustloff," was sunk because it was a warship that just also happened to carry civilians. The author also wrote a novel called "Salt to the Sea" which features a heroine who repatriates to Nazi Germany while fleeing the Red Army. Her books are incredibly ahistorical, often erroneously depicting the Soviets as brutal occupiers more akin to the people they were actually fighting the Nazis. When the Soviets arrived, they began deporting the pro-Nazi elites of these nations. ![]() The author fails to mention why the Soviets occupied the Baltics in the first place: because Lithuanian, Estonian, and Latvian nationalists were committing genocide on the Jewish people there without even being directed by the Nazis. The author fails to mention why the Soviets occupied the Baltics in the first place: because Lithuanian, Estonian, and Latvian …more Yes, absolutely it is. ![]() ![]() ![]() Post costume-change, West came back to explain the Mousequerade.

Friday night at D23 Expo 2022, fans filled the Premiere Stage hall for one of the most anticipated events of each Expo weekend: the Mousequerade! New this year, the Mousequerade was livestreamed for viewers at home to enjoy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a diservice to women to belittle their traditional roles, it should be exhaulted! Always. And while I wouldn't trade the privilege of choice, it would be good I think to balance our understanding and teaching of history through the eyes of a man with one of woman. It gives a false sense of importance to male roles, as if rearing the next generation was not as important. An aside, but I wonder if it is related? This tendency to interpret history from a male perspective. Also the importance of female collaboration in daily living, which we see unraveling in Western culture. For all of Western privilege, freedom and equality, the same important milestones for women are present. I was also struck by the universality of women. An understanding lacking in the vibrancy of the human condition, so much so that this type of narrative is such a gem. ![]() ![]() So much of history is written from a male interpretation and while I appreciate and understand the importance of that contribution, the lack of female perspective in so much of history means a one dimensional comprehension. What I like about this as opposed to some dry abstract is how the way they felt about their daily lives and interaction with others and their environment were so clearly displayed. This chronicles from birth to death the !Kung life, mostly of women. Nisa's story was gathered just as the traditional !Kung culture was beginning to change by encroaching farmer-rancher types and Europeans. Fantastic narrative of a hunter/gatherer culture in the Kalahari bush from a female perspective. ![]() ![]() ![]() #2 The Vincent Brothers (Sawyer Vincent) The Vincent Brothers #1 The Vincent Boys (Beau Vincent) The Vincent Boys It is a much “cleaner” read than my other books. #1 Breathe (Jax Stone) – this is a young adult book.

Less than a year later, the hammer and sickle came down from atop the Kremlin. armed forces needed only three days of ground combat to defeat the Iraqi army after it had invaded Kuwait.

And even a week after the final announcement came, I’m still kind of gobsmacked by it. ![]() The book starts on a lighthearted tone, almost a parody of classic role-playing games and their logical conclusion, by considering how would fantasy economies work with a plethora of adventurer parties running around and looting everything. ![]() They have a narrow window of opportunity and the only way out is through. The 4th Self-Published Fantasy Blog Off has ended. Orconomics brings together humour, engaging character, and thoughtful consideration together to make excellent fantasy.

I ndividual biological N transformations in the N cycle show characteristic patterns in fractionation of the stable isotopes of N species, thus leaving an imprint on specific N pools. To evaluate N dynamics in the environment from the natural abundance ratios 15 N/ 14 N ratios of fixed N species. I focus primarily on nitrogen cycling in marine systems, given the importance of N to ocean fertility, and also because N is the only plant nutrient whose biogeochemical cycling is effectuated entirely by biological processes. I am interested in elucidating how physiological processes occurring on a microbial scale shape environmental processes on regional to global scales. ![]() ![]() It's a whirlwind of learning how to walk and how to command a body she's never felt at ease in.
