Book excerpt: The first book in the New York Times bestselling epic fantasy trilogy by award-winning author Laini Taylor Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky. In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages--not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. When one of the strangers--beautiful, haunted Akiva--fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

Book excerpt: When Courage finds Hope… The Panderbank River divides a land in two. On the north lies the vast expanse of the wild and malevolent forest of Grimenna and to the south lies the realm of man. No one dares cross the river; only the wicked, the unclean, and the criminal are thrown back into what is known as the Wilderlands. Paiva Ibbie lives in the northernmost village as a sheepherder’s daughter. Raised in the old ways of worshiping the great forest, she is familiar with the dark creatures that stalk through the trees but she never imagined she would become the target of an ancient and powerful evil. When she is rescued by a strange Wilderman with a hidden past, she finds herself enmeshed in an age-old battle between the forgotten spirits who struggle for purchase in the world of men. A dark evil has set to roost in the lord’s keep, corrupting the land to feed off its growing despair, and it is only Paiva’s steadfast hope that can clear the veil of darkness from the hero’s mind so that he may take up the cause and fight for the sake of all that is good. Grimenna is a fantasy adventure that harkens back to fairy tales of old. In the best traditions of The Last Unicorn and Gail Carson Levine’s Ella Enchanted, Grimenna tells the story of a young woman brave enough to believe that she can make a difference even in the darkest of times.

Download or read book Rhapsody and Redolence written by Carol Scott and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-03-15 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a work of doing, of poesis, an enacting philosophy and theology through immediacy. It seeks to call to mind our original interrogative stance in Being, as did the Eleatic poem, the dialogic power of Plato, even Heidegger’s indwelling. Should the philosopher want to recover philosophical wonder, then this is the road to be traveled; thought needs raw unmanageable experience. Ordered thought dies without the first eventful taste of time briefly eclipsing Being, and Being thrusting time back down into supplication. Without this confrontation, the very measure of humans as the horizon between time and eternity, closer to angels, but neither angel nor fully animal, our thinking becomes ideological and self-enclosed patterns of attrition. The ten cycles of poetry—God, Sex, Surrender, Death, Time, Art, Prayer, Love, Rosary, Suffering—intend a new kind of philosophical and theological thinking. Here, the poet begins from the unrepeatable courtship with the intimate new, with the blushed and chaste forever-firsts of existence as Truth, Goodness, and Beauty in actus. In this new kind of philosophizing, love is the architect of the game. The poet has no chance of winning against the designer who can remove the pieces.

Book excerpt: A searing memoir of reckoning and healing by acclaimed journalist Stephanie Foo, investigating the little-understood science behind complex PTSD and how it has shaped her life “Achingly exquisite . . . providing real hope for those who long to heal.”—Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, Cosmopolitan, NPR, Mashable, She Reads, Publishers Weekly By age thirty, Stephanie Foo was successful on paper: She had her dream job as an award-winning radio producer at This American Life and a loving boyfriend. But behind her office door, she was having panic attacks and sobbing at her desk every morning. After years of questioning what was wrong with herself, she was diagnosed with complex PTSD—a condition that occurs when trauma happens continuously, over the course of years. Both of Foo’s parents abandoned her when she was a teenager, after years of physical and verbal abuse and neglect. She thought she’d moved on, but her new diagnosis illuminated the way her past continued to threaten her health, relationships, and career. She found limited resources to help her, so Foo set out to heal herself, and to map her experiences onto the scarce literature about C-PTSD. In this deeply personal and thoroughly researched account, Foo interviews scientists and psychologists and tries a variety of innovative therapies. She returns to her hometown of San Jose, California, to investigate the effects of immigrant trauma on the community, and she uncovers family secrets in the country of her birth, Malaysia, to learn how trauma can be inherited through generations. Ultimately, she discovers that you don’t move on from trauma—but you can learn to move with it. Powerful, enlightening, and hopeful, What My Bones Know is a brave narrative that reckons with the hold of the past over the present, the mind over the body—and examines one woman’s ability to reclaim agency from her trauma.

But things change when Inanna’s consort, Dumuzid, sends word from the underworld. A message that the goddess of the dead, Ereshkigal, wants to speak with her little sister of strange deaths. Two nights in a row, groups of those many would call detestable are slaughtered. Murdered by a mysterious entity, the divine thinks Inanna might have done this, demanding answers. Anger at past actions that once kept them apart pushed aside for what they hope is the greater good.

The woven fate laid out for them one that could be torn and mended but never staying the same. Like a ripped cloth, it can be repaired, but would never look like it did before. And when the final stitch is done, you can only pray it’s good enough…
