The romantic drama is slated to start production in 2018 with Ford co-writing the screenplay. ![]() A widower now, Henry must reconcile the past and the present, the things he did or didn’t do, the things he said, and the things he left unspoken.

![]() ![]() She’s also an award-winning reporter for her school newspaper, and, while on what should be a routine assignment covering the new football stadium, Millie becomes embroiled in a story that will rock her entire world… In Buzz Kill, readers meet Millie Ostermeyer, a seventeen-year-old who eats like a trucker, is the only member of her school’s Philosophy Club, wears ironic t-shirts that nobody gets, and has a somewhat loose relationship with rules and authority. Unlike Fantaskey’s other stories, this newest read has no supernatural elements, but it does introduce us to a strong, relatable, female protagonist. I’m happy to say that the book lived up to my expectations. So, when Goodreads gave me the chance to read an ARC of this author’s latest novel, Buzz Kill, I was pretty stoked. ![]() Since then, I’ve read a few other works by Fantaskey: Jessica Rules the Dark Side, Jekel Loves Hyde, and The Wedding of Antanasia Jessica Packwood and Lucius Valeriu Vladescu (a short story published on the author’s website). I first became a fan of Beth Fantaskey’s work a few years ago when I read Jessica’s Guide to Dating on the Dark Side. ![]() ![]() ![]() text perfectly readable due to fitted font size ![]() almost 500 pages of finest 60g India paper complete and unabbreviated text of Nikola Tesla’s autobiography in English Richly decorated on the cover with several different processes of hot foil stamping, this book also comes with a matching slip case.

Rage plays with the formula by making Johanna not an ordinary girl fighting to stay with her abuser, but a girl who was severely damaged before she even entered the relationship. Sarah Dessen’s Dreamland is an equally compelling look at a girl and why she would stay with the guy abusing her. Alex Flinn’s Breathing Underwater is an excellent look into the head of an abuser, and her Diva an equally interesting portrait of the girl recovering from the relationship and beginning new ones. ![]() I’ve read books about abusive relationships before. The focus, instead, is on their emotional issues caused by unstable family life. Johanna and Reeve are both out and comfortable with their sexuality, though every once in awhile someone says something derogatory to one of them. While the main characters of Rage are lesbian or bisexual, it’s not a focus of the story. ![]() Julie Anne Peters is known for writing novels about LGBTQ teens. LGBTQ Young Adult released by Knopf Books for Young Readers 8 Sept 09 Liviania’s review of Rage: A Love Story by Julie Anne Peters ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Aside from the original doctrine, the term “Vedas” also refers to any literature authored by Vyasadeva or any other literature based on his works. Aside from the original Vedas, he wrote almost all the other major Vedic texts including the Puranasa, Vedanta-sutra, and the Upanishads. His mission was to make the Vedas more understandable to the society at large. Vyasadeva appeared as the son of the sage Parashara and his wife Satyavati. For this reason, he is also referred to as Veda Vyasa. Vyasadeva put the Veda into written scripture and divided it into four parts, collectively known as the Vedas. Originally, the Veda, meaning “truth” or “knowledge”, was one doctrine that was passed down through oral tradition in India. Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa, also referred to as Vyasadeva or Vyasa, is the literary incarnation of Lord Krishna and is known as the father of all Vedic literature. ![]() |
