![]() ![]() “It happened on Saturday” by Sydney Dunlap talks about human trafficking and the trauma the person goes through after being abducted. I love books that create awareness through the story. In this timely, heartfelt debut, author Sydney Dunlap tells a story of a middle-school girl who narrowly escapes becoming a victim of human trafficking and must find her way toward hope and healing after this traumatic event. She fiercely guards her secret, but could her silence allow her friends to fall into the same trap? Then Julia finds out Tyler’s true plan, and her world is turned upside down. ![]() Even better, their relationship earns her tons of attention at school. ![]() As they DM more and more, Julia’s sure that Tyler understands her in a way her family never has. After a makeover from her older sister, she posts a picture of herself online and gets a comment from Tyler-a seemingly nice kid who lives across town. But when her BFF meets a boy at camp, Julia’s determined not to get left behind. Thirteen-year-old Julia would much rather work with horses at the rescue barn than worry about things like dating and makeup. Publishing Date: February 21st, 2023 Synopsis: ![]()

I felt like anything rather than rejoicing at the downfall of a foe who had fought so long and valiantly, and had suffered so much for a cause, though that cause was, I believe, one of the worst for which a people ever fought, and one for which there was the least excuse. Whatever his feelings, they were entirely concealed from my observation but my own feelings, which had been quite jubilant on the receipt of his letter, were sad and depressed. As he was a man of much dignity, with an impassible face, it was impossible to say whether he felt inwardly glad that the end had finally come, or felt sad over the result, and was too manly to show it. "What General Lee's feelings were I do not know. ![]() ![]() The Doctor has never performed a brain surgery to this scale, so he was careful while doing the surgery.

Clues of language, literary style, and content have led scholars to see most of Ketuvim as “Second Temple” works. The text of the Torah was standardized not long after, but there was no more prophecy after Malachi. ![]() The Temple in Jerusalem, destroyed in the Babylonian conquest of 586, had been rebuilt around 515. ![]() Most of the individual books in Ketuvim were written or at least put in final form in Judea during the period of Persian and Hellenistic rule, from the fifth through the second centuries BCE. Ketuvim might better be translated as “the anthology,” the canonical collection from the post-prophetic age. There are historical retellings and short stories. There is philosophical exploration–of the wisest path in life, of God’s goodness and justice. There is poetry - of Temple ritual, private prayer, wisdom, national tragedy, even love. Ketuvim, the name of the third section of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), means simply “Writings”, which hardly does justice to the variety of religious expression found there. ![]() My Jewish Learning is a not-for-profit and relies on your help Donate ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Since I have thankfully lost that sonnet, I must explain again what Powers showed me, and I think it’s best to get my readers into my mindset at the time wherein I creased the spine of Declare. To my pleasure, Powers responded in kind, and then many members of the group likewise wrote sonnets. Years ago I explained how this came to be in a (fairly embarrassing - I had just begun to practice the form) sonnet to Powers in an email fan group. My own introduction to Powers’s work was in 2000, with Declare, and that novel shook my sensibilities and attitudes regarding the fantasy genre down to their foundations. ![]() Finally, for whatever reasons, Disney Studios optioned his 1987 novel On Stranger Tides for its Pirates of the Caribbean movie of the same name - I guess the studio simply wanted the title, for, though I have not seen it myself, the rumor is that it (predictably) has nothing to do with the book. ![]() He also has been credited with inventing, with The Anubis Gates (1983), the steampunk genre - though Powers’s friend James Blaylock shares some of this regard, for his The Digging Leviathan (1984). The most obvious cause for his celebrity is that twice he has won the World Fantasy Award for best novel ( Last Call, 1992, and Declare, 2000). Tim Powers is my most favorite living novelist.

He's been seeded inside the Top 4 on all but two occasions at the Paris major, including in 2022 when his No. Last year, the left-hander triumphed for a record-extending 14th time on Court Philippe Chatrier when he dismissed Casper Ruud in the final. Nadal has never previously arrived in Paris for the French Open without any European clay-court tournaments under his belt in the lead up to the season’s second major. “The recovery process has its own schedule and I have no choice but to accept it and continue working. “Despite having noticed an improvement in recent days, spent many months without having been able to train at a high level,” continued Nadal. He's been spotted practicing in recent days, though the sessions weren't at a desired intensity. On March 20, Nadal dropped outside of the Top 10 for the first time since entering the elite group on April 25, 2005, an improable stretch of 912 successive weeks. ![]() ![]() Jesus Christ, what's a girl gotta do to get some plot around here?įinal update (thank god) 3/19/13: What a disappointing, uninteresting waste of time.
