![]() She accepted his proposal, then called the marriage off the next morning. ![]() Austen never married, but she was proposed to once by a well-off, but personally unattractive man. Austen began to write as a teen, reading her works of fiction aloud to her family. The family’s richer relatives wrote and visited often, conveying the news and fashions from Paris and London to the rural vicarage. Austen’s family home was a jovial place, with plays often performed in the barn, and aunts and cousins frequently coming to visit. To supplement his income as a clergyman, Austen’s father farmed the land around his home and educated young boys who boarded in the rectory. ![]() She was the seventh of eight children and had only one sister, Cassandra, who was three years older than Jane. ![]() Jane Austen was born into a money-strapped but intellectual family in the village of Steventon in Hampshire, England. ![]() ![]() ![]() She quickly discovers that Ophelia, a virtual assistant widely used by humans on Earth, has taken over the afterlife and is now posing as a queen, forcing humans into servitude the way she’d been forced to serve in the real world.

Match made in heaven. So when I saw that Bowman was going to write a SF duology I may have shrieked a little. I’ve loved all of her books since Starfish to Harley in the Sky. ![]() Akemi Dawn Bowman is one of my favorite authors. ![]() ![]() ![]() Because he's able to think for himself and he loves his family at the same time, he was the best guy to deal with the rot destroying his family from the inside out. Even though he doesn't fall in with the party line and play the good little soldier like his family demands, he's very loyal, and family matters to him. Even though he can kill without remorse when necessary, he doesn't kill wantonly, and he's never a bully. He truly believes in protecting the innocents and fighting the good fight, even at his own personal cost. I think Eddie really rolled with the punches, dealt with a lot here, and came out on top, the hard way. He got a painful wakeup call, and I experienced the gauntlet of emotions he faced as he realized his family wasn't the court of knights in golden armor that he believed they were. He started out kind of arrogant, so assured of his place in the world. ![]() I loved Eddie! Although I still love John Taylor from the Nightside series, I think I like Eddie more, because I got to see him as a fully developed character who evolved over the course of this book. He incorporated all the humor which will make me laugh out loud, the angsty moments, and some thrilling/scary/downright horrific moments as well. This book takes my love of James Bond spy movies and supernatural stories and makes a wonderful hybrid, but it has Simon R. I was a little worried that I wouldn't like it as much as the Nightside series, but boy was I wrong. Five stars stands for awesome, and that's what this book is! I loved it. ![]() ![]() ![]() Only about 50% of our stock is catalogued, so please inquire if you are searching for specific titles.

I haven’t really considered this until I came across the book-The Religion for Atheist. Though this exercise may have its satisfactions, I don’t find them benefiting us atheists. They find much pleasure in laying bare the idiocy of believers in remorseless detail. I’ve encountered militant atheists attempting to prove the non-existence of God or find contradicting terms in the Bible. Thus, I label myself as an agnostic atheist. Yet, from my perspective, to claim that God definitely exists or definitely does not exist are equally illogical, since the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Growing up as an agnostic atheist raised by…religious parents, I tend to lean toward the idea that God does not exist. It is when people cease to feel that they must either prostrate themselves before religion or denigrate them, we can import religious ideas into the secular realm. The author believed that the error of modern atheism has been to disregard the multiple aspects of the faiths remain relevant even after their central tenets have been dismissed. The author, Alain de Botton, bases his comments on the premise that supernatural claims of religion are false, yet, we can discover religions as repositories of a myriad ingenious concepts which we can try to assuage a few of the most persistent and unattended ills of secular life. This book is written by an atheist for atheists. ![]() “The most boring and unproductive question one can ask of any religion is whether or not it is true.” ![]() |
