The contemplative tone of songs such as Last Man Standing, Letter to You and the moving I’ll See You In My Dreams, which closed the show, contrasted with the lively reworking of songs from the past 50 years of his career, notably material drawn from early albums such as The Wild, the Innocent & the E Street Shuffle, Born to Run, Darkness on the Edge of Town and Born in the USA, which formed the spine of the set.Įver-impressive: Bruce Springsteen at the RDS on Friday evening.

5/28/2023 0 Comments Stitch by L. Wilder![]() ![]() Her lips curled into a warm smile as she approached me and said, “Thought I might have scared you off.” Her hair was up in a ponytail, and she was wearing a pair of black leggings with a sweater. Seconds later the front door opened and Wren was walking over to me. She was talking to someone, but then stopped when she noticed me sitting there. The lights were on in the kitchen, and I could see her standing at the window. There were fresh mums sitting on the porch, and she had some kind of fall decoration hanging on the front door. Her house was just a small brick house, nothing out of the ordinary, but Wren had done her best to make the place look like a home. ![]() Just knowing they were on the other side of those four walls made the tension I’d been carrying around all day begin to subside. The sun had gone down, and the chill of the night bit at the back of my neck as I parked my bike at the edge of the driveway and killed the engine. There was no reason for me to be there, but I needed to check on them, see for myself that everything was okay. “No,” I answered as I got on my bike and started the engine. That where you’re headed now?” Cotton asked, grinning at me like a fucking Cheshire cat. I started for my bike and said, “I’ll get them going on the surveillance.” ![]() ![]() ![]() Adam is thrilled it’s the reboot he needs and an opportunity to pray for a hijra in real life: to migrate to Zayneb in Chicago.

One cannot imagine this Anne Elliot ever being pushed around, let alone abused as the family’s de facto servant. She’s loud, feisty, flirty and as unlikable as the rest of her godawful family. She’s an anti-heroine in empire waist clothing. Netflix’s Anne Elliot (Dakota Johnson, woefully miscast) is none of these things. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Lynn steger strong want![]() ![]() ![]() I try to read a book but fall asleep if I’m sitting and almost fall over if I stand. I often get no seat and stand, trying not to grab hold of close-by arms or shoulders as the train turns hard, stops short. Sometimes, the train’s right there, doors already open, as I pass through the turnstile, and I run, my bags flapping against my hip and back, up the stairs and through the crowd of people, slipping through the closing doors. I wait sometimes three minutes for the first, sometimes fifteen. I take two trains to get to work and neither of them runs well. My body is outside the halo of hot water and my skin mottles and I shiver and am cold as I wait for him to come. He pushes me up against the grimy tiles, holds my leg up. ![]() He bends me over the railing of the back ledge. ![]() Sometimes my husband slips into the shower while the children are still asleep and we have sex. I turn off the alarm and put on my bra and tights and shirt and shoes and gloves and headband, grab my keys and phone, and lock the door behind me I run miles and miles before anyone wakes up.īy 6:15, I’ve showered and dressed and started to make breakfast. I climb down in the dark and find the phone, which has often fallen. MY ALARM GOES off at 4:30 every weekday morning, and I keep my phone lodged between the slatted stairs that lead up to the lofted bed my husband built us in the closet we use as a bedroom, so that I’m not able to press Snooze. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Dan simmons ilium series![]() ![]() Hockenberry is a past master of the Homeric epics, so the job has its rewards, namely comparing Homer’s poetry to the specifics of the battle taking place in front of him. Reassembled from scraps of DNA thousands of years in the future, Hockenberry and a host of other scholars were gathered up and sent to the past by a race of creatures with awesome powers and fickle tempers (the Greek gods) to serve as their recorders for what they saw as this grandest of games. Ilium, of course, is another name for ancient Troy, and the tale opens on the blood-soaked plains of that besieged city as the Greek armies carry on their nearly decade-long attack, while Thomas Hockenberry, Ph.D.-“the unwilling Chorus of this tale”-studies the whole affair. ![]() A three-pronged start to another gigantic series from Simmons (the Hyperion Cantos) that will leave most readers waiting breathlessly for the next installment. ![]() ![]() I had a great time trying to figure out Who Dunit and How They Dunit and the Christmas theme was just divine. ![]() At first the deaths seem like accidents, but for the small town called Tiddleton-under-Lovey, a death a day starts to add up and all is not what it seems.

Brilliantly timed, the next book in the “Her Royal Spyness”series is set at Christmas. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Book julie of the wolves![]() ![]() Arranged Marriage: At thirteen, Miyax marries the son of her father's business partner to escape living with her well-meaning but no-nonsense aunt.Miyax spends a good third of the novel learning how to speak this new "language" and it's implied that other animals have their own set of signals like a flicking tail motion that shows that a ground squirrel is friendly. Wolves don't communicate in words, but rather how we'd expect them to, with body language, touch and smells.
