It requires us to be who we are.’ ~ Brené Brown ‘True belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are. This process can be confusing and sometimes messy but inner knowing is guiding this transition. Ultimately I realise that I am (re)discovering my true self. I have been questioning and reviewing my ideas, releasing what no longer holds true for me or is no longer required. This book is helping me make sense of some of the thoughts and ideas I have been developing and also sheds new light on the current global conversations. I am currently reading Braving The Wilderness by Brené Brown and I’m having quite a few ah-ha moments. I’m working my way through books that have been on my wish list for ages. Winter is the perfect time to retreat from the world and to spend time reading. But it turns out to be the place of true belonging, and it’s the bravest and most sacred place you will ever stand.’ ~ Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW It is a place as dangerous as it is breathtaking, a place as sought after as it is feared. ‘ The wilderness is an untamed, unpredictable place of solitude and searching. The text is well-honed and rhythmic, and moves with terrific pace. “A thrilling narrative with authentic flavour founded on thorough research.

It has the three qualities of a classic children’s book. “WOLF BROTHER gripped me from the very first page. Sir Ian McKellen : Narrator of all the audiobooks in the series “Like other great children’s books which also entrance adults, Wolf Brother conjures up an utterly believable, yet original world where the story grips you to the very last page.” “Paced like summer blockbusters, the novels open with a bang and pick up speed from there… hugely entertaining… Paver’s prose is clean and energetic” Deborah by the Water, they encounter a violent prophet who digs graves for anyone who dares to leave. Written on their caravan, and tattooed on Kirsten’s arm is a line from Star Trek: “Because survival is insufficient.” But when they arrive in St. Together, this small troupe moves between the settlements of an altered world, performing Shakespeare and music for scattered communities of survivors. Hospitals are flooded and Jeevan and his brother barricade themselves inside an apartment, watching out the window as cars clog the highways, gunshots ring out, and life disintegrates around them.įifteen years later, Kirsten is an actress with the Traveling Symphony.

To make matters more complicated, a Day Student is bit and the academy begins an investigation. When the Senate comes to execute Zero for Shizuka’s death, Kaname defies the Senate by standing in their way and protecting the school that has become sacred to him as well as his schoolmate Zero. As a result of her death, Zero has lost his only means of salvation, but at the same time he is being accused of her death because he was seen holding the bloody rose gun and standing next to her corpse… pretty incriminating evidence, but if the actual truth is revealed, it can harm Kaname. In this installment of Vampire Knight 5 Shizuka Hio, a pure blood vampire, is killed and her murder must be reported to the Senate. She is truly a talented artist and story teller. I am in constant awe of Matsuri Hino’s talent as displayed by her amazing artwork and flawlessly written story. I’m past the mid-point of this series and I don’t want the journey to end. I know I’ve said this before, but I truly mean it every time… this manga series just keeps getting better and better and I’m absolutely hooked! Vivian brings to life the raging emotions and the intensity of life in general that is readily apparent in this age group. Mathieu does a wonderful job of maintaining a realistic setting and tone throughout the story. It’s solid plot line and fierce humorous dialogue instantly hooked me. Moxie is written differently, instead of a multitude of POVs, there is only one-Vivian Carter. She has a gift for YA an ability to connect and vocalize with that age and the issues that affect them. I was captivated by her choice of narrative and characterization. The Truth About Alice was my first time reading Jennifer Mathieu. Soon everyone is talking about Moxie and celebrating its words of encouragement and sisterhood, but when the time comes for the Moxie girls to stand behind a sister in need, Viv will have to make a choice that could destroy her future. Her mom, a former Riot Grrrrl of the 90’s, inadvertently encourages Viv to do something to change the toxic environment.This former nice girl who has never rocked the boat tips it over when she starts an anonymous ‘zine, encouraging everyone to stand up for their rights. A junior at a small Texas high school where football is worshipped as a religion, Viv is tired of the misogyny in the school with the constant harassment, sexist dress code, and the football players getting away with murder.
