![]() ![]() ![]() With trademark candor and fierce intelligence, hooks addresses the most common concerns of men, such as fear of intimacy and loss of their patriarchal place in society, in new and challenging ways. But toxic masculinity punishes those fundamental emotions, and it's so deeply ingrained in our society that it's hard for men to not comply-but hooks wants to help change that. In The Will to Change, bell hooks gets to the heart of the matter and shows men how to express the emotions that are a fundamental part of who they are-whatever their age, marital status, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. But to know love, men must be able to look at the ways that patriarchal culture keeps them from knowing themselves, from being in touch with their feelings, from loving. From the New York Times bestselling author of All About Love, a brave and astonishing work that challenges patriarchal culture and encourages men to reclaim the best part of themselves.Įveryone needs to love and be loved-even men. ![]()

![]() ![]() The story follows same old dead-beat formula: a paranormal/human pairing, uncovering of the "mysterious" partner's true nature, teens drawn to each other for some unknown reason (even my hope for some kind of reincarnation "twist" didn't quite work out), constant i-can't-be-with-you-cause-it's-dangerous back and forth, the inability to "be together" physically. I personally found none of it particularly striking. Turns out the most appreciated aspects of the book were: an original love story told from a male POV (compare it to those other romances told from whiny girls' POVs), truly original paranormal lore, and small town Southern setting. ![]() Having finally finished this book with a high level of irritation and disappointment, I decided to check out the favorable reviews to see what people liked about the story. Unfortunately, "Beautiful Creatures" was just another painfully boring overlong dud. When will I learn not to buy into hype? Just like so many readers, I gave into the favorable internet buzz and opened the book with an expectation of it to be something special. Ugh, another overhyped paranormal YA creation. ![]() ![]() ![]() “I absolutely can’t wait to see Taylor and Nicholas on screen as Alex and Henry,” said Casey.ĭirector Matthew López is equally thrilled about the film's leading men - and it sounds like many young actors were hoping to score these coveted parts. ![]() RWRB author Casey McQuiston praised the “smart, bold, thoughtful choices" of the adaptation's creative team, including the casting.

You finally figure out where to get coffee, and drinks, and a good steak. Meanwhile, there’s no way to stop that dreaded birthday, which he sees as the definitive end of a rather extended youth: “It’s like the last day in a foreign country. Of course, anything that can go wrong does-from falling out a window to having his favorite suit eaten by a stray dog, and as far as Less runs, he will not escape the fact that he really did lose the love of his life. ![]() So rather than stay in San Francisco and be humiliated when his younger man of nine years' standing marries someone else (he can’t bear to attend, nor can he bear to stay home), he puts together a patchwork busman’s holiday that will take him to Paris, Morocco, Berlin, Southern India, and Japan. ![]() ![]() When it comes to the literary canon, Arthur Less knows he is “as superfluous as the extra a in quaalude,” but he does get the odd invitation-to interview a more successful author, to receive an obscure prize, to tour French provincial libraries, that sort of thing. Facing his erstwhile boyfriend’s wedding to another man, his 50th birthday, and his publisher’s rejection of his latest manuscript, a miserable midlist novelist heads for the airport. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There was something about that that I liked, but I just thought that it would be so much more interesting if the love interests had not both been boys. "I had read a YA book years back that had a current-timeline love interest and a summer love interest, and both of them were likable. ![]() ![]() Even though the coolest guy in school is now head over heels for her, Lara must come to terms with what her summer and Jasmine meant to her.Īdler says the story was inspired by the idea of having two likable love interests vying for the protagonist's heart. However, things get more complicated when Jasmine, the girl she had a summer fling with, moves to town. Her seventh novel, Cool for the Summer, has been praised by many as a "modern Bisexual Grease." The story follows Lara, a high school senior, as she returns from a summer spent in the Outer Banks, ready to finish out her year as queen of the school. So, for our last winter romance book, we've decided to skip the boring gray of the cold season and take a journey into the warmth with author Dahlia Adler. With hope floating in on warm air, tan lines, and freedom from obligations, summertime is the perfect backdrop for the classic teen romance. No rom-com collection is complete without a summer romance. ![]() ![]() ![]() The usual time for processing an order is 24 hours (1 business day), but may vary depending on the availability of products ordered. ![]() Packages are shipped from Monday to Friday.Stevens Books offers FREE SHIPPING everywhere in the United States for ALL non-book orders, and $3.99 for each book.For this reason, used books, including books listed in the Used – Like New condition, may not come with functional electronic material access codes. ![]() Note: Some electronic material access codes are valid only for one user. ![]() Pages may include limited notes and highlighting, but the text cannot be obscured or unreadable.

Both were politically pivotal experiences about which he would eventually write in his books Half the Way Home: A Memoir of Father and Sona nd Finding the Trapdoor: Essays, Portraits, Travels. As a college student, he spent a summer working on an anti-government newspaper in South Africa and subsequently worked briefly as a civil rights worker in Mississippi during 1964.

Ruby has known of hiding all her life, and in the first chapter we see her captured by the army of the Frostblood king and sent to a prison to await execution. Told through the first person POV of Ruby, a Fireblood hiding from the world of Frostbloods, we start off with immediate action that doesn’t stop until the last page is flipped. With fairly quick pacing, a basic but nonetheless exciting fantasy world, and fun characters, Frostblood ensured that there was never a boring moment between its pages. ![]() When I did pick it up, however, I couldn’t put it down! While Frostblood was definitely reminiscent of other fantasies out there – Red Queen and Shadow and Bone are ones that immediately jump to mind – it also stands out on its own. I’ve heard pretty decent things about this book, but for some reason it never really was on my radar. ![]() ![]() Now she has only one chance to destroy the maniacal ruler who has taken everything from her-and from the icy young man she has come to love. But before they can take action, Ruby is captured and forced to compete in the king’s tournaments that pit Fireblood prisoners against Frostblood champions. Despite her unpredictable abilities, Ruby trains with the rebels and the infuriating-yet irresistible-Arcus, who seems to think of her as nothing more than a weapon. ![]() ![]() With Bitter Orange, Marshall Moore gives us a queer Crimes and Misdemeanors, darkly witty and equally wise. ![]() – Lee Thomas, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of The German and Ash Street His characters live and breathe, and they will carry you along on this amazing, bizarre, and ultimately disturbing journey. ![]() ![]() Like Palahniuk at his best, Moore makes the impossible seem credible, grounding the fantastical elements of his tale with the foibles of human frailty. Still reeling from the horrors of the September 11 terrorist attacks and ambivalent about his future, Seth is at a crossroads: Can he be one of the good guys by doing bad things, or are his newfound powers part of someone else’s malevolent agenda? There are no easy answers or expected outcomes in Marshall Moore’s exploration of urban life and the ways that people can disappear.īitter Orange is a dark wonder. But this only adds to his confusion about his place in the world. He can stop muggings in plain sight, unseen, but only with worse violence. He can use a movie ticket stub to buy a coffee or a one-dollar bill to pay for a cell phone. The ability only works in morally grey situations the rest of the time, he can’t turn it on and off at will. Seth Harrington can be invisible or undetectable, but he is not a superhero. ![]() |
