Hello Dear Friend!

Thank you so much for your continued support! =)
Dear Liana: I am an author from Massachusetts. My debut novel HUNTING THE KING was published in April. It has received high praise from such literary journals as Booklist, ForeWord Magazine and the Midwest Review. If you enjoy reading a good thriller, you may well like HUNTING. The story revolves around a charismatic young woman named Molly O’Dwyer. Molly was five years old when she witnessed her mother's death in a fire. She never knew her father. After her mother's death, she was raised on the campus of a Jesuit college in Boston. Now an archaeologist, she is recruited to participate on a dig in war torn Iraq. As a scientist she is compelled to know who or what is buried under the sands of ancient Babylon. As a loyal Catholic, she is scared that what she finds may have devastating consequences for her faith. There is an awesome YouTube book trailer well worth watching to give you an idea of the power of the book. Thanks. Peter
I was kind of being sarcastic. But I didn't think that Bella was a really weak person. She helped watch over her mother (since she wasn't the most mature mother out there), and she did cooking and cleaning around the house for her dad. i think that she was actually very independent, and was much better off than most other teeneagers. And she really is a big contributing factor at the end of the 4th book. If it weren't for her "vampire power" the ending might not have turned out like it did. Sorry for the misunderstanding. But if you have read the first three books, might as well read the 4th right?
No problem. Yea I understand what you mean but when you really love someone it can feel that way whether you are a man or a woman. Because if you recognize Edward felt the same way without her..like dying like he couldn't exist.
About Twilight...If you didn't like the first 2 I wouldn't bother. I love the series. Its fun. I never thought of her as believing she was nothing without a man. I always felt she had a quiet strength and a maturity beyond a normal 17 year old. But if you aren' t feeling it by now then its just not for you. Happy Reading :)
Hello dear member of the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group! It's J., the admin., and I'm writing to inform you of the group's new look! (And it goes beyond the change in our group picture, though it is nice, don't you agree?) :) What we're discussing now: Patricia Hill Collins' Black Feminist Thought, Toni Morrison's Sula for our July read, our little BIG Read: 7 short stories in 7 days to begin later this month, the National Black Arts Festival where Alice Walker and Pearl Cleage are featured speakers, and more!We'll soon have a group blog up and running, will begin profiling the uberly dynamic authors within our own group, discussing women's/girls action coalitions in your city, reviving some of our good ol' threads, etc. I challenge everyone to invite at least one friend (already a member of shelfari or otherwise) to join the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group and to log in at least bi-weekly. (Though weekly would be wonderful!) And I pledge to do the same. And did you know that Toni Morrison's new novel, A Mercy, is due to be released in November? Ah, you would if you'd visited our group page! (No, actually, I haven't posted this information. lol) But do stop by and fall into the purple haze that is extraordinary literature by feminists of color!Love, Jaya
I still get chills thinking about the Devil in the White City...but I also couldn't put it down!
