So if you haven't read Bitten, step away from the review. ![]() While the series is designed to make it possible to come in fresh every time the narrator changes - I don't advise it, but I'm a very linear reader in some ways you might feel differently - I highly recommend not joining the series on the second book of any given narrator. Stolen is not only her second book, it's her second book narrated by Elena, the world's only female werewolf. ![]() So I said I was going to review Kelley Armstrong's entire Women of the Otherworld series, and that's exactly what I'm intending to do. 480 pages, dark urban fantasy/supernatural romance, werewolf-centric awesome ![]()

![]() The way “My mother composed me as I now compose her.” Told through a series of therapy sessions, with the specters of Virginia Woolf and Daniel Winnicott hovering nearby, Bechdel draws out the ways in which growing up with a depressed, narcissistic mother, who had once dreamed of being an artist herself, have colored her world.

Ukraine evolved into real-time drama for racial understandings of “terrorism” and “freedom fighter,” and their political ascription in Muslim-majority nations where parallel struggles either continue to rage or are violently crushed. For a Russian regime intent on actualizing its imperial vision and an accosted Ukrainian community fighting in the name of self-determination, this war is far more than a theater of war. The Russian invasion of Ukraine in late March of 2022 ushered in a new chapter of war on the European continent. ![]() ![]() The Rose and Milton Friedman Foundation for school vouchers came about at Rose's initiative. ![]() Rose, who died Wednesday at the age of 98, was also an economist and no less radical than her husband in her support for free-market solutions and stressing of the importance of individual responsibility.
