![]() Now, she's a murder suspect who needs all the help she can get to clear her own name. The ceremony goes off without a hitch, and Hannah is happy to wave Lisa off for an admittedly local honeymoon-until Hannah stumbles across Shawna Lee’s corpse while trying to be a good neighbor. Hannah puts her business woes on the back burner, however, in light of her business partner’s Valentine's Day wedding. Hannah certainly doesn't need quite that many people to tell her that Shawna Lee's products, including the titular peach cobbler, are tasty but inferior. It doesn't help that nearly all of Hannah's regular clientele have defected to Shawna Lee's bakery, ostensibly temporarily in order to check out the competition and report back to her. ![]() But when Shawna Lee’s sister Vanessa comes into an inheritance, Shawna Lee persuades her to use it to open a loss-leading bakery that seriously undercuts business at Hannah's cafe, the Cookie Jar. ![]() It's not that she's constantly flirting with Detective Mike Kingston, one of Hannah Swensen’s boyfriends-it takes two to tango, after all, and I've long been of the view that Hannah should dump Mike anyway. ![]() ![]() I shouldn't speak ill of the (fictional) dead, but Shawna Lee Quinn is the worst. ![]() ![]() ![]() He was America's Most Underrated Legal Scholar and Advocate ![]() House of Representativesġ868 Filed indictment papers for treason against former President of the Confederacy, Jefferson Davisġ876 Nominated to be Ambassador to England blocked by political enemiesġ878 Retired to France to write books on international lawġ882 Continued writing on international law and died in Rome of pneumonia ![]() ![]() had the right to blockade the Southġ868 Unsuccessful run for the U. considered Annexing Cubaġ861 Appointed by President Lincoln to be the United States district attorney for MassachusettsĪrguing successfully at U.S. He defended many seamen pro bono in courtġ854 Ten day defense of imprisoned slave Anthony Burns: the third Boston slave riotġ859 Traveled to Cuba and wrote To Cuba and Back at a time the U.S. 1815 Born in Cambridge Massachusetts and died August 6, 1882, in Romeġ833 left Harvard due to vision issues caused by measlesġ834 Sailed from Boston on the brig Pilgrimġ835 Stopped at Santa Barbara, California worked his way up the coast at land-based jobsġ836 Sailed back to Boston and re-entered Harvard graduating in the class of 1837ġ840 Graduated Harvard Law School to practice law (a/k/a) Dane Law Schoolġ841 Specialized in maritime law and seamen’s rightsġ841 Dana published The Seaman's Friend, which became a standard reference on the legal rights and responsibilities of sailors. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ernest Hemingway, as the main character of his novel, served on the Italian front, was wounded, lay in the Milan hospital and had an affair with a nurse. The novel «A Farewell to Arms» is mostly autobiographical. Unsightly military weekdays and sincere human feelings provide an access to the classical artistic problems - the realization by human his own place in the world and the identification of important existential constants of «war» and «peace», «life» and «death», «faith» and «disbelief». On the background of the war occurs the love story between lieutenant of the field ambulance, Frederick Henry, and nurse, Catherine Barkley, and it is the second major theme of the novel. The main theme of the work and the mover of the plot was the First World War. The novel «A Farewell to Arms» written by Ernest Hemingway released in 1929 and touched on several major problems that agitated European society in the early XX century. ![]() ![]() ![]() The stench and filth rarely troubled him now, as they had when he first came here from the country. He awkwardly dodged a pair of rambling pigs and picked his way through the dung and muck of the city streets. Master Shakespeare pulled the hood of his cloak down low over his eyes and hurried from his lodgings in Bishopsgate, walking as quickly as he could on his hobbled legs. Twenty years he lived in London … Twenty years he dallied there between conjugal love and its chaste delights and scortatory love and its foul pleasures. ![]() Herman Melville, "Hawthorne and His Mosses" In Shakespeare's tomb lies infinitely more than Shakespeare ever wrote. The real mystery of Shakespeare, a thousand times more mysterious than any matter of the will, is: why is it that-unlike Dante, Cervantes, Chaucer, Tolstoy, whomever you wish-he makes what seems a voluntary choice to stop writing? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In this particular trilogy with Janny, he tells us of the events happening on the other side of the conflict, as the Riftwar novels mostly focus on Midkemia. In his Riftwar Saga trilogy, Raymond introduced us to the worlds of Midkemia and Kelewan which became locked in a grand war across time and space. The Empire trilogy is set on the world of Kelewan in the Empire of Tsuranuanni. And going back to it last month proved to be a blast. Feist and Janny Wurts, a trilogy that stands as one of the best fantasy series I’ve read to date, for far too many reasons. For this year’s challenge, one of the series that found its way to my list is the Empire trilogy by Raymond E. As I have said before, my “25 Series To Read In 201x” reading challenge is meant to allow me to touch base with trilogies (and longer series) that are out in publication currently and have proven to be big successes while also going back to read some classics, especially a few favourites that I have not revisited in the longest time. ![]() ![]() ![]() Nevertheless, it could not be denied the work was an incredible literary accomplishment, influential towards the development of Western thought and such great 20th century thinkers as Freud, Anatole France, Margaret Mead, and Oswald Spengler. It was initially celebrated as a remarkable study of comparative anthropology, but was later discredited by scientists because Frazer did not follow standard scientific procedures. Originally a two-volume edition, the work expanded into multiple volumes, which in 1922 he edited down to the most widely-read abridged version, which has been reproduced here for this edition. Sir James George Frazer attempted to define the shared elements of religious belief and scientific thought, discussing fertility rites, human sacrifice. The Golden Bough Author, James George Frazer Country, United Kingdom Language, English Subject, Comparative religion Publisher, Macmillan and Co. ![]() After the success of his first novel, "Totemism", in 1887, Frazer set out to create what was to become his defining work, "The Golden Bough: A Study in Comparative Religion". Sir James George Frazer developed an affinity for classic literature at a young age, which developed into a very real talent through his schooling at Glasgow University and then Trinity College at Cambridge, where he remained as a Classics Fellow for all but one year of his life. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All the while I wondered how they might ever escape Slappy’s plans to enslave them, controlling their actions with the knowledge that no adult would ever believe a kid’s claim that the real culprit was a dummy all along. Still, the thought failed to keep my nerves in check as I read about the evil dummy’s mischievous deeds and the poor kids being blamed for his actions. ![]() Still, I was drawn to Slappy’s story, feeling that when contained to the page, I would be protected from it somehow in a way that wasn’t the case were I watching it play out on TV. Having been traumatized by clips of Child’s Play (1988) at an early age, I was already predisposed to petrification by the hands of dolls big or small, so the thought of an otherworldly animated ventriloquist dummy had me in shivers well before I ever opened the book. He’s a wise-cracking, prank-prone and rather well dressed dummy who is far more intelligent than his empty wooden head might suggest, and with two books under his belt and a third on the way, it was only natural that Slappy the ventriloquist doll would finally make his way to the screen in 1996.
