The pains of the last year still fresh, Amoruso is already thinking hard about what future success will look like for herself and others. She has advice to share: Sophia Christina Amorsou is an American businesswoman. “If this is success is my life complete?

There were a number of particularly amusing moments in the text - Oscar's mother calling him her "little Vienna sausage," Oscar showing up in his costume looking "quite frank" - but also some heartwarming ones, as when our canine hero accepts his costume despite disliking it, because he doesn't want to hurt his mother's feelings.

That is some gaydar!!The perfect family members: all characters have scads of fun, interesting, and understanding family members.The clues about the villain are hardly hidden. EVERY night and they stay out to midnight, 2 a.m.and then go to work faithfully the next day.As Jory goes out to a different club or restaurant every night, Sam magically finds him no matter where he is.

The theme isn’t exactly new, but the narrative’s leading questions and the large, cleanly drawn figures of bigheaded children and their creative efforts make this a particularly simple and direct explication. Following a brief round of play, the children then turn to the empties: “Whatever do you think they’ll do with all those boxes? Well….” More-elaborate play ensues, as the cartons are combined, altered, and decorated to serve as a castle, a ship, a stage, a tall foldout rocket, an even larger gatefold train, and finally a cozy nest just right for a collective snooze. Thomas, Alice, Sam, and Nancy each have a carton that, with the lift of a flap-or in Nancy’s case, several nested flaps-reveals a toy or other surprise. Further evidence that, for young children at least, boxes are gifts that keep on giving. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Seventeen-year-old Elio, customarily summering with his family on the Italian Riviera, encounters 24-year-old grad student and houseguest Oliver, whose equally gregarious and laconic personality instantly arouses in Elio a longing that threatens to subsume his entire being. More so than any other queer-themed novel in recent memory, this is the one that I hear invoked by writers, scholars, and everyday readers alike, and to hear that its forthcoming film adaptation, slated for late November, is already garnering tremendous reviews makes this fierce devotee of its brilliance all the happier.Īndré Aciman’s masterpiece of mood and melancholy-interspersed with blazes of passion-takes what could be a saccharine premise and infuses it with emotion that is both credible and all-consuming.

They capture the importance and splendors of the individual parks: from Haleakala in Hawaii to Acadia in Maine, from Denali in Alaska to the Everglades in Florida, from Glacier in Montana to Big Bend in Texas. The authors recount the adventures, mythmaking, and intense political battles behind the evolution of the park system, and the enduring ideals that fostered its growth. In this evocative and lavishly illustrated narrative, Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan delve into the history of the park idea, from the first sighting by white men in 1851 of the valley that would become Yosemite and the creation of the world's first national park at Yellowstone in 1872, through the most recent additions to a system that now encompasses nearly four hundred sites and 84 million acres.
