![]() ![]() Unless you want to listen, it won't become a habit. ![]() Knowing you need to listen and knowing how to listen are not enough. Desire is the motivation, the want to do.Knowledge is the theoretical paradigm, the what to do and the why.'Habits' Defined A habit is the intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire: Breaking deeply imbedded, habitual tendencies such as procrastination, impatience, criticalness or selfishness that inhibit effectiveness involves more than simple willpower or a few minor changes.

![]() ![]() ![]() It’s as sweet as it sounds – a literary cup of cocoa. July's top rom-coms: 'Dream On' by Angie Hockman, Lacie Waldon's 'From the Jump' However, they are still delightful, and I laughed out loud at their absurdity. Hall manages to include subtle (and not-so-subtle) commentary on wealth, power, family, religion and identity, intermingled with wild characters and out-there plot points. ![]() ![]() That said, I found several of the characters – including Oliver, Alex Twaddle, Luc's blue-blooded co-worker Judy, his mom's platonic life partner, as well as his mom herself – impossible to believe or lacking nuance. Throughout, Luc is an entertaining and relatable mess. As the narrator, he provides all context, and it's impossible to say whether the absurd characters are real or whether Luc is an unreliable and judgmental narrator. The book is structured in five sections, each focused on either a wedding or a funeral within Luc's friend group and culminating in Luc and Oliver's wedding. The sequel to "Boyfriend Material" starts two years after its predecessor and continues to follow Luc and Oliver's relationship. ![]() ![]() ![]() Molly Tanzer - The Infernal History of the Ivybridge TwinsĬharles Saunders - Jeroboam Henley''s Debt From weird fiction masters to enigmatic rising stars, The Book of Cthulhu demonstrates how Mythos fiction has been a major cultural meme throughout the 20th century, and how this type of story is still salient, and terribly powerful today.Ĭaitlin R.

When the silence got too heavy, Giles cleared his throat. Obviously Giles had gotten that memo long before anyone else. Giles tried to tell himself Aaron was freaked about being outed, except it didn’t wash because after Baz, everybody knew. He wished he knew what it meant that Aaron still sat there, rigid, with his head bowed. Leaving felt…wrong, but sitting here was all kinds of awkward. Giles wasn’t sure what the hell he should do. ![]() Rehearsal was over, so they started filing out, all but Aaron and Giles, who sat frozen at their table.Īs Mina passed by, she jerked her head at Aaron and mouthed to Giles, Ask him out, now. ![]() ![]() Then, in the back of the room, someone whispered a little too loudly, “They should totally be a couple.”Īs Giles’s blush covered him like an ugly rash and Aaron ducked his head and shrank into his sweatshirt, the girls broke into giggles. The other girls chimed in with agreement and effusive praise for their talents as Aaron looked abashed and Giles’s ears heated at the tips. ![]() “You’re like Gilbert and Sullivan, or Menken and Ashman,” Karen told them one day at the end of rehearsal. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then the town council finally got on board, and since then they’ve been brilliant,” said Humm. ![]() About four years ago, I started the campaign again. ![]() “It was 20 years ago that the founding members of the Woolf Society first made approaches about a plaque on the property, but it came to nothing. It is scheduled to be unveiled on 11 September. Humm, who lives in London, said that after four years of pressing the town council, the local MP and heritage groups in St Ives, it was eventually agreed that a permanent marker should be placed on Talland House. It is the result of years of campaigning and fundraising by Professor Maggie Humm, vice-chair of the Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain, who says the property, Talland House, is a “crucial part of the Woolf story”. Almost a century after Virginia Woolf wrote those words for her 1927 novel To The Lighthouse, a commemorative plaque is to be installed on the house in the Cornish town of St Ives where she spent her childhood summers and was inspired by views of Godrevy lighthouse in the bay. ![]() ![]() ![]() Beginning with a scene-setting historical introduction by the editors, prominent figures in the Jesus quest set forth their views and respond to their fellow scholars.
