All about love new visions5/30/2023 She proposes a transformative love based on affection, respect, recognition, commitment, trust and care, rather than the customary forms stemming from gender stereotypes, domination, control, ego and aggression. Turning away, we risk moving in a wilderness of spirit so intense we may never find our way home again."" With an engaging narrative style, hooks presents a series of possible ways to reverse what she sees as the emotional and cultural fallout caused by flawed visions of love largely defined by men who have been socialized to distrust its value and power. A distinguished professor of English at City College in New York City, she explains her sense of urgency about confronting a subject that countless writers have analyzed: ""I feel our nation's turning away from love as intensely as I felt love's abandonment in my girlhood. Taking on yet another popular topic in her role as cultural critic, hooks blends the personal and the psychological with the philosophical in her latest book-a thoughtful but frequently familiar examination of love American style.

Girard5/30/2023 Her voice is so honest and raw that it is enrapturing. ~ Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “A powerful book about identity, belonging, and the collision between sexuality and cultural expectations.” Pen is an inspiration to anyone who’s struggled to be understood, and a vital addition to the growing world of genderqueer protagonists.” “Girard’s novel is compulsively readable, by turns wrenching and euphoric. “A strong genderqueer lesbian character, imperfect, independent, and deserving of every cheer.” ~ School Library Journal (starred review) Recommended for fans of YA urban fiction as well as those who prefer grittier LGBTQ lit.” There is no sugarcoating in this very real portrayal of an aspect of teen life that many experience. “This is a fresh title in the growing sea of LGBTQ YA literature. While undoubtedly true, don’t parents owe their children the same? That the author effortlessly inspires such reflection is nothing short of remarkable.” One such example is the idea that children owe their parents respect. “In addition to being an enjoyable, engrossing story, Girl Mans Up makes the reader question things that we, as a society, take for granted. Alison goodman eona5/30/2023 Soon Eon would realize more than her master's hope would be on her shoulders. I liked Eon's strength on how she handled and accepted the burden of all her masters hopes that was put on her, even though continually living her life as a boy did cause her some confusion. I guess being poor and laboring in the salt farm most of her life gave Eon a small frame. But you see the thing about Eon is, he's not male and is older than twelve, the age of all dragoneye contestants. And this is basically the main angle of the book, young male contestants enter a yearly competition to become the Daragoneye Apprentice for the upcoming Animal sign.Įon was a candidate for his Master Heuris Brannon, who put all his eggs in one basket hoping Eon would be chosen as the Dragoneye, and help him reclaim his position as a Lord and get in a position to hinder the corruption in the counsel trying to dethrone the emperor. I've always been interested in the Chinese Zodiac Animal signs. One of the things I really liked about it was the Chinese and Japanese influences in the story. First of all I didn't have any expectations of how I would receive it but has it turns out I really enjoyed it. Eon: Dragoneye Reborn is certainly unlike any book I've ever read and I'm at a loss at how to go about reviewing it.
