Beholder's Eye by Julie E. Czerneda6/28/2023 It had some great ideas, fabulous aliens, daring escapes, humour and a big, warm, beating heart. Heck, if you’re not impressed I am!Īnd this book was just the kind of scifi I like most too. I just read something in the same year that I bought it! This never happens! Be impressed (you can pretend – I’ll not know)!! J It normally takes me a good five years, at least, to dig out and read something I was extremely excited about at the time of purchase. I’ll say that again with more emphasis: this book I’ve just read was bought this year. Hmmm, you don’t seem as impressed as you should be. (It’s a really good post, which you can read here if you’re interested). I bought Beholder’s Eye earlier this year, in April in fact, right after Little Red Reviewer had Julie E Czerneda as a guest on her blog to promote her latest Web Shifters book.

Tiger mother book6/27/2023 "Leave her alone! What is wrong with you?" says Capicotto. Little do we know, Rachel is in for a surprise. Watch the scenario unfold on "What Would You Do?" Friday at 9 p.m. We hired two actresses - Rachel, to play the role of the Tiger Mother, and Misha, to play her daughter - to see how people would react if they saw a mother berate her daughter for earning an A-minus on a math test. She also writes, "Tiger mothers view childhood as a training period." And with that in mind, we thought we'd have our own trial run, taking her lessons straight from the tiger's mouth. In her book, she writes that Chinese parenting in America "is a never-ending uphill battle, requiring a 24/7 time commitment, resilience and guile." In her book, "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother," Chua explains that she uses the term "Asian parenting" loosely and that Tiger Parents can come from any number of immigrant communities.Įither way, out of the woodwork have come other self-proclaimed experts, branding their ideal parenting skills with such phrases as Helicopter Parents, Hippie Parents and Ostrich Parents, to name a few.Īlthough Chua says her best-selling book isn't a parenting guide but instead a memoir, there is no doubt that her Tiger Mother style of parenting is fierce and has been met with intense scrutiny.

Yertle the turtle read6/26/2023 Yertle isn't convinced and immediately tells him to shut up and downs him on what a lousy turtle he is for that and as he continues lamenting on what a king of what he sees he then creates a challenge for himself and calls over the number turtles from 10 to 209, who trembled in fear on King Yertle's command but had no choice but to come and climb on the stack of nine turtles, which makes it two hundred and nine turtles altogether. Mack begs Yertle to stop this due to the pain he is suffering from all the turtles on him and Yertle on top. Yertle proclaims that he is now a king of a cow, a mule, a house, a blueberry bush and a cat. One of the turtles below on the very bottom was named Mack the Turtle and he doesn't approve of the Yertle's rule. The pond he ruled over had everything the other number turtles needed such as food, and warm water and the turtles were very happy until Yertle became ungrateful about the throne he sits due to it being low and he thought that if he could make it higher he would be a great ruler of all he can see so he called the number turtles from 1 to 9, who serve him to attention.
