![]() I’m numb! My entire vocabulary was ejected! I cannot tell how I feel about WTfreakingH I just read! Okay! No, nothing is okay! My brain swims in a ice bucket, already left my head. Part millennial social comedy, part psychedelic horror, and all wildly entertaining, A Touch of Jen is a sly, unflinching examination of the hidden drives that lurk just outside the frame of our carefully curated selves. Once there, Remy and Alicia try (a little too hard) to fit into Jen’s exalted social circle, but violent desire and class resentment bubble beneath the surface of this beach-side paradise, threatening to erupt. As small disturbances escalate into outright horror, Remy and Alicia tumble into an uncanny alternate reality, one shaped by their most unspeakable, deviant, and intoxicating fantasies. Is this what “self-actualization” looks like? Imagine their confused excitement when they run into Jen, in the flesh, and she invites them on a surfing trip to the Hamptons with her wealthy boyfriend and their group. In and outside the bedroom, Remy and Alicia's entire relationship revolves around fantasies of Jen, whose every Instagram caption, outfit, and New Age mantra they know by heart. ![]() ![]() Remy and Alicia, a couple of insecure service workers, are not particularly happy together-but they are bound by a shared obsession with Jen, a beautiful former co-worker of Remy’s who now seems to be following her bliss as a globe-trotting jewelry designer. ![]()

I often get caught up in the new young adult releases – the novels that appear on my favorite blogs, on Goodreads, and on the new books shelf at the library – that it’s sometimes weeks in between each middle grade book I read. Regardless, it’s not the time, but what’s inside the books I read that matters. ![]() Blogging has been spotty lately, but I hope you can forgive me: it’s Homecoming week! Class officers do much of the planning for the annual pep rally and spirit week, so if I haven’t been blogging, I’ve likely been making copies, finding volunteers, or picking out decorations. Fortunately, preparations are set, so fingers crossed all goes well this afternoon, tying the elements together in a satisfying conclusion. ![]() ![]() Thibodeau is brutally honest about himself, Koresh, and the other members, and the result is a revelatory look at life inside a cult. ![]() We get inside the day-to-day life of the community. We meet the men, women, and children of Mt. In this book, Thibodeau explores why so many people came to believe that Koresh was divinely inspired. He remained there until April 19, 1993, when the compound was stormed and burnt to the ground after a fifty-one-day standoff. Intrigued and frustrated with a stalled music career, Thibodeau gradually became a follower and moved to the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas. When he first met the man who called himself David Koresh, David Thibodeau was drumming for a rock band that was going nowhere fast. For the first time ever, a survivor of the Waco massacre tells the inside story of Branch Davidians, David Koresh, and what really happened at the religious compound in Texas. ![]() ![]() Summary: To commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the FBI's siege at Waco compound and a tie-in to the Spike TV mini-series comes an updated reissue of the critically acclaimed A Place Called Waco by Branch Davidian survivor David Thibodeau, now titled Waco: A Survivor's Story. ![]() ![]() Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Perez, Marlene.

Lovecraft’s short stories and novellas, following a chronological order – as they are structured in the Barnes & Noble edition of H.P. The plan is to write a few paragraphs – a small review – on each of H.P. We are nothing compared to what lies out there, beyond our reach and understanding. Howard Phillips Lovecraft is the father of cosmic horror – the genre constructed around the notion that we humans are just a tiny, insignificant part of the universe, which holds much bigger, ancient, and more powerful beings. ![]() ![]() Crime never pays, yet the criminals keep on trying again and again.
