![]() ![]() Instead, Grant gives the reader an inside account of the siege of Vicksburg, a battle of tremendous importance to the Union’s ultimate victory, which is often obscured because it ended on the same day as that more famous battle in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. There are no Bull Runs or Antietams here. Grant served in the West during the early years of the conflict. It is a perspective that differs from many military histories of the war. Grant then embarks on a gripping account of the Civil War from his own perspective. Instead, the words spill forth from the page and propel the reader through a brief description of his early life, his education at West Point, and his service in the war with Mexico. The writing does not suffer from Grant’s apparent haste. ![]() However, nearing the end of his life, and with his family’s financial security in doubt, Grant put forth a tremendous effort to tell the story of his military service. Grant had resolved not to write his memoirs. Moreover, Grant’s prose is clear and evocative, proving him to be a great writer,and the author of one of the finest examples of the military memoir. Most famous as a general, Grant’s life spans an important part of U.S. history, we should take time to reconsider one of the war’s most important figures, Ulysses S.

A fetching view, it was also that of Jackson and his legion of partisans. The central theme of this volume, rarely set forth before with such thoroughness, this view has long been the stuff of history texts. ![]() His charisma, popularity, and accomplishments made it all possible.” ![]() Andrew Jackson was their agent - he “loosed the power of the masses,” in Remini’s words - and his eight-year administration was the engine of national life, a “moral force.” “More than any other single individual,” Remini argues,”he contributed to and symbolized the arrival and acceptance of (the concept of democracy). A restless people, moving both to the West and into the cities, found their voice. ![]() An arrangement of carefully calibrated structural checks and balances and legislative representation gave way to a national political community in which the will of the majority of adult white males was embodied in the chief magistrate of the land. During the rough half-century of Jackson’s public career, the American republic became a democracy, a modest national territory became nearly continental, and the population rushed in to settle and exploit its new frontiers. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Zafira embarks on a quest to uncover a lost artifact that can restore magic to her suffering world and stop the Arz, Nasir is sent by the sultan on a similar mission: retrieve the artifact and kill the Hunter. War is brewing, and the Arz sweeps closer with each passing day, engulfing the land in shadow. Both Zafira and Nasir are legends in the kingdom of Arawiya–but neither wants to be. If Zafira was exposed as a girl, all of her achievements would be rejected if Nasir displayed his compassion, his father would punish him in the most brutal of ways. ![]() Nasir is the Prince of Death, assassinating those foolish enough to defy his autocratic father, the sultan. Zafira is the Hunter, disguising herself as a man when she braves the cursed forest of the Arz to feed her people. We Free The Stars (Sands of Arawiya, #1) by Hafsah Faizal ![]() ![]() It spike my interest and I thought how good this book could be? I went to Goodreads to read the blurb and I instantly add this series to my TBR list!īut one thing I did not expect, I am putting 472 pages and 592 pages of books into my book cart.ġ. I first take notice of We Hunt The Flame by bloggers and bookstagram community. Honestly, I have never ever thought this book could be HUGE. ![]() ![]() ![]() A year before that, Tarver Merendsen and Lilac LaRoux were the only survivors of the Icarus shipwreck, forced to live a double life after their rescue. The stunning second novel in the Starbound trilogy is an unforgettable story of love and forgiveness in a world torn apart by war.Ī year ago, Flynn Cormac and Jubilee Chase made the now-infamous Avon Broadcast, calling on the galaxy to witness LaRoux Industries' corruption. He and Lee escape base together, caught between two sides in a senseless war. ![]() But as his fellow rebels prepare to execute this tough-talking girl with nerves of steel, Flynn makes another choice that will change him forever. But they never fulfilled their promise on Avon, and decades later, Flynn is leading the rebellion.ĭesperate for any advantage against the military occupying his home, Flynn does the only thing that makes sense when he and Lee cross paths: he returns to base with her as prisoner. These corporations make their fortune by terraforming uninhabitable planets across the universe and recruiting colonists to make the planets livable, with the promise of a better life for their children. His sister died in the original uprising against the powerful corporate conglomerate that rules Avon with an iron fist. Lee is captain of the forces sent to Avon to crush the terraformed planet's rebellious colonists, but she has her own reasons for hating the insurgents. ![]() Jubilee Chase and Flynn Cormac should never have met. ![]() ![]() ![]() After this Christmas, I’ll only have one “non-adult.”įavourite Christmas Day activity- Taking down the tree! Well, for me, it’s not taking down. They went from infants to toddlers, from kids to teens, and now most are adults. We may be flawed, messed-up people, but we’re family, and that is a beautiful thing. Children waking, coming into the living room, talking, laughing, singing. It’s a lifetime of Christmas Days over the past 29 years. Lol! How did we ever survive without “the Google”?įavourite Christmas memory- It’s not just one day. But how would the Scots have known that? They didn’t have “the Google” as my mother calls it! Don’t ask why they named it Hungarian… I suspect because the Hungarians LOVE their sweets. ![]() Although, it often has a few more sequences than the original! And they often confuse that refrain with the refrain from ‘Ding, Dong, Merrily on High’! □įavourite Christmas food- Hungarian Coffee Cake. My kids love singing the ‘Gloria’ refrain of that last one. Otherwise… hmmm “What Child is This” or “Angels We Have Heard on High” I LOVE to sing “We Three Kings.” The harmony on that is so gorgeous. ~ Christmas with Chautona Havig ~įavourite Christmas carol/hymn- Well, that depends on whether I want to listen or sing. Feel free to visit any of the posts you’ve missed via the links at the end of this post, but for now, let’s welcome Chautona Havig to the blog! ![]() It’s the eleventh day of Christmas reads!

Nicky Drayden is a Systems Analyst who dabbles in prose when she’s not buried in code. Whether creating imagined futures or alternate universes, speculative fiction writers must be able to immerse readers into their new worlds on the page. The panelists will discuss how they build their own speculative worlds in their novels, and how they weave worldbuilding into every aspect of the story, from setting to plot to character arcs, from science to magic systems. Worldbuilding is a key part of creating fictional narratives, and it is a core element of storytelling found in the speculative fiction genre.

Though in truth it’s a cheating answer – because from there I could get (more or less) easily to other worlds: Terry Pratchett’s Discworld, Robin Hobb’s Realm of Elderlings, Neal Stephenson’s Arbre from his absolutely mind-blowing Anathem (the review of which will come soon!), Ursula Le Guin’s Earthsea, Glen Cook’s world of the Black Company (but I’d only go there if I had a guarantee I would come back, even the mythical Khatovar doesn’t strike me as a good place to live), Iain Banks’s utopian Culture worlds and Neal Asher’s Polity, and so many others!Ī specific place that you would like to visit I hope I’ll get to visit New Zealand as an acceptable substitute □Īs I am already in the Earth-equivalent of Middle Earth, the fictional world I’d like to visit the most would be Amber – the pattern-world of fantasy worlds created by Roger Zelazny. ![]() |
