Between the family tormented by escalating scares, which included horrid face scratches, and footage of what threatens to debunk the entire event as a hoax, the sanity of those on set, out in the field, and the viewer themselves seems to be put at risk. ![]() ![]() The line between reality and fiction is further blurred, as the phone number provided was reportedly the BBC’s actual call-in line.

However, that's what I like about Holly's characters: they're flawed. I was sometimes able to connect and relate to their thoughts and sometimes I couldn't. She's 17 years old but at times I felt she acted like a 14 or 15 year old. Amber was fairly good MC, yet she felt younger than she really is. I actually really liked the book, although at times it really dragged (it's almost 500 pages - for a contemporary, that's too much for me!!). Because that means you've not done anything you cared about.” Also, just like in Am I Normal Yet?, the book discussed feminism, but in my opinion, it was more discussed in Am I Normal Yet? and I honestly love Holly Bourne's take on feminism. ![]() It dealt with pretty deep subjects: alcoholism and abandonment. ![]() This is Amber's book, and when I read Am I Normal Yet?, I was wondering what her story would be about because we were barely given any clue about Amber's life, except how shaky her family is, so I was curious to delve deeper into that and that's exactly what I got. Like book 1 (Am I Normal Yet?), How Hard Can Love Be? had the good balance between cute and serious. I think it worked? However, the book was just what I needed at the time. I've been in a slump since last week basically, and I decided to start my only owned contemporary book as an attempt to get out of this slump. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Items in order will be sent as soon as they arrive in the warehouse.

Cratylus discusses the nature of language. In the famous Symposium and Phaedrus, written when Socrates was still alive, we find the origin and meaning of love. The Apology (not a dialogue), Crito, Euthyphro, and the unforgettable Phaedo relate the trial and death of Socrates and propound the immortality of the soul. In Gorgias, Socrates is estranged from his city's thought, and his fate is impending. Protagoras, Ion, and Meno discuss whether righteousness can be taught. In Laches, Charmides, and Lysis, Socrates and others discuss separate ethical conceptions. Linguistic tests including those of computer science still try to establish the order of his extant philosophical dialogues, written in splendid prose and revealing Socrates' mind fused with Plato's thought.

A long interval, during which we coaxed the old dog, and looked at a picture of Miss Bronte, by Richmond, the solitary ornament of the room, looking strangely out of place on the bare walls, and at the books on the little shelves, most of them evidently the gift of the authors since Miss Bronte's celebrity. Presently the door opened, and in came a superannuated mastiff, followed by an old gentleman very like Miss Bronte, who shook hands with us, and then went to call his daughter. ![]() |
