And guess what, advanced tech doesn´t mean better brains, technological singularity comes many millennia before higher brain functions and logic dominate over instinct ridden, animalistic tribe behavior. By linking 2 parallel, different universes, dimensions, realities co dependent in potential mutually assured destruction, Hamilton unleashes an amazing plot dynamic.ĭreams enabling a connection to parallel, or separated, or other, dimensions, are used as a central visionary element to accelerate the development towards typical reactions, depending on the technological and sociocultural stage of the population. ![]() ![]() ![]() Like Dare to Lead by Brene Brown, I’ve been on the waitlist for literally 6 months. Would you believe Tunnel of Bones was available for download right then! I was so excited! Normally the really good books have a huge waitlist. ![]() So I checked my local library via Libby (Overdrive) to see what was available. I have Audible but the credit wouldn’t arrive until the drive back home. I was going to be on a 12-hour drive to El Paso for a funeral and needed an audiobook. Sometimes though, I indulge in a sequel and this was one of them. Meanwhile, I read other books and tell other kids about those. They give it a try, get hooked, and read through the series. If I read book one, I can tell the kids about that. This means I don’t get the luxury of reading the whole series. I try to keep up with all the latest books my middle school kids might be interested in reading. ![]() ![]() She wasn’t the only one that didn’t turn up on the first day of school. Some things were made to sink without ripples. That’s why it didn’t blip when she didn’t turn up for senior year. ![]() Apparently Malinda was getting fucked in more ways than one. The type of guy that was part of a supply chain all too common in the town. It got around that she got suspended for a week for blowing someone in one of the cleaning stores. She’d walk by the little knots and cliques in the corridor and someone would say slut or whore in a stage whisper, loud enough for me to hear from twenty feet away. There was something a little darker about the girl. Just filling up the space around the people that mattered. The human equivalent of styrofoam package stuffing. The smart ones would get a one-way ticket out and never look back. School broke for summer and we never saw her again. ![]() A town too stupid to know it was already dead.Įxit Malinda Paige. A town full of hard people, made so because of the mountains we lived in. The 70s and 80s tore through the region like a disemboweling knife, spilling the guts of industry to dry under the summer sun. I think back to the start of last term, when the three young men that killed themselves. The entire town would sling a rope around a tree and clap and cheer as she jitterbugged her way to hell. ![]() ![]() Even members of the Resistance are starting to look at her sideways. Suddenly Ember can't even step onto the street without fear of being recognised, and "laying low" is a joke. The second book in the series was titled Breaking Point and was released a year later. Orders are shoot to kill, and soldiers are cleared to fire on suspicion alone. Until the government posts its most-wanted list, and their number one suspect is Ember herself. Rumors are flying about the sniper's true identity, and Ember and Chase welcome the diversion… ![]() Near-celebrities now for the increasingly sensationalised tales of their struggles with the government, Ember and Chase are recognized and taken in by the Resistance – an underground organisation working to systematically take down the government. At headquarters, all eyes are on the sniper, an anonymous assassin taking out FBR soldiers one by one. After faking their deaths to escape from prison, Ember Miller and Chase Jennings have only one goal: to lay low until the Federal Bureau of Reformation forgets they ever existed. ![]() ![]() After being found guilty she is sent to spend 3 nights in the woods on a full moon. After the horrible encounter set up by her nasty Stepmother doesn’t go to plan she reports Selena to the elders saying she’s a changeling, As the trial approaches Selena is left feeling terrified. Serena wants nothing more than to run away and the only way out for her is to marry, but the last thing she wants is to trade one horrible situation to end up the same or an even worse situation. (kind of gave me a Cinderella feeling at first.) ![]() Only together can they go to war …Īfter loosing both her parents Serena is stuck with her dreadful stepmother who’s only purpose goes into making her feel awful and treating her like a slave. ![]() For only together, and with Serena’s unique gifts, can they survive long enough to build the flames of a revolution.

Maisey checked her mascara in the rear-view mirror. We were a mere fifteen-minute drive from the party, from making my move on Blake, and I had no idea what I was going to say. Maisey’s beat-up Buick idled quietly on the narrow road in front of our friend Becca’s house. Making my move on my crush wouldn’t solve everything-it probably wouldn’t solve anything-but thinking about Blake and his caramel brown eyes and how he shoved his hands in his pockets when he thought hard about something would make me forget. I’d be able to forget how my parents spent hours screaming at one another about every minute detail of their divorce agreement. Tonight I would just be a high school girl crushing hard on a guy. ![]() I needed the distraction, and Blake Haltom was going to be it. ![]() Tonight was the night to get a boyfriend. ![]() ![]() He co-authored The Text of the New Testament (4th Edition)-an academic standard in the field-with Bruce Metzger, arguably the greatest New Testament manuscript scholar alive at the time. 2 Indeed, Ehrman points out, the manuscripts “differ from one another in so many places that we don’t even know how many differences there are.” 3įurther, Bart Ehrman is an accomplished scholar with impeccable bona fides. There are 130,000 words in the New Testament, yet the surviving manuscripts (the handwritten copies) reveal something like 400,000 individual times the wording disagrees between them. ![]() Įhrman is right on the facts, as far as they go. There are more variations among our manuscripts than there are words in the New Testament 1. What good is it to say that the autographs (i.e., the originals) were inspired? We don’t have the originals! We have only error-ridden copies, and the vast majority of these are centuries removed from the originals and different from them, evidently, in thousands of ways. ![]() In Misquoting Jesus, the New York Times bestseller subtitled The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why, author Bart Ehrman fires a shot meant to sink the ship of any Christian who thinks the New Testament documents can be trusted.
