The book features descriptions of over 300 perfumes, starting with Fougere Royale (1882) and ending with Demeter's Laundromat (2000). In "Scent and Subversion: Decoding a Century of Provocative Perfume, "Barbara Herman continues her irreverent, poetic, and often humorous analysis of vintage perfumes and perfume ads that she began on her popular blog. By playing with gender conventions, highlighting the ripe smells of the human body, or celebrating queer and louche identities, 20th-century perfume broke free from the assumptions of the prior century, and became a largely unrecognized part of the social and style revolutions of the modern era. Perfume has been - and continues to be - subversive. Let "Scent and Subversion" take you for a whiff on the wild side of 20th century perfume.

Sins & Needles completely starts off with a bang! With one swift movement, I made a tight, nails-first fist around them and tugged. “Sergei, my future fake husband, wasn’t short, but I had long arms and as I pushed aside his gut, I found his balls. This is more or less how Sins & Needles begins: When Camden discovers Ellie's plan to con him, he makes her a deal she doesn't dare refuse, but her freedom comes with a price and it's one that takes both Ellie and Camden down a dangerous road. Ellie's counting on Camden still being in love with her but what she's not counting on is how easily unrequited love can turn into obsession over time. Once known as the high school weirdo, Camden is bigger and badder than the boy he used to be and a talented tattoo artist with his own thriving business. But returning to the dry desert town of Palm Valley, California means one more temptation than she bargained for-Camden McQueen. Now she's much older, wiser and ready to give her con artist life a rest. The daughter of a grifting team, Ellie spent her childhood being used as a pawn in her parents' latest scam. Published by: Metal Blonde Books on January 24, 2013Įllie Watt is used to starting over. He's 80 years old and decrepit by the end of the novel, so each chapter follow him five or seven or ten years further on in his life and he's you. "It's not based on any person as such and he doesn't stay a boy. It follows him from birth until death as he tries to get wealthy and falls in love with this girl he is sort of pursuing his whole life. "You are the central protagonist," Hamid told Asia Blog, "you the reader are also you this character who is a young boy, initially dirt poor, in a village moves to the city. In another departure from novelistic norms, the book is written in the second person. Named one of the "most anticipated" releases of 2013 by literary site The Millions and already excerpted in The New Yorker, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia purports to be a self-help book with unnamed characters set in an unnamed place that is loosely based on Lahore, where Hamid lives. KARACHI - Among the many authors, artists, poets, performers and activists convened here by the fourth annual Karachi Literature Festival last week, one of the most prominent was Pakistan's own Mohsin Hamid, on hand to introduce his latest book, How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia. L: American cover art for "How to Get Filthy Rich in a Rising Asia," the forthcoming novel by Mohsin Hamid (R), shown here at an Asia Society India Centre event in Mumbai in Dec. Reborn is full length (115k) words, and is the final in the Shadow Beast Shifters series, and does NOT end on a cliffhanger. *If you like sexy, dark paranormal romances, with humor, steam, action, a tough heroine and an antihero, this is for you. I need to get to the bottom of this mystery.Īnd when I figure out who stole my memories, they’re going to wish they never messed with Mera Callahan. It’s my nature after all.Īs I search out random growls, flutters in my chest, and a suspicion that there’s so much more going on than I could even imagine, I sense that I’m racing against an unknown clock. Whoever did this to me should have known I’d pick at it until it bled. Someone messed with me and no matter how often I’m told to forget it and move on as Torin’s mate, there’s no way I can. I’m being lied to and missing weeks and months of time. Funny how quickly dreams turn into nightmares. It seems my childhood dreams were finally a reality. I’d all but given up, until a quirk of true mate genetics gifted me a true mate like no other. Of course, that dream existed before my father betrayed the pack and turned me into their punching bag. Growing up in Torma, the strongest of the shifter packs, I wanted nothing more than to find my true mate and live my best life. So why does it taste like ash on my tongue? I finally have the life I always dreamed of. The epic conclusion to the Shadow Beast Shifters. I get a sense in these books of James Michener for some reason. There’s something about Adams’ style, though, that feels almost anti-fantasy, starring animals as animals, naked and living by instinct yet with consciousness and personalities… like real animals. I’m also not a fan of the more fanciful styles, like Brian Jacques’ Redwall series, a well-written tale for sure, just not to my taste. I don’t like the simplistic animal-characters-in-a-human-world structures of some popular books, like The Wind in the Willows or the lesser-known Bird Life in Wington. I’m not normally interested in animal stories. This story about two dogs and a fox on the run in the British countryside was a satisfying answer to that hankering. It’s been a few years since I read Watership Down by Richard Adams, but recently had a hankering for another epic adventure in the style of that bunnies’ tale.
