Displacement is based on the family history of author/illustrator Kiku Hughes, and Kiku herself is the protagonist of the story. ![]() Blessed in which she rounds up books with wonderful covers (and indeed, this book's cover is just one of countless gorgeous illustrations throughout the pages). ![]() I discovered this book on a post by fellow #IMWAYRer Sierra Dertinger at Books. ![]()

![]() Elder’s Idea,” published in Gilman’s own periodical, The Forerunner, readers can again encounter this witty, original, and audacious woman who dared to challenge the status quo and who created fiction that continues to be fresh and timeless. From “The Unexpected,” printed in Kate Field’s Washington in 1890, to such later tales as “Mrs. Noted anthologist Barbara Solomon has put together a remarkable collection of Gilman’s fiction, which includes twenty short stories and the complete text of Herland, the landmark utopian novel that remained unavailable for more than sixty years. Gilman writes a story where women are descended by parthenogenesis from an aboriginal virgin mother, and are isolated from the rest of the world by treacherous. ![]() Her most famous short story, the intensely personal “The Yellow Wallpaper,” was read as a horror story when first published in 1892 and then lapsed into obscurity before being rediscovered and reinterpreted by feminist scholars in the 1970s. ![]() She was also widely read, with stories in popular magazines and with dozens of books in print. ![]() At the turn of the twentieth century, Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a celebrity-acclaimed as a leader in the feminist movement and castigated for her divorce, her relinquishment of custody of her daughter, and her unconventional second marriage. Herlandia is an adaptation of Charlotte Perkins Gilmans 1915 novel, Herland, in which a group of male explorers chance upon a feminist utopia composed. ![]() ![]() And mostly to show how much of a giant ass he is. Tuvok causally destroying someone's brain seemed odd.Ĭhakatoy's role also was larger in this book. *boom, Spock appears 'Mind meld anyone?'* Though there his mind melds, many of which were, if I recall correctly, without consent, but weren't brain destroying. I know Spock seemed to do them at a drop of a hat. I had some vague recollection that Tuvok was reluctant to do mind melds, or maybe I'm thinking of a different Vulcan. Tuvok performed an invasive mind meld that literally destroyed a guy's brain pathways. There was an incident during a prison break that seemed off. I'd say he continued to act within the characterization that I had come to expect, except he didn't really. ![]() Tuvok's time on the screen, or, um, page, was slightly more than in the fist book. As expected (at least in terms of people from the show). Of the Voyager crew from the tv show, Janeway still keeps much of the stage for herself. I just know that I started it, and shortly thereafter I looked down and saw that I was at 47% complete (as opposed to the current book I'm read, the third in the series, which is only at 41% at the moment and feels like it's the size of three of the second books combined). I think it was book length, but I'm not really certain. ![]() ![]() The first one seemed closer to 400 than 200, but could have been anywhere between 200 and 800 pages in length. ![]() I really wish I knew how many pages these books contained. ![]() ![]() ![]() In A Fortress Defiled, Jillian confronts a blood-thirsty thug who is kidnapping and murdering St. She turns to Sondra, a friend from childhood, who is able to read and interpret the reincarnational past. Apprehension mounts as Jillian realizes the enormity of the past life involvement. ![]() She must reclaim her stolen power, and bring them to justice. It is now her job, both personal and professional, to break the links that have chained her to them in previous existences. Jillian has shared previous existences with them, and has been victimized and abused by their heinous actions. ![]() The murderers of today are malevolent manifestations, ghoulish beings echoing down through the ages. Jillian embraces the dark side theory, as well she should.Īs Jillian embarks upon each investigation, troublesome past life experiences, shared with the killers, are revealed. The second is that there has been no increase, but improved technology gives society coordinated information to a dark side of humanity that has always existed. The first is that violence of this nature is on the increase. There are two major theories regarding serial killings and other murderous atrocities. Ritual slaughter, as practice by certain cults, is also a part of their jurisdiction. Serial killings are under the purview of Special Homicide, as are mass murders. ‘Special' in Jillian's world, indicates murder that is excessively brutal or bizarre. Jillian Jax is an agent in the Special Homicide Unit, an elite division within the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension. ![]() ![]() ![]() We are also keen to involve all those who are interested in the debate and therefore would welcome feedback.

The book finally catches fire during Bronwen’s psychological crisis, at last engaging readers’ feelings as the protagonist summons up the courage to express herself, leading to an emotionally satisfying resolution. It’s a believable journey, though it’s flatter than it should be, probably because the central romantic relationship is essentially dull and without conflict. In the course of the story Bronwen tastes true love, gets in touch with her feelings and breaks through to her family. ![]() This is because Bronwen struggles with her own, more distant clan: a disengaged brother, a mother who cares more about appearances than honesty and a stepfather who failed to adopt her as promised. ![]() And although her boyfriend, Jared, is portrayed as being almost perfect, part of his charm lies with his family, a warm and affectionate unit Bronwen longs to be part of. It doesn’t sound like much of a problem, but it is, because, despite his wonderfulness, Bronwen isn’t ready to get married. ![]() A 17-year-old girl who suppresses her own desires to please others gets engaged to a wonderful guy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness! ![]() Stories about things that happened to other people because of me ![]() So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative-like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it-but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is.
