![]() ![]() ![]() It makes your root for the right characters right from the beginning. It was such a cute story, and like I said before a little predictable but I like these books that way. ![]() Megan doesn’t like roller coasters and is constantly explaining to people why she doesn’t want to ride them, and this co-worker, Parker, tries unsuccessfully to not only get her on the roller coaster but also to win over her heart.įrom there on it goes through a whole story of trials and tribulations of both Megan and Parker of containing their feelings and working hard. Once Megan gets to the park she is excited to start working as a cashier in the Hansel and Gretel store (where she has to dress in a hideous outfit) but there’s a plus! There’s a cute co-worker who works at the biggest roller coaster in the park. Megan describes her conflicted feelings over leaving her home, to adventure out at the amusement Thrill Ride! and how excited she is to meet new people, but that she’s going to really miss her boyfriend Nick. ![]() So, in this short book we follow Megan as she works at an amusement park over the summer, away from her family arguing over her sister’s wedding (Pro as Megan would say) and also away from her boyfriend of 3 months (Con). Sure, they’re a little predictable but that’s half the fun! (Especially if you predict it wrong and get a total shock at the end!) There so sweet, cute, and innocent, and this one was no different. ![]()

![]() ![]() Once inside the walls of Morningside, his case notes tell of repeated attempts by the patient to take his own life. Moses was what today might be referred to as a ‘textbook case’ of melancholia in the late-Victorian period: profound depression of mind, delusions of a religious nature, and persistent suicidal tendencies. He was given the diagnosis melancholia, with a special reference made to his persistent suicidal tendencies. The patient’s recent mental symptoms were listed as ‘delusions such as that his soul is lost, that he ought to die, and thinks he is committing great sins’. Upon admission, the attending physician determined that his ‘depression’ was ‘considerable’, and made a note of his ‘suicidal tendencies’, which consisted in ‘taking belladonna, refusing food, &c’. He was reported as having taken ‘a poisonous dose of Belladonna’, and his father and brother had seen it necessary to have him sent to the asylum since they felt that he could not ‘be left alone’ for the fear ‘that he would seek to destroy himself’. The two certifying physicians testified that the patient had communicated to them a belief that his soul was lost. ![]() On the medical certificate and reception order that accompanied his arrival it was stated that the patient, Moses B., was ‘suicidal’. On 15 August 1874, a young doctor was admitted as a private patient into the Royal Edinburgh Asylum at Morningside. ![]() ![]() Internationally acclaimed as a playwright, screen-writer, comic and sardonic commentator on the endless gaffs, absurdities and the profound and painful misunderstandings that continue to characterize social interactions between aboriginal and non-aboriginal peoples, Taylor’s stories in Fearless Warriors are a full frontal assault on stereotypes of all kinds and an edifying affirmation of humanity unlike anything else in fiction.Įach of these stories is as remarkably different in terms of its unique narrative tone, origin and direction, as are the characters of his plays, making Taylor’s singular collection of fictions quite intentionally much more than the sum of their parts. ![]() ![]() Our dedicated team is trying to bring these rare books back to the shelves.

Bess has been in mourning in the ten years since. She had not anticipated that their 14-year-old daughter would not only refuse to stay with her mother but would cut off all contact with her. Bess had been married before but had left her husband Troels to be with Halland, after a five-minute encounter in a bookshop. She thinks she understands why life with Halland, apparently harmonious and intellectually refreshing, was under strain. Or, the world that Bess thought they had created. At first confused and defensive at being accused of committing the crime, Bess gradually comes into focus as we witness her thoughts about her past life and the world she and Halland had created together. In its delicately constructed 157 pages, we come to know Bess, whose partner Halland is mysteriously shot on the third page (one of the old "rules" of crime fiction is to have the murder on page 3). THE MURDER OF HALLAND is in many ways a perfect "literary" crime novella.
