When women were dragons book5/27/2023 ![]() In this coming-of-age story, Alex grows up with the constant mystery of why some women dragon and what the phenomenon means for her family and her future.Īlex’s story, dragons aside, is a pretty straightforward coming of age tale taking her from her childhood through her early twenties, and revisiting her as an older woman. But across the country, women are turning into dragons and flying away in a process allied simply ‘dragoning’ – a few at a time, usually, with the exception of “the Mass Dragoning 0f 1955 – also known as The Day of Missing Mothers”. People are reluctant to even mention them, and the government suppresses news and research about them. This is not a romance, but it will appeal to those who like women’s history with a side of rage and fantasy.Īlex Green is a little girl in 1950’s middle America when she first sees a dragon. ![]() I couldn’t stop reading it even when it made my chest hurt, and I’ve thought of it so many times since, with scenes popping into my head as though I just read them yesterday. ![]() When Women Were Dragons is unlike any other book I’ve read and I found to be painful, joyous, and liberating.

The locked tomb alecto5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Which is exactly what Muir's works have done, thanks to an early review of Gideon. "But when you get out into bookstores like six books with gay wizards. " SFF through the lens of social media you’d think that every book was about gay wizards now," Muir tells Bustle of the attention the Locked Tomb trilogy and books of its kind are getting. And between Muir's openly queer cast and her dialogue dripping in internet culture - think: references to Daniel Radcliffe's much-gifed SNL skit and memes like I Studied the Blade - the Locked Tomb trilogy became a welcome reprieve for LGBTQ+ millennial readers who can't often find their experiences in the pages of mainstream fiction. The novel was the first installment of Muir's Locked Tomb trilogy, which follows best frenemies Harrow and Gideon: a noble-born necromancer and her cavalier guardian, respectively. The 35-year-old author first exploded onto the science fiction and fantasy scene with her 2019 debut, Gideon the Ninth. Tamsyn Muir has carved out a literary niche for herself as the queen of the lesbian necromancers. ![]()

Excavation by James Rollins5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() except 99% of the time they were the incompetent nitwits. ![]() The entire book all the good guys and gals modulate between acting like Keystone Cops or. well, at least they finally figure it out after having known each other for years and years life and death situations will apparently do that for you. “Wonderfully” man hero meets woman femme fatale. well, at least they finally figure it out after working side by side for months and months life and death situations will apparently do that for you. “Thankfully” boy hero meets girl femme fatale. It took me forever to finish because it was just dumb, not engaging at all.Īll the men and women, boys and girls were one-dimensional caricatures of stereotypes Indy! Indy Senior! Marion! Shorty! Bad Guys! Mummy! And the story unfolds in Indiana Jones meets Da Vinci Code fashion. Let’s just say that I found it generally dumb. I don’t know that I could come up with enough super superlatives to quite do it justice. with maybe a little Wonkaville thrown in. It was like Indiana Jones crossed with Da Vinci Code crossed with Jurassic Park crossed with Zombie Apocalypse crossed with At Play in the Fields of the Lord. Long story short, I didn’t think it was very entertaining or creative. ![]()

How have you been able to continue the drama of your series?

Antisocial by Bradley Campbell5/27/2023 ![]() ![]() Results of a moderation analysis revealed that RF moderated the relationship between infant negative affect and toddler behavior problems, such that when parental RF was high there was a nonsignificant relationship between infant negative affect and toddler behavior problems. However, infant negative affect correlated positively with toddler behavior problems and both correlated with cumulative sociodemographic risk. Dustin Henry, Dylan Fulford, Mike Campbell, Magnus Hanson, Kevin Lowry, Andrew McGraw, Mike Vince, Will Marshall, Zander Mitchell, Justin David, Jed Anderson. ![]() ![]() One scale on the measure is the Antisocial scale which consists of 24 items and has three subscales tapping Egocentricity, Sensation Seeking, and Antisocial Behavior. Results suggest that parental RF was not associated with infant negative affect or toddler behavior problems. Personality Assessment Inventory-Antisocial Scale (PAI-ANT Morey 2007) The PAI is a multi-scale self-report inventory consisting of 344 items. During a lab visit when their infant was 16 months old, mothers participated in the Parent Development Interview–Revised Short Form, which was coded for R F. They also completed the Child Behavior Checklist over the phone when their infant was 18 months old. Mothers provided self-report demographic data and completed the Infant Behavior Questionnaire–Revised during a home visit when the infant was 7 months old. This study assessed the links between infant negative affect, parental reflective functioning (RF), and toddler behavior problems in a sample of 84 women and their infants. ![]()
