![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I love them so much together, they’re so adorable! I think they’re the most adorable teen couples ever. I was really sad when I learned that Nick and Harriet broke up. I just knew that I’m going to get a great reading experience because a.) it’s written by Holly Smale and b.) It’s Geek Girl! When I requested this book from Edelweiss, I didn’t even read the synopsis. I dove into the book without knowing anything. In this book, Harriet signs on to a modeling project with Yuka Ito in Tokyo, where she spent her summer vacation in order to get away from home, thinking she couldn’t fit it with the new baby coming. Like the first book, Model Misfit brought hilarity, humor, drama and romance. Of course between being bored to death and amused with my nose buried in a book, I’ll totally choose the latter. Despite the weird looks, people give me because I sometimes laugh to myself while reading this, I still pushed through and read. I started reading this book out in public, while waiting on the queue. This is one of my most anticipated books to read this year and I’m so happy I got the chance to read this early. ![]()

The fact is, with 134 women for every 100 men, there is simply no way all the young college-grad women who wish to marry college-grad men can do so. ![]() I foresee a rise in what I call “mixed-collar marriages" - professional women marrying working-class men. Today, the odds of a college graduate marrying a non-graduate are lower than at any point since the 1950s.īut that is bound to change. The college gender gap might not matter if educated Americans were more open-minded about whom they marry. “Breakups are rare, and many couples get married after CalTech.” “Students here tend not to date but have relationships,” one college review site wrote of the California Institute of Technology, which is over 60 percent male. Whether or not you have a background in statistics Birger makes the concepts come alive in easy-to-understand prose and examples. Colleges with disproportionately high numbers of women tend to have the most intense hookup cultures, whereas campuses with enrollments that skew male tend to be those where monogamy still reigns. Birger has provided an important addition, grounded in empirical evidence and close research, to the mass of books and articles on dating.

Yet there is a period in the middle of these two wars that is often overlooked, and this is precisely where Alan Taylor situates his new Pulitzer Prize-winning book, The Internal Enemy. Discussions of slavery’s contradictions with the freedoms declared during the American Revolution and the founding fathers’ musings on the subject interest historians of the colonial and revolutionary periods, while the later, more divisive nature of slavery preoccupies Civil War and nineteenth-century historians. Since the founding of the first British colonies, slavery has been at the core of US history. ![]() Reviewed by Katie Thompson (West Virginia University) The Internal Enemy: Slavery and War in Virginia, 1772-1832. ![]() ![]() ![]() Starhammer was followed by The Vang: The Military Form and The Vang: The Battlemaster to form a loosely connected trilogy (all published by Ballantine Books) spanning several thousand years and involving different sets of characters in each book.

Or maybe you’re like me, and this uninterrupted evening belongs not to an old favorite, but rather a new comfort. Or you bought an eBay lot of Travis McGee books and you’re at the good part of Darker than Amber. And how do you use this opportunity, this oh-so-rare freedom from responsibility?
