![]() ![]() Then I was assigned my weapon, software upgrades, and badge. So the number of Hadens calling me a scab was probably lower than it could have been.Īside from the Agora outrage, my first day was a lot of time in HR, filling out paperwork, getting my benefits and retirement plan explained to me in mind-numbing detail. The second was that technically speaking the FBI is law enforcement, which qualified it as an essential service. The Agora was split into two very noisy warring camps between the walkout supporters and the Hadens who thought it was a pointless maneuver given that Abrams-Kettering had already been signed into law. The first day participation was spotty at best. The first was that not every Haden was down with the walkout to begin with. Two things kept all of the Agora from falling down on my head in outrage. This was not a thing I needed on my first day. ![]() ![]() A feed of me walking into the FBI building got a fair amount of play on the Haden news sites and forums. MY FIRST DAY on the job coincided with the first day of the Haden Walkout, and I'm not going to lie, that was some awkward timing. ![]()

![]() ![]() I’m getting my second chance, and this time I’ll do whatever it takes to prove them all wrong. ![]() They say a Riscoff and a Gable can never live happily ever after… but I’m not done with Whitney Gable. She was out of my reach for years, but now she’s home again-and there’s no ring on her finger. We burned like a flash fire until everything went sideways, and she married another man. I certainly didn’t expect her to be Whitney Gable. Like any man who sees and knows what he wants, I went after her. I used to believe that-until I caught a glimpse of a woman who took my breath away. Not with a family feud that is the stuff of legends. They say a Riscoff and a Gable can never live happily ever after.

![]() ![]() The bullying wasn't resolved in a good manner, and the girls only changed after a mean ghost bothered them extensively. There were a lot of mean girls, girls with low self-esteem, and bullying. The major issue I had with this book is the fact that I didn't like any of the characters. ![]() I found it fascinating to know that Hahn was inspired by her mother's experience of visiting homes with her friends of those that died, and then they actually came to a home of a classmate that had, unknown to them, died. I liked the information on the influenza, and the feelings people had about WWI. ![]() I think a ghost story is a fun read, but this one was less ghost and more evil and mean. This book was probably one of my least favorite Hahn ghost stories. One for Sorrow gets 3 out of 5 stars in my book review. This book has some interesting parts and a lot of frustrating parts as well. It's set in a small town in America during WWI when the Spanish Influenza was spreading. One for Sorrow by Mary Downing Hahn is her latest ghost story published just this year. Hahn is well known for her ghost stories, and this new one is no exception. A lot of the time people will think a good ghost story when they hear the author, Mary Downing Hahn. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though often placed in the travel category, Black Lamb and Grey Falcon transcends its genre and is a deep study of culture, politics, and geography of the region as it was at the time. Sadly, by the time she fashioned her research into the tome and had it published, she was compelled to add the dedication: “To my friends in Yugoslavia, who are now all dead or enslaved.” ![]() West researched the book during a 6-week 1937 trip she made there with her then-husband, traveling over much of the terrain of the old borders, including Croatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Serbia, and more. Publication coincided with the Nazi invasion of Yugoslavia, and West’s intention was to “show the past side by side with the present it created.” Published both in the United Kingdom and the US., the book presents an exhaustive history of the land and people of the Balkans. Black Lamb and Grey Falcon: A Journey Through Yugoslavia by Dame Rebecca West is ostensively a travelogue, published as a two-volume set of more than 1,100 pages and half a million words in 1941. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though he was nowise ready…ĮRIKA SAT IN a corner of the bedchamber, unnoticed, on…ĮRIKA STARED AT the large wooden bath with baleful eyes.

It’s a great compliment to your master when you make them look good. Here are the top 10 Laws of Power according to Robert Greene ![]() Do you really want to be like them?īut you still need to read it and re-read it to understand. This is like a blueprint to read Donald Trump and his fanatical cohorts. ![]() So, yes, I still think you should read this. I do think this is a very low vibration way of thinking and only encourages some people to sink to the lowest common denominator, but I do believe you should be able to understand what others do and why. A classic for both those who look to dominate and achieve power and status and those who couldn’t care less but want to understand what everyone else seems to be doing around them.Īnd yes, the book is hyper cynical and critical of all things done without an intent to control, a bit passé in this day and age, but the book was formed from many classic studies throughout history on how power played out in social situations. Originally published in 1998 and many editions since then, this book has become a classic.
