Hapless, hopeless Emma is smacked with an instant crush on the polished woman who’s her new boss…her hot, untouchable, straight boss. ![]() When your new boss is hot as hell, what hope is there for a poor lovestruck office worker? A light-hearted, age-gap lesbian office romance with sexual tension leading the polls.Īfter high-powered politician Bridget O’Keefe sweeps into the uninspiring life of Australian electorate officer Emma Ives, nothing is the same again. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When an assignment to write a biography leads him to a nursing home in search of a subject, he gets more than he bargained for when he interviews Carl Iverson-a convicted murderer who was moved to the nursing home because he’s dying of cancer. He’s also a college student struggling to pay his tuition. Joe Talvert is a college student with an irresponsible mother and a brother with autism (extremely well-drawn, I might add) whose care often falls upon Joe’s shoulders. That is why THE LIFE WE BURY by Allen Eskens hit a chord with me. Add complicated familial relationships, and, well, you’ve got my reading nirvana. When mystery and suspense intersect with great characters and interesting sub-plots, I’m all in. ![]() My favorite books have one thing in common: deep characters who take root and dwell in my consciousness after the book is back on the shelf and gathering dust because I can’t bear to part with it. ![]() ![]() See also my answer here which compares them in more detail. Structually this pair don't have much in common either, but they're both about children who clean chimneys, almost the only mention of such among these Songs. "The Chimney-Sweeper" and "The Chimney-Sweeper". ![]() Admittedly this pair don't have all that much in common besides both having the same title and coming at the start of their respective collections. The easiest poems to pair off are those which have identical titles in both Innocence and Experience: It's almost an exercise in combinatorics! Arguments could be made for many different ways of pairing up, and we're never going to have a perfect bijection. ![]() I'll now discuss various possible pairings among these poems, but bear in mind that there's no definitive answer to this.

Her titled Englishman, unfortunately, is very much an ordinary titled Englishman: stuffy, controlling, and unfaithful. But Annabel is no ordinary American heiress: for most of her life she was dirt poor, "white trash" from Mississippi, and the pain of rejection drives her fiercely. Nothing else ever happened back then, apparently. Set during the Edwardian era, it's - unsurprisingly - a story about an American heiress set to marry an titled Englishman. ![]() It's sharp and fresh and tightly written, with distinctive characters and an engaging situation. ![]() It's not that Trouble at the Wedding is the most gorgeous, deeply characterized historical ever, but it doesn't have to be. (I'm not going to identify the book, since my current weird state of mind might have contributed to how little I was enjoying it.) Thank goodness Trouble At the Wedding came along before I decided to cart my entire historical TBR to the library. ![]() The last one I tried to read has been getting rave reviews up the wazoo I got to page 280, realized there were still 100 more pages left, and groaned out loud. Historical romances were my first love, but lately I've been noticing how much they snore, and wishing they'd take the damn garbage out. ![]() ![]() ![]() The fortress was once the Drenai's greatest stronghold - now it will be their final battleground.

What are the parts, how do they work, and how do they interact to produce the mind? Ultimately, we would like to understand how the cognitive architecture is determined (e.g., which aspects are genetic), how the architecture changes as a result of experience and normal aging, and how it normally functions (in sufficient detail that we can implement it computationally). The goal of research in the Computational & Cognitive Neuroscience Lab is to understand the neural architecture that underlies cognition, that is, the set of (relatively) fixed neural structures and processes that give rise to cognition.
