It reminded me of just how much I struggle with political lobby journalism - even if the subject matter is sensational by their standards: I find it incredibly boring. Endless job titles and departments and fields and minor office personalities that mean little to me (I still have no idea what the Cabinet Office does mind, though looking it up has probably been in my New Year's resolutions lists for thirty years). But my body, this one, the one I have on land, also craves one other thing. One other person. I need Sean. I need to kiss him again. I need to share myself with him one more time before I go. And now here we are. Writing a review of a book I even felt meh on six months ago, when it was fresh in my mind. Which it now definitively is not, even a little bit at all. If you're looking for a summer read - "Out of the Blue" is a great choice, it's got a beautiful ocean setting, a cute romance (fake dating!), messy teens and will hit you with all the nostalgic feels if you loved watching H2O too.
Broxton, Anthony (1 December 2022). "The lessons of Liz Truss's political obituary". Tribune . Retrieved 16 December 2022. Fran and Kellie both are having issues with having children. Fran has known for years she could not have one. It ended her marriage when her husband decided that after all he did not want to adopt he wanted his own. The evolving relationship between Sean and Ross is front and center, and while it is mostly cute and messy and sexy (Jason June once again doesn't shy away from touching more mature content than your typical YA author and I'm glad), here's where the problems start: Crest/Ross is the former mer who hates human and views them as "self-centered, narcissistic blowholes" and spends the first half of the book whining about being on land.

I feel for the writers of this book. I think, if Truss were still Prime Minister, and the events that brought her down never happened, they would have a more successful biography here. However, we have to talk about the most notable time of her life, which is when she was PM. The book covers the events ever so briefly, in the form of a couple of chapters and an unnecessary "epilogue", but doesn't enlighten us as to how or why exactly they happened, and fails to offer anything that I didn't already know from following the news. We can all sympathise with the timing of her start as PM coming just before the late Queen's death. That was the saddest of moments for the country and the worst time to become PM. But putting that aside, as a non-political event, Truss afterwards came across as tone-death, out-of-touch, and unable to communicate her ideas to the public or the markets. Why was that? We are told that there were problems with more realistic voices among civil servants and aides being drowned out in her team and let down by a chaotic structure. We learn that she had at least three different mobile phones during various points of her leadership campaign and time in Number 10 - and sometimes people she was working with didn't have her phone number and couldn't reach her. We also discover that, maybe, her and her other record-breaking colleague, the shortest-serving Chancellor of the Exchequer, Kwazi Kwarteng, had been planning their mortgage-busting, market-torpedoing, pound-shrinking fiscal event at the beginning of her Conservative leadership campaign, and failed to be completely forthcoming about it during that time. This last snippet, however, seemed more of a guess than concrete reporting, unfortunately. They quote some of the people who know her, including her followers and adversaries, but on the whole, the book is just a short summary of her career. First off, let it be known that this book perfectly fulfills my personal aesthetic. gorgeous angels with multi-colored feathers in a rose-gold palette and perfect singing voices?? sapphic girls??? a festival in edinburgh?? old buildings and beautiful art?? and that cover tho?? sign me tf up. That’s some god-tier beauty right there.
This open space near the entrance (non-enclosed) is suitable for small classes or market stalls, and is also available for hire or for free (to certain community events) depending on the size and nature of your event. Also, practices *decrease* the closer you get to a big meet -- like "states" -- not increase. Sean has practice twice a day 2 weeks before his big meet? Nope. That's a shave-and-taper event -- your practices decrease so your energy can increase and you can rest your muscles so you're not exhausted and they don't crap out on you.
From Jason June, author of the breakout teen debut novel Jay's Gay Agenda, comes Out of the Blue, a stand-alone dual POV queer rom-com that asks if love is enough to change everything you've grown up believing. Perfect for fans of Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas and Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly. I want to start by saying that I wasn't a far of this author's YA debut, Jay's Gay Agenda. I wasn't expecting much coming into this novel, which may be why I was pleasantly surprised: it really seems as though the author took some of the criticisms for Jay's Gay Agenda in stride and used them to improve. Gone are the constant out of touch pop culture references (thank GOD) and in is a more structured storyline and better rounded characters. With unrivalled access and insight, award-winning political journalists Harry Cole and James Heale provide the answers, drawing on interviews with Truss’s friends and supporters, as well as her worst critics and rivals, from Kwasi Kwarteng to Michael Gove.

Love the scenery and the bits of history of some of different places they visit or ones they can't visit.
Book a Space
By the time I’d finished sorting through all those teenage thoughts, observations and opinions, the seeds of a story had begun to form in my mind. The seed eventually became a novel and was published in 1979. It was called The Loving Season, published under the name Rebecca Burton. Naturally, it takes place in Switzerland and France.
