I’ll be honest, the cover didn’t hurt anything either!Īudra was born with a hole in her heart. I chose to read The Heartbeat Hypothesis because the excerpt sounded amazing. The Heartbeat Hypothesis by Lindsay Frydman, a standalone college romance. Website | twitter | facebook | pinterest | instagram | goodreads | newsletter | amazon author THE HEARTBEAT HYPOTHESIS is her debut novel. (Plus, it’s the closest to Broadway she’ll ever get.) Lindsey was a proud 2016 Pitch Wars Mentee and thoroughly adores being a part of the wonderful writing community. When she’s not crafting YA and NA stories, you’ll likely find her spending waaay too much time on Pinterest, playing a video game, singing show-tunes, or performing in a burlesque show-because she enjoys giving her introversion a worthy adversary. Her BFA in Photography and Graphic Design has granted her a wide assortment of creative knowledge that serves as inspiration (and not much else). She lives in Columbus, Ohio (where the weather is never quite right). Her books always include a romance, though sometimes there’s an added sci-fi or magical realism twist. Lindsey has been writing since she was nine years old, when she discovered the awesomeness that is Harriet the Spy.

Sir salman rushdie the satanic verses5/27/2023 Rushdie only began to emerge from his life on the run in the late 1990s, after Iran in 1998 said it would not support his assassination. He spent nearly a decade in hiding, moving houses repeatedly and being unable to tell his children where he lived. He was granted police protection by the government in Britain. His third novel Shame in 1983 was followed by The Satanic Verses five years later, which changed his life and made him a public figure. Midnight's Children, which won the Booker Prize, focuses on the events surrounding India's transition from British rule to independence and partition. His first novel, Grimus, was published in 1975 and was followed by Midnight's Children in 1981. APīefore writing books, he worked in advertising, dreaming up the ‘That’ll do nicely’ slogan for American Express’ and the ‘Naughty but nice’ campaign for cream cakes. A man stormed the stage at the Chautauqua Institution in the US state of New York and began assaulting Salman Rushdie as he was being introduced. He sent his first message from Washington, D.C, to Baltimore, Maryland. Finally, in 1844, Morse had a new improved machine to work with, a better code, and telegraph lines in place. With the help of a science professor, Samuel was able to extend this range and when he demonstrated the new device to machine experts, he captured their attention and they became interested in investing in his new invention. After three years of work Samuel created his first machine which could send messages, but it only worked for distances of forty feet or less. He then devised a code which was made up of dots and dashes which could be sent over a wire and received at the other end. He figured out that he could use a battery to make a device which would produce marks on paper. After talking to Charles Jackson, a chemist who studied electromagnets, Samuel began to experiment with electricity and electromagnets. His mother and wife had died in the late 1820s and a grieving Samuel needed to put his energies into something. He did not work on this project much until 1832. He saw that electricity was a powerful force and he wondered if it could be used to send messages. Thankfully Samuel Morse, a young painter who was fascinated by science, developed an interest in electricity. In the early 1800s it took weeks to receive mail and often important messages arrived at their destination too late. Today we have all become very used to be being able to communicate over long distances instantly. The Bottoms by Joe R. Lansdale5/27/2023 Racial tensions - never far from the surface, even in the best of times - gradually kindle. As more bodies - not all of them “colored” - surface, the mood of the local residents darkens. From his privileged position as the son of constable (and farmer and part-time barber) Jacob Collins, Harry watches as the distinctly amateur investigation unfolds. She is also, as Harry will soon discover, the first in a series of similar corpses, all of them the victims of a new, unprecedented sort of monster: a traveling serial killer. The woman, who is eventually identified as a local prostitute, has been murdered, molested, and sexually mutilated. Harry’s world changes forever when he discovers the corpse of a young black woman tied to a tree in the forest near his home. In 1933, the year that forms the centerpiece of the narrative, Harry is 11 years old and living with his mother, father, and younger sister on a farm outside of Marvel Creek, Texas, near the Sabine River bottoms. The narrator of The Bottoms is Harry Collins, an old man obsessively reflecting on certain key experiences of his childhood. You can read this before The Bottoms PDF EPUB full Download at the bottom.
