great day companions! I come to you with an extraordinary find! this help https://urbansignandprint.com/collections/yard-signs best among print organizations and outside promoting! minded my own insight and requested flags for my business! I suggest

Książka ta jest zbiorem dzienników poetki Sylvii Plath, będącym zapisem ostatnich dwunastu lat jej życia. Są to te istniejące dzienniki, gdyż - jak wiadomo - część z nich prawdopodobnie została zniszczona przez męża Sylvii - Teda Hughesa.

Zbiór obejmuje następujące dzienniki:

- lipiec 1950 - lipiec 1953

- 22 listopada 1955 - 18 kwietnia 1956

- 15 lipca 1956

- 22 lipca 1956 - 26 sierpnia 1956

- 3 stycznia 1957 - 11 marca 1957

- 15 lipca 1957 - 14 października 1957

- 28 sierpnia 1957 - 14 października 1958

- 12 grudnia 1958 - 15 listopada 1959

Każdy z powyższych jest kolejną częścią (dłuższą, bądź krótszą sekcją, podzieloną na kolejne dni). Książkę wieńczy piętnaście dodatków obejmujących różne lata od 1950 do 1962 roku. W wydaniu tym zawarto skany dzienników pisanych oryginalnie ręką Plath, fotografie poetki i jej rodziny, a także rysunki, które pojawiły się w oryginalnych dziennikach.

Sylvia Plath w swoich dziennikach z dużą dbałością o szczegóły, starannie i wnikliwie opisała otaczającą ją rzeczywistość. To nie tylko zapis jej codzienności, to także filozoficzne dywagacje i obserwacje dotyczące społeczeństwa, jej znajomych z kręgu poetyckiego, towarzyszących jej licznych emocji. To zapis tego jak postrzegała życie, śmierć, samotność, swoje małżeństwo. Wreszcie - zapis jej frustracji, które stopniowo, z każdym kolejnym rokiem pogłębiały jej depresję, co w końcu doprowadziło do tragedii

Jej zapiski można czytać na kilka sposobów. Albo jednym ciągiem "od deski do deski", albo chronologicznie "skacząc" to między treścią właściwą dzienników, to do dodatków, które zaczynają się od strony 607 (taki sposób ja wybrałam), albo wyrywkowo, nie trzymając się zupełnie chronologii, co jest najbardziej zasadne po zapoznaniu się z dziennikami przynajmniej jeden raz

Nie jest łatwo ocenić czyjeś dzienniki, czy pamiętniki. Cudze zapiski - tworzone właściwie nie dla nas, czytelników, lecz prywatnie - czy to wo formie wspomnień, czy listów ciężko się ocenia i najlepiej byłoby nie wystawiać jej żadnych ocen. Ja staram się jednak zawsze ocenić książkę w ramach "od do". Według mnie "Dzienniki 105-1962" zasługują na miano dobrych, czyta się je dobrze pod kątem stylu użytego przez Autorkę - pomijam fakt, iż paradoksalnie nie są łatwą lekturą przez wzgląd na poruszane niekiedy tematy. Aczkolwiek biorąc pod uwagę ich wartość merytoryczną, patrząc na to jak wiele możemy z nich wyłuskać informacji nie tylko o samej Sylvii Plath ale też p czasach, w których żyła; a także informacji o osobowości Autorki, jej charakterze, postrzeganiu świata, egzystencji z uwagi na to jak dużą kopalnią cytatów i wartościowych przemyśleń są jej zapiski podwyższam ocenę do miana bardzo dobrej.

Opinia opublikowana na moim blogu:

https://literackiepodrozebooki.blogspot.com/2022/01/dzienniki-1950-1962.html

This is book 1 in a brand new series, TIN. This story can be read on its own - but I would recommend reading the THIRDS series beforehand. If you haven't then it is not only an excellent reference to these characters, it is the story before the story.

Dexter returns to us in this TIN series opener as AKA "Chaos."  Likewise, his hunky husband returns as his partner Sloane AKA "Atlas."  Learning to enjoy and hate his job at the same time - he goes on one of the worst missions of his career.  Learning to be a spy has been fun and a challenge, but sometimes it is not fun and games.

Sloane knows this latest task is within their wheelhouse to solve.  It is going to take more than the normal assignment however, as they are up against a madman who is not afraid to kill to cover up his crimes.  While he has faith in their teams abilities to get this done - there are a lot of unknowns that can still go wrong. 

I really enjoyed getting back into the Dex & Sloane life.  Reading about them and the adventures of their team is always a joy.  This new team seems to be coming right along.  I could not put this down it was so great!  I am already excited about the next story.  I give this a 5/5 Kitty's Paws UP!

Synopsis

Lucien Cummings

The pestilents are trying to kill him.

He’s pretty sure the Water Weaver wants to kill him as well.

But after two months of fighting an attraction for a man who couldn’t possibly be his mate, Lucien cracks when he’s pulled into an impulsive threesome with Calder and a sexy man they picked up in a bar.

That night was earth shattering.

And now he needs to figure out how to keep both men safe and his.

Calder Saito

Calder doesn’t want to fight his attraction for the Fire Weaver any longer, but they can’t really be soul mates, right?

And what about Gio? The sexy man gives him such a feeling of completeness and peace.

Could one man really have two soul mates?

Gio Russo

Can’t he just have them both?

Tangled Warriors is the fourth book in the Weavers Circle series. This MMM paranormal romance includes fast-paced action, running through Savannah, secrets, shapeshifting, kidnapping, deadly Girl Scouts, sexy times, insecurity, three crazy old ladies, soul mates, and magic!

Excerpt

“Shots!” Gio suddenly proclaimed. “I think we could all use a round of shots. What do you say?” He looked up at Lucien and smiled. “Join me in a round of shots. Break the ice.”

“Nothing feels icy to me,” Lucien murmured, while the fingers on Calder’s waist tightened.

He suddenly felt bad. He was intruding like an annoying little brother. Yes, his intention had been to stop Lucien from hitting on this guy, but now that he was standing there, he felt how wrong it was. What Lucien did and who he slept with was none of his business. He was supposed to be working on getting rid of the bad blood between him and Lucien, not making matters worse.

“None for me,” Calder said softly. “I’ll grab the drinks and get out of your way.”

Gio surprised him by cupping the side of his face with a warm calloused hand. “Oh no, sweetness. We don’t want you going anywhere. You’ve got to stay.” Gio looked over Calder’s shoulder at Lucien. “We want him to stay, right?”

Calder tensed, waiting for the rejection, but Lucien shocked him even more by pulling him in tighter so that he could feel Lucien’s groin against the small of his back. Those long fingers slipped down from his waist to caress his hip bone, sending the most delicious tingles all over his body.

“Stay. Have a shot with us,” Lucian pressed. His voice was warm and so very tempting. Calder couldn’t remember ever hearing Lucien talk to him like that. He wanted to live in that voice. Just curl up in it like a warm, handmade quilt.

Releasing him, Gio turned to the bartender as she delivered Lucien’s and Calder’s mix of drinks and ordered a round of shots. Calder didn’t hear what he’d ordered exactly because Gio had also slotted himself better against Calder, causing his brain to short out. He was now in the one place he’d never thought he’d be—a Gio-Lucien sammich. Even with all their clothes on, it was now his favorite kind of sandwich. He would happily eat it every day for the rest of his life.

Calder was too tongue-tied to manage words. He nodded. At least he thought he nodded. He must have done something, because Gio’s smile grew wider. A second hand landed on his hip right where Lucien’s was.

The shots arrived, and Gio slid one over to Lucien before physically placing one in Calder’s hand as if he knew that his brain wasn’t in control of his body any longer. He watched as Gio clicked his shot glass on Lucien’s and then Calder’s. Tipping his head back, he sent the amber liquid down his long, sexy throat. Calder did the same without a thought. The burn was enough to wake him out of his stupor.

Sucking in a harsh breath, he coughed several times while slamming his shot glass on the bar. Gio grabbed his hand again and shoved a drink into it. Without thinking, Calder sipped it, relieved that it was his gin and tonic. The addition of more alcohol to his system probably wasn’t the smartest, but at least it had gotten rid of his coughing.

When he could breathe, he took a deep drink and set the glass on the bar to find Gio smiling at him while Lucien’s hand continued to dig possessively into his hip.

You okay?” Lucien inquired. For once, the question didn’t sound spiteful or mean. There was genuine concern in his tone.

Calder managed a small nod and Gio laughed.

Of course he’s okay. What are you drinking, sweetness?” Before Calder could answer, Gio leaned in and licked his bottom lip, sucking it into his mouth for a second, then releasing it with a wet pop. “Mmm…gin and tonic. Not bad.”

Calder barely heard the words. It was just a rush of blood past his ears as it raced to his steadily hardening dick.

As Gio moved away, he reached past Calder and pulled Lucien close. “And what are you drinking?” Calder watched as Gio licked his way into Lucien’s slack, welcoming mouth. He didn’t know what turned him on more—actually kissing Gio or watching Gio kiss Lucien. It defied all logic, but it was clear that his libido had zero interest in logic. He only wanted to know all the wonderful things Gio could do with his mouth.

Gio released Lucien and licked his own lips slowly. His dark eyes had turned black as his pupils dilated with desire. “I can tell this is going to be a fun night already. I suggest we head to my place so we can get more comfortable and less likely to be arrested.”

We? Calder croaked out.

Tangled Warriors by Jocelynn Drake
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is book #4 in The Weavers Circle series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader understanding, and to avoid any spoilers, I recommend reading this incredible series in order.

Calder & Lucien are not getting along. It is interrupting their fellow weavers and may put them all in danger. What can be done to fix this animosity? It has been suggested there is ore to this fighting. Will they listen and learn?

Gio is a nice surprise in a very hot package. When he meets Calder & Lucien the scales tip in their favor and they find that the suggestion to get together was all they needed. Now they want Gio in a more permanent way. If only changing his mind were that easy.

This story has a fast pace and the story moves along quickly. Great addition to the series. The new characters add spice and just a bit more. I loved reading about the men coming together and making this work. Now I cannot wait for the next book!
