In particular, she examines two major concepts, fertility and liminality, and two social categories, the plebs and women, which were inextricably linked with Ceres in the Roman mind. In this thematic study of the Roman goddess Ceres, Barbette Spaeth explores the rich complexity of meanings and functions that grew up around the goddess from the prehistoric period to the Late Roman Empire. ![]() New cults are developing around ancient goddesses from many cultures, although their modern adherents often envision and interpret the goddesses very differently than their original worshippers did. Interest in goddess worship is growing in contemporary society, as women seek models for feminine spirituality and wholeness. ![]() ![]() Enjoy, and come hang out in the comments if you’re moved to talk further about The City We Became. You can watch the full video of my discussion with Jemisin above highlights from our conversation are below. But for now, we wanted to share our live event with all of you, including those of you who couldn’t make it. Next week, we’ll be moving along to our May pick, Donna Tartt’s classic campus murder story The Secret History. The conversation was the culmination of the past month of discussion we’ve been having here at the Vox Book Club. ![]() ![]() Also I - and, I have to assume, every last one of the more than 100 people watching - admired Jemisin’s impeccable collection of plushes. For 45 minutes, we discussed what makes cities powerful, New York’s dark history, and the uneasy legacy of H.P. Jemisin about her new book, The City We Became. ![]() On Wednesday night, the Vox Book Club went live on Zoom for the very first time to talk with N.K. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The reunion forces the pair and those around them to examine the consequences of following the status quo versus following their hearts. ![]() However, fifteen years later during the turbulent 1960s, Benjamin and Coralee are reunited, and despite their upbringing, neither are able to deny what they had in their innocent youth, nor suppress the desire to rekindle it-maybe even into something more. Such is the case for Benjamin Drummond and Coralee Simmons, two best friends separated during childhood because Benjamin is white, Coralee is black, and relationships between the two races are unspoken in its taboo. You're given them from birth, and anything that could possibly make you break them is removed from your life-even if it's your best friend. Living in the small, southern town of Plumville is effortless, seamless, and safe, if you follow the rules. ![]() ![]() ![]() In Debord’s reading of history, “ the bourgeoisie is the only revolutionary class that has ever won and it is also the only class for which the development of the economy was both the cause and the consequence of its taking control of society.” The revolutions of the previous centuries were economic in nature, replacing kings with merchant princes. And despite their pretensions, communist societies had the same goals as every modern nation - wealth, prosperity, innovation, and growth. Unsurprisingly, capitalism is the best system for the accumulation of capital. But as a real Marxist, he had already arrived at what would become the historical consensus - communism, as practiced, was merely an inferior cousin to its free market foes. The Soviet Union was very much a superpower, and Nixon had yet to go to China. It might seem strange for Debord to declare capitalism victorious at the height of the Cold War. What Debord describes is really a combination of two things the total triumph of capitalism, and the rise of mass media. The spectacle is never outright defined or rather, the entire book is a series of definitions, each approaching from a different angle. ![]() ![]() ![]() She’s sassy, but not in a fake, trying too hard way. What could go wrong? Everything, and that is what makes the story worth reading. The blurb for this book sounds similar to a lot of other romance books - a girl and a guy, neither looking for a relationship, but what the heck, let’s be friends with benefits. “Well, we’re friends with benefits, right?” In order to prepare for that release, let’s dive into why The Friend Zone is such a treat. Her 2019 release (and debut!), The Friend Zone, was one of my favorite books from last year and she has a new book out this spring. ![]() New-ish author Abby Jimenez is proving that she deserves to have a spot at that table too.

Decorating the doll's house for Christmas brings out the best in all of the stuffed animals, and an early-early spring picnic (with hot water bottle) turns from a restful repast into an exciting ride home. One bear wishes to be wrapped up for Christmas, so he might once again surprise the children who own him another wishes to change his name but finds that the risk of acquiring a new monicker is that no one knows him. ![]() Readers who enjoyed Old Bear and Little Bear's Trousers are granted longer visits with Old Bear, Bramwell Brown, Lucy the rabbit and Duck, and will meet many new friends as well. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But sadly, despite really enjoying it, I also had a lot of issues with it. It was another fast paced read with plenty of humor and non stop action which I loved. Just like Daughter of the Pirate King, this one also started super strong in the middle of action. I don’t know why but I usually have a hard time reviewing second books because they’re either as awesome as the first or a complete disappointment in comparison to it. I just realized that I have never reviewed a second book in a series before so this will be a first. “I may not have been born in the sea, but I was born to rule it. after all, she is the daughter of the Siren Queen.
