"Only a Woman's Hair" was suggested by a circumstance mentioned in The Life of Dean Swift, viz., that, after his death, a small packet was found among his papers, containing a single lock of hair and inscribed with those words.

It's the little things in life, right? □□ For the most part, I found this story terrific. Not to mention its additional grumpy x sunshine trope that I also find delightful and have been reading a lot of lately. It was humorous, sweet, emotional, and delightfully romantic in that specific haters-to-lovers trope kind of way. The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy may have a pretty simple yet straightforward plot, but its execution was very well done. Another blessing is that I deeply enjoyed all three of these ARCs even if they weren't all 5 ⭐ reads. ![]() I don't know how I managed to pick three different ARCs, all of them great, and all of them including adorable pet dogs that made the stories 100x better. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: Various depictions of death⚠️ ❗ This is a spoiler-free ARC review from NetGalley❗ ![]() I feel very strongly that you deserve a friend more worthy of you than I am in reality. ![]() ![]() The Norton anthology of American literature. In this context, it becomes more significant to be aware of evil and contribute to the opposition in possible ways, avoiding overextension. For me, this claim seems anarchistic and, to some extent, extremist it serves as proof of the boundary effect of personal moral standards that every individual possesses. According to Thoreau, the ways of causing legal changes from inside the government, for example, voting or petitioning, are greatly unproductive (Levine et al., 2017). With the consideration of taking the idea of disobedience to its maximum, an individual might soon find himself breaking the laws that might endanger other people’s well-being and invoke punishment, for example, incarceration. I believe it might be the perfect boundary for the level of interference people should make when they face it shorthand. ![]() The idea of making a personal decision to either oppose or not to participate is fundamental in this context. ![]() Yet Thoreau was among the first names I came across when I began to research Muslim-Americans’ responses to the crackdown on their civil liberties following 9/11. I agree with Thoreau’s vision of justice, especially with the part concerning participation in injustice. Often associated with nonviolent civil disobedience, Thoreau isn’t usually the first name that springs to mind when one thinks of violent resistance. ![]() ![]() ![]() And yet here's your heart, doing its job all the time, one beat after the next, all the way up to three billion. Three billion years, and life itself barely exists. Count back three billion hours, and modern humans don't exist-just wild-eyed cave people, all hairy and grunting. I was thinking about that, trying to imagine a number that large. Turton says that if you lived to be eighty years old, your heart would beat three billion times. Jellyfish don't even have hearts, of course-no heart, no brain, no bone, no blood. Like a ghost heart-a heart you can see right through, right into some other world where everything you ever lost has gone to hide. It's their pulse, the way they contract swiftly, then release. It doesn't matter what kind: the blood-red Atolla with its flashing siren lights, the frilly flower hat variety, or the near-transparent moon jelly, Aurelia aurita. A JELLYFISH, IF YOU WATCH IT LONG ENOUGH, begins to look like a heart beating. ![]() ![]() The book is nothing less than what my own grandmother used to call a 'godsend.

For the author, the important question is “how their distinctive culture came into being in Italy”-the diffusion of objects, standards of taste, religious cults, etc. Abulafia weighs in on the dispute over the origins of the Etruscans who preceded the Romans and built the first cities in Italy. In this massive companion piece to The Mediterranean in History (2003), the author looks at the role played by trade, as opposed to physical migration of populations, in diffusing cultures and religion, as well as that of naval warfare and conquest.
