Tara June Winch (1983- ) was born in and grew up around Wollongong, a steel manufacturing and port city 50 kms south of Sydney. I originally wrote this post as a review, but as it’s mostly just me bitching about stuff, I’ll keep it between us and won’t put it up on the Australian Women Writers Challenge site. This trip just past (actually the trip before last by the time this goes up) I listened to The Yield, Max Barry’s wild Jennifer Government (thank you Emma), and Nelson Mandela’s Conversations with Myself. Over the course of a weekend I listen to about 20 hours of audiobooks, say three books a week. So now, over 3 weeks, I’m running a little further and getting a bit less time off – though it doesn’t feel like it – and earning about the same money (but as I’m not always running as a road train, I am using a fair bit less fuel). Running over east I would do one round trip Perth-Melbourne, 8,000 km, every 3 weeks. Since moving back to running up north I have settled into an easy routine – load Thurs/Fri, unload Sun/Mon, back in Perth Tues/Wed, for a round trip of about 3,000 km. In Red Metal, a desperate Kremlin takes advantage of a military crisis in Asia to simultaneously strike into Western Europe and invade east Africa in a bid to occupy three Rare Earth mineral mines that will give Russia unprecedented control for generations over the world’s hi-tech sector.

With My Sister Life, 1922, and Themes and Variations, 1923, the latter marked by an extreme, though sober style, Pasternak first gained a place as a leading poet among his Russian contemporaries. Pasternak's first books of verse went unnoticed. After four months there and a trip to Italy, he returned to Russia and decided to dedicate himself to literature. By 1912 he had renounced music as his calling in life and went to the University of Marburg, Germany, to study philosophy. Under the influence of the composer Scriabin, Pasternak took up the study of musical composition for six years from 1904 to 1910. Pasternak's education began in a German Gymnasium in Moscow and was continued at the University of Moscow. Though his parents were both Jewish, they became Christianized, first as Russian Orthodox and later as Tolstoyan Christians. Boris Leonidovich Pasternak was born in Moscow to talented artists: his father a painter and illustrator of Tolstoy's works, his mother a well-known concert pianist. This review will contain spoilers! I’m sorry but there was no way to avoid it, there are so many things wrong with this book that I just have to talk about. And she shows once again why she’s one of the world’s bestselling authors. In this tautly plotted novel, Stephenie Meyer creates a fierce and fascinating new heroine with a very specialised skill set. As she sees her choices being rapidly whittled down, she must apply her unique talents in ways she never dreamed of. Resolving to meet the threat head-on, she prepares for the toughest fight of her life but finds herself falling for a man who can only complicate her likelihood of survival. To her horror, the information she acquires makes her situation even more dangerous. But it means taking one last job for her ex-employers. When her former handler offers her a way out, she realises it’s her only chance to erase the giant target on her back. They’ve killed the only other person she trusted, but something she knows still poses a threat. Now she rarely stays in the same place or uses the same name for long. And when they decided she was a liability, they came for her without warning. An expert in her field, she was one of the darkest secrets of an agency so clandestine it doesn’t even have a name. government, but very few people ever knew that. Although most of his misbehavior is described in chapter one and grows more flagrant as the book progresses, Tanya dithers through the entire novel deliberating whether she should file for divorce. He's having an affair with the deacon's wife, lies outrageously, neglects his daughter and eventually grows physically abusive. When she married him eight years ago, Tanya Black thought that Curtis would be a dedicated evangelist preacher, but the power of his current position as pastor of a prominent African-American Baptist church in Chicago has turned his head, and their ""model marriage had long since turned into something very ugly and dreadfully different."" Curtis flaunts his expensive wardrobe and lifestyle, and he continually begs his congregation for more money. There are few surprises in the insubstantial plot of Roby's third novel (after Here and Now), a story of a marriage that, obviously doomed from the book's opening pages, drags on through repetitive and melodramatic scenes.
