![]() ![]() ![]() As Dr Paul Volberding, a San Francisco medic who helped to set up America’s first hospital inpatient ward for Aids sufferers, recalled to The Guardian in 2016: “This is the most fatal infectious disease ever seen. Ninety-five and a half per cent of those diagnosed with AIDS between 19 died. HIV had been spreading, undetected, through America’s gay population since around the early 1970s, a result of sexual transmission among a demographic whose promiscuity was not only a convention of queer sociability but a revolutionary political act in the wake of the 1969 Stonewall rebellion. ![]() These were opportunistic infections resultant of Aids, a chronic condition caused by the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) which effectively destroys the immune system. This came some weeks after a report was published by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention describing how five previously healthy gay men had been diagnosed with pneumocystis pneumonia. In July 1981, 26 cases of Kaposi’s sarcoma, an exceedingly rare cancer, were identified exclusively in gay men by doctors in New York and California. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And about a year after the slaughter, a new family moved into the home where the murders took place. When DeFeo went on trial, his lawyer built a case that he was an “insane” man who became a killer because of the demonic voices in his head. ![]() However, the Amityville Murders case was far from over. But it didn’t take long for cracks to form in his story, and by the next day, he had already confessed to killing his family himself. Hours after murdering them, DeFeo went to a nearby bar, crying for help.ĭeFeo initially claimed to the police that the murders had likely been a mob hit, and his act was apparently so convincing that he was taken to a local station for protection. fatally shot his parents and his four younger siblings while they were asleep in their home in Amityville, New York. ![]() The real-life horror story began on November 13, 1974, when a 23-year-old man named Ronald DeFeo Jr. But often lost in the shuffle is the brutal crime that supposedly made the house “haunted” - the Amityville Murders.

However, this really only touches on the bare minimum, so kids already interested in marine biology wouldn't be learning anything new. I give this piece 2 stars even because this could serve as getting kids interested in this subject matter for the first time. There is not much here to work with at all as to making a just book review. This short listen is either a highly abbreviated version of the original work or from a children's picture book rather than a chapter book or standard informative nonfiction book. Not Fact Checked and Poorly Adapted Audio Reading ![]() ![]() ![]() When asked if he is a pinky toe, Clarice responds that he is a big. Toe, the imaginary friend of Juliet's baby sister, Clarice. ![]() ![]() She's incredibly intelligent and witty and altogether delightful! It was wonderful to see her growing and dealing with her fears. Like most shy people, she is terribly misunderstood, and her relationships with others are strained because of that. And her painful shyness sometimes makes her react in unexpected ways. Juliet is a beautifully complex character who is NOT your stereotypical "shy person." She is shy, but that is not ALL she is. And thirdly, I love stories with strong family relationships with both a mother and father present and involved and actually parenting (instead of dead, divorced, or absent). Secondly, I love stories with wise-cracking rats or mice. It's up to Juliet and her new rodent friends from the Magic Shop to unravel the mystery of the amulet, and get Juliet out of the ancient love story she is doomed to relive.įirst of all, I love stories that bring in the old Greek gods into modern settings (because of Percy Jackson). When a mysterious woman gives her an enchanted amulet, every boy in town starts to fall in love with her. ![]() This is the tale of Juliet, who is a shy young teen with a literary and artistic family. There was so much acting and expression put into every sentence that it made the story really come alive! I listened to this on audiobook, and I think that really made a difference to the story, hearing an entire cast of characters reading the dialogue. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Perfect for fans of Netflix's Shadow and Bone series.

Step into the pages, learn from these fictional characters, and escape to faraway places. So, we’ve put together a list of books to inspire, cheer, and brighten your day as you navigate this unusual time in history. ![]() It is found in the phone calls we make to our loved ones, in the mornings when we wake up to sunshine and birds, and it can even be found in something as simple as a book. This new challenge is hard and the grief so many feel is real, but there is HOPE. Some of us aren’t working, some are physically sick or sick at heart. If you’re like me (and my author friends) you are spending more time indoors, less time with people, and on occasion you might feel a little discouraged. Life today looks very different from how it looked only weeks ago. ![]() ![]() The album also features six new songs, co-written with Williams’ longtime writing partner Guy Chambers. ![]() See footage from the recording sessions below. The record sees Williams covering jazz standards such as ‘Minnie The Moocher’, ‘Puttin’ On The Ritz’ and ‘I Wan’na Be Like You’, the latter with Murs. Other artists to feature on the album, which is released on November 18, include Rufus Wainwright, Kelly Clarkson, Olly Murs and Michael Buble. But I’m really happy with it and think we do justice to a classic song.” I was a bit nervous when we recorded it, especially when I asked him what he wanted me to do and he said something like ‘just be you’. Speaking about the cover, Allen commented: “‘Dream A Little Dream’ is one of my favourite songs of all time so I didn’t hesitate when Robbie asked me if I’d like to duet with him on it. ![]() The pair sing the classic ‘Dream A Little Dream’, which has previously been performed by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, The Mamas & The Papas, Doris Day, The Courteeners and Chapel Club. Robbie Williams‘ brand new album ‘Swings Both Ways’ is set to feature a duet with Lily Allen. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, I have never been her biggest most-loyal fan. ![]() There's an instant sense of familiarity when opening up the books (from having read her previous work). Even without her name on the cover I could easily pick her as the author. There was no mistaking Dessen’s signature prose when first diving into What Happened to Goodbye. She takes her time in creating atmosphere and introducing characters with all their nuances. She is the queen of exploring relationships and the subtle things that connect family's and friends. Ad infintum and you reach the resolution: where Dessen has begun with isolated characters she ends with a motley group of friends who have bonded and each come to some form of self-actualisation.ĭessen immerses the reader completely in her characters lives. Instead the book quietly unfolds in layers: each time Dessen revisits a scene/sub-plot, she goes just a little bit further than the previous time ~ giving more depth and insight into her characters lives, relationships and what makes them the way they are. What Happened to Goodbye has no huge inciting incident or great source of tension. ![]() |
