Her direct manner and questioning nature make Julian an engagingly modern voice that envisions a loving God who promises an eventual end to suffering: ‘All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.’ ![]() ![]() Her visions contain the Passion of Christ, the Virgin Mary and the love of God, who reveals to her the entirety of creation in a ball ‘as small as if it had been a hazelnut’. Written in a simple, expressive style, Julian’s account is both vivid and affecting. Having possibly taken her name from the church where she was con ned as an anchoress - voluntarily sealed away in a cell attached to the church at Norwich - she spent decades in contemplation of God’s love. In 1373, at the age of 30, she was struck down by a terrible illness and at the point of death was seized with 16 visions, or ‘shewings’, which would become both the Short Text, written soon after her experiences, and the Long Text, where Julian offers a deeper and more reflective examination. Julian of Norwich continues to inspire devotion today, yet still little is known about her life.

"Parents want to ban books to protect their kids but teachers and librarians say that students are old enough to be aware of the topics discussed in these books.

I look forward to finding and reading the rest of these books! As far as I can tell, the one constant thing is the off-campus dorm building Nightingale Hall, nicknamed "Nightmare Hall" - a strange building rumoured to be haunted. Though these are all part of a series they don't seem to follow on from each other. ![]() The creepy wooden wizard works incredibly well as a ominous threat that may or may not be real. ![]() 'The Wish' has a supernatural element, apparently not typical for the series. The window on the cover is a cutout, so when you open the book you see the full picture, revealing the threat - they are so well done! It's a fun series, quite spooky though still appropriate for younger readers, with covers that I love. I've read Point Horror/Thriller books for years - they, along with Goosebumps, were my earliest exposure to horror stories - but somehow I missed this series, 'Nightmare Hall'. I love Diane Hoh's books so I was excited to find this in a second hand shop recently, and even more excited when the lady let me have it for free (I think because it's quite a battered copy). ![]() ![]() Within a decade, Bix’s new technology, “Own Your Unconscious”-which allows you access to every memory you’ve ever had, and to share your memories in exchange for access to the memories of others-has seduced multitudes. ![]() The Candy House opens with the staggeringly brilliant Bix Bouton, whose company, Mandala, is so successful that he is “one of those tech demi-gods with whom we’re all on a first name basis.” Bix is forty, with four kids, restless, and desperate for a new idea, when he stumbles into a conversation group, mostly Columbia professors, one of whom is experimenting with downloading or “externalizing” memory.

However, it's not as difficult as one might think. I've talked to many others who are doing this and none of them got it from a WotLK instance. ![]() It's not a guaranteed drop like the red winter hat and must be heroic only. After 4.0.6, the drop rate in the WotLK instances is pretty low. Comment by KraterI thought it would be a pain to get the roses on my characters this year since I started working on this achievement after 4.0.6 which removed the ability to easily get the bouquet from WotLK normals. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The words are there anyway, just as the humanness inside me is there anyway, and for one clear, shimmering moment, I understand.
