![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Title: DEADLY LITTLE SCANDALS (Debutantes #2) There seemed to be dual timelines, but since I didn’t have the background knowledge from book 1, I found myself frequently confused about what was going on. My copy of the book was an electronic ARC, and there were lots of issues with the chapter formatting. I like smart characters in books, and this was even better because they were young smart characters with lots of potential to be practically diabolical! The teens in Deadly Little Scandals are a wee bit scary in their ability to unearth damaging secrets and potential landmines. If you’re thinking about dipping your toes into these waters, I suggest starting with Little White Lies. It also would have helped make sense of the tangled familial background the characters were knotted into. Though book #2 provides some background in order to catch the reader up to the current moment, it sounds like it would have been a killer of a book. Deadly Little Scandals broke that barrier! I only wish I’d had a chance to read book #1 in the series first. ![]() It’s been a while since I read a YA novel that I could envision as a TV series right in my own brain.

We receive it in the face when we read the photo, no need for analysis. The punctum is a detail, a supplement that can fill the whole photo with meaning, that has a force of expansion). It is chance in a photograph that points at us, bruises us, grips us. ![]() The punctum, the most important in a photograph (when it exists), breaks the studium from the scene like an arrow, a sting, a wound, a punctuation. In this type of photography we find the photos of reports (which shock, which shout but do not hurt), and the pornographic photos (which present only one thing: sex). These photographs are then banal, naive, without intentions. If the studium is not crossed by something else (we will see the punctum), it generates a very widespread type of photography: the unary photography (only one sequence is generated by the base). The interest in a photo that has only the studium comes from a moral and political culture, it is an average affect, a general investment only. The studium: it corresponds to an expanse, similar to a field and refers to a classical information. These two contradictory elements are, The studium and The punctum. With the photo of the soldiers and nuns in Nicaragua, Barthes realizes that it is the duality between two elements that makes him appreciate this or that photo: it is the photo as an adventure. ![]() Operator, Spectator, Spectrum – Camera Lucida – Roland BarthesĬamera Lucida main keywords: Studium, punctum ![]() ![]() ![]() OL17645587W Page-progression lr Page_number_confidence 81.43 Pages 142 Ppi 300 Related-external-id urn:isbn:0545002079 Urn:lcp:ivybeanghos00anni:epub:b0468ccc-79db-4cf6-a0be-38377d5032f7 Extramarc University of Alberta Libraries Foldoutcount 0 Identifier ivybeanghos00anni Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t4xh3nw60 Invoice 1213 Isbn 0811849104ġ452142203 Lccn 2005031790 Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.20 Ocr_module_version 0.0.17 Openlibrary OL8002865M Openlibrary_edition Sanrafaelpubliclibrary External-identifier Annie Barrows is also the author of The Magic Half and its forthcoming sequel, Magic in the Mix.Her adult books include the bestselling The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society.

She’s a role in the movie of my life.” Clare begins wearing Adam’s old clothes, realizing she feels much more comfortable expressing herself like that.Īudrey’s POV is jarring initially because she doesn’t use quotation marks. Clare says of her experiences “… that girl downstairs, the one who yelled about wanting to be like every other teenage girl… she doesn’t really exist. Her femininity, and by extension her popularity become a cage for Clare. ![]() But in Under Shifting Stars, Latos successfully makes Audrey and Clare distinct and recognizable, allowing her to fully explore the experiences of each twin as they tell the story from their perspectives.Īt the start of Under Shifting Stars, Clare constructs her identity largely on her popularity, which is based on the way she presents as traditionally feminine. Alternating POV can be difficult to pull off successfully if the characters don’t have distinct voices. ![]() ![]() The difference in disease pressure between the two locations could not be attributed to differences in nematode pressure. ![]() Five years after planting, 30 and 70% of all control trees (planted according to grower standard) had declined from ARR disease in Landrum and Monetta, respectively, whereas only 0 and 10%, respectively, of trees in the aboveground root collar excavation (AGRCE) treatment had declined. Trees were planted approximately 40 cm higher than normal in open-bottom Smart Pots and root collars were excavated above ground level 8 months later. Experimental peach trees were planted in two commercial orchards (designated Landrum and Monetta) in South Carolina each tree replaced one that had declined from ARR disease the year before. In this study, a new cultural method was investigated that resulted in trees with aboveground excavated root collars, potentially eliminating many of the drawbacks. ![]() One major drawback is the difficulty of excavating the belowground root collar, the potential of excavated roots to be covered again with surrounding soil, and the associated labor cost. Root collar excavation (RCE) has been applied to established citrus trees and grapevines for Armillaria root rot (ARR) control but, despite its demonstrated effectiveness, this cultural management system is not routinely used for ARR protection in disease-infested replant sites. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() According to One-Eye, the secretive Outlander who is Maddy's only real friend, her ruinmark - or runemark, as he calls it - is a sign of Chaos blood, magical powers and gods know what else.

In a remote valley in the north, fourteen-year-old Maddy Smith is shunned for the ruinmark on her hand - a sign associated with the Bad Old Days. ![]() Magic is outlawed, and a new religion - the Order - has taken its place.
