I’m so thrilled to have Jo as my guest today. With its clever, resourceful heroine and lyrical language, the novel helped me realize that romance can be literary and smart as well as entertaining. Joanna Bourne’s second debut (because it came out 25 years after her actual debut), The Spymaster’s Lady, changed everything I thought I knew about romance. But I had ideas of what the genre was like-as if it wouldn’t have evolved-until I read about an author who’d released a novel the year before to huge acclaim. I finally picked up a romance novel again in 2009, and was hooked all over again. ![]() Then I moved to London and did an MA, which required hours and hours of reading legal and academic articles. Those first three years, I lived in Prague, where English books were extortionate and none of the handful of bookstores sold romance. After I graduated from college I stopped reading romance for seven years. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They first moved to Zurich, and then to Trieste, where Joyce taught English for most of the next decade. He and Nora decided to leave Ireland forever. After this incident, Joyce briefly moved into the Sandycove Martello tower, but quickly departed after his roommate nearly shot him. Hunter brought him home and took care of him. A few months later, after Joyce got into a drunken fight in a Dublin park, a good-humored Jewish man named Alfred H. On June 16, 1904-the day when Ulysses is set-Joyce met the chambermaid Nora Barnacle who would become his wife. ![]() The character of Stephen Dedalus is based on these years in Joyce’s life. Over the next two years, he struggled to survive in Dublin and watched his family fall apart. Since he no longer believed in God, he refused to pray at her deathbed. When his mother developed cancer, he had to return suddenly to Ireland. This plan failed: Joyce quickly gave up on medicine and started spending all his time reading in the library instead. In 1902, he moved to Paris to study medicine, hoping that a career as a doctor would give him the financial stability he needed to become a writer. Still, Joyce managed to attend two different private Jesuit schools, then go on to study English, French, and Italian at University College Dublin. He was the eldest of 12 siblings, and he saw his family gradually fall into poverty after his father declared bankruptcy and lost his job due to his alcoholism. James Joyce grew up in a middle-class, nationalist, Catholic family in Dublin. ![]() ![]() The dust jacket is protected beneath a clear, removable, archival cover. Nonetheless we grade the jacket as only “good plus” owing to significant spine toning which has rendered the red title print no longer legible and moderate overall soiling. The dust jacket is nearly complete, with only trivial loss at the upper hinges and corners, two tiny abrasion holes at the lower hinges, and a neatly price-clipped upper front flap. The brown-stained top edges retain uniform, unfaded color and the untrimmed fore and bottom edges are notably clean, showing only a hint of age-toning. All illustrations are intact, as are the Kennington endpapers and the folding map following the text. The contents are clean with no spotting and no previous ownership marks. The brown buckram binding is square, clean, bright, and tight with vivid spine gilt and only trivial shelf wear to the bottom edges. Condition approaches near fine in a good plus dust jacket. The text contains 18 black and white line cuts from the famous 1926 Subscriber’s edition of Seven Pillars of Wisdom found in no other edition of Revolt in the Desert, and striking Kennington endpapers are also exclusive to this edition. Although it resembles the English first edition in dust jacket, binding, and format, illustrations render this second American edition unique. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the second American edition – the so-called “Gift Edition” issued for the 1927 Christmas season.

I felt the need to free us from that learned pastime to allow their natural hair to grow. As a mother, I made the decision to stop relaxing both of my daughters’ hair. My hair was relaxed and I wrapped it around my head much like Big Sis did in this story because I wore it straight. Sure, I wrapped my hair up at night as a teenager. Until I had my own children and started to learn how to take care of their hair, I never had such an awareness of proper haircare. Her work in this book was refreshingly beautiful, fun, and endearing. ![]() ![]() This is the first time I have experienced her art. This was one of the books on my #MustReadin2020 list and I added it because 1) I’ve never read a book, picture book or otherwise, that talks about the significance of the hair bonnet 2) because Nneka Myers’s cover art captured my attention with the big curls and sweet bedtime kisses from mommy. ![]() ![]() ![]() To resolve the conflict, Elizebth, Ellsworth's distant cousin, writes to him, asking him to come home.

He takes us into labs where scientists calculate the “bliss point” of sugary beverages, unearths marketing techniques taken straight from tobacco company playbooks, and talks to concerned insiders who make startling confessions. Featuring examples from Kraft, Coca-Cola, Lunchables, Frito-Lay, Nestlé, Oreos, Capri Sun, and many more, Moss’s explosive, empowering narrative is grounded in meticulous, eye-opening research. In Salt Sugar Fat, Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter Michael Moss shows how we ended up here. It comes from processed food, an industry that hauls in $1 trillion in annual sales. Every day, we ingest 8,500 milligrams of salt, double the recommended amount, almost none of which comes from the shakers on our table.
