As such, we are now going to take a look at our The Wedding Date Book series review. This book and the reception it received, indeed, is what spawned the following few in the book series. Guillory took part in National Novel Writing Month, wherein she finished one half of the book draft for her novel The Wedding Date. It wasn’t until 2015 that Jasmine decided that her true vocation was writing. Following graduation, Guillory worked in the Federal District Court in San Francisco, then later went on to work in a law firm. Following this, Jasmine went back to school, namely the Stanford Law School, graduating in 2002. Upon graduating, Jasmine worked professionally for a period of two years. Her major was in history, as she graduated in 1997, from Wellesley College, in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Jasmine went to the Bishop O’Dowd Highschool, situated in Oakland, California, United States of America, in the year of 1993.

I’m aware that mental illnesses are not something that can be fixed quickly. I would like to mention that Luke does not end up being the reason she leaves the house at the end, but even the reason for her leaving felt tainted and there is no real resolution. But I wanted Norah to have a self-discovery on her own. Because yes, Luke was overly perfect and made Norah realize somethings. However, I did not like that the book leaned towards the whole “love cures everything” angle. Luke is a sweetheart, and he and Norah were adorable together. Well that is until, Luke moves next door and the two of them become close. She spends most of her time online, or with her mother. It is very hard for her to leave her home, so she rarely does. Although, it was a cute and innocent romance, I felt a little underwhelmed and frustrated by the way it was handled. Under Rose Tainted Skies is a love story and unfortunately, the book is completely dominated by the love story. Which is funny to say since she’s the only non-vampire non-winged character. I think Penny is a bit unbelievable, though. Penny’s very take-charge and pushy, Simon flies by the seat of his pants, and Baz won’t speak up unless he has to. The variety of personality types amongst Penny, Baz, and Simon was fun. Even better, they’re in the Midwest to start so it’s like your favorite fantasy characters visiting your hometown (ish). Now we’ve got characters we like in a fun adventure. The ‘final battle’ is done and all the things we don’t know about Simon’s history don’t matter as much anymore. I’m a little wary of this series just because we dove into the final installment but this book took a great turn with it that I’m 100% on board for. They get so lost, they start to wonder whether they ever knew where they were headed in the first place… (Dragons, vampires, skunk-headed things with shotguns.) And they get lost. That’s how Simon and Penny and Baz end up in a vintage convertible, tearing across the American West. He just needs to see himself in a new light… What he needs, according to his best friend, is a change of scenery. So why can’t Simon Snow get off the couch? Now comes the good part, right? Now comes the happily ever after… Simon Snow did everything he was supposed to do. Other books by Rowell reviewed on this blog: Wayward Son (Simon Snow #2) by Rainbow Rowell And socializing influences, ironically well illustrated by the gender-stereotyped clothes and toys on magazine covers that make claims about biological programming come from many directions. Children, according to one strand of this perspective, are socialized into existing gender arrangements. “While many still see gender as the expression of natural difference, the women’s movement of the 1970s and 1980s launched a powerful alternative perspective: notions of femininity and masculinity, the gender divisions one sees on school playgrounds, structures of male dominance, the idea of gender itself – all are social constructions. Some key quotes collected throughout the book that support my project: Thorne is a professor for the Study of Women and Men in Society at the University of Southern California. Personally I read the book from start to finish and found it fascinating due to the real-life observations and experiences that Thorne puts across. Full of ethnographic study, this book explores all areas of gender in schools from early gender separation to lessons for adults when addressing gender in children. Gender Play by Barrie Thorne explores gender in children in a way that hadn’t been covered much at the time (1993).

The editors chose the four-hundred-year period covered in the book to coincide with the 400th anniversary of the White Lion, a contemporary ship of the Mayflower.
