The sex scenes weren't especially hot and I saw myself skimming huge parts of them. The tiny little pieces of plot that the story is able to offer are lost within the huge amount of sex scenes and I wasn't able to care for the characters at all. Unfortunately, the story is focussing on uncountable times of mating. The idea of a wolf shifter, that can transform at daylight and has some further special abilities isn't bad at all and I really wanted to know more about the why of Casy's condition. Marked is by no means a thoughtful read, where you start to care for the characters and where you want to read more and more about them. I read a few reviews on Goodreads and I was afraid that the repetitive use of the word mate would make me throw the book in a corner within minutes, but I guess the fair warning made me way more indulgent. The horrible cover of the edition I acutally have put me off - but I refused to shelve it and switched to this edition for aesthetic reason (I don't want to see the ugly cover poping up in my bookshelves again and agin) - and I'm always picky when it comes to shifter stories. I have to confess that it took me a long time to pick up Marked. Degrowth, meanwhile, is “a planned reduction of excess energy and resource use to bring the economy back into balance with the living world in a safe, just and equitable way.” Hickel shows what this would look like in practice, imagining 30-hour workweeks, products made to last, longer life expectancies, and more time for leisure and care. Capitalism is fundamentally dependent on growth, and that growth is destroying the planet, Hickel posits. But it turns out this isn’t actually true,” writes economic anthropologist Hickel ( The Divide) in this impassioned treatise. “For decades we’ve been told that we need growth in order to improve lives. It was there that he met famous author C.S. Later in the war Roald Dahl was sent to America. Roald wrote about these experiences in his books Boy and Going Solo. Tragically of the 20 men in his squadron, Roald Dahl was one of only three to survive. But being nearly two metres tall he found himself squashed into his fighter plane, knees around his ears and head jutting forward. With the outbreak of the Second World War Roald Dahl joined the RAF. In Africa he learnt to speak Swahili, drove from diamond mines to gold mines, and survived a bout of malaria where his temperature reached 105.5 degrees (that's very high!). He seems incapable of marshalling his thoughts on paper!' After finishing school Roald Dahl, in search of adventure, travelled to East Africa to work for a company called Shell. When he was at school Roald Dahl received terrible reports for his writing - with one teacher actually writing in his report, 'I have never met a boy who so persistently writes the exact opposite of what he means. This memoir is the product of a profound journey of self-knowledge, a reckoning with all that your will can get you and all that it can leave behind. It turned out Will Smith’s education wasn’t nearly over. Only they didn’t see it that way: they felt more like star performers in his circus, a seven-days-a-week job they hadn’t signed up for. Will Smith thought, with good reason, that he had won at life: not only was his own success unparalleled, his whole family was at the pinnacle of the entertainment world. Will Smith’s transformation from a fearful child in a tense West Philadelphia home to one of the biggest rap stars of his era and then one of the biggest movie stars in Hollywood history, with a string of box office successes that will likely never be broken, is an epic tale of inner transformation and outer triumph, and Will tells it astonishingly well.
