![]() It is a relatively short read, around 20 minutes. Even if you posted those exact same pictures with the exact same captions and hashtags, you wouldn’t have the same number of followers.īut you shouldn’t give up if that is your passion. You honestly might have even better pictures than other accounts. ![]() Who hasn’t put up pictures on Instagram lately and had 3 views? It is really disheartening to set-up an incredible flat lay, adjust the lighting, set-up all the props, invest hours of your time, write an engaging caption with a hook and great hashtags to end up with 5 views. Yet, the videos which offered tips for makeup application, and people who actually researched the products were not monetized. The website wasn’t secret-anybody could just go to the website and read the information for him or herself, and you could even view the pictures. Yet, I just didn’t understand what value she brought to the internet. Her channel had more than 10,000 subscribers and was monetized. There was a lady who literally just read information from a website. ![]() The sad truth is that the best content is not always the most viewed or has the best visibility.īack in the day, I was looking at makeup tutorials on YouTube. This book is for all creators: artists, writers, photographers, aspiring YouTubers or Instagrammers! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Young children will enjoy the illustrations and the rhythmic text, but I think older children might embrace the concept of being positive and what provides happiness in their life. This book is perfect for children between the ages of three and seven years old. ![]() They are colorful and sprinkled with glowing and shadowed items, so the concept of light is really felt through the artwork. The illustrations provided by Cathy Ann Johnson are beautiful. Young readers will enjoy discovering the special glow in everything from nature to the smiles of loved ones. The end of the book states that light is actually seen within yourself. This lyrical and luminously illustrated picture book explores the beauty of the everyday moments in a childs world.Light can be so many things The twinkle of a faraway star, a firefly captured in a jar, a mothers love, a turtle dove. Lyrical text and crisp, cheerful illustrations illuminate What Is Light, each page revealing the sparkle found in a childs simple but extraordinary world. ![]() This can be seen on a leaf floating in the wind, loving embraces from friends and family, and a turtle dove and butterfly enjoying a flight in the sky. But the reader can see that there are many things that provide another kind of light. This includes how the sun brightens the day, how a star twinkles in the sky, and how a firefly glows inside a jar. This book features a rhythmic text that begins with things that actually provide some light. I love any children’s book about positivity and learning to truly appreciate the special things in life that create “light”. ![]() ![]() ![]() I am now 28 yrs old grown up working woman and I still love FY, I dont want to make this review long, Genbu Kaiden is more darker, kinda hardcore than the orig FY Miaka/Tamahome, I also believe that GK has the most strongest celestial warriors (they are all unique). ![]() I love the FS “mysterious play” it was one of my favorite anime back in the day.

Her name is romanized as "Yû Watase" in earlier printings of Viz Media's publications of Fushigi Yūgi, Alice 19th, and Ceres, The Celestial Legend, while in Viz Media's Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden and Absolute Boyfriend her name is romanized as "Yuu Watase". In October 2008, Watase began her first shōnen serialization, Arata: The Legend in Weekly Shōnen Sunday. Because of her frequent use of beautiful male characters in her works, she is widely regarded in circles as a bishōnen manga artist.

She received the Shogakukan Manga Award for shōjo for Ceres, Celestial Legend in 1997. She likes all music, except heavy metal and old traditional music. ![]() She is known for her works Fushigi Yūgi, Alice 19th, Ceres: The Celestial Legend, Fushigi Yūgi Genbu Kaiden and Absolute Boyfriend. ![]() ![]() ![]() My two favorite stories in this one were by writers I had never read before. One of the best things about anthologies is their ability to help us discover new writers. The title refers to a quote from the inimitable Octavia Butler, which is included in the frontmatter of the anthology: “There’s nothing new under the sun, but there are new suns.” As promised, each piece in New Suns glows with its own inner radiance. New Suns: Original Speculative Fiction by People of Color, edited by writer Nisi Shawl, is one of the anthologies that’s come out of this growing demand for diverse speculative fiction. The rise of speculative fiction has coincided with an increased demand for diversity in writing, leading to an explosion of creative new stories. Within the last decade, speculative fiction has become increasingly popular among both literary and mainstream readers and writers. These alternate worlds can be set in the past, the future, or a world that seems like our current one-until it doesn’t. Speculative fiction is hard to define, but this umbrella term generally refers to any fiction about a world different from our own. I’ve started reading more speculative fiction recently, and I’m not alone. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Ailey decides to embark on a journey through her family’s past, uncovering the shocking tales of generations of ancestors – Indigenous, Black, and white – in the deep South. From an early age, Ailey fights a battle to feel like she belongs, made all the more difficult by a hovering trauma, as well as the whispers of women – her mother, her sister and a maternal line reaching back two centuries – that urge her to succeed in their stead. Since childhood, Ailey Pearl Garfield has understood Du Bois’s words all too well.

HARLAN ELLISON has been called "one of the great living American short story writers" by the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times said, "It's long past time for Harlan Ellison to be awarded the title: 20th Century Lewis Carroll." ![]() ![]() ![]() A narrator who pretends to have consulted several prior chronicles of the life of his hero finds his chief source runs out in the middle of a battle. But it is full of surprises, and whatever crudeness it has is usually paired with immense sophistication, especially in the question of hidden cameras. Who is holding the invisible camera, what hidden authority or confirmation supports the angle of vision and choice of material? Salman Rushdie is, among many other things, a master of the missing camera, endlessly reminding us of what it is doing, and it is a pleasure to see him, in his new novel, working so closely with Cervantes, perhaps greatest of all ancestors in this art.Ī lot of Cervantes’s humour is pretty broad, and Nabokov wasn’t entirely wrong to call Don Quixote ‘a cruel and crude old book’. ![]() ![]() This thought is clearly relevant to narrative in general, whether reportage or fiction. There would still be a camera we can’t see. We could put the currently working camera into the picture, of course, but that would just change the subject, as Cavell remarks. The missing camera is ‘the one working now’, and its recurring absence makes Cavell feel there is ‘something unsaid’. He is writing of a literal movie camera, but he suggests a metaphorical reach for the claim too. ‘O ne can feel that there is always a camera left out of the picture,’ Stanley Cavell writes in The World Viewed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For travel flexibility, you can board or get off a Greyhound bus at official Greyhound stations, partner stations and curbside stops.
