Just started the new book Seduced on Chapters, and guess what? MC and LI are lawyers, and they're competing against each other for the same spot. The book is in the BDSM category (I didn't know Chapters had added it! I loved!) and Ian (LI) told mc this, haha he's already won my heart... Anyway, I played the first three chapters and their dinamic is so fun! Can wait for the rest of the book!

And since I can't not say it: when I was playing it, my first thought was: I can't believe chapters brought a book about lawyers at the same time Choices has one going, and they did so right in having the li as a competitor and not her boss as choices did.

Chapters: +1 Choices: -1

The "Mead King" Mystery: Unpacking the Legal and Romantic Truth Behind the Surname

If you grew up in the Philippines during the 2000s, Joey Mead was an absolute icon. From her days as a Channel V VJ to her undeniable presence on the runways and in magazines, her name was a staple in local pop culture. I have been very much aware of Joey Mead for as long as I can remember. But fast forward to the 2010s, and a new name started surfacing on my social media feeds: Angie Mead…

In memoriam Dr. Ian King

Vor wenigen Tagen verstarb Dr. Ian King. Er war im Laufe seines beruflichen Lebens unter anderem Dozent, Germanist, Übersetzer und Journalist – um nur einige Stationen zu nennen. Seine reichhaltige Arbeit mögen dafür Berufene würdigen, mir steht das weder zu noch wäre ich dazu auch nur annähernd in der Lage. Ich möchte an den Menschen erinnern, den ich kennen und schätzen gelernt habe. Vor allem…

"Epilogue," in Ian King's Appetite for Definition:

In the course of putting this [book] together, some long-held suspicions were more or less confirmed, but one minor revelation was to see how genres with longevity and historical recognition behind them, such as folk rock from the 1960s, could be just as cooked-up and contentious in their creation as lesser fads that quickly came and went. Whether a genre grows organically or is manufactured doesn't necessarily determine its staying power. All the artificial needs to become authentic is time. Chillwave was hot one summer and cold the next, lauded and then dismissed in the same publications, but don't be surprised if in ten years time young music fans talk about it with the same sense of legitimacy as we do shoegaze now.

On punk's murky origins and raucous spirit, from "Punk Rock" in Ian King's Appetite for Definition:

Punk rock was conceived when the young John Lydon, as he recalled, "gyrated like a belly dancer" in Malcolm McLaren's Sex boutique in London as he sang along with Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen." Punk rock was invented in the basement of the Art Garden gallery and frame shop in Forest Hills, Queens, by four mischief makers who all took on the same family name. Punk rock burst out of Iggy Pop's chest like Alien when he smeared peanut butter on himself while being held aloft by the audience at the Cincinnati Pop Festival in 1970. Punk rock began when the Sonics howled about psychos and witches instead of love and good times. Punk rock sparks flew when kids watching Blackboard Jungle started ripping up theater seats when "Rock Around the Clock" began to play. Punk rock started down its path when Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil at the crossroads. Punk rock spit its first gob when Baudelaire pissed off French society with Les Fleurs du Mal. Punk rock was discovered when Leif Erikson found America and then Columbus swooped in five hundred years later and took the credit. Punk rock fermented when Jesus turned water into wine. That was punk as fuck.
