Brandon sanderson sissoylu7/6/2023 Raoul Glaber seems to have known nothing about their religious practices, because he said they worshipped idols like pagans, and performed disgusting sacrifices with Jews! He ended with stories of demons and devils.Īccording to an Italian chronicler called Landolfo Seniore, who was working in Milano, the Archbishop of Milano, Ariberto, heard about the heresy on a visit to the Bishop of Torino, and had a long interview with one of the Monforte heretics named Girardus. They tried to convert the heretics, but had to burn the most recalcitrant at the stake, because the heretics would rather be martyred than give up their way of worshipping God. According to the chronicler, Raoul Glaber, it occurred at Monforte in the diocese of Asti, and was discovered by the ruler of Torino and his brother, the bishop of Asti. This piece looks briefly at a second case of possibly illuminist heresy in the 11th century.

The royal highness book7/6/2023 When a calamitous drought overtakes southern California, a group of teens must struggle to keep their lives and their humanity in this father-son collaboration. Millie’s new friend Lady Sakshi is biracial Indian/white, while everyone else is white. The short chapters are interspersed with chatty gossip articles about events as they unfold, and character relationships come across clearly in dialogue that is at turns witty, awkward, and romantic. Can Millie hack it as a princess’s girlfriend? What will Flora’s mother, Queen Clara, say? Millie narrates in the present tense with funny, smart, and sarcastic observations of the posh people around her. During the resulting trudge through the woods, the girls each admit to an attraction to girls (Millie is bi and Flora is gay), and they reach a turning point, starting to fall for each other. During the annual wilderness challenge, Flora sends their camping gear downriver in another scheme to get sent home. Flora repeatedly tries to get kicked out of school, and Millie often finds herself dragged along for the ride. The gorgeous and glamorous Princess Flora of Scotland is rude and condescending, and the two girls can barely co-exist. It’s a dream come true (hello, local rock samples) until Millie’s roommate arrives. Keen geologist Amelia “Millie” Quint is spending her senior year in the Scottish Highlands, at the prestigious Gregorstoun school. A Texas teen enrolls in a Scottish boarding school in this fresh spin on the commoner/royal romance.

Intuition amy a bartol7/5/2023 I'd still recommend, just think it could be a little better. It's more of a 'hey fella's what do you want to drink' used by a rough drunk bloke at a pub not a 'the fellas are coming to kill us' at a life or death war council kinda word. I actually want to die of embarrassment for her that all of the Irish clan are referred to as 'fella's' every time they are mentioned in serious conversation because she has so got the use of that word that she's clearly found online and doesn't use herself completely wrong. The author is a bit cringe when writing about the Irish lot, she has obviously done a generic google search for pointers as every character is called a very stereotypical Irish name. I do think some of the characters just accept completely random stuff too easily and with a better writing skill they could appear to have more reaction/personality. But it is interesting enough to want to know what happens next. The overall storyline does have good potential and I have given it 4* because I will listen to the rest, but it is just a complete rip off cross between Twilight and the Mortal Instruments. Her Irish/Deep South accents are a bit off, but you still know what shes trying to do and which characters she's being before their names are said. Firstly, Emily Woo Zeller is a great narrator - there has been books in the past I have given up on listening to within a few chapters because the narration lacks any engagement but she is fab.
