![]() ![]() It seemed like I had found the love of my life.įrom # 1 New York Times bestselling author, Joel Osteen came ‘ Your Best life now: #7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential’, a multi million copy book which was on the best seller ranks for over 200 weeks. It was that first book Joel Osteen released. It was like a dream come true as I hurried to grab the final copy on the shelf. As I was on my way to the exit, something grabbed my attention. ![]() Soon my excitement faded away and I was disappointed that I couldn’t find any book that was of interest to me and decided to leave. Once class was done, I rushed to the site hoping to feast on some nice books. It was a fine morning when I heard that there was going to be a book sale on the university campus. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() When one looks at such patterns, one inevitably returns to the continent of Africa. Yet, when one looks at planet Earth, we see global patterns in the manner in which the pandemic has spread and brought disaster, patterns that date back to the fifteenth century, patterns that are rooted in slavery and colonialism and, ultimately, in the construction of so-called race and racist oppression. Within the Global North, there are stark divisions over who is able to get access to the vaccine and who is not, not to mention which populations are sickening and dying disproportionately-divisions that are particularly rooted in oppressions based on class, race, and nationality. It is not that people in the so-called Global North-Canada, the United States, the European Union, Japan-have been able to defy the pandemic and secure health. The question of who has been able to obtain the vaccine and who has not who is able to produce the vaccine, and who is constrained by corporate patent restrictions. The Covid-19 pandemic has both illustrated and dramatized the ongoing North/South divide on planet Earth. ![]() ![]() But when a photo of them goes viral, savage internet trolls put their budding relationship to the ultimate test of strength.

A few of the other characters seemed a little underdone as well and could use with some fleshing out in the next instalments. I’m hoping that her character will grow as the series develops. The main character, Gwyneth, was a little naive and actually sounded quite young, which isn’t normally so typical of YA. This book was really fun to read and I flew through it. ![]() But that couldn’t be possible, as Sir Isaac Newton himself devised the exact date of birth of the 12th and final time traveller and it’s Charlotte’s birthday which is the day before Gwyneth’s… Sir Isaac Newton couldn’t be wrong, could he?
