Book Description
There's no one in her life that Kate Grayson despises more than Colton James; he's inconsiderate, rude, irresponsible and perverted, and yet he has an effect on her she can't even begin to explain. Determined not to fall for the resident bad boy, Kate falls into a vicious cycle of being pulled into his attractive charm before forcing herself to stay away. For his part, Colton finds Kate intriguing and when he warns his friend away from her, he realizes that perhaps her lack of desire for him only enhances his own desire for her.

Book Description
Jane Mansfield, a gentleman's daughter in 1813 England, has long wished to escape a life in which career choices are limited to wife or maiden aunt. But awakening one morning in twenty-first-century Los Angeles - in the body of someone called Courtney Stone - is not exactly what she had in mind. Jane must quickly get to grips with a world in which everyone thinks she is Courtney Stone: a dizzying world of horseless metal carriages, unrestricted clothing, tiny apartments, all manner of flirting,and unheard-of liberties for womankind. The only thing Jane appears to have in common with Courtney is a love for the novels of Jane Austen. But are the wise words of her favourite novelist enough to guide her through this bewildering new world? And what is she to make of Courtney's attentive friend Wes, who is as attractive and confusing as the man who broke her heart back home? As Courtney's romantic entanglements become her own, Jane wonders: Would she actually be better off back in Regency England - and will she ever be able to return?

Pages : 92
Book Description
In RUDE AWAKENINGS-An Adolescent's Search for Love-Sandy has moved from Wilber, Nebraska, to Manilla, Iowa. Once a champion of hollyhocks and swimming holes and the open fields, she now discards her sneakers and butterfly net and, like a child in wild anticipation, embarks upon an adolescent's sentimental journey-a search for love. Her exploration of this bizarre and confusing landscape begins with TRAIN RIDE. Mama's mixed messages about right and wrong cause Sandy to ponder what "good girls" do and don't do. In SWEET SIXTEEN, Sandy's sixteenth birthday becomes the turning point for letting go of Mama's apron strings and cutting ties with her spiritual upbringing and the Church. Daddy's untimely death and Mama's mental breakdown, force Sandy to say GOODBYE DAD, HELLO MOM. At the onset of her senior year of high school, Sandy moves to Paullina, Iowa, graduates, and then becomes her mother's caretaker for the next forty years. Earmarked by a struggle for survival, Sandy's college years are difficult. However, one of the few pleasant distractions from studying is a DANCIN' FOOL-a handsome Irish-Catholic gay boy, fondly known as "twinkle toes"-who isn't afraid to foxtrot his way out of a confrontation with his bullying peers. Another is "Bloody Mary", a risqué young woman who offers Sandy some comic relief as well as a little healthy rebellion in THE MEANING OF BIRDCAGE. It's all Greek to Sandy until her philosophy professor exposes her to his not so lofty ideas. All this fun and frolic culminates with MR. GRAY TIE-Sandy's SECOND CHOICE for a husband. On her birthday a year later, when Sandy returns to Iowa to visit her mother, she gets an unexpected call from her first choice. Too little, too late. Somewhere in between all of these escapades, Sandy's loss of innocence causes her to wonder, "Why did I decide to roam?"

Impoliteness
Author: Jonathan Culpeper
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139495089
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
When is language considered 'impolite'? Is impolite language only used for anti-social purposes? Can impolite language be creative? What is the difference between 'impoliteness' and 'rudeness'? Grounded in naturally-occurring language data and drawing on findings from linguistic pragmatics and social psychology, Jonathan Culpeper provides a fascinating account of how impolite behaviour works. He examines not only its forms and functions but also people's understandings of it in both public and private contexts. He reveals, for example, the emotional consequences of impoliteness, how it shapes and is shaped by contexts, and how it is sometimes institutionalised. This book offers penetrating insights into a hitherto neglected and poorly understood phenomenon. It will be welcomed by students and researchers in linguistics and social psychology in particular.
