![]() The findings also indicate differences between the approach companies take to global and regional environmental issues, showing that companies are more involved with regional environmental issues. No study has been conducted in the Slovak Republic on the impact of the size parameter of a company on CSR activities in the environmental area comparing small, medium, and large enterprises. The results of the study suggest the potential impact of the legislative obligation to disclose non-financial information (CSR activities) on involvement in CSR, where only large companies have this obligation. An important aspect of the study was to identify the influence of the size of a company on the involvement in CSR. Today, corporate environmental responsibility is coming to the fore with the aim of solving global and regional environmental issues. ![]() TheĪim of this approach is to achieve sustainability through three basic pillars: the economic, social, and environmental. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been a highly debated topic in recent years. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And it’s exactly here that the body of the dead engineer Luparello is found. On the outskirts of Vigàta, there’s the Mannàra, an open-air brothel. ![]() The Shape of Water, like all the other novels in the series, is set in the fictional small-town Vigàta, in Sicily, which was inspired by Camilleri’s hometown Porto Empedocle, near Agrigento. Thanks to Stu, who dedicated March to Italian literature, I finally picked up the first in the series, The Shape of Water – La forma dell’acqua. After reading a few reviews recently, I realized, I was wrong and that this wasn’t a cozy series at all. I thought this was a cozy crime series and while I occasionally enjoy them, I’m rarely willing to read a whole series. I’ve been aware of him for ages, but for some reason, I never felt tempted to read his books. Camilleri was born in 1925 in Sicily, where the series is set. Andrea Camilleri is an Italian crime writer, famous for his long-standing Inspector Montalbano series. ![]() ![]() ♥ Inspiration for the Addicted series can be found on their Pinterest boards. ♥ Join Krista & Becca's Fizzle Force Facebook group. ![]() But if you want to connect with Becca or me, you can reach out to us on our social medias or at our website: Instagram | Facebook | TikTok To stay up to date on new releases, bonus content, and more, sign up for Krista & Becca's Newsletter: Quick note: We don't check Goodreads, so we don't respond to messages here.

And that work entails milking minotaurs, aka giving handjobs to minotaurs to collect their ejaculation for use in a Viagra-like pharmaceutical drug. When she sees a job posting at the Morning Glory Farm, she decides to take a chance on it as it pays well, even if she’s hesitant about the actual work. Violet needs a job to help her pay her bills until she can find work in her chosen profession. I don’t think I can ever look at a glass of milk the same ever again. Morning Glory Milking Farm is my first monster romance, and I’ve got to say, it managed to be exactly what I expected it to be, but also unexpected in how sweet the romance was. What did I just read? After seeing this book EVERYWHERE on Instagram, I decided to give it a go.

It also speaks of somewhere else entirely. “We must return to where it was lost / if we want to find it again.” Wavering between melancholy and resolve, “A Children’s Story” speaks to our national mood better than most overtly political poems of the past few years. (“Outside the car, the cows and pastures are drifting away.”) But unlike other children’s stories, this one is in no rush to console. The poem it appears in, less so: “A Children’s Story” imagines a royal family driving back to the city after a pastoral sojourn, “all the little princesses / rattling in the back of the car.” The tone suits the genre invoked by its title the scene is at once mundane and surreal. ![]() “Nobody knows anything about the future.” In its apparent rebuke to both writer and reader, the line might seem exemplary of the stark, unsentimental lyric voice for which Glück is best known. “ Who can speak of the future?” Louise Glück asks in her new book of poems, Winter Recipes From the Collective. ![]() ![]() In 2019, Alanson committed to write a total of fourteen novels for Expeditionary Force and three Mavericks novels, though the third Mavericks novel was later revised as an ExForce title making it fifteen books in total for ExForce and two for Mavericks. The novella laid the foundations for a short spin-off series set within the same fictional universe, entitled Mavericks. In 2017 Alanson wrote a standalone novella called Trouble in Paradise, expanding on the events that take place between books three and four in the ExForce series. The audiobook for Columbus Day was nominated for an " Audiobook of the Year" Audie Award in 2018. The Expeditionary Force books are performed by award-winning narrator R. Alanson signed with Podium Publishing to produce the audiobook versions of the novels (Podium had previously produced the audiobook of Andy Weir's The Martian). The commercial success of Columbus Day, and the follow-up SpecOps, allowed Alanson to become a full-time writer. ![]() One of his three debut novels was Columbus Day, the first book in the Expeditionary Force ( ExForce ) series.

Is it normal for literally every single person in your life to always cry at everything? Are they ok? I think Piper alone cried about 20 times in the first 40%. Honestly, I was hoping she wouldn't just so she could be brought down a peg. I didn't care if she got into art school. The way she talked and carried herself was incredible pretentious and infuriating. You know when someone's voice just drives you crazy? That's how it was for me and Piper. I've literally read books where evil villains had more redemptive qualities than she did. And literally no one cares that she was the biggest bully ever. Literally the worst person I've ever read about. I understand she was supposed to be awful but she was. I WANTED TO PUNCH HALF THE CHARACTERS IN THE FACE ALL. ![]() The cliches in this book were ridiculous. This ARC is seriously stunning and the concept sounding so great and promising. I don't mean to be so harsh but, like I said, it takes a lot for me to DNF a book. It is very very rare that I DNF a book, so I have some things to say aha. ![]() ![]() ![]() And if an author’s work is devoured, furiously, hungrily, then that’s an important thing to take note of. Sometimes the biggest thing for me, as an adult who’s involved in children’s literature, is to step back and recognise my position as a guest in this space. And I’d come to that decision for a variety of reasons, not just for the quality of his art work which burns from his books like fire, but also because of the children I knew who pretty much swallowed each and everything he’d published. ![]() This is where I stood with Chris Riddell conscious that I hadn’t really read much of his work, but conscious that his work was good. And yet, equally, it’s also very easy to have a consciousness of who and what that author is and how they do what they do. It’s very easy for somebody who reads a lot of books to miss an author. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mallory begins to suspect these are glimpses of an unsolved murder from long ago, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force lingering in the forest behind the Maxwell’s house. As the days pass, Teddy’s artwork becomes more and more sinister, and his stick figures steadily evolve into more detailed, complex, and lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. She lives in the Maxwell’s pool house, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy. Fresh out of rehab, Mallory Quinn takes a job in the affluent suburb of Spring Brook, New Jersey as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell.
