Her role in American history earned her an iconic status in American culture, and her actions have left an enduring legacy for civil rights movements around the world. Her subsequent arrest and trial for this act of civil disobedience triggered the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the largest and most successful mass movements against racial segregation in history, and launched Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the organisers of the boycott, to the forefront of the civil rights movement. Parks is famous for her refusal on 1 December 1955, to obey bus driver James Blake’s demand that she relinquish her seat to a white man.

These books are a lot of fun but also have some more serious moments to them. I always found that there was some plotline that was my favourite in each story that made me keep reading even if I wasn’t a fan of one girl’s plotline. Nowadays you would probably get a single book for each girl but I like how they are all combined together. The books have a lot going on because you are essentially reading 4 different girls stories that are linked by them being all friends. While they are definite chick lit books, they really do have good messages about friendship and family. The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants series is one of the first Young Adult series I ever read and I credit it with my reading addiction.

One seeks justice through the law while the other seeks it with his gun. One lives by the rules, the other makes his own. But he never expected to feel something more for the haunted artist. He needs answers and the only person who can give them to him is a young man struggling to put his life back together. ![]() So why can't he bring himself to pull the trigger? After years of fighting in an endless, soul-sucking war, Navy SEAL Cole Bridgerton has come home to fight another battle - dealing with the discovery that the younger sister who ran away from home eight years earlier is lost to him forever. Ending the life of the young artist who committed unspeakable crimes against the most vulnerable of victims should have been the easiest thing in the world. The only thing keeping ex-cop Mace Calhoun from eating his own gun after an unthinkable loss is his role in an underground syndicate that seeks to get justice for the innocent by taking the lives of the guilty.

Thornton, have used the translations of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which they believe render more faithfully than those of any other age the even clarity of Ovids style.

Ovid says he saw something he should not have seen. ![]() Ovid's plaintive appeals in his writing from exile at Tomi, on the Black Sea, are less entertaining than his mythological and amatory writing and are also frustrating because, while we know Augustus exiled a 50-year-old Ovid for carmen et error, we don't know exactly what his grave mistake was, so we get an unsolvable puzzle and a writer consumed with self-pity who once was the height of wit, a perfect dinner party guest.
