![]() I'm blown away with how communication is stressed through out, and WTF it's a werewolf book too? I'm SOLD! I mean just WOW this book BLEW me straight out the water!! With the way they've set up true mates, and the other details that are beginning to come to light about this world the author has created, I'm at the edge of my seat to see if our heroine gets to keep her boys, or if she's yet to find her one true soulmate! At this point. ![]() Never in my life have a I read a book that accurately depicts the mindset of a successful poly-amorous household, within a YA, let alone to this caliber. The fact that this book could change my mind COMPLETELY about 5 characters, while having NINE main characters in total? Says something about the author's character development abilities!! Now, I'm SO deadly curious to see where this goes. At first I wanted our heroine to have NOTHING to do with 3/8 of the guys, and 2 others had already been seriously friend zoned in my mind. Being the over sensual pervert I am) between hot intimate moments, and outstanding character development. This book has the PERFECT balance ( for me, anyway. I absolutely LOVE a story that can be EXTREMELY sexy, while not being ABOUT sex. Where does Finding My Pack rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far? I love when sexual encounters naturally manifest!! ![]()

![]() ![]() Some Plato scholars have identified Symposium’s six speeches-those of Phaedrus, Pausanias, Eryximachus, Aristophanes, Agathon, and Socrates-as roughly approximating the stages of ascent. In short, the ascent, resembling a staircase, goes like this: one “should go from one to two and from two to all beautiful bodies, and from beautiful bodies to beautiful practices, and from practices to beautiful forms of learning… that form of learning which is of nothing other than that beauty itself.” In other words, one must progress from love for physical things to love for mental things, and from love of particular things to love of universal things in order to arrive at true happiness and wisdom. In Symposium 210a-212a, in Socrates’s dialogue with the prophetess Diotima, Diotima describes the stages through which a lover of wisdom must ascend in order to apprehend true Beauty. ![]() ![]() ![]() After doing a sport for so long, then not doing it anymore, it would be a big change.Shawn Johnson is oviously the main character in the book.
