Synopsis

In "Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 98, January 18, 1890," the celebrated British humorous magazine captures the essence of late Victorian society through its witty satire and vibrant illustrations. This volume features a rich tapestry of editorial cartoons, clever poems, and humorous essays, providing sharp commentary on contemporary politics, social norms, and cultural events. The blend of text and visual art embodies the magazine'Äôs characteristic style'Äîan amalgamation of keen insight and irreverence, reflecting the complexities of a society undergoing significant transformation during the Industrial Revolution. Punch, founded in 1841, became an integral part of British popular culture, largely due to its diverse contributors, including notable writers and artists such as George du Maurier and John Tenniel. As hyperbole and irony pervade the content, this volume encapsulates the spirit of its time, resonating with the authorial intent of critiquing societal hypocrisy while fostering public discourse. The humor often masks deeper social commentary, serving to engage readers and prompt reflection on their own realities. This volume is highly recommended for scholars of Victorian literature, fans of satirical humor, and anyone interested in understanding the cultural dynamics of 19th-century England. "Punch" serves as a time capsule, offering invaluable insight into the humor, sentiments, and critiques of the era, making it an essential read for those who appreciate the interplay of art and literature.

    While tying the bows on her wedding invitations, Kiersten's fiancé walked in and told her he didn't think he loved her, and maybe never had . . . Oh, and he'd cheated. At a place called The Magic Castle. But don't worry, because six months later, while Kiersten was struggling to pay rent, he won $100,000 on a reality show. Yes, you read that right . . . 
     
     
     
    A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. 
     
     
     
    Why is it that the minute you get your heart broken, whether by a boy or a dream, you look around to see everyone else is doing amazing! Because everyone else is stupid . . . 
     
     
     
    Oh, and why are they always telling you "everything happens for a reason"?! Leave me alone, Cheryl! 
     
     
     
    But also, don't. Because when you're alone, you're hit with the reality that you can't wake up from this bad dream. Why are you the only one heartbroken? The only one struggling? The only one . . . Crushed? But what if that's the stupid part? The lie that you are the only one. 
     
     
     
    In this nostalgic memoir equally cut with anguish and humor, Lyons invites listeners along on a lifetime of Crushed moments and the hope of being left in awe of the pivots she never wanted in the first place. 
     
     
     
    And what if realizing you aren't alone is the first step to one day knowing you'll be in awe too?

    All Because of a Love Note - How...

    Two words saved my life, two modest, but mighty words—THANK YOU! The most compelling chapter of my story began with a Love Note, one simple handwritten gesture of love, hope and gratitude. 
    My purpose was handed to me in the shape of an envelope, a simple, paper container with a sealable flap that holds a little bit of hope for our everyday heroes. As it turned out, a life of stationery was my destiny, not a stationary life. And it all began on the heels of a broken heart. 
    For the better part of my life, I dreamed of and even prayed for an epic love story, and this is a love story on so many levels. I just never expected it to come at such a great toll. But then again, if you look back through the course of history, the greatest love stories always do. 
    Natalie June Reilly is a freelance writer and every bit her mother's daughter. She is the founder of Nothing but Love Notes, a movement that has inspired a generation of love and gratitude. Somewhere along the way, she unearthed her happy ending, landing the beach, the boy and now the book. None of this would have been possible, if not for God's grace, a mother's love and a handwritten Love Note.
