Assembled herein are dozens of entries from her blog, including the 2014 Hugo Award-winning “We Have Always Fought” and nine new essays written specifically for this collection.

One nice thing about using the Bible for language learning is that when you get ready to study a more obscure language you may find audio for a portion of scripture. More advanced learners could look for another modern English translation there are many. But I believe this is an advantage for beginning learners of English. Besides having only a 1000 word vocabulary, it appears to avoid complicated syntax. The Bible in Basic English is a version made specifically for speakers of English as a second language. But it is suitable for many English native speakers for use as a parallel text because as the most popular English Bible, it is a familiar text. You are right that neither of the English Bible versions on that site give a good feel for modern standard English syntax. I am not sure the Bible gives a good feel for (even) standard English syntax. And then, on a fateful subway ride, she meets Jane. But she ends up finding both when she moves into an apartment full of endearing characters-Niko, a trans psychic whose powers are annoyingly strong his charismatic artist girlfriend, Myla and their third roommate, a tattoo artist named Wes. She spent most of her childhood helping her amateur sleuth mother attempt to track down August’s missing uncle, and all that detective work didn’t leave a lot of time for things like friendship and fun. Twenty-three-year-old August Landry arrives in New York with more cynicism than luggage (she can fit everything she owns into five boxes, and she’d love to downsize to four), hoping to blend in and muddle through. A young woman meets the love of her life on the subway, but there’s one problem: Her dream girl is actually a time traveler from the 1970s. Instructions and advice on how to best do an AMA.
