![]() With these tumultuous events as inspiration, Jane’s breathtaking first novel adapts her story for a truly epic romance that captures the hope and the heartbreak that have made the television drama so beloved. Jane the Virgin, the Golden Globe, AFI, and Peabody Award–winning The CW dramedy, has followed Jane’s telenovela-esque life-from her accidental artificial insemination and virgin birth to the infant kidnapping and murderous games of the villainous Sin Rostro to an enthralling who-will-she-choose love triangle. ![]() ![]() It’s been a lifetime (and three seasons) in the making, but Jane Gloriana Villanueva is finally ready to make her much-anticipated literary debut! “Fans of the show will undoubtedly enjoy the chance to read Jane’s book in real life.” -Entertainment Weekly ![]() “Just the thing for a cold winter’s night between episodes.” -The Washington Post Book World ![]() ![]() The book also provides readers with the basic mathematical tools for designing new algorithms and proving new impossibility results. This book familiarizes readers with important problems, algorithms, and impossibility results in the area: readers can then recognize the problems when they arise in practice, apply the algorithms to solve them, and use the impossibility results to determine whether problems are unsolvable. ![]() The presentation is completely rigorous, yet is intuitive enough for immediate comprehension. The material on system models is isolated in separate chapters for easy reference. The material is organized according to the system model-first by the timing model and then by the interprocess communication mechanism. The problems covered include resource allocation, communication, consensus among distributed processes, data consistency, deadlock detection, leader election, global snapshots, and many others. The algorithms are proved correct, and their complexity is analyzed according to precisely defined complexity measures. ![]() ![]() She directs her book at a wide audience, including students, programmers, system designers, and researchers.ĭistributed Algorithms contains the most significant algorithms and impossibility results in the area, all in a simple automata-theoretic setting.

If that sort of thing doesn’t bother you, and if you like nautical adventures and tragic (rather than sordid) love stories, She Rises might be the book you wish you’d read over the summer. Before I get my review underway I will mention that while I’m quite keen on seafaring violence, and am perfectly content to read about despicable characters, I had to skim over several instances of sexual depravity in order to keep reading. She Rises was a strange combination of things I love and things I hate, and while I definitely thought it was an interesting and beautiful book there were some details which made me shudder on a non-literary level. ![]() ![]() Age rage recommendation: 15+ (some violence and language unpleasant sexual situations) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am also an only child who married a fourth-generation New Zealander from a large family. ![]() I’m a first-generation immigrant, having been born in Wales and only arriving in New Zealand at the age of twelve.

Her characters are set amidst the everyday happenings of that time, often rubbing shoulders with well-known names and involved in actual events. As a genealogist in love with history, these immigrants and their descendants drive Vicky’s stories. Vicky Adin is the author of six historical novels inspired by the ordinary men, women and children who emigrated to New Zealand in the late 19th Century.
