The writing style is therefore purposefully archaic and relatively simple and that only adds to the immersion factor. So I got up to reading it.Īnd it was glorious! The story consists of the biography of Sinuhe, a fictional character, based on a real persona in a later Egyptian timeline, and he describes his entire life throughout the reign of six pharaohs (all real historical figures naturally). Recently I stumbled across Sinuhe the Egyptian, a historical fiction novel, and my father backed the book up by claiming this was his favorite novel, when he was my age. Let me start off with the fact that I'm a huge ancient history and ancient mythology nerd, I've read countless pieces on the greek mythology, ancient egyptian culture and customs etc. I'm going to try and be as quick and short as possible and I'm still wrapping my head around the whole thing, so I apologize, if I don't give the book enough credit/give it too much credit. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the 90s and early 2000s, sales of the Nancy Drew novel series began to drop. In 2013, the Nancy Drew Diaries series was launched as the replacement for Girl Detective. Simon & Schuster cut back to 4 books a year in 2010, before low sales finally forced the cancellation of the Girl Detective series in 2011. In 2008, the series was changed into a trilogy format, which gained even more negative reviews than before. The series was negatively reviewed by many fans of the series, mainly over the change in Nancy's character. ![]() Though this series has many improvements over the Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, the drastic change in the main characters' personalities was hard for many readers to accept.

This new series is written in first person narration, from Nancy's point of view, and features updated versions of the main Nancy Drew characters. ![]() ![]() Nancy Drew: Girl Detective is a 2004–2012 book series which replaced the long-running Nancy Drew mystery series. Riverboat Ruse, from the Girl Detective series ![]() ![]() What Mitt Romney had meant to say is that these groups brought him "binders filled with information on qualified female candidates," not literally "binders full of women." You have to admit, it would be hard to stick more than an arm or a leg of an actual woman in a binder. It probably helped that the phrasing was super awkward. Twitter exploded and that moment became, hands down, the most talked about bit from the entire debate. This line was spoken by Mitt Romney in the 2012 Presidential Debates (October 16, 2012).ĭuring a debate against Barack Obama, while fielding a question about equal pay for women, Mitt Romney claimed that, when he was governor of Massachusetts, he personally sought to involve more ladies in his administration by reaching out to groups that provided him with " binders full of women." And just like that, a meme was born.
