He also hides a secret love for his beautiful neighbor Zari, who has been betrothed since birth to another man.

The violent consequences awaken him to the reality of living under a powerful despot, and lead Zari to make a shocking choice... my thoughts: This book was first published in 2009 and I remember adding it to my list around that time but never actually reading it since I preferred checking out library books to ...
This is a concept that I don't really like, as in the Blogger sense, it means to post up adverts all over one's blog and get paid for them. Several times, I've been baited into getting interested about getting paid for blogging from several companies.
I guess it's a good way to advertise, if you want to make money from it. I guess I'm old-fashioned in the sense that I believe that one should blog because one enjoys it, or genuinely respects writing and owning a blog. It's not something that should be used as a tool to earn money. Blogs by individuals are personal. Imagine having tattooed adverts all over your body!
What bothers me more if that some people start blogging purely for making money. No! That's not how it's supposed to be!
What do you all think? Do you have adverts on your blog and make money from it, and if so, why? Do you like them?
One time, this woman told me she'd pay around $40 to put an advert on my blog for a few months. And I didn't want some ugly button marring my blog for a set amount of time in which I can do nothing to get rid of it. This AdSense thing on blogger explains how to make money using this program:
Blogger provides a simple way for you to make money with your blog. AdSense is Google's content-targeted advertising program. If you use AdSense, you don't have to select keywords or categories for your ads. Instead, Google's servers determine what your posts are about and display the most relevant ads to your readers. For example, if you blog about baseball, you might see ads for “Major League Baseball memorabilia” next to your post. If you blog about painting, you might see ads for “Art Supplies.”
