A masterful new novel from the winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize, hailed for depicting the landscape of the dispossessed with the concentration of poetry and the frankness of prose (Nobel Prize Committee)
It was an icy morning in January 1945 when the patrol came for seventeen-year-old Leo Auberg to deport him to a camp in the Soviet Union. Leo would spend the next five years in a coke processing plant, shoveling coal, lugging bricks, mixing mortar, and battling the relentless calculus of hunger that governed the labor colony: one shovel load of coal is worth one gram of bread.In The Hunger Angel, Nobel laureate Herta M ller calls upon her unique combination of poetic intensity and dispassionate precision to conjure the distorted world of the labor camp in all its physical and moral absurdity. She has given Leo the language to express the inexpressible, as hunger sharpens his senses into an acuity that is both hallucinatory and profound. In scene after disorienting scene, the most ordinary objects accrue tender poignancy as they acquire new purpose--a gramophone box serves as a suitcase, a handkerchief becomes a talisman, an enormous piece of casing pipe functions as a lovers' trysting place. The heart is reduced to a pump, the breath mechanized to the rhythm of a swinging shovel, and coal, sand, and snow have a will of their own. Hunger becomes an insatiable angel who haunts the camp, but also a bare-knuckled sparring partner, delivering blows that keep Leo feeling the rawest connection to life.
M ller has distilled Leo's struggle into words of breathtaking intensity that take us on a journey far beyond the Gulag and into the depths of one man's soul.

Cute, with effective self adhesive
Color: Gold, Color: Gold
These are super cute.
I’ll start with the packaging:
The kit comes all together in a plastic pouch. There are three sheets of gold stud stickers, and a separately packaged pair of application tweezers. The sheets are individually packaged with a thin cardboard backing to keep them from wrinkling, and they themselves are stuck onto a transparent sheet of plastic.
They are secured with tiny plastic double sided stickers on the back, similar to double sided tape. Note: sometimes the stud pulls right off the sticker, but you can grab that bad boy gently with the tweezers, peel it off, and stick it right back on without losing any adhesive property.
I decided to just experiment with them to see how they work. I was able to move the studs from one part of my face to another, testing out what different piercings might look like, and on the third location change I just left them there and they stayed perfectly fine without falling off. So don’t let the occasional sticker pulling away from the stud concern you; the self adhesive is actually pretty legit!
I know I look like I haven’t slept in three years, but including a picture after I had already moved them around a few times so you can see how they managed to keep their stickiness.
I plan to do an elaborate makeup look and utilize them for it tomorrow so I might come back and add cooler pictures of that as well!

Chewing pups love them.
My 8 mo Morkie loves them . The other two won't touch them . They're heavier than I expected but Belle doesn't seem to mind that. Great for dogs that like to chew!

Meh..., I'll stick to fave pig ear chews
Only 4 for $6, idk these don't last long. I wanted to try them because my dogs love being spoiled but I think I'll stick to pig ears at a discount from Petco. They are very hard, some chews crumble or soften as the dogs knaw at them during the day. However these chews didn't last longer than 10 minutes compared to actual no rawhide alternatives I have used. These didn't do that. No upset stomach so that's a plus. The smell was similar to pig ears also, texture was different. No slimy residue w/ it unlike with the regular 100% pig ears. Helped with plague build up but there is still plague on insicor tooth. Probably won't buy again, meh.
