P.S. I Miss You by Jen Petro-Roy7/8/2023 Jen Petro-Roy is a former teen librarian, an obsessive reader, and a trivia fanatic. Rutledge, definitely check that one out, too. If you missed the first installment with A.B. Since Jen rocked the format, I was eager to interview her in this second installment of my “Why Epistolary?” series. I’m a sucker for a good epistolary novel…but I also recognize the challenges a writer encounters when structuring a novel as a series of letters, diary entries, or messages of another kind. The book is written as a series of letters from the charming and earnest Evie to her older sister Cilla, and the intimacy of that epistolary format contributed to making the book so impossible for me to put down. That’s how I felt with Jen Petro-Roy’s middle-grade debut, P.S. You know that feeling when you’re reading a really good book, and you’re so desperate to know what’s going to happen that you hurry through the pages even though you also don’t want the story to be over? Posted Octoby laurielmorrison & filed under Author Interviews, Middle Grade Literature, The Writing Process. Why Epistolary? Part 2: An Interview with Debut Author Jen Petro-Roy Devolution max7/8/2023 Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. Kate’s is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity’s defiance in the face of a terrible predator’s gaze, and inevitably, of savagery and death. “In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it. But the journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing-and too earth-shattering in its implications-to be forgotten. “As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined. In Devolution: A Firsthand Account of the Rainier Sasquatch Massacre, “The #1 bestselling author of World War Z takes on the Bigfoot legend with a tale that blurs the lines between human and beast-and asks what we are capable of in the face of the unimaginable.” “Ashcroft will also polish the script with his writing partner Eli Kent,” THR adds. THR reports that James Ashcroft ( Coming Home in the Dark) is on board to direct. Legendary Entertainment had picked up the rights to World War Z author Max Brooks‘ new Bigfoot novel Devolutionjust last year, and this week a director has been found. The favored daughter by fawzia koofi7/7/2023 Her mother shunned her at birth, leaving her unattended for 24 hours after her birth, essentially to die. By her own telling, her father spoke only once to her in her life, and that was to tell her to go away. The origins of the name of the book are a little unclear. The subject of this book would persuasively say that they should be given that chance. Is democracy possible to create? Can Afghanistan sustain a democracy after centuries of tribal culture and decades of political corruption. There is an equal amount said here that would make you think someone should stay and monitor the recovery. There is a lot said here that might lead you to think it was foolish to have entered in the first place (if you didn't already think that post-Russian invasion-but then we were never all that great at learning from the mistakes of others, and we have yet to find our post-Cold War place in the world). That being said-that it is not a book of great artisanship-does not detract at all from the fact that it is a story worth listening to, and listening loud and clear, because this is about the country that we are about to pull our troops out of. This is a ghost written book, with a named ghost, but the story has the same limitations, problems, and pluses that you would expect-the story is not the one the writer would tell, but it is better written than the one that the subject would write. Elizabeth macneal the doll factory7/7/2023 Suddenly her world begins to expand, to become a place of art and love.īut Silas has only thought of one thing since their meeting, and his obsession is darkening. When Iris is asked to model for pre-Raphaelite artist Louis Frost, she agrees on the condition that he will also teach her to paint. For Iris, an aspiring artist, it is the encounter of a moment – forgotten seconds later, but for Silas, a collector entranced by the strange and beautiful, that meeting marks a new beginning. The greatest spectacle the city has ever seen is being built in Hyde Park, and among the crowd watching two people meet. The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal is the intoxicating story of a young woman who aspires to be an artist, and the man whose obsession may destroy her world for ever. ‘A sharp, scary, gorgeously evocative tale of love, art and obsession’ – Paula Hawkins, author of The Girl on the Train The Sunday Times Bestseller – As read on BBC Radio 4 Mr. Confidence by Rahiem Brooks7/7/2023 It will be more convenient to say it was erotica with sex and money drama. I wish someone had put a review earlier on this book so I could get a better picture of what’s actually in the book before accepting the request, because it was totally not as blurb described it. I was expecting this book a crime thriller based on con, scam and scheme by the blurb. Pulse-pounding seconds pass as Don Juan risks his freedom and fatherhood for the score of a lifetime. But with the money abundantly flowing in, Don Juan takes explosive measures to get custody of his daughter and to avoid another trip to the penitentiary. They commit several scams and schemes–and Secret Service agents are watching. His life becomes packed with unbelievable excitement when he is drawn into a life of white-collar crime by his childhood pal, Lex. He plans to get a job to be a family good father, but his plans are derailed soon after his release. When a wrongly accused man (Don Juan Jackson) gets out of prison, he focuses his attention on becoming a good example for his six-year-old daughter, who at her tender age has been terribly influenced by her mother and her mother’s many paramours. Captain blood novel7/7/2023 When the island is attacked by Spanish raiders, he seizes his chance to escape by commandeering one of their ships and after transforming himself into the notorious Captain Blood, our hero becomes a pirate both feared and respected throughout the Caribbean. Here Blood meets two people who will have a huge influence on his future: Colonel Bishop, the cruel, brutal plantation owner and his beautiful niece, Arabella, with whom Blood falls in love. Wrongly found guilty of treason, he is lucky enough to avoid hanging but instead he is sent into slavery on a sugar plantation in Barbados. Peter Blood, an Irish physician and former soldier, is arrested during the Monmouth Rebellion of 1685 when he is discovered tending the wounds of an enemy of King James II. Captain Blood is another wonderful book and I enjoyed it almost as much as Scaramouche! I loved it so much I immediately added two more of Sabatini’s books to my Classics Club list – Captain Blood and The Sea-Hawk – though not without some reservations as these are both books about pirates and with my general dislike of books set on ships I thought the seafaring elements might be too much for me. One of my favourite books of last year was Scaramouche by Rafael Sabatini, a classic historical adventure novel set during the French Revolution. And who made me that? Who made me thief and pirate?” “Thief and pirate is what you heard Miss Bishop call me today – a thing of scorn, an outcast.

Chasing Impossible by Katie McGarry ~ Release Day. Edwin abbott's flatland7/6/2023 But don't let size fool you: to grasp every element of the book will take a close reading. In this world of "plane geometry" with "Euclidian Geometric" shapes, each dimension can only perceive the one below it - so if one has evidence of a third, what about a fourth? Flatland has so many dimensions to it - mathematical, philosophical, social, religious - that it's hard to believe it's only 82 pages. Men are depicted as polygonal, while women are straight lines (now hang on a minute!)….Flatland illustrates marvelously the difficulty a person or group might have seeing a greater reality, or different reality, than its own. These shapes think that the "planar" world of length and width are all that exist, until one shape discovers the existence of a third physical dimension, which ultimately is expanded to the concept of a fourth.Īs a given shape, one's class and intelligence is determined by one's number of sides. Its author, writing anonymously as "A Square" takes us on a fantastical trip to a completely flat, two-dimensional world whose inhabitants are geometric shapes. Edwin Abbott Abbott's satirical 1884 novella Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, is "on the surface" an examination of multiple dimensions. The mill of the floss7/6/2023 Commenting on the lives of the Dodsons and the Tullivers the narrator claims that 'you could not live among such people', and that 'I share with you this sense of oppressive narrowness'. The novel explores the complex relationships of Victorian familial life as well as wider societal issues such as the position of women in the world. Equally memorable are the Aunts - the famous 'Dodson' sisters based on Mary Anne's own aunts, her mother's sisters, the Pearsons. The Tulliver family are at the heart of the novel. She and Lewes eventually found what they were looking for at Gainsborough on a tributary of the River Trent. Eliot needed to find an actual mill and tidal river capable of the disastrous flood at the end of the novel. But there is such a strain of poetry to relieve the tragedy that the more she cries, and the readers cry, the better say I'. As Lewes reported to their publisher Blackwood, 'Mrs Lewes is getting her eyes redder and swollener every morning as she lives through her tragic story. Eliot needed no model for the brother-sister relationship at the heart of the novel, the novel widely being seen as semi-autobiographical. The Mill on the Floss is based around George Eliot's own experiences of provincial life, focusing on the struggles of the headstrong Maggie and her brother Tom Tulliver of Dorlecote Mill, St Oggs. |
