5/23/2023 0 Comments Rabbit In Red by Joe Chianakas![]() What to say? I love the horror nerdiness dripping from every corner of this book. I am looking so forward to the rest of the series! I absolutely loved this book, and it was quite educational too. ![]() I absolutely love the originality of this book, how it was literally written in a world as today, where technology was utilized and how kids actually interact and function now. There were some other key characters where we only got to touch on their backgrounds, but the book doesn't feel as though it is lacking anything in that regard whatsoever. As disheartening as that may be, it was also thrilling for the fact that the book is far from predictable.įor a book with such a quick start, and not much time on character development, it was surprising that by the end of the book, I felt as though I was as close to Jamie, Bill, Wes, and Rose as they were themselves. I remember I kept making these hypothesis as I was reading the book on what would happen next, and not a single one of them turned out correct. I just want to start by saying that the plot of this book and the setting for which it was based, was nothing to what I expected. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Poison Song is the culmination of an excellent trilogy. The characters are wonderful and the story is well written and engaging. I have loved The Winnowing Flame trilogy so much. I just didn’t want it to end so I dragged it out for as long as possible. It took me a week to finish The Poison Song. It is a journey wrought with pain and sacrifice – a reckoning that will change the face of Sarn forever. But even she underestimates the epic quest that is to come. Noon is no stranger to playing with fire and knows just where to recruit a new – and powerful – army. ![]() But with Tor distracted, and his sister Hestillion hell-bent on bringing ruthless order to the next Jure’lia attack, the people of Sarn need all the help they can get. The deep-rooted connection that Tormalin, Noon and the scholar Vintage share with their Eboran war-beasts has kept them alive so far. Now refugees from every corner of Sarn seek shelter within its crumbling walls, and the enemy that has poisoned their land won’t lie dormant for long. The Jure’lia are weak, but the war is far from over.Įbora was once a glorious city, defended by legendary warriors and celebrated in song. ![]() Does anyone else put off finishing the final book in a series because they don’t want it to end? You’ve gone on this amazing adventure with awesome characters and you’re just not ready to say goodbye so you deliberately slow down your reading in a futile attempt to not have to finish it but at the same time you’re desperate to know what’s going to happen. ![]() 5/23/2023 0 Comments Monster High by Margaret Green![]() On Clawdeen's 15th birthday, she receives an invitation to study at Monster High.

She hates him-his stone-cold demeanor, his arrogance and too-perceptive eye-but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. One winter night and their lives intertwine. With a proclivity for order and the number three, he’s never been tempted to veer off course. ![]() Christian Allister has always followed the life plan he’d envisioned in his youth, beneath the harsh lights of a frigid, damp cell. In the New York underworld, others know him as a hustler, a killer, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. Most see a paragon of morality a special agent upholding the law. Little do most know it’s just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time. She laughs too loudly, eats without decorum, and mixes up most sayings in the book. Her dresses are too tight, her heels too tall. ![]() ![]()

Yet both the South and Black America have too often been painted with a single brush. Nor, she takes great pains to explain, are Black Americans. But here Perry makes the South her primary focus, joining a growing number of Black writers-including Kiese Laymon, Jesmyn Ward, Tressie McMillan Cottom, and Zandria Robinson-who have forced us to reconsider what the South means in present-day America while also reevaluating what we thought we knew about the South of the past.Īt the heart of Perry’s book is this basic truth: The American South is not a monolith. ![]() They also have something in common throughout: a centering of the Black experience and, as a result, of the Southern experience that helped shape Black experience. Her works are radical combinations of history, African American studies, Southern studies, sociology, anthropology, gender studies, and cultural studies. The Hughes-Rogers Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University, Perry has built a career out of writing books that escape easy categorization as one genre or another. S outh to America crisscrosses genres in much the same way that Perry crisscrossed the South while she was working on it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Despite the brevity of the tales and the thematic constants (American-British pairings living in London monthlong trips weekends in the country wild and cultivated gardens jobs as fashion editors, nurses, and lawyers unexpected accidents chance encounters and a plethora of family members and siblings and children and loving mothers and, sometimes, women who have no one at all), each story stands alone, unique and memorable, with its own story of love found. In this collection of 15 short stories, published together for the first time, Pilcher (1924-2019) has done something remarkable. Love-falling in love, being in love, trying to rediscover love-can be even more wildly complex because it involves two people coming together. They have moods and frustrations and make impromptu decisions that have long-lasting repercussions. ![]() A delightful collection of short stories that explore the myriad facets of falling in and out of love. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Heinlein beyond this horizon![]() Beyond This Horizon, 1948 (initially serialized in 1942, and at that time credited to Anson MacDonald).The opening installment of The Puppet Masters took the cover of the September 1951 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction Novels marked with an asterisk * are part of Scribner's "juvenile" series.
