I miss it so much.Īnd then the bear remembers where he’s seen it. The bear asks many more animals, with no success, and finally flops down in the grass and stares at the sky. We’re huddled around the book, reading on silently. The animals’ deadpan expressions and terse, uninflected dialogue make this exchange viciously funny. At the rabbit’s remarks, the girls burst out laughing. I thrust the book before their faces, you’ve got to read this, and we stand there turning the pages together. They’re in the kitchen, Scott and my three older girls, ages ten, twelve, and sixteen. This book is begging to be read aloud by a daddy like Scott. Don’t ask me any more questions.”īy this point I’m laughing out loud and I have to go right away and show the book to the rest of my family. Why are you asking me,” replies the rabbit.

Ogawa's other yaoi manga and enjoyed both of them, so this time in Caste Heaven, Ms. ![]() Hey guys! If you love yaoi story with finely developed plots (and plot twists), well formed characters, beautiful artwork and lot of smut scenes, please check out Chise Ogawa's Caste Heaven! LOL But don't worry! I'm not saying the story is a rip-off or anything, don't get me wrong. Honestly, I feel like I am reading a twisted yaoi version of Hana Yori Dango when reading this manga. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wow, I still could not care less about Taryn and her entire storyline. I feel like we never fully get to see them be honest and open with each other, something that I've been waiting for since the first book, so that was a letdown. It's all well and good that they are clearly in love with each other, but they really need to have a conversation about it. ![]() Although we get hints that her exile was all a part of Cardan's plans and that he tried to contact her while she was in the human world, they never really have a discussion about it. ![]() Once again, my biggest complaint is the lack of time Cardan and Jude spend together. Did Cardan really betray Jude, or was it part of a plan? Will he remain king or will Madoc stage a coup? Will Jude ever get back to Faerie? The Queen of Nothing gives us answers to all of these questions and an overall satisfying ending. I've really enjoyed this series from Holly Black and I love that she left us on such a great cliffhanger at the end of The Wicked King, so of course I was excited to read The Queen of Nothing. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Le Guin wrote in contemplating the cultural role of speculative fiction and the task of its writer, “is not to offer any specific hope of betterment but, by offering an imagined but persuasive alternative reality, to dislodge my mind, and so the reader’s mind, from the lazy, timorous habit of thinking that the way we live now is the only way people can live.” In doing so, she argued, imaginative storytelling can intercept the inertia of oppressive institutions, perilous social mores, and other stagnations of progress that contract our scope of the possible. The article, titled “The Power of Cautionary Questions: Neil Gaiman on Ray Bradbury’s ‘Fahrenheit 451,’ Why We Read, and How Speculative Storytelling Enlarges Our Humanity”, starts with this: ![]() Well, I wrote this week’s Monday musings on Australian dystopian fiction as a lead in to my review of Charlotte Wood’s award-winning The natural way of things, but I wasn’t expecting to get the perfect intro for my review! In the post’s comments, author and publisher Anna Blay pointed us to an article by Maria Popova in an online digest called Brain Pickings. ![]() ![]() ![]() As violence in Whitechapel rises, Corravan strikes a deal with McCabe to get Colin out of harm’s way. ![]() Accused by the Home Office of willfully disregarding the obvious conclusion, and berated by his Irish friends for bowing to prejudice, Corravan doggedly pursues the truth, knowing that if the Princess Alice disaster is pinned on the IRB, hopes for Home Rule could be dashed forever.Ĭorrovan’s dilemma is compounded by Colin, the youngest Doyle, who has joined James McCabe’s Irish gang. It is the worst maritime disaster London has ever seen, and early clues point to sabotage by the Irish Republican Brotherhood, who believe violence is the path to restoring Irish Home Rule.įor Scotland Yard Inspector Michael Corravan, born in Ireland and adopted by the Irish Doyle family, the case presents a challenge. The Princess Alice shears apart, throwing all 600 passengers into the river only 130 survive. ![]() One night, as the pleasure boat the Princess Alice makes her daily trip up the Thames, she collides with the Bywell Castle, a huge iron-hulled collier. Harris and Anne Perry, a fatal disaster on the Thames and a roiling political conflict set the stage for Karen Odden’s second Inspector Corravan historical mystery. ![]() ![]() Wonderfully written, and full of dark magic and danger, it was a story I couldn't wait to escape into. "I couldn't get enough of Kingdom of Souls. ![]() ![]() Set in a richly imagined world inspired by whispered tales of voodoo and folk magic, the Kingdom of Souls trilogy has been optioned for film by Michael B. The Demon King wants Arrah, and if she and Rudjek can't unravel his schemes, he will destroy everything, and everyone, standing in his way. While Arrah returns to the tribal lands to search for survivors of the demons' attack, her beloved Rudjek hunts down the remnants of the demon army-and uncovers a plot that would destroy what's left of their world. ![]() Now the last surviving witchdoctor, she's been left to pick up the shattered pieces of a family that betrayed her, a kingdom plunged into chaos, and a love that can never be. ![]() After so many years yearning for the gift of magic, Arrah has the one thing she's always wanted-but it came at too steep a price. Brimming with dark magic, high stakes, and serpentine twists, the second book in Rena Barron's thrilling YA fantasy saga is perfect for fans of Laini Taylor, Sabaa Tahir, and Tomi Adeyemi. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I suppose one day I may get a kitten and it will need litter box fodder. And I don't want to toss it in the fire just because I am inherently opposed to burning books. I don't want to give it away because I can't bear the thought of being responsible for someone else reading such crap. There have been a handful of books in my life that come into my possession and leave me wondering "What the hell am I going to DO with this?" I don't want to leave it on my shelf, because it's not worthy of taking up precious space. ![]() Anyone who knows me even remotely should be able to guess I would hate it. Someone gave me this book, and I still don't know why. No shocker that she is now divorced from him. And her constant self derision, making herself out to be a "crazy pregnant woman" as she wrote about her husband's rude treatment of her, was just pitiful. I know she is trying to be funny, but to anyone capable of complex thought, she's just a dull hack. McCarthy shows herself to be unintelligent and unenlightened as she spreads fear, panic, and gross misinformation to any pregnant woman who might be unlucky enough to read this book. Another book I wish I could give less than one star. ![]() ![]() ![]() Its true focus is Georgia’s romance, past and possibly present, with Dakota’s father James, a handsome, charming, successful black architect who has reappeared on the scene after a 12-year absence.
