He is the author of many bestselling books, including the novels Forever and Snow. "A grand, dark, swashbuckling, yet essentially simple tale about a man's lifelong journey from revenge to mercy, hate to love."- Jodi Daynard, Boston Globe Pete Hamill has brought New York City to life for millions of readers. Cormac O'Connor plays a role in a slave revolt, the American Revolution, and the great fire of 1835.O'Connor thinks, 'No many people know anything about their own past and New Yorkers are the most amnesiac of all." Forever should change that."- Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today "New York grows from a village-with wolves stalking its forests - in a town and eventually a city. At the same time it is a serious look at what makes a city more than just bricks and mortar."- Tom Walker, Denver Post ![]() ![]() ![]() "A swashbuckling, ribald tale told with flair and, sometimes, unbridled emotion. Forever is old-fashioned storytelling at a gallop."- Washington Post Book World ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Tite kubo burn the witch 1![]() ![]() That said, there were times I found myself wishing Kubo had taken a slightly more leisurely pace, now that he can. Seeing his confirmation of this in a brief note at the end of this volume about how happy he is to be able to draw manga at his own pace has me very excited to see what he can do with Burn the Witch Because, let's face it, it was clear Kubo was getting burnt out by the end of Bleach. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I certainly wasn't prepared for it to be more Bleach! Seriously, when I got to the big reveal at the end of the first chapter, as to what exactly "WB" stands for, I was absolutely delighted by what could come of this. But in a way, it's fitting, because I went into this series blind, just curious to see what Tite Kubo was up to, post- Bleach. First, the version I got came with a plain plaid slipcase, which.isn't the most engrossing choice. The subtitle for this volume, "Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover," is perfect for a variety of reasons. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Wicked lovely by melissa marr![]() The world that she crafted with cruel faeries, all-too-powerful royalty, and faerie rules was fascinating and sucked me in quickly.

However, after a bit of thought, I have to admit that my favourite part is close to the beginning. In a book bursting at the seams with tension and drama it is hard to pick out one in particular. Dr Brown is a spectacular writer, describing the environments he finds himself in with a turn of phrase so potent that you practically taste his experiences: the dust, the blood, the panic. ![]() ![]() This book is sometimes bleak, sometimes funny heartwarming, heartbreaking beautifully written tear-your-heart-out sad and punch-the-sky triumphant by turns. Band-Aid for a Broken Leg is the starkly unsentimental tale of Dr Damien Brown, who ventured out into Africa with MSF - Doctors Without Borders, if you’re not familiar with the acronym - first in Angola, then Mozambique and the Sudan. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Steve mccurry looking east![]() Provocative and moving, McCurry's photographs not only shed light on the impact of changing social climates throughout the world, but also capture the joy, pain and inherent sense of humanity that emanates from each photograph. McCurry witnessed and documented the heightened political tensions and adverse social conditions in Afghanistan, thus bringing awareness of the situation to the public arena. In the early 1980s, Steve McCurry disguised himself in native attire in order to gain entry into Afghanistan just before the Russian invasion. I try to convey what it is like to be that person-a person caught in a broader landscape that I guess you would call the human condition" (National Geographic, 2006).

First of all, Edie was a fantastic narrator – she is incredibly interesting and really perceptive, which allows for the kind of narration style I really enjoy, one that is hyper focused on the character, but also really detailed in how they perceive their surroundings. This worked for me on practically all fronts and it was the perfect “disaster woman” book for me. I do not think I’ve mentioned this previously, BUT Luster is probably my favorite book I read so far this year. Edie is the only black woman young Akila may know. ![]() She becomes hesitant friend to his wife and a de facto role model to his adopted daughter. In this world of contemporary sexual manners and racial politics, Edie finds herself unemployed and living with Eric. She meets Eric, a digital archivist with a family in New Jersey, including an autopsist wife who has agreed to an open marriage. ![]() Goodreads blurb: Luster sees a young black woman figuring her way into life as an artist and into love in this darkly comic novel. ![]() |
