Loose Ends by Caroline Taylor5/24/2023 She was very, very close to the charities we were raising funds for, so doing something for them in her name was the perfect way to say goodbye."Īnna also recalled the time of Caroline’s death was during Covid-19, meaning friends weren’t able to get together after her funeral. The elephant in the room became the way her life ended. She continued: “We wanted to hold an event that celebrated the fact that it is OK to be open and talk about mental health.
Vixen by jillian larkin5/24/2023 Little did she know, her engagement is nothing more than a business deal, not the fairy-tale love story she had imagined it to be. Gloria’s wealthy, high-society family arranges for her to be married to well-respected Sebastian Grey for the sake of maintaining their family’s reputation. Gloria Carmody, engaged to be married before the start of her senior year in high school, is expected to follow a certain lifestyle. Vixen has not been released into the public yet however, it comes out soon on December 14. Instead, it speaks of a time that will not soon be forgotten: the Roaring Twenties with its flappers, speakeasies, and gangsters. Vixen, by Jillian Larkin, does not follow this overused mystical formula. But for faithful believers in the book industry, persistence paid off. These days, it is hard to find a book in the teen section of a bookstore that is not about vampires, werewolves, or other immortal creatures. Novel the round house5/24/2023 It is often lauded as one of the best of Erdrich's extensive body of literature. As the story progresses, Joe develops unique relationships with different community members as they handle life after the attack on his mother.įollowing its publication, The Round House received numerous accolades. Though the novel traces Joe's journey for revenge, it also underscores issues that are particularly pertinent for Native Americans living in the United States today-namely, government incompetence, indigenous erasure, and violence against women. After Joe's mother is brutally attacked and assaulted near a round house, Joe seeks to avenge his mother's assailant. Like many of Erdich's other novels, The Round House centers around a North Dakota Ojibwe community. These three novels have been collectively termed the "justice trilogy." The events in The Round House take place in 1988 and are told in flashback by narrator and protagonist Joe Coutts. Erdich continued to explore these themes in her 2016 novel, LaRose. It is sometimes considered a thematic sequel to her 2008 novel, The Plague of the Doves, due to their shared focus on the concepts of justice and revenge. The Round Houseis author Louise Erdrich's fourteenth novel, and it was published in 2012. Saga, Volume 6 by Brian K. Vaughan5/24/2023 Vaughan and Fiona Staples have become so well-known for. No one except Hazel’s grandmother knows her secret-but this changes, and when it does, we’re propelled into another intense and dramatic sequence of the type Brian K. Yes, after all these attempts to keep Hazel out of Landfall’s hands, she ironically ends up right under their noses. She and her grandmother, along with one of the women who were trying to kidnap them, are in a detention centre on Landfall. Now old enough to have some agency over her life, Hazel is starting to grasp the politics of her situation. Without a doubt, Hazel’s larger role as a protagonist is this volume’s most notable feature. Meanwhile, Prince Robot is enjoying being “off the grid” and away from the court, raising his son in peace-until pretty much everyone crashes his party. Volume 6 jumps ahead four years, so Hazel is in kindergarten, and Alana and Marko are kind-of together again, searching for their daughter. As long as they keep releasing one of these volumes every year, I’m golden. For the third year in a row I bought Saga for my friend for a Christmas gift. Christine riccio5/24/2023 If you follow Ricco’s channel, then you’ll know she kept the details of her novel close to her heart until she felt comfortable enough to reveal the exciting secrets of her world building. Surely, new friends, maybe some boys and new experiences will fix everything … right? Needing a second chance at life and happiness, Shane enlists for a semester abroad in London. Riccio’s first novel is led by protagonist Shane Primaveri, a pre-med student who realizes that the majority of her college experience is more work than play. Will there be a fan bias when searching through online reviews? Do years of reading, reviewing and discussing books count as a sort of apprenticeship? What Is “Again, But Better” About? Riccio’s impressive following consists of over 400,000 subscribers who have tuned in to her eccentric book reviews and trusted her opinion regarding upcoming releases, and so there is concern whether her online personality will be rated or the overall content of her novel. Despite this, there is some anxiety about whether “Again, But Better” will live up to the hype it’s generating.

Come Over to My House by Theo LeSieg5/24/2023 Ohh what fun I had with that book, I would carry it around with me for hours, and it was by far one of my most cherished possessions. I remember having conversations with the characters, and at times they were my play mates. Because of the diversity of architecture styles, I was taken around the world. The characters were thoughts forms that had a type of autonomy, engineered by a boy who had not yet been taught how not to believe. I now understand that I was mentally creating an environment in the astral world that I would visit during out of body projections, and my night time dream escapades. I could taste the salt air when I stood by the house by the sea, and I could smell the pine of the log cabin in the woods. I would look at the pictures with such intensity, that I was literally inside the scene. This one book started my love for reading, and all the intellectual adventures I would later embark on in life. It was only over some period that I finally read every word, and that was a major turning point in my life. I did not read the book the 1st or 2nd, or 3rd time I tried. I was 3 at the time and I was just learning to read. I remember sitting under the sycamore tree just staring at the pictures. Kudos to you Theo LeSieg, long may your work continue to influence!!! To See the Sun by Kelly Jensen5/24/2023 They would tan in the sun after weeks spent at resorts in Jamaica or Mexico, returning to place their fading arms next to mine to compare our color. In my teenaged years, I experienced the curiously affectionate friendships of girls who didn’t really understand me. It wasn’t until a trip to Puerto Rico, where she came face-to-face with all kinds of people who looked like her, that she learned not to simply accept her looks, but to embrace the cultural history and richness she wears every single day. As a biracial girl growing up in a community with beautiful (white) girls, she felt she stood out. Her essay, “Pretty Enough,” conveys a sharp sense of humor but not to the detriment of the point she makes in the piece. One of the reasons I reached out to Alida Nugent about contributing to Here We Are: Feminism For The Real World was my quick love for the way she infuses humor into her writing (which, spoiler, means you need to pick up her books if you haven’t yet!–and yes, they’re teen appropriate). “I’ve become the kind of person I never used to like at parties”: Alida Nugent on Feminism Be sure to visit our post from day one to enter to win a Feminist t-shirt!

Political order and decay5/24/2023 Bring on volume two." Volume two is finally here, completing the most important work of political thought in at least a generation. "The second volume of the bestselling landmark work on the history of the modern state Writing in The Wall Street Journal, David Gress called Francis Fukuyama's Origins of Political Order "magisterial in its learning and admirably immodest in its ambition."

And in The Washington Post, Gerard DeGrott exclaimed "this is a book that will be remembered. Includes bibliographical references (pages 601-631) and index.
