5/30/2023 0 Comments Hades by George O'ConnorBut I needn't have worried - there's no spin! I mean, that's not to say there's no interpretation, or picking and choosing which aspects of which tales to highlight, because of course there is. I mean, Kendare Blake's Antigoddess is fabulous, but it's hardly a traditional retelling same: Percy Jackson same: everything else out there. Though I know it's a retelling of Greek myths, I wasn't sure what kind of retelling it'd be so though I'm very familiar with Greek mythology, that's not to say that I'd be familiar with O'Connor's spin. Now, the reason for this (beyond said amazeballs), I'd imagine, is that I expressed a little trepidation at jumping into the series at book 7. And yes, I still said amazeballs in 2015. I mentioned in a book haul not long ago that I was asked to be part of the blog tour for the next installment in George O'Connor's Olympians series, Ares, and that when I said yes (yay, mythology!), the fine folks at FirstSecond not only sent me that book, but the entire boxed set - further cementing that they are amazeballs. This review is for ALL of the Olympians books, essentially. This is from my blog, and may not make total sense in the context of Goodreads, but it's late and I don't want to type a new review. 5/30/2023 0 Comments Sweep of Stars by Maurice BroaddusBut the old powers could not allow them to thrive and have now set in motion new plots to destroy all that they've built. With the wisdom of their ancestors, the leadership of their elders, the power and vision of their scientists and warriors they charted a course to a better future. Freeing themselves from the endless wars and oppression of their home planet in order to shape their own futures and create a far-reaching coalition of city-states that stretched from Earth and Mars to Titan. The Muungano empire strived and struggled to form a utopia when they split away from old earth.

MartinThen we rescued those nearly forgotten from the kennels of history, including Wendy and Lucy, Sounder, and Megan Leavey. And some dog movies ain’t so classic, but people love ’em anyways, so we’re including those, and all the other good boys and girls of canine cinema for our guide to the 80 Best Dog Movies, ranked by Tomatometer!įirst, we’ve retrieved all the golden films of yesteryear, like Old Yeller, Lassie, and The Incredible Journey. And some of those movies where the dog lives happily after ever, with a nice house and a bowl of kibble and a robust 401k, are also classics. Seriously, how many times have we gone into a dog movie hoping we didn’t just get suckered into another one where the dog dies in the end? But some of those movies make up the classics.

It is the second novel in The Strain Trilogy, and was preceded by The Strain and followed by The Night Eternal. The Fall is a 2010 vampire horror novel by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan. Delighted with that I started looking out for the elegant grey spines whenever I pop in to borrow books and my second Persephone, The Victorian Chaise-Longue did not disappoint. Much later, after reading glowing reviews of a number of Persephone publications I picked up a copy of The Shuttle from the library. I think it’s a bit like a boutique, in the way that lovely gems of stories seem to be picked and gathered together so that you can try something a bit different but still be confident that the time you spend reading them won’t be wasted.Īlthough I used to work near to the Lambs Conduit Persephone shop, I only ever once wandered in by chance and at the time just saw lots of grey books (albeit very pretty ones) by authors I’d never heard of, and wandered out again. I think that I’m quickly becoming a devotee of Persephone Books. 5/30/2023 0 Comments Three guineas sparknotesSontag investigates the unified “we” audience of a particular photograph and how that audience’s unification is altered based on their position relative to the conflict in question. Sontag holds that “no ‘we’ should be taken for granted when the subject is looking at other people’s pain” (8). Woolf holds that the “we” uniting her and her male correspondent unites them in hatred against war and responding to photos depicting that hatred. Sontag takes up Woolf’s investigation in a different way. She ultimately decides that her experience with the photographs is similar to her male counterpart’s experience they are both profoundly repulsed by war. She acknowledges that the “photographs of the victims of war are themselves a species of rhetoric” (8). Woolf proceeds to examine her own thinking there by comparing her experience to a male counterpart’s in looking at photographs of war. Men (most men) like war, since for men there is ‘some glory, some necessity, some satisfaction in fighting’ that women (most women) do not feel or enjoy” (6). She opens with an interesting look at Virginia Woolf’s Three Guineas, in which Woolf reflects on the origins of war. This chapter is essentially an analysis on “regarding – at a distance, through the medium of photography- other people’s pain” (13). 5/30/2023 0 Comments Burn bright briggsNow Charles and Anna must use their skills-his as enforcer, hers as peacemaker-to track down the attackers, reopening a painful chapter in the past that springs from the darkest magic of the witchborn.

With their Alpha out of the country, Charles and Anna are on call when an SOS comes in from the fae mate of one such wildling.

The werewolves too damaged to live safely among their own kind. Now mated werewolves Charles Cornick and Anna Latham face a threat like no other-one that lurks too close to home. Hardcover 27. The journey is largely emotional, drilling deep into characters who have heretofore dodged the spotlight. In her bestselling Alpha and Omega series, Patricia Briggs "spins tales of werewolves, coyote shifters, and magic and, my, does she do it well" (USA Today Online). Burn Bright, by contrast, turns inward, leading us deep into forbidden territory, where the most secretive and unstable of magical beings reside. 5/30/2023 0 Comments Armistead maupin new bookOutside of references to Uber, cryptocurrency and the purging of the city's revolutionary queer history, the characters don't bemoan that San Francisco has lost its soul. Yet the series spends little time exploring the changes to San Francisco. Olympia Dukakis, now 87, plays Barbary Lane matriarch Anna Madrigal who attends her 90th birthday party in the first episode.

One of the best lines in Armistead Maupin's original Tales of the City book comes when naive San Francisco newcomer Mary Ann Singleton wonders if she should ditch her new life to go home to Cleveland. 5/29/2023 0 Comments Dear America by Thomas SgovioEven today, those who research the fate of such people often discover that the records are missing, or the place-names have changed, or the files have been moved. Rumours of American or British or other foreign prisoners in the Soviet gulag have been around for as long as the gulag itself, but they have always been hard to substantiate. And that, unfortunately, is the fate of many such stories. Later, in Moscow, I tried to find a mention of the ‘English colony’, or something like it, in the Russian archives, but I could not. Supposedly, some of the locals had once heard the prisoners singing English songs. Allegedly, a railwayman had once found the remnants of a British uniform on the site of the former barracks there, but no one was quite sure what had happened to it. A remote spot - it was said to be several hours from the nearest town, but trains were infrequent and roads non-existent - the ‘English colony’ was the site of a former Soviet camp: a small piece of the gulag where the prisoners had been British. Once, while travelling in an odd part of Siberia, I was told of a place called ‘the English colony’. |
