![]() ![]() I really enjoyed Matty's character, and was happy to read more about him since I liked him so much in Gathering Blue. I think the presumed post-apocalyptic world with disparate communities was intriguing, and I loved the beauty of the ending. Published in 2004, the book seemed to foreshadow Trump's obsession with building a wall. ![]() Village is an example of how communities can benefit from diversity and compassion. Reading the book in 2022, there's an apparent parallel with contemporary issues of immigration and borders. Village thrived on selflessness - everyone welcoming newcomers and caring for one another - and it suffered when Trademaster introduced selfishness into their community. ![]() The story of Village presents a heartwarming, meaningful message. The fantastical aspects of this world are clear early on in Messenger, with Forest actively attacking people and Matty discovering his paranormal ability. It's been a while since I read the first couple books, but I remember being thrown off by the supernaturalism in The Giver, because it wasn't evident at first, and I don't even remember any supernaturalism in Gathering Blue. *** Warning: This review contains spoilers!! *** ![]() ![]() He's hot and deep, and there are layers, people! Layers! Now, the romance doesn't take center stage, but adds spice to this already intense and interesting world. Rory has to decide if making her own choices is worth facing her own consequences. On its surface it may seem like a teenage prestige school romance, but it goes so much deeper. ![]() I loved this book! It has been one of my favorites of 2014 and I couldn't put it down. ![]() Sixteen-year-old Rory Vaughn is no exception and uses the app religiously to ensure her personal happiness … until feelings of wrongness and one boy who doesn't use Lux begin to open her eyes. ![]() It's called Lux and it optimizes decision making for the best results to be happy. Free to Fall by Lauren Miller is an awesome dystopian-esque book that centers on an app that tells you what to do … for everything! From the song to listen to, to the person you should date. ![]() ![]() You can find Tracy on Twitter more often than she really ought to be. ![]() They are – naturally – named after characters from books. She is married to her high school sweetheart, with whom she shares two remarkable children. Tracy devotes time she doesn’t have to cooking, gardening, writing, and seriously pondering the treadmill in her basement. She is represented by the strikingly elegant and classy Bridget Smith of Dunham Lit. ![]() Inexplicably, other uses for that resume have yet to present themselves. Her sf/f writing draws on her experience as a lapsed Catholic, an assistant martial arts instructor, a comic book fangirl (Make Mine Marvel!), a tabletop role-player, and an obsessive hound for obscure mythology. She is a member of the Science Fiction Research Association and other academic organizations, which allows her to write very long things and read them aloud to people who are obliged to behave politely. She has studied at DePauw University, the National University of Ireland (Galway), and DePaul University, where she obtained degrees in English, Creative Writing, and Rhetoric. ![]() Tracy Townsend lives in Bolingbrook, Illinois and teaches English at the Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy. ![]() ![]() ![]() And one thing is clear: real human connection is a medical necessity if we want to stay healthy, emotionally and physically. The solutions are deceptively simple and easily applicable – and the effects are transformative. His search led him to talk to doctors, scientists, parents and community members around the world. ![]() In this ground-breaking book, he traces the roots of the problem, and shows how loneliness lies behind some of our greatest personal and social challenges, from anxiety and depression to addiction and violence. When Obama appointed him Surgeon General of the United States, Dr Vivek Murthy observed the growing health crisis of isolation first-hand. But what effect is it having on us, and how can we treat it – even at a distance? The world seems more connected than ever, and yet loneliness is at epidemic levels. The book we need NOW to avoid a social recession, Murthy’s prescient message is about the importance of human connection, the hidden impact of loneliness on our health, and the social power of community. ![]() ‘The most important book you’ll read this year.’ DANIEL H. ![]() ‘Exactly what the doctor ordered’ ANGELA DUCKWORTH, author of Grit ‘This book is a gift’ SUSAN CAIN, author of Quiet ‘Fascinating, moving and essential reading.’ ATUL GAWANDE, author of Being Mortal ‘A welcome beacon towards meaningful connection’ ARIANNA HUFFINGTON, author of Thrive ‘Together stands with Atul Gawande’s classic, Being Mortal.’ MALCOLM GLADWELL, author of Outliers ![]() ![]() Rachel's made a career out of always a bridesmaid. If she's a spy, she's certainly the cutest one he's ever seen.Īs the week's worth of wedding events march along, Rachel and Camden are learning almost everything there is to know about each other. Florist Shane Connolly, who arranged the coronation service flowers within Westminster Abbey, poses at Chapter House in Westminster Abbey in London on May 4, 2023, ahead of the coronation. But the constant surveillance is also opening his eyes to things about Rachel that he likes. The flowers used at the coronation had a special nod to Charles and Camillas wedding. Convinced she's a corporate spy out to tank his company, Camden's not letting her out of his sight. High-tech entrepreneur Camden Lewis must know: Who is this gorgeous, intelligent, and mysterious woman? Too good to be real. If Rachel can keep the very handsome and slightly too interested best man at bay, that is. That means a paradise of new contacts, which could be a boon to her already booming business. ![]() But years earlier she shared her thoughts on Kates choice of wedding dress on her defunct blog. Her next gig is a destination wedding-livestreamed and sponsored-for an Instagram influencer. The Duchess of Sussex first met the Princess of Wales in 2017 after she began dating Prince Harry.

Not for fans of complacent heroines, soothing plots, or those who don't speak sarcasm." - Anna Banks, author of the New York Times Bestseller Of Triton " Levenseller has created a formidable female character who can take care of herself as she makes some hard decisions. ![]() Definitely for fans of Pirates of the Caribbean, fierce heroines, slow-burning romances, and adventures that can turn sour in the space of a gasp.

Daughter of the Pirate King kidnapped my interest from the first chapter and never let it go! It's a superior debut with a deeply entangled romance, a fearsome heroine not to be trifled with, a clever hero that you seriously want to trifle with, and a plot twist that makes a rollercoaster seem stable. ![]() ![]() ![]() I may not remember everyone's name, but I remember what they were feeling and what I was feeling. The scenes rife with dramatic tension between lovers, or want-to-be lovers the pained restraint of characters at the climax, mixed with devastating feelings of loss and fear - all of that digs into you while pouring through "Disappearing Earth." There's maybe one or two fumbles from August through July, but when Phillips really gets cooking, I'm all in. The maze never got tricky enough for me to give up. I would've liked to have checked in with the "A" story a bit more often, but it's fun to see what she is building to. The inbetween lost me a couple of times, with too-lengthy departures from the overarching storyline, and, honestly, a lot of difficult Russian names to keep track of. ![]() It's a different sort of resolution, that leaves a lot to the imagination, but it didn't take anything away from the full book's experience for me. The two young girls being taken, and the ending's reveal are crafted expertly and had me on the edge of my seat. Julia Phillips does do a solid job opening and closing the book. The novel is broken down into a series of monthly vignettes, some of which are excellent, some forgettable. It's tough to review this book as a whole. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Living in Liverpool definitely influenced my love of retro design and fashion, like being raised on the Beatles,” she said. However, it was Baby Fever (2021), her ‘70s prom night pro-choice body horror film co-written with Alex Hartwig, which put Cumming on the map.Ĭumming was influenced in her early childhood by the retro vibe of the ‘70s. Her second film, Camp Calypso (2019), was a summer camp creative featurette. Her first film, Fanatico (2018), was in the neo-giallo genre and was a joint project with Sam Schrader, another PSU alumni. Cumming graduated from Portland State’s film school in 2020. Cumming is reclaiming the ‘70s horror genre in the name of women.Ĭumming is a writer, director and co-founder of Monstrous Femme Films -taking ‘70s campy horror films and giving them a feminist perspective with a sociopolitical message. ![]() This is not for the faint of heart, but for Cumming it comes easy because horror is her first love. Satirizing stereotypes of people of color, LGBTQ+ people and women is what makes her films both shocking in general and popular among her fan base. Writing horror film scripts from a feminist perspective with plenty of blood and carnage is not something anyone can do, but Hannah May Cumming is doing it in ‘70s retro style. ![]() ![]() He had doubts about her clairvoyance, but there was no doubt how much he desired her. Detective Dane Hollister of the Orlando police department had never met anyone like Marlie. Then one night it returned with a vengeance, and she desperately needed to find someone to make it stop.
