![]() ![]() ![]() Widely admired for her positive, realistic portraits of African-American family life and insightful studies of African-American history and culture, she writes in response to what she once describe in a Publishers Weekly article as "a growing demand from Black parents who are looking for books that provide an authentic portrait of the Black experience written with an understanding that Blackness is more than a mere skin color."Ī former kindergarten teacher, Mildred Pitts Walter truly enjoys the company of children and relishes the chance to hear what young people have on their minds during her frequent school and library appearances. ![]() Mildred Pitts Walter is one of those rare authors who have mastered both fiction and nonfiction, and who can write as effectively for the picture-book audience as for young adults. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There was a time when this bone shard magic protected the Empire and its residents from a powerful people, and it’s said that they may return one day. Even if they are one of the 96% who survive this procedure, they may still die prematurely: once a bone shard with commands engraved on it is inserted into a construct, it feeds off the life force of the one it was taken from. The Emperor’s network of constructs is made possible by Tithing Festivals, during which each eight-year-old child is required to “donate” a bone shard to the Empire. He creates beings known as constructs, which are sewn together from an assortment of animal parts and animated by bone shard magic powered by his subjects. These vary in complexity ranging from those ordered to follow straightforward commands to complicated structures that regulate different aspects of the Empire and report to the Emperor, allowing him to spend more time mastering the bone shard magic, working on mysterious projects, and monitoring the contest between his two potential heirs. The Bone Shard Daughter is the first book in Andrea Stewart’s Asian-inspired debut epic fantasy trilogy, The Drowning Empire, set in an archipelago ruled by a mad-scientist-like Emperor. ![]() As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is thought provoking and deals with death and how we live our lives. This book was different to what I was expecting but I still really enjoyed it. So I was really looking forward to reading it and I really did enjoy this book. So this book has a cat in it so I knew I had to read it! I love books that have cats in them especially if they show the relationship between the cat and their owner. Fans of The Guest Cat and The Travelling Cat Chronicles will also surely love If Cats Disappeared from the World. This beautiful tale is translated from the Japanese by Eric Selland, who also translated The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide. ![]() Genki Kawamura's If Cats Disappeared from the World is a story of loss and reconciliation, of one man’s journey to discover what really matters in modern life. Because how do you decide what makes life worth living? How do you separate out what you can do without from what you hold dear? In dealing with the Devil our narrator will take himself – and his beloved cat – to the brink. But before he can set about tackling his bucket list, the Devil appears with a special offer: in exchange for making one thing in the world disappear, he can have one extra day of life. ![]() Estranged from his family, living alone with only his cat Cabbage for company, he was unprepared for the doctor’s diagnosis that he has only months to live. A beautifully moving tale of loss and reaching out to the ones we love, of one man’s journey to discover what really matters in modern life. ![]() ![]() ![]() * The trade-off for a complete lack of online resources was the existence of actual brick-and-mortar bookstores. Of course the word “bad” in this context is entirely subjective, but from my perspective, I kissed a lot of frogs while encountering only the occasional prince. That means I read a lot of bad books that I didn’t care for at all (Coulter and the at-the-time seemingly universally beloved Woodiwiss), and a few bad books that I did kind of like (I mean, Brenda Joyce was not the pinnacle of literature, but I made it through her entire oeuvre speedily – her books were entertaining and HOT). Circa 1992 I read Outlander, and though it’s still a matter of debate in some circles as to whether that book or series qualify as “romance”, I was hooked.Īlas, I was also, in that era, internet-less and very much at sea*. I’d read romances in my teens, here and there, though I was mostly on an extended horror binge through those years. I want to say I began reading romance around 1992. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() that turn out to be fairy tale romances, forbidden courtships, scandalous secret marriages, elopements resulting in family disowning of the bride, reform politicians who double as impassioned romantic heroes, obsessive jealousy, sexual dominance, beautiful, fickle, expensive young brides driving their husbands to ruin, medieval castles, mistresses, whores, illigitimate children raised with legitimate heirs, European tours, peers renouncing their titles for the sake of Liberte, Egalite, fraternite, affairs with French dukes, a love affair with George III, seperation, divorce, rehabilitation to near sainthood, a duchess who marries her children's tutor, Lords killed for treason and rebellion. First and foremost and easiest for both the scandalmongers among us (and really, if we're honest, which one of us isn't, at least a little? :)), all these words, adjectives and happenings are involved in this book, probably many times over: an illegitimate line of the bastard children of kings, arranged marriages. There are so many ways to sell/reasons for me to push this book, it absolutely boggles the mind: ![]() ![]() Thoughtful and unassuming, Michael is a receptive ear for the tale Marie has to tell, even if both a tenacious prosecutor and the townsfolk resent him for it. Instead, Marie offers to tell her story to the sheriff’s son, Michael Jensen, an aspiring reporter. But Marie is unwilling to talk to investigators. ![]() ![]() They arrest her and charge her as an accomplice, certain that she couldn’t have carried out the murders on her own. ![]() When the Carlson family is murdered in the small Minnesota town of Black Deer Falls, local police find a teenage girl, Marie Catherine Hale, in the Carlson home, drenched in their blood. The police are baffled by the absence of blood at the scenes, as well as the lack of any signs of struggle. Their crimes are dubbed the Bloodless Murders, because the victims are all found exsanguinated. It’s 1958, and a serial killer is targeting the Midwest. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unger’s mum packs his bags with electric fans – what, were they like currency back in the 1920s? Why does he need plural fans? – while his dad gives him an asbestos pocketbook full of cash. The University produces “priests” of wealth who produce more for their “god”.Īlso that first page is just weird. John Unger is from Hades (Mississippi) just so at the end they can, literally, go back to Hades, to a less luxurious life, because the middle class is so ghastly/hellish, what! He attends the prestigious St Midas’s University – wealth is a religion in America and their patron saint is Midas, a name synonymous with gold. The names of the places are very unsubtle. ![]() The Diamond as Big as the Ritz is more of the same but is written in a more fantastical, less artistic style. ![]() Also, not being of that world, he was quite critical of it too and The Great Gatsby is a damning portrayal of the rich’s behaviour. From his greatest creation, Jay Gatsby, to this, his most famous short story, Fitzgerald absolutely adores writing about the glamorous lives they led. Scott Fitzgerald’s favourite subject was the rich. John Unger goes to a posh university where he meets a posh chap who takes him to his family’s posh residence – a house built on a diamond as big as a mountain! But now that John knows their family’s secret… he can never leave!į. ![]() ![]() The book has received many reviews and, the year after its initial publication, it won both the 1983 National Book Award for Nonfiction, in Science (Hardcover), and the 1983 Science Writing Award. Considered very popular for a science book, the biography sold tens of thousands of copies of both paperback and hardcover versions in its first year. Pais later released a sequel to the book in 1994 titled Einstein Lived Here and, after his death in 2000, the University Press released a posthumous reprint of the biography in 2005, with a new foreword by Roger Penrose. Originally published in English in the United States and the United Kingdom, the book has translations in over a dozen languages. ![]() Pais, renowned for his work in theoretical particle physics, was a friend of Einstein's at the Institute for Advanced Study in his early career. ![]() This was not the first popular biography of Einstein, but it was the first to focus on his scientific research as opposed to his life as a popular figure. First published in 1982 by Oxford University Press, the book is one of the most acclaimed biographies of the scientist. Subtle is the Lord: The Science and the Life of Albert Einstein is a biography of Albert Einstein written by Abraham Pais.
