Gorgeously haunting and wholly original a novel that rewards patience." The line between the real and the imagined is forever blurry, and the result of all that ambiguity is both moving and unsettling. "Laced through with sharp insights―not just on marriage and grief, but also on the pull of travel and the dynamics of horror movies―the layers of fit together so seamlessly they're almost Escher-esque. Laura van den Berg's The Third Hotel is a haunting and innovative novel, easily one of my favorite books of the year.

Then a surprise email from an old Internet friend changes everything. Brian/Cinder is forced to get engaged to his co-star, but he is in love with Ella and he’s afraid she won’t want him when she finds out. Brian isn’t thrilled with the arrangement – or his fake fiancée – but decides he’ll suffer through it if it means he’ll get an Oscar nomination. In order to douse the flames on Brian’s bad-boy reputation, his management stages a fake engagement for him to his co-star Kaylee. There’s major buzz around his performance in his upcoming film The Druid Prince, but his management team says he won’t make the transition from teen heartthrob to serious A-list actor unless he can prove he’s left his wild days behind and become a mature adult. Hollywood sensation Brian Oliver has a reputation for being trouble. The only way she can think of to start healing is by reconnecting with the one person left in the world who’s ever meant anything to her-her anonymous Internet best friend, Cinder. If Ella wants to escape her father’s home, and her awful new stepfamily, she must convince her doctors that she’s capable, both physically and emotionally, of living on her own. After a very difficult recovery, she’s been uprooted across the country and forced into the custody of a father that abandoned her when she was a young child. It’s been almost a year since 18-year-old Ella Rodriguez was in a car accident that left her crippled, scarred, and without a mother. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. for YA libraries with bright students who have an interest in King Arthur or this period."-Dorothy Solomon, Voice of Youth Advocates So long as mankind does not vanquish the possibility of that occurrence, the once and future king will always be with us."- Los Angeles Times The power of Arthurus Rex lies in humanity's need to believe in the possibility of such a figure's returning to lead the race into a redemptive golden era. Granted, this may be a latter day addition to the legend, in effect claiming 'we've always been like this. the true importance of Arthur (and Camelot) does not reside in a possible fifth-century monarch. Ashe provides a cornucopia of facts about the possibilities or likelihood of the real King Arthur, including a tantalizing suggestion the origins of the legend may date back to the beginnings of Stonehenge some 4,000 years ago. He makes a good case for his man, and his account of tracking the fellow down is as intriguing as a detective story."- The Atlantic "Ashe is not the first historian to conclude that a real British ruler lurks behind the fantastic extravagances of Arthurian legend, but he is the first to locate a plausible and historically recorded candidate for the honor.

When you look at the Viz Media preview, what will probably hit you is how much you love the characters from Fangirl, and maybe how much you relate to any one of them, from the introverted and awkward Cath, to the independent-seeking Wren, to the outgoing Levi. But maybe that’s why it’s good to treat yourself every once in a while to something like buying yourself a good read, and in this case, in manga form. We’re all struggling, mentally, emotionally, physically, financially. In these tough times, it’s hard to justify doing such a thing. It’s been seven years since Rainbow Rowell’s Fangirlfirst hit bookstores, so one may wonder, why should you get the manga when you’ve already read the book? Especially when it means you’d have to spend more money on a story you already know? 1: THE MANGA, and we can think of many reasons of why we’re here for it! Viz Media just released the first 20 pages of FANGIRL, VOL. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Rumaan alamYou know what kind of woman makes sure to buy the pebbly mud-colored mustard on her beach vacation. You can tell even at the beginning, before the horror begins to emerge, because Alam describes all of these luxuries with a loving precision that becomes its own form of judgment. Because Leave the World Behind does not think that the pleasures it is cataloging are neutral pleasures that can be enjoyed and then abandoned without thought. The trance only lasts for moments, though. At times, reading Leave the World Behind can put you in something approaching the same state of blank tranquility you find scrolling through a lifestyle influencer’s Instagram feed. All-white linens in the bathroom and the laundry soap hidden in a tasteful wooden box. Pasta tossed with herbs and garlic and that salted European butter that comes in a cylinder. Marble countertops and a copper pot-filler at the stove. This book is nearly encyclopedic in its accounting of the pleasures of modern bourgeois American life. The big thing in Rumaan Alam’s Leave the World Behind, the Vox Book Club’s June pick, is all of the, well, things. 5/23/2023 0 Comments Trial by fire by jo davisEbook jo davis trial by fire the firefighters of station five.
