5/11/2023 0 Comments The wandering earth ebook![]() ![]() ![]() For any of you who followed my recommendation, I should tell you now that the story and the movie only share the same setting. The same thing is present in the Wandering Earth stories.Ī while back I had recommended the Chinese film, The Wandering Earth. However, once I learned a couple of things about the PRC I could spot the places where you could see Liu was clearly towing the Party line. That book began with an unflinching look at the fanaticism and brutality of the Cultural Revolution. When I read his first novel, I was honestly rather surprised by what he was able to get away with in Communist China. I found this collection as intriguing as the Three Body for similar reasons. Which incidentally was the last time the Hugos reflected the voice of the entire fandom instead just 300-pound, purple-haired weirdos. ![]() The Wandering Earth is an anthology of novellas by Cixin Liu, the (2015) Hugo Award-winning author of the Three-Body Problem. ![]() ![]() We will see Glokta (significantly), Shivers, Black Calder, Dogman, Gorst, Bayaz, Vitari and Shenkt (briefly), Isern-i-Phail, Terez (including a short POV), Finree, Tunny, Sergeant (now Colonel) Forest, Brint, Sulfur. I has 7 POV characters: Savine dan Glokta (daughter of Jezal/Glokta and Ardee), Prince Orso (son of Jezal and Terez), Leo dan Brock (son of Halleck and Finree), Rikke (daughter of the Dogman), Vick dan Teufel (daughter of Sepp dan Teufel), Gunnar Broad, and Jonas Clover. ![]() There's a lot less magic in this trilogy than the First Law. But the magic is clearly dropping back in importance. The war between Bayaz and Khalul is sort of the constant undercurrent of this world. ![]() Mostly takes place in the Union and the North, and so picks up the threads of the first trilogy a little more directly than the standalone books did, as the world (or parts of it, at any rate) moves rapidly forward into the turmoil of early industrialisation. Starts in year 604, 14 years after Red Country or 28 years after the Last Argument of Kings. ![]() The title comes from William Hazlitt's quote “Love turns, with a little indulgence, to indifference or disgust hatred alone is immortal.” The book will be the first of a trilogy, followed by The Trouble with Peace and The Beautiful Machine that will be published on September 20. With the old thread surpassing the 20 pages and A Little Hatred coming out this September 19, it's time for a new one! ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Furiously happy book review![]() Furiously Happy is about depression and mental illness, but deep down it's about joy-and who doesn't want a bit more of that?Įarlier this year, I was one of the lucky people Jenny sent an Advance Reading Copy of her newest book to. Let's Pretend This Never Happened ostensibly was about embracing your own weirdness, but deep down it was about family. There are so many people out there struggling with depression and mental illness, either themselves or someone in their family-and in Furiously Happy they will find a member of their tribe offering up an uplifting message (via a taxidermied roadkill raccoon). Furiously Happy appeals to Jenny's core fan base but also transcends it. ![]() Jenny’s readings are standing room only, with fans lining up to have Jenny sign their bottles of Xanax or Prozac as often as they are to have her sign their books. And that's what Furiously Happy is all about." ![]() ![]() ![]() "I've often thought that people with severe depression have developed such a well for experiencing extreme emotion that they might be able to experience extreme joy in a way that ‘normal people' also might never understand. In Furiously Happy, a humor memoir tinged with just enough tragedy and pathos to make it worthwhile, Jenny Lawson examines her own experience with severe depression and a host of other conditions, and explains how it has led her to live life to the fullest: ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Belladonna by Adalyn Grace![]() I didn’t have plans to read this book until I saw a review by Elliot Brooks on her YouTube channel that totally changed my mind. Though he’s made her life a living hell, Death shows Signa that their growing connection may be more powerful-and more irresistible-than she ever dared imagine. However, Signa’s best chance of uncovering the murderer is an alliance with Death himself, a fascinating, dangerous shadow who has never been far from her side. But when their mother’s restless spirit appears claiming she was poisoned, Signa realizes that the family she depends on could be in grave danger and enlists the help of a surly stable boy to hunt down the killer. Its patriarch mourns his late wife through wild parties, while his son grapples for control of the family’s waning reputation and his daughter suffers from a mysterious illness. Her remaining relatives are the elusive Hawthornes, an eccentric family living at Thorn Grove, an estate both glittering and gloomy. ![]() Orphaned as a baby, nineteen-year-old Signa has been raised by a string of guardians, each more interested in her wealth than her well-being-and each has met an untimely end. ![]() New York Times bestselling author Adalyn Grace brings to life a highly romantic, Gothic-infused world of wealth, desire, and betrayal. ![]() Publisher: Little, Brown Books for Young Readers ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Mom heart moments sally clarkson![]() ![]() ![]() You can find her on her blog at Her popular podcast, At Home with Sally Clarkson and Friends, with over a million downloads, can be found on iTunesĪnd Stitcher.

And then she startled the hell out of him.Ī laugh rumbled out of his chest. Leaving no question as to what he enjoyed doing. Gage met her eyes in another long, deliberate stare. “Why? You don’t like talking to me?” Hands planted on her slim hips, she moved closer, a pensive look on her face. But he doesn’t do relationships and she looks so young and innocent, he doesn’t want to sully her. ![]() She is very forward…and Gage is very into her. On a break in the back alley, they run into each other. One night at his club, he sees a very pretty girl giving him the eyes. ![]() With only three left, he can’t wait to be done. His brother got messed up with drugs and the only way to extricate him from the drug boss, was to promise this boss that Gage would underground fight for him for ten matches. He scowls a lot because he helped his brother out of trouble, which just gave him more trouble. The heroine jokes at one point that he must be fifty years old because he is so serious and dour, but really he is thirty. You better go back, stat! Our hero Gage is a former MMA fighter, now a club owner and occassional bouncer. If you come back, I won’t be able to control myself next time. ![]() One Night of Sin by Elle Kennedy (After Hours #1) ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments Books written by emily bronte![]() ![]() Alongside such mythologization, the sisters’ arduous path to publication was a remarkable collective effort. Yet too often they are still seen as unworldly spinsters in a desolate Yorkshire landscape, warmed by their surprisingly fiery imaginations. Lucasta Miller argues in The Brontë Myth (2001) that the Brontës are constantly reinvented to suit each generation. ![]() ![]() A trio has a powerful allure, summoning all the number’s witchy connotations. ![]() “We are three sisters,” Charlotte famously said when their anonymity could no longer be hidden from her publisher. More than merely siblings, the Brontës are a literary sisterhood. Joined by their older sister, in this attitude they wrote three iconic novels: Charlotte’s Jane Eyre (1847), Emily’s Wuthering Heights (1847), and Anne’s The Tenant of Wildfell Hall (1848). A version of it appears in almost every onscreen biographical depiction of the Brontës. With quick ink strokes, Emily created a scene that has become an essential part of Brontë iconography: women writing together at a table. In her 1837 diary paper, Emily Brontë drew a sketch of herself from the back, sitting across from her sister Anne in voluminous sleeves, their private papers strewn about them. ![]() 5/10/2023 0 Comments La tierra multicolor by Julian May![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Los inadaptados y rebeldes del futuro -muchos de ellos gente brillante- empezaron a buscar aquella puerta de salida hacia un misterioso pasado. Pero, a medida que iba pasando el tiempo, este descubrimiento reveló una cierta utilidad. En el año 2034, Theo Guderian, un físico francés, hizo un curioso pero impracticable descubrimiento: la forma de utilizar una flexión temporal de un solo sentido que se abría a un lugar en el valle del Ródano durante la idílica era del Plioceno, hace seis millones de años. ![]() ![]() Soon his girlfriend, Veronica, asks him to spend the weekend with her at her family's home. Tony goes to Bristol and starts dating seriously for the first time. When a boy in their class hangs himself because a girl he slept with gets pregnant, they spend hours discussing the philosophical issues around knowing exactly what happened when everything they know about the death comes from rumors.Īfter graduating, Adrian moves on to Cambridge University, one of the top two universities in England. Adrian Finn is the cleverest of the group, answering teachers' questions with complex philosophical arguments. ![]() Tony is still in high school, where he has a close group of three friends. Tony, a sixty-year-old retired arts administrator who lives in London, goes back in his memory to the early 1960s. A shiny inner wrist, a hot pan steaming in a sink, ejaculate being washed down a drain, a river rushing backward. The novel opens with its protagonist and narrator, Tony Webster, recalling fragmented images that have returned to him. ![]() |
