The new book takes place six years after the events of the first, with the focus being on some of the compelling female characters of Eames' world - including the titular Rose, warrior and daughter of the legendary Golden Gabe from the cast of Kings. Also, the many bands of monster-slaying, treasure-snatching adventurers in Eames' novel operate - and inspire widespread worship - the same way rock bands do in our world.īloody Rose is this year's sequel to Kings of the Wyld, and it's even better than its predecessor. The author's debut novel, Kings of the Wyld, became an out-of-the-blue hit in 2016 thanks to its witty, rollicking mashup of sword-and-sorcery bombast with copious references to the real-world canon of classic rock: Everything from a town called Coverdale (as in David Coverdale, singer of Whitesnake) to a character named Moog (after the legendary inventor Bob Moog and his eponymous synthesizer). But rarely has anyone explored that overlap as effusively as Nicholas Eames. How?Įver since Led Zeppelin took it up on themselves to sing songs about hobbits, rock music and fantasy literature have had an intimate relationship. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.

Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must face her greatest fears in this chilling entry in the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of the Royals series. 'Patricia Briggs never fails to deliver an exciting, magic and fable-filled suspense story' Erin Watt, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson returns in another thrilling instalment of the major urban fantasy series from No. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Days of fire by peter bakerThis briskly written but exhaustively detailed account defies expectations by portraying an administration of intelligent, patriotic adults with necessarily limited information striving to do what they believed was best for the nation in a dangerous era, with real but overlooked achievements. Baker concludes that Bush "was at his best when he was cleaning up his worst." The author shows how it all went wrong, however, without a hint of partisan rancor. Written as though it has the perspective of a century's distance on the events of the last decade, New York Times senior White House correspondent Baker ( The Breach: Inside the Impeachment and Trial of William Jefferson Clinton, 2000, etc.) dispatches false and puerile memes-Bush stole Florida, blood for oil, Bush lied and kids died, etc.-to the dustbin of history as he delivers "the most documented history of the Bush-Cheney White House to date." The author is no Bush cheerleader he shines a pitiless light on the failures of judgment, erroneous intelligence and excessive reliance on subordinates that led to the debacle in Iraq, which undid Bush's second term. A thorough, objective and surprisingly positive examination of the Bush-Cheney years. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Junot diaz auroraWhile men struggle to find an identity within a new environment, women are not even welcome within their own culture. Women are even more so affected because, according to Anzaldua, “culture is made by those in power men” (Anzaldua 1018). This is a problem that heavily affects the Latino immigrant community in the United States because assimilating to the American way of life marks them as traitors to their culture, despite the fact that they are never wholly accepted by American culture regardless of what they sacrifice. Furthermore, her focus on borders, in particular those that exist between languages, cultures, and genders, allows her to emphasize how many people do not fit into either side of a binary. Her use of “Spanglish” allows her to create a space for herself to voice her opinion that does not exist within either the Chicano or White American cultures that surround her. In her book, Anzaldua writes in a combination of Spanish and English in order to simultaneously critique, alienate, and engage her readers. 5/23/2023 0 Comments Llewellyn how green was my valleyIs this willful naïveté? Hardly, as director John Ford takes great care to depict the hardships faced by the Morgans and others in their community. And yet, as seen through the eyes of Huw (Roddy McDowall), the youngest of the six Morgan brothers, the valley is also a place of comfort and camaraderie, exaltation and exuberance. An adaptation of the Richard Llewellyn novel about a coal-mining family in 19 th-century Wales, the movie chronicles the work stoppages, hunger, heartbreak, illness, death and separation that define their life together. There is no logical reason why you should feel as warm and nostalgic as you do at the end of How Green Was My Valley. 5/23/2023 0 Comments The Ebb Tide by Beverly LewisHas she been too hasty with her promises, or will she only find what her heart is longing for back home?īestseller Lewis continues her streak of affecting, enjoyable Amish tales with this story of a young woman in present-day Lancaster County, Penn., who's eager to see the world.

And if I can get the man of my dreams and save the world at the same time? I’ll take it. I want to demand action on gun control, lead protests, raise my fist. But what I saw at school that day woke me up. He still needed me, and soon we were unlikely besties. When he survived and came back to school, he was broken in body and mind. His request surprised me, but I figured he needed comfort, so I kissed him on the forehead. When I came across Brian Marshall,the hottest guy in school, dying on the cafeteria floor, I did what anyone would do. Only how can I move on when the two shooters who attacked our school were never caught? And why do I feel like I’m still in the crosshairs? But here’s the thing about losing it all: You get a chance to start over and be someone new. Can’t even stand to be in a room with the curtains open. He came out a few years ago, proud and fierce, and he ran into gunfire to help others. I told myself it didn’t matter no one knew the real me. I had everything-school quarterback, popular with girls, and my dad was proud of me. Audio Tour, Excerpt & Giveaway: Boy Shattered by Eli Easton |
