The second surprise comes when Genie figures out that their grandfather is blind. In this “pitch-perfect contemporary novel” ( Kirkus Reviews, starred review), Coretta Scott King – John Steptoe Award-winning author Jason Reynolds explores multigenerational ideas about family love and bravery in the story of two brothers, their blind grandfather, and a dangerous rite of passage.

Sarah Hagi: Your book has been doing incredibly well-it sold out everywhere. Right on the heels of an extensive book tour and becoming a newly minted New York Times best selling author, I spoke to Tolentino about the delicate balance of writing about topics so of the moment and how we can feel less alone. With her book of original essays, Trick Mirror (Random House), Tolentino weaves together online culture with real life in a way that not only captures the present, but how the past and perceived future shape our understanding of the world as it continues to change. Over the last several years, at the Hairpin, Jezebel, and now the New Yorker, Jia Tolentino has cemented herself as almost peerless in her ability to capture our current cultural zeitgeist in a world that sometimes moves so quickly it can be hard to define what the zeitgeist may be. 6/26/2023 0 Comments Sarah parcak national geographicFrom Egypt, China, South America to India, archaeologists are experiencing a golden era of discovery thanks to new tools, like big data, artificial intelligence, and satellite imagery, that help uncover buried civilizations. Vesusius in 79 A.D.īut why are so many drawn thousands of miles to experience what is essentially a ghost town? Perhaps because archaeology is inspiring tourism around the world. Hollowed out buildings, cobblestone streets, and delicate mosaics are all that’s left of this ancient Roman civilization after it was covered by volcanic ash from Mt. The ancient city in Italy is one of the country’s largest tourist attractions, receiving over 4 million visitors a year. Thinking about taking a big trip this summer? You might consider skipping the large urban centers, like Paris or Madrid, for something a little older-like Pompeii. The ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii is one of Italy’s most popular tourist attractions. Sadly once we delve into the meat of the book, this fear factor is gone and we are left with Simon Lester travelling the world doing research and arguing with an internet troll. The way Campbell creates this scene, filled with demented clowns is one of the most chilling things I have read in a long while. It is in these opening chapters that he takes his girlfriend’s son, Mark, to a circus which nothing short of pure nightmare-fuel. The book starts off well as Lester our narrator/protagonist is clearly established and fleshed at as the kind of man who invokes sympathy from the readers due to his streak of bad luck both professionally and personally. As Lester delves into this research he becomes more mentally unstable as clown imagery and the specter of Tubby Lane haunts him. The novel is about film critic Simon Lester who is out of a job and dealing with relationship troubles, when his mentor offers him the chance to write about the long forgotten silent film actor Tubby Lane. But when it’s off it is a tedious chore as the reader practically yells at the unreliable narrator to get to the point. When he cranks up the creep factor this book is chilling and unnerving with the imagery he creates. Acclaimed horror writer Ramsey Campbell’s novel, The Grin of the Dark, represents a host of missed opportunities. 6/26/2023 0 Comments Sleer the graveyard bookHowever, the world outside of the graveyard where he is sheltered is not a safe place, as the people who killed his family are still out there, and they are searching for him. There, taken care of by a vampire, a werewolf and his adoptive (but dead) parents, Bod learns from the dead all the things he needs to know about life. The dead inhabitants of the graveyard take the boy in, and dub him Nobody Owens (although his friends call him Bod). When a young boy's family is killed, he takes refuge in a graveyard. The Graveyard Book is a 2008 young adult novel written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Dave McKean in the US edition and Chris Riddell in the UK that can best be summarized as The Jungle Book, but gothic. There was a hand in the darkness, and it held a knife. 6/26/2023 0 Comments Not Her Daughter by Rea FreyWhew, this book! As I start to write this review, the first book that comes to mind to compare this psychological thriller about child abduction to is “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn. Emotionally powerful and wire-taut, Not Her Daughter raises the question of what it means to be a mother-and how far someone will go to keep a child safe. But her real mother is at home, waiting for her to return-and the longer the search for Emma continues, Amy is forced to question if she really wants her back. And now she's gone without a trace.As Sarah and Emma avoid the nationwide hunt, they form an unshakeable bond. Unsure she wants her daughter back.Amy's life is a string of disappointments, but her biggest issue is her inability to connect with her daughter.
