Flung together by circumstance, housing woes, and family secrets, will the sisters learn more about each other than they're willing to confront? And what if while helping June, Jayne has to confront the fact that maybe she's sick, too?Ĭhoi has a real gift for creating a character so real and complex that she can crack his psyche open like a melon and pick through all the gnarly seeds., PRAISE FOR YOLK * " Insightful and intricately constructed. And Jayne becomes the only one who can help her. Once thick as thieves, these sisters who moved from Seoul to San Antonio to New York together now don't want anything to do with each other. Jayne is an emotionally stunted, self-obsessed basket case who lives in squalor, has egregious taste in men, and needs to get to class and stop wasting Mom and Dad's money (if you ask June). June's three years older, a classic first-born, know-it-all narc with a problematic finance job and an equally soulless apartment (according to Jayne). Choi comes a funny and emotional story about two estranged sisters and how far they'll go to save one of their lives-even if it means swapping identities. "Sneaks up on you with its insight and poignancy." - Entertainment Weekly From New York Times bestselling author Mary H.K. Smith has done something special here using as his primary tools earnest, straightforward language and an eye and ear that probes bone-deep. I was on the edge of my seat!, A thought-provoking novel that, like a wave, builds strength and intensity as it moves forward. The characters are masterfully well-drawn-Martin was so vulnerable and his confusion grew on me so that I ultimately cared and worried about him. I was on the edge of my seat!, Wow! FORTY ACRES is a thriller in a class all by itself-brilliant and scary. Wow! FORTY ACRES is a thriller in a class all by itself-brilliant and scary. In a world where women are nothing more than the pawns of powerful men, will Ariadne’s decision to betray Crete for Theseus ensure her happy ending? Or will she find herself sacrificed for her lover’s ambition?Īriadne gives a voice to the forgotten women of one of the most famous Greek myths, and speaks to their strength in the face of angry, petulant Gods. But helping Theseus kill the monster means betraying her family and country, and Ariadne knows only too well that in a world ruled by mercurial gods – drawing their attention can cost you everything. When Theseus, Prince of Athens, arrives in Crete as a sacrifice to the beast, Ariadne falls in love with him. The Minotaur – Minos’s greatest shame and Ariadne’s brother – demands blood every year. Perfect for fans of CIRCE, A SONG OF ACHILLES, and THE SILENCE OF THE GIRLS.Īs Princesses of Crete and daughters of the fearsome King Minos, Ariadne and her sister Phaedra grow up hearing the hoofbeats and bellows of the Minotaur echo from the Labyrinth beneath the palace.

It’s Tate’s first time out of the country and she couldn’t be more excited especially after meeting Sam and his step-grandad, Luther. But Tate is 18 now and she wants to explore the world, so she and her grandma set off to London on a two-week vacation filled with sightseeing and exploration. While she’s lived away from the spotlight for ten years, she and her family don’t take any risks with being noticed by the paparazzi or someone else. Twice in a Blue Moon follows Tate Butler aka Tate Jones aka the daughter of the famous movie actor, Ian Butler. After reading Twice in a Blue Moon, I feel like I found something of substance with a ton of potential, but a few flaws I couldn’t overlook. While I’ve loved their romantic comedies they put out every few months, I keep hoping the next one I’ll read from them will blow me away like Love and Other Words did. However, it feels like ever since that book came out I’ve been expecting something similar from them. I’ve been a fan of Christina Lauren ever since I read Love and Other Words last year. Life is a struggle and the potential for failure is ever present, but those who live in fear of failure, or hardship, or embarrassment will never achieve their potential. Instead he tells us about how when he was in boot camp he was very good at making his own bed, so good that when his instructor threw a quarter at the mattress it "jumped several inches off the bed." Who could fail to be impressed by an anecdote like that, or the one that follows it in which he makes his bed for the first time after being laid up following a parachute accident? "It was," he tells us, "my way of showing that I had conquered the injury." Not just conquered, I'm sure, but simply annihilated it with that single, Siegfried-like triumph over the unruly sheets and recalcitrant pillows. McRaven, a retired Navy SEAL admiral, does not so much argue this point. Failure to complete it suggests not mere laziness or indifference to real or perceived social norms but advanced, indeed very likely terminal moral decay. The premise of the book is exactly what the title suggests - i.e., that the diurnal stretching and folding of linen over a rectangle of polyurethane foam is a task of well-nigh existential importance. Beware spoilers, though! Just keep your eyes to the summary and you should be fine. If you pick up this book and feel lost, I suggest reading a chapter and then reading the chapter summary on the Malazan Wiki. This made reading the first third of the book very slow, but it was worth it as by the second and final third of the book I was burning through it – I finished it in two days. I made sure that I’d taken in every detail on the page, sometimes reading it twice if I wasn’t sure. Picking it up the second time, I decided to read very slowly. If the books only get better from here, I am in for the ride of my life. Who were these characters and what were they doing? Where were they? What the hell is going on?! I didn’t see the point in reading on when there was no hope of me understanding a thing that happened. I was confused by everything and nothing made any sense. Over a year ago, I read 200 pages and had to put it down. I wanted to get that out of the way before I say that it took me two attempts to get into this book. Steven Erikson’s first book in Malazan Book of the Fallen is a masterpiece: if the books only get better from here – which I hear a lot from fans of the series – then I am in for the ride of my life. The world is rich and its history angry and proud. In this Gardens of the Moon book review, I discuss how amazing it is. Gardens of the Moon is one of the best fantasy booksI have ever read. My Rating: 5/5 Spoiler Free Gardens of the Moon Book Review The work reflects "partisan public sentiment on an English-Protestant national holiday", 5 November. The young John Milton, in 1626 at the age of 17, wrote what one commentator has called a "critically vexing poem", In Quintum Novembris. The conspirator who became most closely associated with the plot in the popular imagination was Guy Fawkes, who had been assigned the task of lighting the fuse to the explosives. The conspirators' aim was to blow up the House of Lords at the State Opening of Parliament on 5 November 1605, while the king and many other important members of the aristocracy and nobility were inside. The Gunpowder Plot was a failed assassination attempt against King James VI of Scotland and I of England by a group of provincial English Catholics led by Robert Catesby.
