6/29/2023 0 Comments My utmostI had not wholly braced myself for the pungent bouquet of your unnaturally tall usher, before his hare-brained words struck my ears with the harmonic qualities of a misguided stormhammer in a wooden pantry. Due to unlucky misdirection, of chancing on your little dwelling of insignificant proportion and shoddy brickwork, where I was met with a representative of your kind. As I had the misfortune of meeting one of your sort. I write to pass my grievance, as a hill dwarf, unto you. I have taken the time to write this letter, and I pray it arrives in between the time your morning bread grows stale, and your children have begun their morning cacophony of inane howling. It is with my utmost delight, that I write this letter I have ensured to write them in block to ease your comprehension. To the befeathered cave-dwellers of the Aerie Peak. 6/29/2023 0 Comments Sandra cisneros poems loose womanYou Like to Give and Watch Me My Pleasure Once red, now spiderspit-gray, intact but empty,Īnd stretch.

His mother, his teacher.even his beloved godfather, the man he trusted most in the world, are not who they seem.

As she gets pulled deeper into her work, she uncovers some uncomfortable truths about who she's working for. When she was recruited for an apparent CIA assignment that requires her to compromise the president of Burkina Faso ( Thomas Sankara), she jumps at the chance. She's dissatisfied with her work and her career progress as an FBI agent. Marie is a child of the civil rights era who works for the FBI in the 1980s and early 1990s. Keep that in mind as you read the rest of this post. I don't read much from either genre, so I'm unfamiliar with the tropes and conventions of either. It's a spy thriller, but also a work of historical fiction. Wilkinson writes the novel as a series of journals for she's writing to leave for her two sons while she goes off to settle a score. I finally got to it this month to close out my very modest 2022 reading goal of 14 books.Īmerican Spy is about Marie Mitchell, the daughter of a Martinican mother and Black American father and her relationships both to the people in her life and the institutions that shape Black life globally. It's been on my list to read since my husband snagged a copy of the book in paperback. Lauren Wilkinson's 2019 debut novel was critically acclaimed and a few best reads lists. 6/29/2023 0 Comments The kiss curse erin sterlingIt is, however, a novel in which witchcraft is an acknowledged part of the social fabric. There are complicated characters and a plot. “The Kiss Curse” is a real novel-no question about that. In this category there were two-"The Ex Hex” and “The Kiss Curse.” Although, or perhaps because this is not my usual fictional territory, I decided to have a look. In 2022 I enjoyed “Reckless Girls,” a thriller set on a remote Pacific Island and inspired by Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None.” Almost by chance I learned that Hawkins, writing as Erin Sterling, was the author of a dozen other novels, including some concerning witchcraft. In 2021 I enjoyed reading Rachel Hawkins’ “The Wife Upstairs,” a clever novel based on “Jane Eyre” but set in Mountain Brook. 6/29/2023 0 Comments Lies sleepingShe was put on leave from her job despite there being no indication, other than the video, that she had done anything to warrant a suspension. Meanwhile, vitriol, anger, hatred, racial slurs, were all slung at this woman. Twitter's new Community Notes function, however, came into play when users started pointing out the absolute absurdity of the story. The question among people who actually know how to think began to be why a pregnant nurse, exhausted after a 12-hour shift at a Bellvue Hospital, would try to steal a bicycle from a group of young men. The immediate assumption was that the viral video showed a pregnant woman attempting to steal a bike from a group of young men. A nurse who is 6 months pregnant was put on leave from her job with a New York hospital this week after she was accused in a TikTok video of trying to steal a Citi-bike from a group of young black men. 6/29/2023 0 Comments The leviathan trilogyFast forward 50 years, and you find London crawling with fabricated elephants and giant oxen instead of cars, and gecko/parrot hybrids are used to send messages. In this version of history, when Charles Darwin came up with the theory of evolution, he also discovered the 'threads of life', or DNA - and, more importantly, how to manipulate them and construct new creatures. Obviously, he took liberties with history. Oh, and Germans and Austrians use giant Walkers to fight the British and French Fabricated Animals. Some of the differences are that Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife are assassinated in the evening, as opposed to the afternoon, they have only one son. Leviathan is a book series (and the first book in the series) by Scott Westerfeld that takes place in an alternate version of World War I Europe. 6/28/2023 0 Comments Embrace the dawn kathleen morganAlthough this is purely historical fiction, expect some crossover appeal to fans of Diana Gabaldon's "Outlander" time-traveling series, especially those who prefer their Highlands action to be clean-cut and faith-based. The intrusion of a modern feminist viewpoint in relation to the treatment and role of women may alienate period purists but does not detract from Morgan's well-written, exciting, and action-packed story. Meanwhile, the Campbells and other enemies threaten their future. But both resist this fate for reasons of their own. Killian manages to save Ruarc from immediate execution and returns with him to his manor, where the priest urges them to marry, saying that it is God's will. A stranger intervenes and kills Alexander but is caught by Alexander's vengeful kin and revealed to be Ruarc MacDonald, adding fuel to an existing feud between the Campbell and MacDonald clans. She barely manages to get out of the Campbell ancestral castle when Alexander catches her. Set in the late 17th-century Scottish Highlands, this rousing historical epic from the best-selling author of the "Brides of Culdee Creek" inspirational romance series follows the adventures of Killian Campbell, a young, spirited American who seeks to escape her abusive husband, Alexander, and return to America with her young son. |
