PRAISE FOR PATRICIA A JACKSON "Crafted with skill, featuring an array of unforgettable characters and breath-stealing action, Forging a Nightmare is one hell of a ride. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Described in her high school yearbook as the “prettiest girl in the senior class,” Watkins was also the smartest, graduating first in her class. The show was Chicago, and its author was Maurine Watkins ’27Dra, the precocious only child of a minister and a teacher from Louisville, Kentucky. In 1925, Yale opened the first graduate department of drama in the United States, and it didn’t take long for the program to bear fruit: within a year, a play written by a student in the inaugural class went to Broadway and was hailed by the New York Times as “one of the most stirring plays of the season.” Remade as a Broadway musical and more than one movie, the story continues to captivate audiences to this day. At Yale, she parlayed her reporting experience into the play Chicago, which was remade several times, including as a 2002 Academy Award-winning movie. ![]() Condé Nast Archive/Corbis Maurine Watkins's "demure, old-fashioned air" helped her get a job at the Chicago Tribune. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() When a “federal administrator” arrives in a nearby city, they dare to hope that a national government is finally reemerging. One Year After - Two years after nuclear weapons were detonated above the United States and brought America to its knees, the survivors of Black Mountain, North Carolina, are beginning to recover technology and supplies they had once taken for granted, like electricity, radio communications, and medications. One Second After - In the novel that was cited on the floor of Congress as a book all Americans should read, professor John Matherson struggles to save his family and his small North Carolina mountain town after America loses a war in one second, a war that will send the country back to the Dark Ages. The New Dark Ages are suddenly upon us in this series exploring the potential aftermath of a very real threat. Whatever the cause, looting, food riots, and global insurrection are the order of the day. The country is in chaos, and everyone wants to know why. Trains, planes, cars, phones, computers, power plants, electronics and electrical equipment-all comes to a screeching halt. Forstchen: In the span of a single second, the United States is plunged into darkness as an Electro Magnetic Pulse (EMP) wipes out all electricity. ![]() The wise will listen.” - Stephen Coontsįrom New York Times bestselling author, William R. “Forstchen is the prophet of a new Dark Age. This discounted ebundle of the John Matherson Series includes: One Second After, One Year After, The Final Day ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Author Marissa Moss has again done a great job. ![]() Simple, bella, un regalo permenente: simple and beautiful, a gift that will stay. This notebook looks at Amelias attempts to trust her new friend Leah enough to let her read Amelias notebook. Like all good stories, this one incorporates a lesson just subtle enough that readers will forget they're being taught, but in the end will understand themselves, and others, a little better, regardless of la lengua nativa-the mother tongue. This story seamlessly weaves two culturaswhile letting each remain intact, just as Miguel is learning to do with his own life. Eventually, Tía Lola and the children swap English and Spanish ejercicios, but the true lesson is "mutual understanding." Peppered with Spanish words and phrases, Alvarez makes the reader as much a part of the "language" lessons as the characters. She can also cook exotic food, dance (anywhere, anytime), plan fun parties, and tell enchanting stories. Tía Lola, however, knows a language that defies words she quickly charms and befriends all the neighbors. The last thing Miguel wants, as he's trying to fit into a predominantly white community, is a flamboyant aunt who doesn't speak a word of English. When Tía Lola arrives to help the family, Miguel and his hermana, Juanita, have just moved from New York City to Vermont with their recently divorced mother. ![]() Renowned Latin American writer Alvarez has created another story about cultural identity, but this time the primary character is 11-year-old Miguel Guzmán. ![]() ![]() ![]() Agent: Thao Le, Sandra Dijkstra Literary. ![]() Readers will cheer for Jack and Elsie and their bumpy road to happily ever after. Geeky science jokes, humorous student emails, and expertly delivered snarky banter enhance the narrative. Meanwhile, sunshiny Elsie’s imposter syndrome rings true as she navigates the cutthroat world of academia (“STEM academia is 98 percent politics and 1 percent science”) and learns that her mentor and idol has feet of clay. The ensuing STEM-themed enemies-to-lovers romance is simply a delight, though it’s complicated by the fact that Jack believes Elsie is his brother’s girlfriend. The first of C.S Forester's naval yarns on the career of Horatio Hornblower known first as the midshipman who was 'seasick at Spithead'. ![]() Jonathan Smith-Turner, a legendary young physicist whose views are at odds with Elsie’s. While interviewing for her dream job at MIT, Elsie’s worlds collide: her favorite fake-dating client’s brother, whom she knew as Jack Smith, is actually Dr. The fake dating trope gets a techy update via Faux, an app connecting clients with pretend partners for hire, through which Boston adjunct professor Elsie Hannaway finds side gigs while she searches for a better-paying job in theoretical physics. Bestseller Hazelwood ( Loathe to Love You) delivers a decidedly quirky and thoroughly charming tale. ![]() ![]() Soon Charlaine was looking for another challenge, and the result was the much darker Lily Bard series. Her first Teagarden, Real Murders, garnered an Agatha nomination. ![]() After a child-producing sabbatical, Charlaine latched on to the trend of series, and soon had her own traditional mystery books about a Georgia librarian, Aurora Teagarden. The resulting two stand-alones were published by Houghton Mifflin. After holding down some low-level jobs, her husband Hal gave her the opportunity to stay home and write. Though her early output consisted largely of ghost stories, by the time she hit college (Rhodes, in Memphis) Charlaine was writing poetry and plays. ![]() Charlaine lives in Texas now, and all of her children and grandchildren are within easy driving distance. ![]() A native of the Mississippi Delta, she grew up in the middle of a cotton field. Charlaine Harris has been a published novelist for over thirty-five years. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So if you're after a campus novel, then this really isn't it. They could just have easily been working in offices and/or theatres and events could have unfolded in much the same way. The fact that the central characters happen to be students when the back-story begins is neither here nor there. This felt much more Barbara Vine to me, which is also excellent company to be in. I saw no signs that the author was attempting to retrace Donna Tartt's steps. Not too sure where this could have arisen from, but it feels a bit unfair to me. I've read other reviewer which comparing it to The Secret History, yet feeling let down when it fails to measure up as a campus novel. As well as a story that carries you along, the writing is generously peppered with interesting observations and compelling description. I enjoyed this, and will certainly look for others by this author. SPOILER possibility.proceed with caution. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are things Luce needs to learn on her very own, without Daniel there. ![]() While she is taking a trip via the past, Daniel is constantly one action behind her, never ever able to catch up– which is maybe just how it must be. I locate her past character much more interesting compared to the here and now Luce. What surprise me is, the majority of her previous version is a lot more bold and also dependent than today Luce. ![]() She step into unknown with an objective to uncover her past and also recognize the future. When she tip to the commentator in the tail end of Torment I virtually joy for her because I assumed she is aiming to be independent for once. While I see a little development in her personality in Torment I expected extra from her in this book. If you have actually reviewed my testimonials for Fallen and Torment you understand that I have concerns with Luce for being the dependent woman the majority of the moment. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Lara has everything she ever wanted: a tight-knit group of friends, a job that borders on cool, and Chase, the boy of her literal dreams.
