Rumors of an unwell, cruel prince abound, and the only thing that eclipses Aurelia’s apprehension of her impending marriage is her fear of those who’d kill her to prevent it. ![]() I went in with very low expectations and am happy to say that I was pleasantly surprised by the book! Goodreads SummaryĪurelia is the first princess born to the Renalten crown in two hundred years, destined to fulfill a treaty by journeying to marry Valentin, the prince of Achelva – Renalt’s greatest enemy. I was originally intimidated by the book because, let’s face it- both the cover and title are pretty… strong, and I’ve never had a strong stomach for blood. ![]() Bloodleaf is Cyrstal Smith’s debut novel and is the first in a trilogy. ![]() ![]() Everything here is for educational purposes.

![]() ![]() ![]() But ironically that is the most crucial period of our country which tests our integrity, intelligence, power, responsibility and many more constitutional lessons to come. Remember? none of our academic books mention what happened after India got its independence,either. I was kept in the dark all these years about what happened once India gained its independence. ![]() To me, Indian history always meant what happened till 1947 (year of Independence) or perhaps my knowledge expands one little year further till Gandhiji's death. India is world's largest but least likely democracy. And if you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong. "If you do not know where you come from, then you don't know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you're going. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Willa’s large family (four brothers, two parents) were also featured, and they each had distinct personalities and reflections on Willa’s role in the family, something that she considered often: how her family seemed to speak over her and turn her into their perception of who she should be. She recognized the prejudices against women in her time, and although she wanted to meet her family’s expectations, she also had no qualms about being ambitious and dedicated. ![]() Her curiosity and drive to help her community was so honest and open-hearted. This novel was very character driven, and I enjoyed reading from Willa’s perspective. Thank you to Flux and the Fantastic Flying Book Club for sending me a copy in exchange for my honest review.Īn inspiring historical fiction novel about a girl’s exploration of 1936 San Francisco’s medical community, Across a Broken Shore is a great read for those who, like me, enjoy reading about women in STEM. ![]() ![]() For a play that engages Puccini’s opera “Madama Butterfly” as much as this one does, this is a serious setback.įortunately, the gap in grandeur is filled to a large extent by Jake Manabat, who plays Song Liling. The more damaging issue, however, is Verbrugghe’s lack of operatic stature. Although I haven’t personally spoken with his character on the matter, I believe he’d prefer to be called Ron. Verbrugghe’s Rene seems like he has been to Europe maybe once - and hated it. But like Jeremy Irons, who starred in David Cronenberg’s 1993 film, he had an international air about him. John Lithgow, who originated the role onstage, may not have been especially Gallic. Verbrugghe’s portrayal has a modest charm, but the character seems to have wandered in from an American TV drama, possibly NBC’s “This Is Us.” Lucas Verbrugghe, though an appealing and sensitive actor, is miscast as Rene Gallimard, the French diplomat who falls for the Chinese opera diva whose femininity is an elaborate charade. They hesitate to command the large stage - and he, she or gender-neutral-pronoun-of-your-choice who hesitates in “M. ![]() ![]() ![]() A few ensemble members seem at times to be under the impression that they’re performing in an intimate venue. The acting in Chiang’s production, however, has some weak spots, and the pacing is erratic. ![]() ![]() A 360-page tour de force of visual storytelling, Monsters' narrative canvas is copious- part familial drama, part thriller, part metaphysical journey, it is an intimate portrait of individuals struggling to reclaim their lives and an epic political odyssey that plays across two generations of American history. As the monsters of the title multiply, becoming real and metaphorical, the story reaches a crescendo of moral reckoning. Bailey's only ally and protector, Sergeant McFarland, intervenes, which sets off a chain of cascading events that spin out of everyone's control. Secretive, damaged, innocent, trying to forget a past and looking for a future, Bobby is the perfect candidate for a secret US government experiment, an unholy continuation of a genetics program that was discovered in Nazi Germany nearly 20 years earlier in the waning days of World War II. Bailey doesn't realize he is about to fulfil his tragic destiny when he walks into a US Army recruitment office. ![]() ![]() ![]() 35 YEARS IN THE MAKING- THE MOST ANTICIPATED GRAPHIC NOVEL IN RECENT HISTORY 35 YEARS IN THE MAKING- THE MOST ANTICIPATED GRAPHIC NOVEL IN RECENT HISTORY *A GUARDIAN 'BOOKS OF 2021' PICK* The year is 1964. ![]() ![]() Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery and due to various reasons, the delivery may take longer than the original estimated timeframe.

There is simply no one like him, no one so able to give musical shape to ideas both on a page and in person. He still speaks in more beautiful sentences than anyone else I know. Garth and I have since crossed paths in Michigan, Washington, DC, New York City, Iowa, Texas, and several times in Sofia, Bulgaria, where he lived for a number of years and where all of his books are set. Twenty years have passed since then, as have many poems, three books of prose, and thousands of miles between us. He could talk about poetry for hours, and everything he said was formulated in eloquent, unpredictable sentences. His commitment to writing was inspirational even as a young student, he lived in a room with two cats and many, many hundreds of books. His native talent with the English language was evident to anyone who met him or saw him speak. ![]() ![]() ![]() At that time, Garth had studied music and wrote very beautiful poetry. I first met Garth Greenwell when we were both undergraduates. ![]() |
