The novel was hotly anticipated, as its popularity was boosted by the airing of the acclaimed first season of the series’s television adaptation, “Game of Thrones,” on HBO just a few months before. Martin released his fifth book in the series “A Dance with Dragons.” The novel is part of an epic fantasy franchise that depicts the story of warring noble families fighting for the throne of the fictional state of Westeros. While 2011 was a year of optimism and excitement for fans of the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series, 2021 is a year of disappointment and intense worry.

"At its heart, this story is about family, community, and communication, and Hudson narrates it with warmth and wry humor."Bittersweet "is a book worth recommending." -School Library Journal"Hudson's conflicting emotions are richly realized. This book is so well crafted from the sweet winter romance, to the icy back drop from the winter season in the small town of Watonka, NY to the ice skating and ice hockey subplots and the deliciously described cupcakes. Hudson's lively first-person narrative is both wry and sympathetic, and it incorporates issues ranging from self-discovery to family and relationship complexities, along with identifying and following your dreams."

TomasiTomasi and illustrator Sara Duvall show the building of the Brooklyn Bridge as it has never been seen before, and the marriage of the Roeblings-based on intellectual equality and mutual support-that made the construction of this iconic structure possible. In this inspiring graphic novel, author Peter J. Washington’s wife, Emily Roebling, took his place running the work site, deftly assuming the role of chief engineer, supervising the project and overseeing the workers, contractors, a hostile press, and greedy city politicians-an unusual position for a woman to take on at the time. As work on the bridge went on, Washington developed caisson disease, leaving him bedridden for the majority of the bridge’s 14-year construction. The Brooklyn Bridge was originally designed by John Augustus Roebling, but it was his son, Washington, and his daughter-in-law, Emily, who oversaw the bridge’s construction. More than 130 years after its completion, the Brooklyn Bridge remains one of the most extraordinary landmarks and symbols of Brooklyn and New York City-and the story behind this architectural marvel is just as extraordinary. 5/18/2023 0 Comments A twisted tale what once was mineAnd Rapunzel learns that there may be more to her story, and her magical tresses, than she ever knew.

Healing from a lifetime of emotional abuse, Danny has anger issues and tunnel vision that cause her to unknowingly hurt others or not to notice her own insensitivity. This sequel drops readers at a waypoint where Danny’s physically comfortable and finding her place among her fellow “capes,” but her physical strength allows long-standing emotional damage to come thundering to the surface. The first book’s arc showed the white protagonist’s growth from a terrified trans teen to a powerful, revered superhero who physically resembles her truest self. She sinks into the violence, feeling a bite of disappointment when she wins too quickly. On a never-ending cycle of thwarting supervillains, dealing with local police, going over interviews with her lawyer/publicist, Danny keeps to herself how the one thing that she loves the most about the job is the fight. It’s been nine months since the last Dreadnought was blown apart and he transferred the mantle-and the responsibilities-to teenager Danny Tozer, and she’s already world-weary. 5/18/2023 0 Comments El santo m robinsonAlways convinced I was a saint, never believing I was just another sinner.

Robinson, a coming of age, enemies to lovers, contemporary romance filled with angst and all the feels. Description From Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author M. The cult is masquerading as a church promising salvation through temperance and a return to “the good old days,” so it’s hard for Ellie to take a stand against them, especially when her father joins, but Ellie loves Long Island, and she loves her family, and she’ll do whatever it takes to ensure neither is torn apart. Distilled from foul mushrooms by a cult of diabolists, those who drink it see terrible things-like the destruction of Long Island in fire and flood. What Ellie doesn’t know is that this booze is special. So desperate that when wealthy strangers ask her to procure libations for an extravagant party Ellie sells them everything she has, including some booze she acquired under unusual circumstances. It’s dangerous work under Prohibition-independent operators like her are despised by federal agents and mobsters alike-but Ellie’s brother was accepted to college and Ellie’s desperate to see him go. Tanzer is absolutely one to watch.” -Seanan McGuire, bestselling, award-winning author of In an Absent Dream Amityville baywoman Ellie West fishes by day and bootlegs moonshine by night. This book is a delicate dream, mixing its own internal mythology with a brutal tale of prejudice and human frailty. |
