An excellent and thrilling read!” Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author Killers of a Certain Age is the 60-something lady assassin book we didn’t know we needed, but, oh, we needed it. Her latest is a romping, wild delight from start to finish. "National treasure Deanna Raybourn never fails to enchant with her signature dry wit, sophisticated storylines, slick twists, and smart eccentric women who anchor her books. “A singular suspense story thanks to its deftly fluctuating tone, which is by turns comical, violent and unexpectedly affecting…it’s impossible not to root for these dangerous dames and their refusal to let themselves be put on the ash heap - a phrase that, in this thriller, should be taken literally.” -The Washington Post “This Golden Girls meets James Bond thriller is a journey you want to be part of.” -Buzzfeed Killers of a Certain Age | Book Review and Podcast ![]() ![]() And I never would have known it had I not driven the route down to Anchorage myself and thought, “Holy crap, I could so use those fireworks!” In regard to the conveniently placed fireworks stands, those are there. Part of the reason research is so much fun is that it brings up ideas you never would’ve considered. ![]() And, like James and Mark, I also have a well-thumbed back roads atlas of Canada. ![]() The houses in which they stayed, the towns, the stores, the bridges and rivers, the lake and the roads are all there, if you ever wanted to find them. And besides the obstacles I created-zombies and the like-I’d say 90% or more of the places they stopped were real. I wanted to be in that RV with our group. I virtually drove through much of Canada and Alaska, so much so that when I finally went to Alaska this past summer and my husband and I drove through Wasilla, I thought to myself, “I’ve been here before.” I knew where I was, knew what was ahead, and knew that I had probably spent far too long on Google Maps than was healthy.īut I wanted ATSITS to be realistic. I spent a hundred, if not hundreds, of hours on Google Maps. One reason All the Stars in the Sky felt like it took longer to write (besides its length) is that I did a ton of research. ![]() If you haven’t yet read All the Stars in the Sky, you might find this post to be spoiler-y, so close your eyes! ![]() ![]() ![]() We are straight out of mythology, goddesses who avenge, retaliate, punish, haunt, hunt, and don't stand around being victims, but make things happen. If you’re a fan of The Percy Jackson series and other mythological thrillers, Furious is the book to find!ĭue to copy and paste, formatting has been lost. Wolfson did an amazing job portraying their emotions and feelings so accurately that it was like I was looking into their heads. It starts out nice and romantic but turns horribly wrong when Ambrosia secretly sets them up for failure. My favorite part of Furious is Meg’s romance with her crush, Brendon. These three teens wind up meeting Ambrosia who shows them how to fix their lives and the people that they should be. Stephanie is made fun of at school for loving the environment while her parents’ real estate company goes around destroying it. Stephanie is a nature activist with parents that are the leading real estate owners in the area. All of the surfer guys harass and bully her. Alex is a poor surfer girl with a deadbeat father and no friends. She’s picked on and shunned by everyone except for her best friend. Meg is a foster child living with an abusive and neglectful foster mom and her school life isn’t any better either. ![]() ![]() Furious, by Jill Wolfson is set in Santa Cruz and is about three girls who all have terrible lives. ![]() ![]() Shukla's book tells stories of "anger, displacement, defensiveness, curiosity, absurdity" as well as "death, class, microaggression, popular culture, access, freedom of movement, stake in society, lingual fracas, masculinity, and more". Written by twenty-one British authors of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, The Good Immigrant explores the personal and universal experiences of immigrant and ethnic minority life in the United Kingdom. ![]() The Good Immigrant is a book of 21 essays by BAME writers, described by Sandeep Parmar in The Guardian as "an unflinching dialogue about race and racism in the UK", which aims to "document… what it means to be a person of colour now" in light of what Shukla notes in the book's foreword "the backwards attitude to immigration and refugees the systematic racism that runs through ". ![]() ![]() The compilation inspired the American sequel The Good Immigrant USA, published in 2017, which featured BAME authors from the United States. Contributors include actor/musician Riz Ahmed, journalist Reni Eddo-Lodge, comedian Nish Kumar and playwright Vinay Patel. Written by British authors who identify as BAME (Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic), the essays concern race, immigration, identity, 'otherness', exploring the experience of immigrant and ethnic minority life in the United Kingdom from their perspective.

Nonetheless, in reading these poems, I find reflections on, and insight into, my own experiences. I am aware, as many people are, that for people and places in the world, the challenges are huge and sometimes extremely harrowing, compared to my own. Though of course everyone’s individual experience of this situation is unique.

When the tornado hits, Dovey, a local laundress, is flung by the terrifying winds into a nearby lake. on Palm Sunday, April 5, 1936, a massive funnel cloud flashing a giant fireball and roaring like a runaway train careened into the thriving cotton-mill town of Tupelo, Mississippi, killing more than two hundred people-not counting an unknown number of black citizens, one-third of Tupelo's population, who were not included in the official casualty figures.

Not by much definitely doesn’t require a book this massive (400k words) to achieve. It eventually went further beyond the one in the previous installment. Picture: A Dance with Dragons by Marc Simonettiįocusing on a different set of characters geographically, the story in A Dance with Dragons starts simultaneously with A Feast for Crows. I do believe that we’ll get The Winds of Winter eventually, but the planned final book of the series, A Dream of Spring, is indeed a dream. He wondered if they would ever see a spring.” Realistically speaking, due to the direction of the story in this book, I’m quite confident that A Song of Ice and Fire most likely will never be completed. If it weren’t obvious before, this book displayed Martin’s struggle with writing his main series even more. In fact, I thought this was even worse due to the boring setting and unnecessary length of this tome. I was wrong because this book didn’t show any sign of improvement. I really thought A Feast for Crows would’ve been the lowest point of the main series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As the summer progresses, the off-stage drama between the three begins to overshadow their theatrical success, and events unfold which will have lasting consequences for all their futures.
