6/12/2023 0 Comments Acheron dark hunter graphic novelAcheron, a character that has stayed with me for a very long time. I don’t remember when last I was so I absorbed into a world and characters that became so real to me. It’s amazing that, no matter how many times I read this book, it continues to consume all my senses….pulled at my emotions all over again. I decided to read this book again, before getting started on Styxx. and it made me into a die-hard fan of Sherrilyn Kenyon (who up to this time, I had never heard of or knew about her books). STILL MY ALL TIME FAVORITE IN THIS SERIES!!!Īcheron was the first book I ever read by this author…. Join her and her Paladins online at and Fan Run International Sites: Her Chronicles of Nick and Dark-Hunter series are soon to be major motion pictures while Dark-Hunter is also being developed as a television series. Her current series are: Dark-Hunters, Chronicles of Nick and The League, and her books are available in over 100 countries where eager fans impatiently wait for the next release. Since 2004, she had placed more than 80 novels on the New York Times list in all formats including manga and graphic novels. With legions of fans known as Paladins (thousands of whom proudly sport tattoos from her series and who travel from all over the world to attend her appearances), her books are always snatched up as soon as they appear on store shelves. New York Times and international bestselling author Sherrilyn Kenyon is a regular at the #1 spot. 6/12/2023 0 Comments Battle royale the novelOne of the main characters comes home from school to find that his dad has committed suicide. A couple who have hanged themselves are shown. A teacher shoots a teenage student for whispering. Two girls are shot while trying to make peace. Another character is shown being stabbed multiple times. One character’s weapon is a scythe which she cuts someone throat with. Since the point of Battle Royale is to kill each other there is frequent stabbing, shooting, bombs exploding people, poison and very bloody deaths on screen. This is the best film I’ve seen in ages so I definitely recommend this! The story is in the future, teens have become too violent and the government has decided to send a random school class to an island to fight every year until only one is left alive. Battle Royale is an amazing movie with a plot quite similar to The Hunger Games. 6/11/2023 0 Comments Willa cather 1918 novelFrom Jewett, Cather learned to write what she knew, to write about the land and the place that had formed her. While in Boston, she met the woman who would become her literary mentor – Sarah Orne Jewett, the author of The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896). (Like her male narrator, Cather was also born in Virginia, in Back Creek near Winchester, and moved to Red Cloud, Nebraska, when she was ten.)Īfter graduating from the University of Nebraska, Cather (1873-1947) left for the East Coast, where she worked as a journalist. He tells the story of Ántonia Shimerda, the daughter of Bohemian immigrants to Nebraska. The third volume in her “prairie trilogy” (the first two being O Pioneers! and ), My Ántonia is told from the perspective of Jim Burden, who is ten years old and recently transplanted from Virginia to Nebraska at the beginning of the tale. Set in the fictional town of Black Hawk, Nebraska, in the late 19 th century, My Ántonia brings to life the experience of immigrants who settled the prairie. For Jennifer Soule on her birthday, the anniversary of the 1888 Children’s Blizzard.īrrr! With all the harsh winter weather spreading across the country, I can’t help but think of a classic winter scene in Willa Cather’s 1918 novel, My Ántonia (accent on the first syllable). 6/11/2023 0 Comments Reparations by Sara's GirlThe Associated Press interviewed a handful of Black advocates and residents who followed the task force’s work - as well as those who have long been engaged in the conversation about reparations. It's uncertain what lawmakers will do with the proposals, which include payments to descendants of enslaved people and a formal apology from the state. It’s not - it hasn’t been over for us.”īlack Californians have watched closely as the state's reparations task force forged ahead in a two-year study, finally signing off this month on a hefty list of recommendations that will be submitted to lawmakers. “I want them to understand that we’re still going through things now as a community. “I want them to stop acting like it’s so far removed, and it’s not currently happening,” said Harris of the lingering effects of slavery and discrimination. 6/11/2023 0 Comments Maurice ruffin we cast a shadowA lot of people want to call it speculative fiction, but it’s not really that. A full version of the interview can be found on the New Limestone Review’s podcast, “I Wanted to Also Ask about Ghosts”.Īsh Baker: You talked a little bit last night at the reading you gave on campus about how it’s hard to put this book into a category. Young Library at the University of Kentucky to talk about the book.Įditor’s note: This interview has been edited for length. Ash Baker, Art and Digital Media Editor, and Zeke Perkins, Editor-in-Chief, sat down with Maurice in the William T. Moving at an electric pace, the book explores fatherhood, racism, gentrification, and a whole lot else. Set in the near future, the narrator has made it his mission to erase his son’s blackness through a new technology called “demelanization”. Maurice Carlos Ruffin’s debut novel, We Cast a Shadow, follows one father’s quest to protect his mixed race son from white supremacy. If you’re trying to fit into someone else’s box, you’re gonna end up destroying yourselfĬonversation between Maurice Carlos Ruffin, Ash Baker, and Zeke Perkins 6/11/2023 0 Comments Evening in paradise lucia berlinBut perhaps Berlin’s itinerancy-geographic, vocational, and interpersonal-contributes to her most striking qualities as a writer: attention to the mutability of impressions, an appreciation and acceptance of contradictions, an acknowledgment of surprising coexistences.Įvening in Paradise, Berlin’s latest collection of short stories, and Welcome Home, her uncompleted memoir, consist of an array of contrasting, shifting, and intermingling tonalities. This life, lacking obvious coherence, was immured in luxury and “high society” in Santiago, financial and personal woes in Oakland, and relative peace and contentment in Boulder.Īsked in an interview, published by Gargoyle magazine in 1990, about how frequent geographical changes influenced her work, she said, “I have a lot to write about!” She continued, “But there is an episodic, impressionistic quality … sort of like snap-shots or postcards.” As a reader, tracing the contours of Berlin’s life is a difficult task. Lucia Berlin (1936–2004) lived an ever-shifting life characterized by disruptions, reversals, and returns. A wealthy dilettante: the men she married and divorced. Santiago, Chile El Paso, TX Albuquerque, NM New York, NY Oakland, CA Boulder, CO: these were a few of the places she lived.Ī sculptor. Schoolteacher, dressmaker, cleaning woman, ER clerk, switchboard operator, oral historian: these were a few of the jobs that occupied Lucia Berlin. 6/10/2023 0 Comments Skellig by David AlmondAs for Tim Roth - he is what it all hinges on. Though less significant roles, it's their talent that makes the family aspect of the film so much more convincing. Two actors I'd previously liked a lot (Kelly Macdonald and John Simm) play Michael's parents. She has the kind of brilliance that makes you look forward to seeing more of her. Skye Bennett, who played his friend, was also very good. He offers up a performance that's at once easy to identify with and totally believable. Bill Milner (as Michael), who I'd seen previously in "Is Anybody There?" is what focuses the film. There's that certain combination of improbability and cinematic style that always keeps it from being an experience that transcends the genre, but that comes with the territory. Rather, it's quite grounded in reality as natural feeling. Unlike a lot of other such adaptations to come out in the past few years, this film is never overwhelmed by special effects or action sequences. As far as children's fantasy films go, "Skellig" is excellent. 6/10/2023 0 Comments A year in provence with john thawSo, come and join and keep up-to-date with all that happens in the Morse universe.
