![]() ![]() This is a wonderful and very important story. And there was one particular scene when I felt super tense just waiting for the outcome! But this was not the case, the minute I started listening I didn't want it to stop and I wanted to know how things would end.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? The right combination of story + narration is a tough one to find, and listening to an audiobook when you don't like how the voice of the narrator sounds and/or when it feels like it's not a good match for the book can be disheartening. What about Jamie Clayton’s performance did you like? Gracefully Grayson, because it is also a great Middle Grade story about a trans kid. What other book might you compare George to and why? Jamie does a great job of bringing this story to life! She provides a narration filled with the right emotions and an accurate tone of voice. Yes! Jamie Clayton is the right voice for GEORGE. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? ![]() ![]() ![]() Howard Jacobson was born in Manchester, England, and educated at Cambridge. After this, his whole sense of who and what he is will slowly and ineluctably change. And it's that very evening, at exactly 11:30pm, as Treslove hesitates a moment outside the window of the oldest violin dealer in the country as he walks home, that he is attacked. Better, perhaps, to go through life without knowing happiness at all because that way you had less to mourn? Treslove finds he has tears enough for the unbearable sadness of both his friends' losses. ![]() It's a sweetly painful evening of reminiscence in which all three remove themselves to a time before they had loved and lost a time before they had fathered children, before the devastation of separations, before they had prized anything greatly enough to fear the loss of it. ![]() Now, both Libor and Finkler are recently widowed, and with Treslove, his chequered and unsuccessful record with women rendering him an honorary third widower, they dine at Libor's grand, central London apartment. ![]() Despite a prickly relationship and very different lives, they've never quite lost touch with each other - or with their former teacher, Libor Sevcik, a Czechoslovakian always more concerned with the wider world than with exam results. Julian Treslove, a professionally unspectacular and disappointed BBC worker, and Sam Finkler, a popular Jewish philosopher, writer and television personality, are old school friends. ![]() ![]() ![]() Michele is soon leading a double life, struggling to balance her contemporary high school world with her escapes into the past. And she finds herself falling for him, into an otherworldly, time-crossed romance. ![]() There, in the midst of the glamorous Gilded Age, Michele meets the young man with striking blue eyes who has haunted her dreams all her life – a man she always wished was real, but never imagined could actually exist. In their old Fifth Avenue mansion filled with a century’s worth of family secrets, Michele discovers a diary that hurtles her back in time to the year 1910. When tragedy strikes Michele Windsor’s world, she is forced to uproot her life and move across the country to New York City, to live with the wealthy, aristocratic grandparents she’s never met. ![]() Enjoy this chapter sampler for Timeless written by Alexandra Monir. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Abandoned by her parents on a crowded street when she was four, the little girl is shuttled from orphanage to orphanage, foster-family to foster-family. It is an unwelcoming world for an orphan like Nadia Stepan. On this urban planet the only relief from overcrowding and the harsh rule of the big Agencies is the television in every living space, with its dreams of vanished waterfalls and the promise of virtual vacations in green spaces, won by the lucky few. There are no maps, no borders, no numbered years. In the coming centuries the world's population has exploded and covered the earth with cities, animals are nearly all gone and drought has taken over so that cloudy water is issued by the quart. The bestselling author of the highly praised novels The Color of Lightning, Stormy Weather, and Enemy Women pushes into new territory with this captivating and atmospheric story set in the far future-a literary dystopian tale resonant with love and hope ![]() ![]() We have to be much more alert to words and the way they are used and this simple fact has been so obscured that we need to remind ourselves of it by books such as this. Reading poems is an activity different from reading, say, a newspaper report or popular fiction. What necessity, then, for a survey such as this? First, because we are usually so lazy in our reading that we need to be reminded that poems demand a different sort of attention. industry, and he expresses himself with a directness and eloquence which should have no need of the intermediary services of the critic. Larkin’s aim was to address himself to readers, not to the lit. ![]() Larkin’s poems hardly need explication for they offer themselves with such an easy grace and clarity that the critic is rightly made redundant by them. A critical study of Philip Larkin’s poetry - even such a slim and modest one as this - treads on thin ice. ![]() ![]() ![]() Next up on his list is karate, so she’s off to her first class. Part of her new outlook is completing Jamie’s birthday list he started before his death. Her dream is an instant success, and everyone in her life, from her brother Finn to her best friend Molly, are right there with her, breathing a huge sigh of relief their Poppy is living again. Little by little, minute by minute she’s dragged herself out of heartache and depression, culminating in the opening of her new restaurant, The Maysen Jar. Poppy Maysen is a young widow, her husband murdered five years ago. You won’t regret one minute spent with these folks. Though theirs is a new release, I’m starting with The Birthday List, because if you become intrigued reading my review, start here. So once I finished that wonderful story, I couldn’t wait to revisit the characters I’d come to love while reading Molly and Finn’s book. ![]() What I didn’t realize at the time is LtM is a second book in a series. I haven’t read Devney Perry before, and when I came across her latest release, Letters to Molly, I was intrigued. ![]() Sandy M’s review of The Birthday List (The Maysen Jar, Book 1) by Devney Perry ![]() ![]() ![]() With minimal appearances from Batman throughout the run, GOTHAM CENTRAL demonstrated how well a police procedural could work in a world of super-villains and larger-than-life threats, given the appropriate treatment. ![]() Essentially Homicide: Life on the Street where the criminals are all costumed lunatics, GOTHAM CENTRAL focused on the nitty-gritty police work performed by its gigantic cast of detectives." -Entertainment Weekly "Critically acclaimed, if never a smash hit, GOTHAM CENTRAL was a distinctly grounded take on the Batman mythology filled with an ensemble cast who were particularly unlikely to show up in that month's issue of JUSTICE LEAGUE or SUPERMAN-imagine Hill Street Blues, but with the Joker showing up to cause mass terror every now and again. To say that Greg Rucka had a profound impact on DC Comics in the 21st Century is underselling things quite a bit. Praise for GOTHAM CENTRAL: "Compelling drama.a great example of the literary and artistic maturity of the graphic novel format." -School Library Journal "Outstanding.a deft mash-up of the super-hero saga and police procedural." -Booklist "This Greg Rucka/Ed Brubaker/Michael Lark monthly comic was short-lived but absolutely fantastic. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead, their lives are made up of sleepless nights, mounting bills, the pitying stares of "luckier" parents, and maybe worst of all, the what-ifs.

"Every expectant parent will tell you that they donït want a perfect baby, just a healthy one. ![]() What if Charlotte should have known earlier of Willowïs illness?

Everything changes, though, after a series of events forces Charlotte and her husband to confront the most serious what-ifs of all. Willow is Willow, in sickness and in health. Sheïs smart as a whip, on her way to being as pretty as her mother, kind brave, and for a five-year-old an unexpectedly deep source of wisdom. What if their child had been born healthy? But itïs all worth it because Willow is, well, funny as it seems, perfect. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Originally published in 1927, The Big Four is the fifth outing for Hercule Poirot and sees him reunited with his faithful Watson-like Hawkins, who narrates the madcap adventure, having returned, temporarily, from his sojourn in the Argentine, where he has picked up a wife. Because of her reputation, I persevered, expecting that it would get better, but the only moment of relief came when I reached the end and moved on to another book. OK, I understand that she is the best selling novelist of all time and regarded as the doyenne of crime fiction and that if popularity is any judge she is the bee’s knees, but if I had known that this book had been written by anyone other than her, I would have given into my desire to delete it from my Kindle after the opening couple of questions. Sometimes I wonder if I am missing something with Agatha Christie. A review of The Big Four by Agatha Christie – 230404 ![]() |
