![]() ![]() imagine reading 16 chapters of them spending their "one night stand" i was bored out of my mind bc there wasn't any smut either. i mean genuinely nothing dark nothing happening. the next 50% were just, oh? ok? but at least kal showed up <3 the only reason why this book is getting 2 stars is for kal. the first 50% is all fluff and cheesiness and just fucking boring. i wouldn't have known it was a dark romance book if the blurb didn't have say it was. ![]() This book literally was the most BORING book out there. was the plot ehhh in the first book? yes but at least the smut was good and the characters were loveable. Where do i fucking begin? i've never been more disappointed with a book especially since i liked the first book. “And you, Riley fucking Kelly, are beautiful in a way that’d make the constellations weep.” ![]() “You have scars, but they don’t have you.” I’m not sure if either of us is breathing anymore. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() At his grandfather’s, Peter suddenly has a rush of anxiety and realizes that it was a big mistake to leave Pax behind. It is further revealed that the father is about to go into the war, and he leaves the boy with his grandfather. He clearly doesn’t want to leave the fox behind, but succumbs to his father’s pressure, throws Pax’s favorite toy soldier into the forest and gets into the car to leave.

After that was over I thought, “I guess I’ll stick around and write a novel,” and since I was 23 I went into it without a plan and just waited for the novel to bite me. ![]() After I graduated from college, I moved to southern Vietnam and I spent a year teaching English. I think that the roots coming out of the kernel started before I even thought I was writing a novel. I like that you used the seed metaphor because I do think this is kind of a tree novel. What was the first seed of the idea for this book? What couldn’t you stop thinking about that led to creating this story? ![]() Each new character and timeline brings the reader from colonial mansions to ramshackle zoos, from sweaty nightclubs to the jostling seats of motorbikes, from ex-pat flats to sizzling back-alley street carts as they come one step closer to understanding what binds them all. Part puzzle, part revenge tale, part ghost story, Build Your House Around My Body spins half a century of Vietnamese history and folklore into the story of two young women who go missing decades apart, linked together by the history of possessed bodies and possessed lands. Scott Williamson, Café and Bar Manager, interviewed Violet Kupersmith, author of Build Your House Around My Body, in celebration of being shortlisted for the 2021 First Novel Prize. ![]() ![]() ![]() They were as opposite as fire and ice, yet I ached for them equally. Ryder Ashcroft, a blue-eyed, tattooed, and pierced bad boy, turns Amber off immediately-that is, until he kisses her, stealing a piece of her heart, her soul. It doesn’t take long for him to consume her every thought, her every breath. A green-eyed smooth talker, he instantly attracts Amber. They became my addiction, each a needle to my next hit, my high.īrock Cunningham’s appeal is dizzying, a potent force Amber can’t deny. ![]() In the time it takes to cross the university’s dining hall, she meets two men who bring color, air, and light to her darkened world. An orphaned outsider, she is desperate to start fresh the moment she walks onto campus. They were a storm I never saw coming, an unforeseen heartbreak on the edge of a dangerous cliff.Īmber Moretti’s life changes in the span of minutes. From the New York Times bestselling author of Collide and Pulse comes a gritty new novel about a shattered young woman who unexpectedly falls for two best friends. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It takes brains and courage to challenge him, which Sogolon does for reasons of her own.īoth a brilliant narrative device-seeing the story told in Black Leopard, Red Wolf from the perspective of an adversary and a woman-as well as a fascinating battle between different versions of empire, Moon Witch, Spider King delves into Sogolon’s world as she fights to tell her own story. It is said that Aesi works so closely with the king that together they are like the eight limbs of one spider. It’s also the story of a century-long feud-seen through the eyes of a 177-year-old witch-that Sogolon had with the Aesi, chancellor to the king. ![]() In Moon Witch, Spider King, Sogolon takes center stage and gives her own account of what happened to the boy, and how she plotted and fought, triumphed and failed as she looked for him. In Black Leopard, Red Wolf, Sogolon the Moon Witch proved a worthy adversary to Tracker as they clashed across a mythical African landscape in search of a mysterious boy who disappeared. From Marlon James, author of the bestselling National Book Award finalist Black Leopard, Red Wolf, the second book in the Dark Star trilogy, his African Game of Thrones. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is obvious that she has changed the rules of the game. Hopkinson’s Caribbean-flavoured fantasies – with their sing-song accents and ironic phrasings, their futuristic posturings and historical intent, attract and startle sci-fi readers. Over the phone from Vancouver, where she is currently a writer-in-residence at the University of British Columbia, one can hear in her voice the dancing rhythms of her various island homes – and the source for the arresting music of her prose. ![]() ![]() Her second book, Midnight Robber, published in 2000, earned Hugo and Nebula nominations and was named a New York Times notable book of the year. She is the author of three stunningly original novels that have earned her a following of avid fans – and critical acclaim. Nalo Hopkinson was born in Jamaica in 1960 and lived in several Caribbean countries and the United States before settling in Canada in 1975. “Did Delany give you permission to write?” “So what was it that made you cry?” I asked. Also, a man who in the Caribbean we would call mad. “Delany’s protagonist is a character who represents everything the mainstream world tells you is bad,” she told me recently. She had read Delany’s novel Dhalgren and had been mightily impressed. This was back in the early 1990s, when Hopkinson first considered embarking upon a writing career. When Nalo Hopkinson, Canada’s popular fantasy fiction writer, first learned that her favourite sci-fi novelist, Samuel R. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The sweeping shots of forests, mountains, and recovered animal populations are accented with a folk-heavy soundtrack, with Simon & Garfunkel’s “The Boxer” used for particularly heart-wrenching effect. Sweet Tooth Book Two collects issues 13-25, a pinup gallery from some of the comics industry's top talents and an introduction by colorist Jos Villarrubia. His vision of suburban security for his chosen few, a callback to the tidy nightmare the Singhs lived in during season 1, is the dark alternative to the natural beauty this show revels in. Written and illustrated by Jeff Lemire (Descender, Green Arrow), Sweet Tooth is an exploration of kindness and cruelty in a dangerous post-apocalyptic world. Apparently his army consists of soldiers, personal tailors for his elaborate outfits, and graphic designers who produce his ‘50s-style propaganda posters, but if you don’t think too hard about how they were made the imagery is highly evocative. ![]() It’s a particularly strong metaphor for the conflict between young climate activists and the adults they believe are sacrificing the future to maintain their present comfort, given that the heroes of Sweet Tooth are the adults who acknowledge that they must make way for the hybrid children to inherit the Earth.Ībbott, meanwhile, represents regressive ideology, promising not only a return to the time before the Sick but to an idealized past that never really existed. Yet Sweet Tooth works as a fairy tale about the trauma of global change that continues to feel highly relevant in these uncertain times. ![]() ![]() Typically childhood friends’ stories are not my thing, but I enjoyed Nova and Lyla’s story. I’ve been waiting to get to Inked in Lies in the Fallen men series for a while now, I’ve heard so many good things, and I have to admit I needed to know more about Nova.

So when they needed me most, I offered the only thing of value I could use to help them.Īnd when helping them meant putting my life on the line, Nova had to decide just how much he was willing to do to get me out alive. But I couldn’t turn my back on him or The Fallen MC. ![]() He would never love me, at least not the way I needed him to. I was a goner as girl to a man they called Casanova for a reason. ![]() He had tattoos on his hands and wickedness tucked in his grin. Handsome as sin, older in a way that meant forbidden. ![]() ![]() ![]() But if something you learn or observe or imagine can be set down and saved, and if you can see your life reflected in previous lives, and can imagine it reflected in subsequent ones, you can begin to discover order and harmony. It means that everything we experience unfolds without a pattern, and life is just a wild, random, baffling occurrence, a scattering of notes with no melody. If you gaze into that bleakness even for a moment, the sum of life becomes null and void, because if nothing lasts, nothing matters. I fear not just that I, personally, will be forgotten, but that we are all doomed to being forgotten-that the sum of life is ultimately nothing that we experience joy and disappointment and aches and delights and loss, make our little mark on the world, and then we vanish, and the mark is erased, and it is as if we never existed. “The idea of being forgotten is terrifying. ![]() |
