Augustus everett book5/11/2023 January's father died unexpectedly and then she learned that he was cheating. Henry had a lot of heavy topics strewn throughout this book, and it was interesting to see the characters work through their burdens or problems or just plain baggage. They both had issues they had to work through on themselves before they could finally commit to a relationship. I thought January and Augustus' relationship was really sweet. It's not a hard-core enemies to lovers, but there is a definite dislike-to-lovers trope. To cure their block, they offer to switch genres and write something the other would. The cabin is also right next to Augustus Everett another writer (although, his writing is more logical and factual) who she doesn't really like. A cabin he bought because he was cheating on her mom. She has been experiencing major writer's block and when her dad recently passes away, she now has to get his cabin ready to sell. So, let's get into it!īeach Read is about January Andrews who is a romance writer. I do feel bad about posting a definite beach/summer read in September, but here we are. Hello everyone and welcome back to Cover to Cover! I am back with another Emily Henry book review.

Greg Nicotero did that, so all that's there, and I'm hoping that I can still get that - even if you dampen it down from my darkness, if you've got this look, then I think you'll keep the seriousness of what we're trying to do. 58 books based on 71 votes: Emerge by Tobie Easton, Facsimile by Vicki L. Weavil, Scardust by Xan van Rooyen, There Once Were Stars by Melanie McFarlane. I think the visual of the character itself will dictate part of it, and we designed that character a couple of years ago. 58 books based on 71 votes: Emerge by Tobie Easton, Facsimile by Vicki L. I do know who's involved, I do know the direction it's heading through right now. So somebody else's definition of mature and sophisticated and dark may not match what I want, but at some point, if we end up consummating that deal, then they have the right to get their money back. If we can pull it off, it will be a big deal, financially, and once you get into those conversations, they're going to want to do it in a way that they can then get their money back. But the play we're trying for, and we'll see whether it works, and we'll know by the end of this year - we're taking a pretty big moonshot of what we think we can pull off in Hollywood. "If you ask me, I'd make it ugly, dark, make children cry. We've got a different group of people on board, and they might not be as darkly bent as I am," McFarlane admitted. He can't, after all, give that much away before the movie is funded and actively moving forward. Of course, it has also been five years of making vague statements that fans don't fully understand.

The grey wolf throne5/11/2023 One issue that I took note of with these books (literally, I took a note, which is why I'm mentioning it right now.) was that the stories are all really more plot driven, not relationship. Similar to the first book, these three all had the same strange feeling of while you're reading it, it's intriguing, but when you put them down there's no magnetic pull forcing every thought to be around the plot and characters. This is just going to be a basic overview of how I felt about these books- and a little spoilers below to discuss some of my particular feelings on events that happened during them. I read these books back in August and have altogether forgotten the minute details that would make this review wholesome. This is not going to be the review that you deserve. I'm going to be really honest with you all right now. Yet, Chima still managed to blend these two very different categories seamlessly. Like you don't really expect there to be high school-esk teen drama when there are such high stakes, and yet here we are in the Exiled Queen, following our cast of characters all attending the same academy- whether they know it or not. What high fantasy about a hunted princess ends up in a school. It's such a strange combination. What more could you want in a series?Ĭinda Williams Chima's high fantasy series is nothing like any high fantasy you might imagine. An action filled story, set in a fantastical world with compelling characters and complex relationships.

Reviews of a confederacy of dunces5/11/2023 Humor, more than various types of serious plots, is a hit-or-miss affair. Humorous books seem to be ones that some people love and others hate. The reason he always fails is said best by his mother near the end of the novel, "You have learned everything except how to be a human being." Ignatius is not just a physical grotesque, he is an emotional grotesque as well - he is us stripped of the veneer of civilisation, a reveller at the carnival. He may want to re-make the world in his image but at least he wants to change it, to better it. It's interesting that while everyone picks up on how repulsive Ignatius is no-one seems to have noticed that Ignatius is also the only person who has plans, no matter how misguided or egotistical they are, to help others most of the other characters in the novel only care about their own material needs. The novel is essentially a carnival in the truest sense, a celebration of the grotesque. Rather than being someone to be redeemed (he can't be redeemed through art anyway as the character believes that there is no such thing as modern art), he is our guide through the carnival. Ignatius is a monster he's supposed to be a monster.

Franny and zooey sparknotes5/11/2023 One after another, and forever, it seems. There is no grown-up there besides himself, and his task is to catch the kids as they exit the field, before they fall over the edge. The field is perilously close to a cliff edge. He recalls (incorrectly, his interlocutor tells him) a line from a Robert Burns poem: “If a body catch a body coming through the rye.” (The correct line, it turns out, is “meet a body,” but Caulfield continues.) What he’d like to be is someone out on the edge of a field of rye where all these kids are playing. It is a poignant vision from which the novel draws its title. In this context, Caulfield imagines another scene of what he would really like to be, a scene in which nonphoniness (his authenticity) would be secured. “How would you know you weren’t being a phony? The trouble is, you wo ul dn ’ t.” He considers that there might be some good to being a lawyer, but he doubts that even if he really were committed to saving the innocent, he could ever know if it was in fact for the moral good or because he wanted everyone to think so. Caulfield, in a climactic moment, even wonders if he himself might become a phony. Salinger’s most famous character, the worst insult he gives in Catcher in the Rye (1951) is to call somebody a “phony.” The word appears about three dozen times in the narrative, and it covers just about everyone. In spite of all the famous cursing by Holden Caulfield, J.D.

The name of the rose pages5/10/2023 For Eco’s novel, fluidly translated by William Weaver, is not only an entertaining narrative of a murder investigation in a monastery in 1327. In the U.S., where the Middle Ages are less modish than in Europe, the book’s popularity depends on how much medieval esoterica readers are willing to slog through to reach the heart of the story. By far the most successful of his writings, The Name of the Rose won the two top literary awards in Italy, the Premio Strega and the Premio Viareggio, and has sold 500.000 copies there since 1980. So it is with Umberto Eco’s first novel, The Name of the Rose, a Sherlock Holmesian fantasy in a medieval setting.Įco, 51, is the author of a study of the sources of James Joyce’s language, as well as more than a dozen other scholarly works, including The Role of the Reader: Explorations in the Semiotics of Texts (Indiana University Press 1979). When a renowned Italian expert in semiotics, the arcane science of signs, sets out to write a thriller, the resulting fiction is bound to bristle with more obscure clues, mysterious ciphers and symbolic happenings than were ever conjured up by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
