But I don't for a skinny minute believe that somehow you can look at someone and know that's the person for you. And YES, sometimes it works out that those lusty individuals actually end up falling in love for real, because odds are that sort of shit would have to happen every now and then. Except he doesn't really love her because love at first sight is really lust at first sight. I'm going to spoil the entire book, so you've been warned! I don't think I'm clever enough to find a way to talk about this one without revealing spoilers, so if you'd like to remain in the dark about what happens, for the love of god stop reading right now. In fact, it's quite a bit different from the vast majority of the romance novels that I've read. ![]() Now, I will be the first to admit that a lot of Quinn's books blend together in my head, but this one is completely different. I have finished the entire Bridgerton series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Both the ‘zine and the show carry the name “Pagan” in their titles, which implies a self-conscious, rebellious narcissism, but most of the stories in this collection are in fact middle-class traditional, taking place in summer camps, Elvis’ Graceland, college buildings and ordinary suburban homes. Credit Serpent’s Tail, consequently, for believing that Pagan Kennedy deserves a mainstream audience beyond the Boston area, where she produces a magazine and a cable television show. ![]() ![]() Don’t be put off, though “Stripping” is literary fiction of high quality, the sort of story collection that the big, commercial houses should publish but frequently avoid. String together the names of the author, book and publisher-Pagan, “Stripping,” and Serpent’s Tail, respectively-and you’re likely to think of latter-day witches and furtive, canbalistic rituals. STRIPPING and Other Stories by Pagan Kennedy (Serpent’s Tail/High Risk Books: $10.99 paper 169 pp.). ![]() The slade house book5/10/2023 ![]() This was a pastiche of second-rate fantasy fiction that actually read, quite often, like second-rate fantasy fiction. His gifts were put in service of a plot - there were psychic powers, creepy villains, an epic showdown between good and evil - that felt soft and formulaic. ![]() His most recent novel, “ The Bone Clocks” (2014), was nearly as ambitious but felt like a misfire. Intellect, feeling, narrative brawn - his kit bag opened and both the Johnstown flood and a rescue skiff poured out. It seemed, in that novel, that there was nothing this writer could not do. Mitchell’s best-known and most ambitious novel is “ Cloud Atlas” (2004), a suite of interfolded novellas that skip purposefully between eras and temperaments. ![]() Characters recur from one of his books to the next. David Mitchell’s novels are flecked with meaningful coincidences, to borrow Carl Jung’s description of synchronicity. ![]() Star wars jedi academy the phantom bully5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Future installments–and further disasters–will be most welcome." -Kirkus Reviews, Jedi Academy is a NY Times Bestseller, has been nominated for an Eisner, and is an ALA Top Ten Quick Pick title.

The strength of the novels is the episodic stories that provide coloring to the important characterization we want from them. This one has the puzzle, but nothing much else. ![]() For example, Memory moves us forward in Miles’s life and Simon Illyan’s life, while also providing an interesting puzzle to solve. Like Cetaganda, it’s a one-off mystery story told through close mystery perspective, and like Cetaganda, while Miles and we learn information that provides interesting insights into the world at large, except for the epilogue, nothing meta-arc happens in this novel. ![]() He’s able to stumble onto a group of somewhat rogue cryoworkers who not only is able to help him on his feet, but also provides him with an alternative set of mysteries to investigate and provide key information about his own case.įor the first time in a long time, this novel feels not nearly as good as others in the series, for a few reasons. While doing so, he is stunned into oblivion and we actually begin the novel in his consciousness, which is completely frazzled, having hallucinations, and chucked into the underworld looking for clues. Miles, now 35 or thereabouts is on an outer planet whose main economy is cryogenics investigating a rash of recent economic moves by factions from Komarr. ![]() The most recent and I think perhaps last Miles Vorkosigan novel. ![]() Startup by Jerry Kaplan5/10/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() He is an inventor on more than a dozen patents. ![]() He also teaches Social and Economic Impact of Artificial Intelligence as a Visiting Lecturer in Stanford's top-ranked Computer Science Department.
