Grammy Award–winning artist Keys co-authors a YA superhero graphic novel bearing the title of her hit song. Hits all the marks for an absorbing and high-spirited read. The girls are fourth-generation Mexican American on their mother’s side their father is a White Scottish immigrant. Point-of-view shifts between the siblings render both equally sympathetic. The action sequences are fast-paced, the magic is entertaining, and the narcissistic sorcerers are delightfully smug, evil-and fabulously dressed. This exciting, inclusive fantasy with a dash of romance brings lots of sassy dragon snark to the table. With their parents out of town, Eden calls high sorcerer Calla Thorn for help, leading her into danger and pitting sister against sister. Being friendly with dragons is a bad look for a dragon slayer, so how will she explain her way out of this one? After learning about her sister’s new dragon friend, Eden, who believes dragons are a scourge on humanity, decides she has to do something to save Dani. But when Dani has her first encounter with a real dragon, Nox, she ends up soul bonded to him. Of course there’s the little secret of her family’s being legendary dragon slayers-and some superfancy sorcerers coming to dinner. She had a summer job lined up working a zip line in the Smoky Mountains and an end-of-school-year party to attend. Coming from a long line of dragon slayers doesn’t mean that sisters Dani and Eden Rivera are on the same path: Are they destined to be enemies for eternity?ĭani had a normal life. 5/21/2023 0 Comments Norwegian wood by haruki murakamiHis passions colour his non-fiction output, from What I Talk About When I Talk About Running to Absolutely On Music, and they also seep into his novels and short stories, providing quotidian moments in his otherwise freewheeling flights of imaginative inquiry. Murakami writes with admirable discipline, producing ten pages a day, after which he runs ten kilometres (he began long-distance running in 1982 and has participated in numerous marathons and races), works on translations, and then reads, listens to records and cooks. His books became bestsellers, were translated into many languages, including English, and the door was thrown wide open to Murakami’s unique and addictive fictional universe. More followed, including A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, but it was Norwegian Wood, published in 1987, which turned Murakami from a writer into a phenomenon. That first novel, Hear the Wind Sing, won a new writers’ award and was published the following year. One April day, the impulse to write a novel came to him suddenly while watching a baseball game. In 1978, Haruki Murakami was twenty-nine and running a jazz bar in downtown Tokyo. 5/21/2023 0 Comments The Academy by Emmaline AndrewsUna novela acerca de la depresión, que es sin duda una historia divertida.

5/21/2023 0 Comments Carrie by Stephen KingHowever if you are looking for a terrifying but also moving film, Carrie is just right for you. There is so much more to the story than: -Booooo! -Aaaaaa! So, if you want to see a "scary movie", go see Scream or some other shallow horror film. When you see this movie you can really tell the difference between an artist like him an some cheap Hollywood writer (Scream?). Concerning the script, all the credit goes of course to Stephen King. The scary parts may be rare but when they are there you just can't move from your seat! The acting is also excellent, Sissy Spacek of course deserving most of the credit, but that is not to say that the other actors aren't great too. You can feel the girl hurting, you hate her mother, you dislike her friends! This movie wasn't made for cheap scares: every scene is brilliantly captured. I honestly don't understand the "it's not scary" mentality! Now, whether you want to call this horror film or thriller or whatever else is up to you, but I think Carrie's scope cannot reaches beyond just one genre! It is a thriller, but at the same time a very humane movie. I just came back from a special showing of Carrie in the student's cinema of my university and I must say one thing: THANK YOU to the director, for this is one of the best, most moving films I've ever seen. I’ll start by echoing what many other reviewers have said: this story is not as developed as it should be. In the case of The Sleeper and the Spindle, Neil Gaiman teams up with Chris Ridell to provide a spin on Sleeping Beauty along with beautiful illustrations. Fortunately, a great many authors have taken to penning their versions of these classics. Hollywood is incredibly talented at messing up its attempts to retell fairytales (although I have to admit, I really enjoyed Disney’s new Cinderella, and Maleficient wasn’t bad either). The popularity of such a practice fluctuates, but they are always there, beneath the surface, lurking and awaiting their next moment in the spotlight. They are meant to be adapted, retold, reimagined with each new generation and new age. Fairytales are, in some ways, cultural bedrock. Fairytale retellings are sooooooo in these days, and probably with good reason. 5/20/2023 0 Comments If women rose rootedPart autobiography, part mythical Celtic storytelling, part exploration of contemporary women deeply rooted in the land and part guide for shaping our journey for the future. If Women Rose Rooted is a beautifully written, honest and moving read. The book arrived, I had a stack of books to read already but felt called to start If Women Rose Rooted and I couldn’t put it down. I was drawn to purchase it and find out for myself. It had consistently great reviews with 5 stars. I am deep in a process of researching, studying, learning and self-development when If Women Rose Rootedcaught my eye. I sincerely hope every woman who can read has the time and space to read it.’ ~ Manda Scott, Boudica and Into The Fire This is an anthem for all we could be, an essential book for this, the most critical of recent times. Truly, it’s mind-blowing in the most profound and exhilarating sense. 5/20/2023 0 Comments The castle franzTracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel.
