![]() ![]() Pete finds a clever use for the money, and revels, in solitary bliss, in Rothstein’s “nasty, funny, and sometimes wildly moving prose”. ![]() More than 30 years later, the chest is discovered by Pete Saubers, a boy whose family is in dire financial straits after his father fell victim to the villain of King’s previous thriller, Mr Mercedes. ![]() Hyperventilating with anticipation at the prospect of reading Jimmy’s story, but aware of the forces of law on his trail, he buries his treasure in an old chest, only to end up with a life sentence for another crime. A man who could do that doesn’t deserve to live,” says Morris, before fleeing the scene, notebooks and cash and (somewhat briefly, sadly for them) accomplices in tow. “You created one of the greatest characters in American literature, then shit on him. Jimmy is “an American icon of despair in a land of plenty”, according to Time he’s the star of Rothstein’s era-defining “Runner” trilogy, and coiner of the slogan that adorns the T-shirts of students across the US: “Shit don’t mean shit.” But, really, he’s heard rumours of the dozens of notebooks Rothstein has filled with his writing in the decades since he retired from public life entirely, and is desperate to find a new ending for Rothstein’s creation, Jimmy Gold. Morris has come to Rothstein’s remote New Hampshire house with a pair of thugs, ostensibly to rob the elderly author. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I recently read The Night Diary, which is currently the only book I am calling a favorite of this year and I’ve read 86 books so far. ![]() I am not the best at writing letters that are also going to be on display but you know, I am trying. (Updating my review with the letter I wrote to my great-grandma as part of the blog tour) Told through Nisha's letters to her mother, The Night Diary is a heartfelt story of one girl's search for home, for her own identity.and for a hopeful future. But even if her country has been ripped apart, Nisha still believes in the possibility of putting herself back together. The journey is long, difficult, and dangerous, and after losing her mother as a baby, Nisha can't imagine losing her homeland, too. When Papa decides it's too dangerous to stay in what is now Pakistan, Nisha and her family become refugees and embark first by train but later on foot to reach her new home. Half-Muslim, half-Hindu twelve-year-old Nisha doesn't know where she belongs, or what her country is anymore. The divide has created much tension between Hindus and Muslims, and hundreds of thousands are killed crossing borders. It's 1947, and India, newly independent of British rule, has been separated into two countries: Pakistan and India. ![]() In the vein of Inside Out and Back Again and The War That Saved My Life comes a poignant, personal, and hopeful tale of India's partition, and of one girl's journey to find a new home in a divided country ![]() ![]() Career īefore writing Cinder, Meyer wrote Sailor Moon fan fiction for ten years under the pen name of Alicia Blade.

That is, except for Babymouse: Mad Scientist, #14, in which we meet Squish, the amoeba. Babymouse is brave, creative and adventure prone. Girls were (and are) crazy about these books, which now total fifteen with number sixteen, Babymouse for President, due July, 2012. ![]() Besides the hugely popular Babymouse series of graphic novels, which are to reluctant and emerging girl readers what Captain Underpants is for boys, and the spinoff, Squish, she is the author of the very cool novel with lots of graphics, Middle School is Worse Than Meatloaf.īabymouse: Queen of the World was published in 2005 and I remember getting a lot of mileage out of it back when I was a reading tutor for second graders.

But much of what we know about Poe is wrong, the product of a biography written by one of his enemies in an attempt to defame the author’s name. He is seen as a morbid, mysterious figure lurking in the shadows of moonlit cemeteries or crumbling castles. ![]() Just as the bizarre characters in Poe’s stories have captured the public imagination so too has Poe himself. Poe’s reputation today rests primarily on his tales of terror as well as on his haunting lyric poetry. He is widely acknowledged as the inventor of the modern detective story and an innovator in the science fiction genre, but he made his living as America’s first great literary critic and theoretician. This versatile writer’s oeuvre includes short stories, poetry, a novel, a textbook, a book of scientific theory, and hundreds of essays and book reviews. His works have been in print since 1827 and include such literary classics as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Raven, and The Fall of the House of Usher. The name Poe brings to mind images of murderers and madmen, premature burials, and mysterious women who return from the dead. ![]() ![]() ![]() And how, by the time Johnson arrived, it had dwindled into a body that merely responded to executive initiatives, all but impervious to the forces of change. ![]() Calhoun had made it the center of governmental energy, the forum in which the great issues of the country were thrashed out. Caro introduces the story with a dramatic account of the Senate itself: how Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, and John C. It was during these years that all Johnson’s experience-from his Texas Hill Country boyhood to his passionate representation in Congress of his hardscrabble constituents to his tireless construction of a political machine-came to fruition. ![]() Master of the Senate, Book Three of The Years of Lyndon Johnson, carries Johnson’s story through one of its most remarkable periods: his twelve years, from 1949 to 1960, in the United States Senate.Īt the heart of the book is its unprecedented revelation of how legislative power works in America, how the Senate works, and how Johnson, in his ascent to the presidency, mastered the Senate as no political leader before him had ever done. ![]() ![]() ![]() Siddhartha, the founder of Buddhism, once said "Health is the most precious gain and contentment, the greatest wealth".Ĭontentment and the pursuit thereof have been a central theme across a diverse range of cultures, religions and philosophies throughout human history: Colloquially speaking, contentment could be a state of having accepted one's situation and is a milder and more tentative form of happiness. ![]() ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Ĭontentment is a relatively positive emotional state of satisfaction and inner peace.
