![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “I have always been entranced by the mythological Arthur story-and by Nimue, in particular. It will be published in fall 2019 by Simon & Schuster. Wheeler is writing the book, with Miller providing full-color and black-and-white illustrations. Over the course of her journey, Nimue will become a symbol of courage and rebellion against the terrifying Red Paladins, and their complicit King Uther.Ĭursed, the TV series, is created by Miller and Wheeler who will executive produce. After her mother’s death, she finds an unexpected partner in Arthur, a young mercenary, in a quest to find Merlin and deliver an ancient sword. REX/ShutterstockĬursed is a re-imagining of the Arthurian legend, told through the eyes of Nimue, a teenage heroine with a mysterious gift who is destined to become the powerful (and tragic) Lady of the Lake. This is believed to be the first time the same creative team will be writing a book and TV series based on it simultaneously as they get to explore the characters from the book in more detail on screen. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And all my favorite characters-Vi, Raine, and Gunner are there too. And it was brilliant! I loved the fast paced story telling of what the resistance is doing to resist the Thinkers and free their world and Jag’s and Zenn’s place in it. But no, Elana makes the amazing decision of telling the story from Jag’s and Zenn’s views. I just assumed that ABANDON would be from Vi’s point of view. I was worried she couldn’t top SURRENDER, where she told the story from Raine’s and Gunner’s point of view. Elana is an amazing writer and she blew me away again in this final book in her series. Today I’m thrilled to have Elana Johnson back to talk about her new book, ABANDON, which was released June 4, 2013. Please e-mail me by the end of Wednesday or I'll have to pick another winner. The winner of THE TOWN THAT DISAPPEARED is Kristin Lenz!Ĭongrats! E-mail me your address so I can have your book sent to you. The winner of HANDBOOK FOR DRAGONSLAYERS is Neurotic Workaholic! But it feels so much more relaxed.īefore I get to my awesome interview, I have a few winners to announce. ![]() Not that we're not busy with her swim schedule, work, volunteer swim coaching, and ACT prep course. And it felt great for her and me to slow down. This weekend we had some lazy family time and it was so much fun. Happy Monday! It's officially summer in my house. ![]() ![]() Here, she has teamed up with the incredibly talented illustrator Hui Qing Ang to bring us her first ever children’s book: an uplifting tale about overcoming gender dysphoria. We at Books and Bao are huge fans of Laura Kate Dale, as a video games critic, a memoirist, a podcaster, and as a transgender trailblazer. They’re also inspiring, imaginative tales and stories with valuable lessons to teach your children. These LGBTQ bedtimes stories to read right now are all glowing examples of the varied queer experiences so many of us go through. LGBTQ experiences are the epitome of variety they exist outside of the normal ways that many of us were taught to live, and they’re all the more beautiful for that. ![]() LGBTQ+ Bedtime Stories to Read to Your Little Ones A Tale of Two Mommies by Vanita Oelschlager and Mike Blanc.The Pirate Mums by Jodie Lancet-Grant and Lydia Corry.And Tango Makes Three by Justin Richardson, Peter Parnell, and Henry Cole.Me and My Dysphoria Monster by Laura Kate Dale and Hui Qing Ang. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The play is often read as a response and criticism to the sudden upsurge of Fascism and Nazism during the events preceding World War II, and explores the themes of conformity, culture, fascism, responsibility, logic, mass movements, mob mentality, philosophy and morality. Over the course of three acts, the inhabitants of a small, provincial French town turn into rhinoceroses ultimately the only human who does not succumb to this mass metamorphosis is the central character, Bérenger, a flustered everyman figure who is initially criticized in the play for his drinking, tardiness, and slovenly lifestyle and then, later, for his increasing paranoia and obsession with the rhinoceroses. ![]() The play was included in Martin Esslin's study of post-war avant-garde drama The Theatre of the Absurd, although scholars have also rejected this label as too interpretatively narrow. Rhinoceros ( French: Rhinocéros) is a play by Eugène Ionesco, written in 1959. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rather, the importance of this book comes from Tolentino’s shrewd portrayal of the problems in our internet-ridden world, our simultaneously self-obsessed and self-hating minds, and then her eventual and cruel reveal that there are no solutions after all. The incisiveness of the disparate, yet intertwined essays comes not necessarily from the nuanced and precise writing style, nor the unique content that seems so frighteningly relevant you wonder why you hadn’t thought of it yourself. ![]() Jia Tolentino writes nine pieces addressing drugs, religion, celebrity culture, modern-day feminism, and the wedding industry. T rick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion is a collection of essays that are all about - in some way or another - trying to exist in the 21st century. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This could be the topic sentence for the first quarter of this book: I'm serious about the "good dad" thing - this book makes you feel good just by being a good husband and father and not worrying that you aren't the Hollywood director you thought you'd be in high school. Queenan's dad was a nightmare and I give him accolades for making it out of that home without turning into a hardened criminal. ![]() If you were looking for a book to make you feel like you're a good father, you found it. There's a good story here, but there's so many detours you may give up on it before you get to your destination. Yes, I know his father is an alcoholic who beats him and that his mother is hiding down the way reading newspapers, but to hear it again and again still by page 115 doesn't make any sense. I'm halfway through it and it's just too damn long. This book was in dire need of a good editor. He takes pains to put in what he thinks are hilarious descriptions which tend to be overwritten, overwrought, and aimed primarily at making English professors titter. Joe Queenan isn't really all that funny in this book. ![]() If you haven't read this book, you may consider these points: This may be the first book I've put down in a good long time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You'll learn the meanings of over 120 Wiccan symbols and how you can magically use them. In this book you'll learn about magical tools, how to cast a circle, and how to raise magical power. Now - with the help of Living Wicca, one of the vital books for solitary Pagans - Wicca can fill your life too. For Scott, it was something that filled his life. Is that you? Are you working on your own? For many solitary Wiccans, the Craft is something they do for magic or for celebrations. Several of the books he wrote were aimed at solitary practitioners. One of the things author Scott Cunningham realized was that if Wicca was going to continue to expand, it needed to reach people who could not find groups to join. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She is also the author of the Flash Bang series, the Girl Duet, Real Duet, and Real Dirty Duet series, as well as the Mount and the Savage trilogies in addition to many more!
