6/23/2023 0 Comments Sorry bro taleen voskuniShe is trying to break out as a journalist but is only given puff pieces to work on. Nar lives at home and works for a TV station. Nar’s late father adored Trevor, and he seems to have seen his daughter’s dating Trevor as a positive in his pursuit of the idea of “Americanness.” He is also dead by the start of the book from a drunk driving accident in which he was the driver, which I will talk about more later on. These people have been together for five years, despite the fact that this boyfriend, Trevor, who is not Armenian, seems to dislike Armenian culture and openly mocks it. Our story opens with the protagonist Nar, who narrates the book, being proposed to by her long-time boyfriend. My least favorite thing in romance is when people are terrible at communicating, so this was frustrating for me, but I liked the depictions of cultural and family dynamics. However, readers should be prepared for a heroine who is prone to rash, impulsive actions, and who is not great at communicating. Sorry, Bro is a book about embracing the complicated aspects of different identities, and I had a lot of fun with the family dynamics, the sense of place (it’s set in San Francisco), and the Armenian culture.

ANNE CALHOUN, award-winning author of Under the Surface 'Emotionally riveting. 6/22/2023 0 Comments The tollbooth phantomThese doldrums, like those in The Phantom Tollbooth, took many of us by surprise. I’ve thought of this passage often over the last year, and somehow it felt fittingly mournful that its author, Norton Juster, died just as we were reaching the sad milestone of a year of pandemic life-though, of course, that anniversary is slightly different for everyone. When Milo objects that everyone thinks, they shoot back that most of the time, in fact, people don’t, and in fact that’s why Milo is in the Doldrums. Its inhabitants, the Lethargarians, are firmly wedded to their torpor, sticking to a strict schedule of doing nothing at all and telling Milo that thinking is against the law (“Ordinance 175389-J: It shall be unlawful, illegal, and unethical to think, think of thinking, surmise, presume, reason, meditate, or speculate while in the Doldrums”). He has strayed into this land of stasis by failing to pay attention to where he’s going, and, an inhabitant tells him slowly, it’s called The Doldrums: “‘The Doldrums, my young friend, are where nothing ever happens and nothing ever changes.’” The world loses all its color, everything becoming “grayer and monotonous.” He feels drowsy, his car won’t move, and finally he comes to a dead stop. In The Phantom Tollbooth, Milo-the child-hero driving through a world of word and number play-accidentally enters a low, dull place. 6/22/2023 0 Comments Lamentation by cj sansomSansom has been consulted on the series, which is in the final stages of negotiation. The rest of the Shardlake books are expected to follow. The BBC have commissioned an adaptation of Dissolution with the actor Kenneth Branagh set to star as Shardlake.

You spend most of your time as Poirot wandering around the gorgeous environments looking for clues-hidden in cabinets, tucked into desk drawers, hidden behind paintings.
