"A high-stakes romp full of interstellar hi-jinks and pulse-pounding action. It's witty and sharp, it sneaks in some social commentary, and it skates just on the right side of the line between clever absurdity and complete chaos." -Ilona Andrews, #1 New York Times bestselling author It's less Tanya Huff and more Phule's Company in the best possible way. Praise for The Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse: To make matters worse, Mops is starting to feel a little feral herself… (This might be Mops’ fault.) The survival of humanity-those few who weren’t turned to feral, shambling monsters by an alien plague-as well as the fate of all other non-Prodryans, will depend on what Captain Mops and the crew of the EDFS Pufferfish discover on the ringed planet of Tuxatl.īut the Jynx on Tuxatl are fighting a war of their own, and their world’s long-buried secrets could be more dangerous than the Prodryans. But if there’s one lesson Mops and her crew have learned, it’s that things like “training” and “being remotely qualified” are overrated. They were absolutely not trained to fight an interplanetary war with the xenocidal Prodryans or to make first contact with the Jynx, a race who might not be as primitive as they seem. Marion “Mops” Adamopoulos and her team were trained to clean spaceships. The third and final book of the Janitors of the Post-Apocalypse follows a group of unlikely heroes trying to save the galaxy from a zombie plague. William Carlos Williams, “ The Red Wheelbarrow” But for now, happy reading (and re-reading): Finally, despite the headline, I’m sure there are many, many iconic poems out there that I’ve missed-so feel free to extend this list in the comments. I also excluded book-length poems, because they’re really a different form. NB that I limited myself to one poem per poet-which means that the impetus for this list actually gets bumped for the widely quoted (and misunderstood) “The Road Not Taken,” but so it goes. (What makes a poem iconic? For our purposes here, it’s primarily a matter of cultural ubiquity, though unimpeachable excellence helps any case.) So for those of you who were not present for our epic office argument, I have listed some of them here. Turns out, despite frequent (false) claims that poetry is dead and/or irrelevant and/or boring, there are plenty of poems that have sunk deep into our collective consciousness as cultural icons. Today is the anniversary of the publication of Robert Frost’s iconic poem “ Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening,” a fact that spurred the Literary Hub office into a long conversation about their favorite poems, the most iconic poems written in English, and which poems we should all have already read (or at least be reading next). As she is about to step out, the hitchhiker appears from under her car, completely mangled from the trip, still uttering the same words over and over again: "Thanks for the ride, lady!". Annie finally makes it home before her husband. She wakes up a while later and thinks the trip was only a dream. Annie eventually loses control of her car, she drives into a tree, knocking herself out. During all the excitement, the hitchhiker even shows Annie a message that says, "You killed me!". The frightened Annie speeds off in terror, but everywhere she goes, the hitchhiker always reappears and becomes her pursuer and tormentor throughout the trip, as she repeatedly runs him over, shoots him, hurls him off the top of her car, slams him into trees, etc., as he only gets more and more battered and bloody without dying. Miles away from the scene, the hitchhiker Annie killed suddenly appears waving her down, appears outside her window and utters, "Thanks for the ride, lady!" He was played by Tom Wright.Īs Annie Lansing drives by in her car, she accidentally kills a hitchhiker and speeds off. The Hitchhiker is a character in the 1987 Stephen King horror anthology film Creepshow 2, in the segment of the same title. Thanks for the ride, lady! Thanks for the ride! Tom Wright Source Images of The Hitchhiker “ Sadie believes this decision to take her sister to this party will be fine, especially because she’ll be the designated driver. She has a job and she and Lulu have their own place. But for the most part, Carla’s pulled things together. Carla has a bit of a history - she’s been in trouble before, and she was a teen mom to a daughter named Lulu. Sadie and her older sister Carla find themselves in a bad place one night, after Carla convinces Sadie to come out to a party with her and be her designated driver. When I was doing my research for it, I ran across a book coming out in October by Steve Watkins called Juvie, which I immediately ordered for the library and put a hold on.Īnd I am so glad that I did. In early September, I wrote a post over at Book Riot featuring YA books about teens serving time. "One of the most talked about books of the year" - Teen Vogue like any odyssey worth embarking on, what the heroine-and the reader-finds along the way is far more interesting than we ever could have expected." - Entertainment Weekly "It's a breath of fresh air when a novel like David Arnold's Mosquitoland bucks the usual classifications and stands defiantly alone. speaks to the sweetness of life, the courage of love and the blinkers that adolescents may need to remove to see what is truly around them." - Wall Street Journal "David Arnold's sparkling, startling, laugh-out-loud debut. "David Arnold combines brio with compassion in this captivating first novel, which holds surprises, big and small, right to the end. Mosquitoland stings in all the right places, which is why it will no doubt be many teenagers' new favorite book and win over the crustiest old-timer, too." - USA Today "Arnold proves his worth as a top-notch storyteller on his first literary go-round, which is reminiscent of Ferris Bueller's Day Off if done by John Hughes with Jack Kerouac.

Men and Little Miss Series) by Roger Hargreaves. It gave the characters a bit more depth to them and made them a little more likable. I loved the crows in this book though, I love how caring they are towards Magpie and how they treat her like one of their own, the dialogue was also a good if not risky idea, as not many people can understand the aye's, nays and kens of the Scottish language. However in this story it never worked in favour and instead made this book long winded and hard to convince oneself to pick up the damn book and finish it.Īt times this book was good and I found myself wondering what was going to happen next eagerly turning the page.to find Im back to reading something of no interest whatsoever. While the plot was a gripping idea the actual story was.boring.Īfter reading Daughter of Smoke and Bone I knew that Laini Taylor was one for making poetry out of words, thus making the story longer. However the book just seemed to go on and on and on and on and on and. There's a new problem in her fun filled world and its called the Blackbringer and its going to destroy Dreamdark if Magpie cant stop it! Faeries of Dreamdark: Blackbringer has a great concept with Magpie Windwich being a Devil Hunting fairy who travels with crows around the land to capture the escaped snags and put them back in their bottles. The next book should fill us in on how the daughter followed her own heart. See more ideas about ww2, love story, ww2 soldiers. I wish there had been more on the author’s mighty struggle, only briefly told, to overcome her own challenges.

Army Air Force wartime missions fascinating, especially the treacherous Hump flights over the Himalayan Mountains to resupply Chinese and U.S. The clarity of the wartime-era photographs in this book is remarkable the pictures of major players lend a vivid 40s vibe. We also see family dysfunction and misunderstandings, tragedies, and bureaucratic bumbling about the most sensitive of events. As her mother’s life unfolds on the page, we appreciate the ambitions, hopes, and courage of the Greatest Generation. In If My Heart Had Wings, Nadine Taylor uncovers a “story of secrets, lies, a love that never died and a woman’s long journey to self-discovery and fulfillment.” Spurred on by the discovery of her mother’s first wartime marriage, the author goes into overdrive, seeing her parents in a completely new way, carried away by romantic visions, and eager to research World War II. It could just be because I’ve been checking out Flipbacks in all of their tiny cuteness with their almost nonexistent margins and lack of wasted space but this book seemed to be the opposite. The cover of the book is gorgeous with the beach view and including all the integral aspects of movie night but it’s the format on the inside that kept grabbing my attention. I just need to digress for a moment before I really start because it’s something I keep thinking about. We can sense that there is more going on than is stated but that information comes to us slowly throughout the book some early on and some not until quite late in the game. The prologue was from matriarch Lolly Weller’s point of view as we watched events of fifteen years ago – the events that set the scene for the book while retaining ambiguity. The Meryl Streep Movie Club is written in the third person but still from different perspectives. She is an award-winning actress with over 50 screen roles in movies of many genres that will evoke countless emotional reactions and this novel is a tribute to that talent. The debut novel of Mia March has recently been released, I am thinking that would make it perfectly timed for a northern hemisphere summer, which sums up the setting quite well.Īuthor Mia March is a big fan of Meryl Streep for her beauty, her grace, her talent and her range. |
