Because as my best friend, you’re obligated to tell me.”Įven though I knew her boob was in her shirt, or at least I hoped so since her V-neck sweater was pretty low cut, my gaze dipped as I lowered my hand. ![]() “Are you on drugs?” Stacey asked in a low voice as she brushed thick bangs out of her dark eyes. I clamped my hand over my mouth, stifling a giggle as I squirmed in my seat. ![]() Her tongue flicked out, tickling the side of my neck. I forced a tight smile, knowing Bambi wasn’t done yet. I stiffened, resisting the urge to giggle like a hyena as she cruised up between my br**sts and rested her diamond-shaped head on my shoulder.įive more seconds passed while Stacey stared at me, her brows raised. Sliding along my stomach, the very active demonic snake tattoo was not a fan of sitting still for any length of time, especially not during a boring lecture on the food chain. Cleo moseyed on into biology class, flipped on the projector and turned off the lights, Bambi decided she was no longer comfortable where she was currently curled around my waist. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But when Alice’s grandmother, the reclusive author of a cult-classic book of pitch-dark fairy tales, dies alone on her estate, the Hazel Wood, Alice learns how bad her luck can really get: her mother is stolen away―by a figure who claims to come from the Hinterland, the cruel supernatural world where her grandmother’s stories are set. Seventeen-year-old Alice and her mother have spent most of Alice’s life on the road, always a step ahead of the uncanny bad luck biting at their heels. And the book of the month for February is THE HAZEL WOOD BY MELISSA ALBERT! This is a highly anticipated release and I’ve heard so many good things about this book! I already own the paperback copy of this book with the exact same cover which is a shame… Because now I have two books with the same cover, except one is in paperback and one is in hardback… BUT! NEVERMIND! NOW I HAVE TWO! And the cover is gorgeous anyway, so it doesn’t matter! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This one made me chuckle and sigh because of my profession: “ good ol’mom, I added. And by telling myself that there was nothing inside those hopes anyway, I avoided the wounds of deep disappointment.” “I learned to make things not matter, to put a seal on my hopes and place them on a high shelf, out of reach. It’s not great literature, but it gave me what I needed at this time (escapism and a few chuckles) and that’s good enough. Having said that, I have to agree that her writing is a bit formulaic, but in a way I was depending on that!lol I would imagine that if I read her books back to back, it would feel even worse but because there’s been time gaps, it didn’t bother me as much. ![]() Some Goodreads reviews make reference to the characters being two dimensional and flat, but this was not my impression, possibly because I’ve always been able to relate to them in some ways.the concept of having to navigate two cultures yet not feeling completely “whole” as part of either one and/or managing familial ties and expectations is not a foreign one to me, so I enjoy the “tension.” ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Vuong’s grandmother, who recalled that Saigon “fell during the snow song.” She was married to an American serviceman, and in another poem, Mr. This poem, “Aubade With Burning City,” was based on the memories of Mr. “ The treetops glisten and children listen, the chief of police/ facedown in a pool of Coca-Cola./ A palm-sized photo of his father soaking/ beside his left ear.”Īs Bing Crosby croons the benediction “ May all your Christmases be white,” the Saigon sky is shredded with gunfire, “a military truck speeds through the intersection, children/ shrieking inside./ A bicycle hurled/ through a store window” and “footsteps fill the square like stones/ fallen from the sky.” In one of the searing poems in this remarkable new collection, Ocean Vuong juxtaposes chaotic scenes from the April 1975 fall of Saigon with lines from Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” - the song broadcast on Armed Forces Radio to signal that the final evacuation was underway: ![]() ![]() You can’t simultaneously contemplate the vastness of the universe and take such problems seriously.Īt the outset of her third poetry collection, Smith too turns her eyes to the stars in search of perspective and solace, but for her the stakes are considerably higher and the images closer to home. I look at it when I find myself fretting about, say, book review deadlines or my spotty gym attendance. I’ve long used the image as an efficient and emphatic corrective for solipsism. Scientists say it’s an incubator for baby stars. Turner would have admired, of the Cone Nebula, a pillar of dust and gas some 2,500 light-years from Earth. It’s a dramatic and vivid picture from the Hubble Space Telescope, with colors I imagine J.

![]() ![]() Leo Quintum and a team are exploring the sun, they are sabotaged by one of Lex Luthor’s agents, but saved by Superman. (Using very emotional music from The Fellowship of the Ring in a trailer did nothing for it to me.) But when All-Star Superman was recommended to me, I decided to give it a shot.Īll-Star Superman: Volume 1 collects the first six issues of the All-Star Superman run, which was only twelve issues. (In fact, there’s an interesting article to be written on nature versus nurture in the cases of Superman and Captain America.) So when focus is pulled from that, I just start frowning. I’m very particular about my Clark Kent, and what’s amazing about Clark Kent is not that he is a superpowered alien from another planet, but that he is a good man, through and through. ![]() All-Star Superman: Volume 1 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely with Jamie Grant ![]() ![]() ![]() Consequently, the facts about the break-in are entirely satirical because an ordinary man is not expected to have the power of breaking into an important law office in Washington. The reader expects the most powerful office to have the utmost security. The reader finds this satirical because the author describes the law office as the most powerful and influential in Washington, and yet it is broken into by a homeless man. Paradoxically, the individual who broke into the law office is a destitute man. Michael Brock is a prominent lawyer, and he is assigned the duty of finding out the intentions of the break-in and track down the people responsible for the crime. The book is entirely about the break-in of an influential law office in Washington.
