![]() ![]() “Seven Days in June” is smart, sexy, deeply funny-and most of all, incredibly realistic. ![]() (Full disclosure, I worked with Tia for several years, but I’d like to think that doesn’t compromise my review it all.) With its keen observations of creative life in America today, as well as the joys and complications of being a mother and a daughter, Seven Days in June is a hilarious, romantic, and sexy-as-hell story of two writers discovering their second chance at love. Before Shane disappears though, she needs a few questions answered. Over the next seven days, amidst a steamy Brooklyn summer, Eva and Shane reconnect-but Eva's wary of the man who broke her heart, and wants him out of the city so her life can return to normal. While they may be pretending not to know each other, they can't deny their chemistry-or the fact that they've been secretly writing to each other in their books through the years. What no one knows is that fifteen years earlier, teenage Eva and Shane spent one crazy, torrid week madly in love. When Shane and Eva meet unexpectedly at a literary event, sparks fly, raising not only their buried traumas, but the eyebrows of the Black literati. Shane Hall is a reclusive, enigmatic, award-winning novelist, who, to everyone's surprise, shows up in New York.

The challenge is to see if Amber can make Joan smile before Joan makes Amber cry. She spends her Wednesday evenings at the old folks’ home in epic face-offs between herself, the Princess of Hope, and Joan of Old, the crotchety woman who faked a heart attack at last year’s Christmas party because everyone was having too much fun. Amber spends every Tuesday teaching English to Korean Catholic women with the words of R & B greats like Tina and Aretha they call themselves the Korean Divas for Christ. She has a running inner dialogue with JC (Jesus). In spite of this, Amber is probably the most optimistic person on the planet. Her mom hasn’t eaten anything in several months, unless you count nicotine and vodka. Her mom has had a string of increasingly pathetic boyfriends ever since her father left them right after Amber was born. Seventeen-year-old Amber Appleton lives on a yellow school bus. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Generally, I thought there were quite a lot of concepts to the world dates of death, zombies, Oracles and time travel to name a few, and this led some of the narrative to sound cluttered, but I enjoyed the fast pace of the first 25% and how the perfect world was destroyed quickly. (High praise.) She is your perfect citizen so finds it slightly difficult, as you can imagine, to adapt to the world that’s been opened to her when she looks beyond the watch on her wrist that tells her when she’s going to die. Our main character is Abby, and as main characters go, was quite nice. A lot of world-explaining goes on within the first chapter that could have been slightly smoother in my opinion, but at least everything was explained so the author could get the plot moving forward. (Or were they?! Spoilers.)Īs readers, we are thrown straight into the action, at a baseball game. It turned out that the zombies were just a myth told by the government as, you guessed it, a means of control. When it said ‘zombies’ I was instantly reminded of ‘Warm Bodies’ and was expecting something like that – not the zombie love part, but just the zombies in general. The first thing I have to say is that this book was nothing like what I was expecting. ![]() We received this book via NetGallery in exchange for an honest review.

I liked the story and thought it to be entertaining. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though some theories will sound outlandish to modern readers (Anaximander thought that celestial bodies moved on giant wheels “filled with fire”), others are impressively forward-thinking, such as Anaximander’s suggestion that Earth is suspended in a void and humans evolved from “fishlike creatures” that adapted to live on land. According to Anaximander, the cosmic order came into existence after “hot and cold separated,” causing a “ball of flame” to amass around the Earth and dry up the water that originally covered the planet. Anaximander, Rovelli contends, generated the “first great conceptual revolution” in science by proposing naturalistic explanations of the universe that refuted common accounts relying on gods and myths. ![]() Theoretical physicist Rovelli ( There Are Places in the World Where Rules Are Less Important than Kindness) delivers an insightful survey of the scientific contributions of Greek philosopher Anaximander (610–545 BCE). ![]() ![]() Only then can you make a lasting and robust case for your approach over others. You end up repeating yourself, instead of circling around and addressing all sides of an argument. You fill the gaps with thematic material already well-established. This is what happens when you double up on only half of a complete story. ![]() Someone mentioned to me that he felt you could remove an hour from Bird Box and it would be the same film. leaving one with no other alternative than to quietly roll his eyes when Malkovich proclaims, “Let’s make the end of the world great again!” The film's failure to craft a complete argument exaggerates its image systems. ![]() I half-expected Tim Robbins to be the one opening the door to the shelter for “the blind”-and laughed when I hear the man speak (it wasn’t him).īird Box is a respectably moody and intelligent psychological thriller, if also a relatively muddled supernatural horror allegory.īird Box works as a cautionary tale-nothing more. ![]() and all the birds inside are Twitter, alerting you when all the “crazies” are around.

If I look cool, it’s your fault!” He says he then told Joss that he’d rather have his brain, and Whedon apparently said, “Yeah, but you have those…cheekbones!” And Marsters replied, “Wanna trade?” Sounds like a cute story that could’ve been all in good fun, but the way Marsters told it led me to believe that there were other things going on, and the vibe in the audience got weird. Marsters replied, “Well, I’m standing here in a costume you put me in, with hair I dyed for you, standing in front of an awesome set you created. When someone asked him about whether he’d like to work with Joss again and what their relationship was like, he said, “I would love to work with Joss again, but I don’t think Joss has a soft spot in his heart for me.” A ripple of confusion went through the room, and so he said, “Really.” He went on to tell a story about how one day on the set of Buffy, Joss came up to him and made some comment about how actors like Marsters have it so easy because they looked cool.

The world created by Steven Erikson and Ian C. But I would argue that Steven Erikson and his ten volume Malazan Book of the Fallen out-epic all of these other epics in its epic-ness. In most of these cases, the word “epic” is an apt descriptor. I’ve seen it applied (and done so myself) to Tolkien, Brooks, and Donaldson, to Jordan, Martin, and Eddings, to Jemisin, Rothfuss, and Sanderson, and the list goes on. The word “epic” gets thrown around more often when talking about fantasy than a well-aimed dagger. ![]() The Crippled God: Book Ten of The Malazan Book of the Fallen Hope the timely review makes up for the delay. ![]() I know I’m late, but I got caught up with day-job work and so…sorry. ![]() My apologies for posting this on Wednesday, rather than Tuesday. ![]() |
