![]() ![]() Bookstagram became my main priority, but I still love posting spoilers here.įor some of these books I read pre-blog, all I have are two-sentence summaries to jog my own memory. I made a Bookstagram to promote my blog, but quickly fell in love with that community. To me, there seemed to be enough of a gap that I could start my own blog of spoilers to help people like me! I found a couple of sites that spoil the endings (shouting out my new friend Jen Ryland here!), but couldn’t find everything I was looking for. When I didn’t write down the ending right away, I would try googling it to add it to my list. Often the synopsis alone isn’t enough to jog my memory! I especially needed these spoilers for books in a series, when it had been a while since I read the previous novel. ![]() ![]() I started jotting down endings because I found myself re-reading books I had already read, knowing I’d read it before but unable to recall the ending. Before I started blogging and Bookstagram, I was writing down the endings to books in my bullet journal as I finished them. ![]() ![]() ![]() With the seminal dark fantasy masterpiece Something Wicked This Way Comes (1962) and the latter career work A Graveyard for Lunatics: Another Tale of Two Cities (1990) on either side, The Halloween Tree is the middle installment in a loose Halloween trilogy by the author. ![]() Though he only wrote a few novels and stories that could truly be classified as horror, those few are legendary and most revolve around what he often named his favorite holiday-Halloween. Books like The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451 along with dozens of short stories had already proved him deserving of the title. ![]() Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud promises “not Treat…Trick! Trick!” to the children in his presence after they ask their traditional question, but Ray Bradbury’s The Halloween Tree, both in its novel and animated film form, offers plenty of each.īy 1972, Bradbury was already well on his way to becoming the Grand Master of Science Fiction that the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America would officially name him in 1988. ![]() ![]() Rather than attempt to harmonize East and West philosophies into a single chorus, Heisig undertakes what he calls a "philosophical antiphony." Through the simple call-and-response of a few representative voices, Heisig tries to join the choir on both sides of the antiphony to relate the questions at hand to larger problems that press on the human community. They revolve around the intersection of two ideas, nothingness and desire, as they apply to a re-examination of the questions of self, God, morality, property, and the East-West philosophical divide. The six lectures that make up this book were delivered in March 2011 at London University's School of Oriental and Asian Studies as the Jordan Lectures on Comparative Religion. University of Hawai'i Press Nothingness and Desire A Philosophical Antiphony 2013 Edition by James W. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though the tale of Cinderella is one that’s come under fire in recent times for being un-feminist, it’s one that has always meant a lot to me. ![]() It’s a fantastic example of how to explore and deepen a story that’s been told for centuries. Everything, from the core themes to the characters to the action, kept me turning pages as fast as I could. From start to end, this retold fairy tale had me enchanted. All opinions are my own.Ĭinderella Is Dead is the first novel I’ve read from Kalynn Bayron. I was provided with an ARC of Cinderella Is Dead via NetGalley and Bloomsbury in exchange for fair review. ![]() Cinderella Is Dead by Kalynn Bayron says no more fairy tales – only fiery tales of resistance and magic. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Seasons pass and feelings grow, but it is in the beauty of nature that the author transfigures what is at work between the three characters.įirst Japanese winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature He also makes nature a character in its own right: the stars, the white of the mountainsides in winter, the green of the rice fields in spring, the warm hues of the autumn leaves. He lingers more on the heavy folds of a kimono, the delicate harmony of slow gestures, the grace of bodies moving as they perform dance steps. Rather than examining passionate love, however, Yasunari Kawabata prefers to suggest, circumvent, and indeed shift the gaze of the narrator in Snow Country. ![]() The protagonist, Shimamura, is an artist as rich as he is idle, and who regularly retires to the Japanese mountains, the ‘snow country.’ There, he first meets Yoko, while on a train journey that takes him to the mountaintops where the maple trees are decked out in an autumnal red hue, then Kamado, a geisha who presides at the inn where he is staying. Snow Country is a story of thwarted, impossible, passionate love. ![]() ![]() As well as being an exciting adventure story, this award-winning contemporary classic will leave readers with plenty to think about.

Maia is a wonderful heroine, and Ibbotson weaves a charming, compelling and warm-hearted tale of friendship, our responsibility to those around us, and the importance of the natural world. This enchanting story has all the trademarks of Eva Ibbotson's writing. Maia turns to her strict yet kindly governess, Miss Minton, for company, and strikes up some unusual and rewarding friendships. ![]() When Maia arrives, however, the family is far from welcoming and she is saddened to see that they have blocked out all evidence of the rainforest from their stuffy home. ![]() ![]() She cannot wait to experience the sights, sounds and smells of the Amazon and is particularly looking forward to meeting her twin cousins. Orphan Maia is thrilled to learn she is to live with relatives in South America. This satisfyingly old-fashioned story is set in the early 1900s. ![]() ![]() While the authors have defended this bias by stating that they are simply writing about what they know, they did seek out advice on several other topics. ![]() At the very least, it expects that all readers will put up with that significant bias in the text. Worse yet, it seems to assume that every reader is interested in a power-exchange relationship in which there is a dominant male and a submissive female. Not only is the humor tedious and sometimes even offensive, but the images are also cheaply done. True, it offers solid beginner's information in an upbeat way, but it does a poor job at the effort. It receives rave reviews everywhere I go, yet I have never recommended it to a single client or friend. ![]() ![]() Considering the subject of the text, I felt I had to specify that. ![]() ![]() ![]() He remembers that 007 made his first appearance as a hard-smoking gambler getting up from the roulette table in a French casino, a ruthless man who liked nothing more than to take a risk and trust his luck. The civil war does come to an end, but not so much as a result of Bond as the stain of political corruption that seeps through Boyd’s dark story.īoyd is not afraid to make Bond as politically incorrect as Fleming created him. ![]() This reflects the author’s own long-term fascination with that continent, which is clear for all to see in his first novel, A Good Man In Africa, published in 1981. In his new novel, Boyd gives Bond the task of single-handedly stopping a bitter and tribal civil war in the fictional oil-rich West African state of Zanzarim. ![]() ![]() Flying high: The new Bond novel Solo was jetted to seven countries around the globe - Amsterdam, Edinburgh, Zurich, Los Angeles, Delhi, Cape Town, and Sydney - ahead of its release on Thursdayīoyd cleverly pays tribute to Fleming by setting the story in an age when the spying game was full of flamboyance and style, and before John Le Carre and his fictional British spy Smiley made the world of espionage so comparatively grey and murky. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() More Than Forever (More Than, #4) is the story of Lucy and Cameron. And I just adore that about the More Than series! Each couple have their own book(s), but they all feature heavily in every single books, because they all play huge, integral roles in one another lives. What makes these books is the surrounding characters. It follows a group of friends throughout high-school and college, whilst they overcome heartbreak, loss and tragedy, discovering friendship and love along the way. This series is about pure, uninterrupted, squishy-feels, heart-warming romance. So I had high hopes for More Than Forever, and it didn’t let me down. I read the first three books in this series whilst I wasn’t blogging, and loved them. ![]() There is a promise so sure it can never lie. There is a love so fierce it cannot be measured. ![]() |
