After hypnotizing Gus he finds out more about Gus' father, and he and Abbot lead a team back to the cabin he grew up in hoping to find clues to how Gus was made.Īpparently, there's also some prophecy regarding Gus. Meanwhile, the main doctor at the facility holding Gus is convinced he's the key to saving humanity. The army itself is made up of some weird hillbilly cult that worships (or something?) these hybrid children. Jepperd has decided to rescue Gus, and along with two women he helped save from that nasty pimp in the first volume, is raising an army to storm the facility. Gus is stuck in the facility and meets a few other hybrid children like himself for the first time. ![]()

![]() Read it with a flashlight in the dark or under the table-and watch those fireflies glow!Įric Carle (born June 25, 1929) is a children's book author and illustrator, most famous for his book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, which has been translated into over 30 languages. Lushly illustrated with Eric Carle's trademark vibrant collage art, soothingly told with a gentle read-aloud rhythm, and complete with a surprise sure to light up children's faces, The Very Lonely Firefly will fast become a storytime favorite. But it is not until it discovers other fireflies that it finds exactly what it's looking for-a surprise sure to bring smiles to anyone who turn the final page! It even sees a surprise celebration of light. When a very lonely firefly goes out into the night searching for other fireflies, it sees a lantern, a candle, and the eyes of a dog, cat, and owl all glowing in the darkness. A VERY classic from Eric Carle, creator of The Very Hungry Caterpillar! ![]() ![]() ![]() She lives in Thunder Bay, Ont., and recently retired as a professor in the Indigenous Learning Department at Lakehead University. She has written seven novels for middle grade and teen readers. Ruby Slipperjack is a member of the Eabametoong First Nation. These Are My Words is for readers ages 9–12. ![]() A fear of forgetting who she was.ĭrawing from her own experiences at residential school, Ruby Slipperjack creates a brave yet heartbreaking heroine in Violet, and lets young readers glimpse into an all-too-important chapter in our nation's history. ( From Scholastic Canada) But worst of all, she is afraid of forgetting the things she treasures most: her Anishnabe language, the names of those she knew before and her traditional customs. She misses her Grandma she has run-ins with Cree girls at her "white" school, everyone just stares and everything she brought has been taken from her, including her name - she is now just a number.

And the new Ericka finds herself at home alone after Victor leaves for work.Īs Koontz moves the story lines along, it soon becomes quite obvious that he isn’t sure where to go and the book is probably going to build to a lack luster climax, especially since there are still three more books in the series after this one. Randal Six is under the O’Connor house and wants to get in to find Arnie. Koontz spends the first 100 pages of the book pretty much recapping everything that happened in the first. In City of Night, we literally pick up one day later from where the first book ended and with all the same characters. While coining books as “beach reads” is so cliche, it’s definitely true because how else could I read two 400+ paged books in two weeks? With its short chapters and light plot development, the books might be lacking in literary merit but they are fun engaging reads. Having read Book 1 in just one week, I immediately picked up Book 2 and finished it in a week as well. What was to be a trilogy, but turned into a five book series, Dean Koontz’s Frankenstein continues with book 2 – City of Night. ![]() ![]() According to Alameedan prophecy, one house will rise to power and the other will be completely wiped out, and Kricket’s precognition is believed to be the weapon that will tip the scales.Ī target of both the Rafe and the Alameeda houses, Kricket finds protection-and a home-in the arms of Trey, her Etharian bodyguard-turned-boyfriend. Now, whisked across space to the planet Ethar, Kricket learns that her genetic ability to see the future makes her a sought-after commodity…and the catalyst for war between her star-crossed parents’ clans. ![]() Bartol is here!

Next, I would like to thank RK, all of my family and friends, and everybody behind the scenes from editing, formatting, cover designers and bloggers for all your support – it means so very much. My beautiful sister and wonderful brothers – what can I say other than thank you for the unquestioning support in all I do, and thank you for always having my back. Little did I know that these stories would later become the inspiration for Until We Meet Again. There are so many people I want to thank, so please bear with me! First and foremost, my mum and dad and amazing grandma – thank you so very much for sharing the wonderful stories that you did about your village and my ancestors. ![]() Incidents are either products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.

Being in a small town like Beaufort, they knew each other right from their preschool days but Landon never felt the need of acknowledging Jamie's presence as he never considered her to be 'his type'. He introduces us to a small town Beaufort in North Carolina where he was in high school with Jamie Sullivan - the daughter of a widower minister of the local church. ![]() ![]() The story begins with fifty-seven years old Landon Carter reminiscing about his days forty years back when he was 17 years old and how that year completely changed his life for good. I was exactly looking for one such book and thankfully had one right on my bookshelf in the 'to be read' category. ![]() ![]() If you are looking for a sweet, simple, emotional and touching love story which can be read in one or two sittings, you have picked up the right book. ![]() ![]() ![]() “ On the Heels of Ignorance is a substantial achievement, addressing a core puzzle in the history of psychiatry. Hear an interview I gave on the book from the podcast, New Books in Sociology. On the Heels of Ignorance draws from intellectual history and the sociology of professions to portray an ongoing human effort to make sense of complex mental phenomena using an imperfect set of tools, with recurrent tragic results. Whooley’s book is no anti-psychiatric screed, however instead, he reveals a field that has muddled along through periodic reinventions and conflicting agendas of curiosity, compassion, and professional striving. ![]() On the Heels of Ignorance begins with American psychiatry’s formal beginnings in the 1840s and moves through two centuries of constant struggle simply to define and redefine mental illness, to say nothing of the best way to treat it. ![]() ![]() But, as Owen Whooley’s sweeping new history tell us, the history of American psychiatry is really a history of ignorance. Psychiatry has always aimed to peer deep into the human mind, daring to cast light on its darkest corners and untangle its thorniest knot, often invoking the latest medical science in doing so.

He’s everything that Magnus has spent a lifetime avoiding. He’s messy and creative and nosy and mysterious. Laurie Gentry is nearly the same age as Magnus, but that’s where the similarity ends. However, when one of these sunny young men shows an inclination for dramatic scenes, Magnus meets his new neighbour. Why date someone his own age to discuss back pain, retirement-planning, and corns, when he can date men who don’t care to discuss anything at all? He fills his nights with a parade of handsome young men who want to make him happy. A successful trial lawyer, he spends his days lecturing jurors, exasperating judges, and striding arrogantly around courtrooms. He’s divided his life into happy compartments. Men, sofas, books-everything gets jettisoned, eventually. At fifty-two, he doesn’t believe in keeping anything. ![]() Magnus Carlsen is determined to grow old disgracefully. ![]() Sometimes love comes when you least expect or want it. ![]() ![]() ![]() They also reveal Women in Love as a twentieth century classic that continues to challenge its readers and refuses to be pigeonholed. Written by scholars from the United Kingdom, France, Australia and Canada, as well as the United States, they illustrate both the way recent theoretical developments in literary studies can be made relevant to readings of Lawrence and the healthy persistence of traditional methods of analysis. Apart from the classic essay by Joyce Carol Oates, all the items collected in this volume were published after 1990. Of all his works, Women in Love is widely regarded as the most complex and rewarding. Lawrence's stock has fallen in recent times there are now signs of a revival.
