5/23/2023 0 Comments North by Night by Katherine Ayres![]() Mike is being tormented at school by a loud-mouth named Andy Simms, who calls Mike “Macaroni Boy.” But when dead rats start appearing in the streets, that name changes to “Rat Boy.” Around the same time Mike notices that his grandfather is also physically sick. Money problems only add to Mike’s worries about his beloved grandfather, who is getting forgetful and confused. ![]() But it’s 1933, and the Depression is bringing tough times to everyone. His father’s large Italian family runs a food wholesale business, and Mike is used to the sounds and smells of men working all night to unload the trains that feed the city. Mike Costa has lived his whole life in The Strip, Pittsburgh’s warehouse and factory district. Extra material: An Author’s Note is included in the back of the book. During the Great Depression, a boy who faces bullying stumbles upon a mystery and comes of age in this novel that integrates fact and opinion and has a rich 1930’s vocabulary. ![]() ![]() Now comes William Manchester, biographer of John Kennedy and Douglas MacArthur, to stake out his part of the Churchill ![]() It was a market that he himself exploited to the full, depending on his extraordinary pen to support his family and his luxuries during the ups and downs of his political and military career. ![]() Since his passing, the task has been continued by Martin Gilbert, and there are now five volumes of biography, taking the story to 1939, plus a dozen ''companion volumes'' - a hint of the market for Churchilliana that Churchill imagined even before the World War II years that sealed his fame. ''This sensible advice was naturally heeded,'' wrote Randolph 34 years later to preface the ''colossal work'' of official biography he finally set out to write. Churchill urged a delay, predicting thousands more in the future. ![]() Son Randolph sent a telegram asking permission to write his father's biography for an advance against royalties of (STR)450. A small, telling episode is omitted from the account of Winston Churchill's 1932 visit to America which ends this latest rekindling of the past in the Manchester manner. ![]() 5/23/2023 0 Comments Halloween poem by harry behn![]() ![]() Haunting illustrations of three trick-or-treaters capture the spooky, spine-tingling thrill of this magical night.

5/22/2023 0 Comments Jennie allen get out of your head![]() ![]() While the author covers some basic concepts of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), the primary strategy used in this book is to catch negative thinking early and replace the negative thought with biblical truth. Get Out of Your Head is a book written for Christian women about addressing negative thoughts that, if not addressed early, will lead to other problems, such as unhappiness, relationship difficulties, maladaptive behavior, and spiritual problems. ![]() Jennie Allen obtained a master’s degree in biblical studies from Dallas Theological Seminary. ![]() Jennie Allen is a bestselling author of several books and Bible study guides and the founder of IF: Gathering, which is a nonprofit organization with a mission to support women in their Christian faith, primarily through large conferences with simulcasts in smaller venues, including private homes.

But Ally is determined to leave her own tragic past behind and to be a good wife and a good American.Įscaping darkness is not so easy. Everything is strange in her new home: the shadowy redwoods the peculiar neighbors and the mystery surrounding the death of Carl's first wife. "In Nightwood, Gomel masterfully combines the horrific elements of fairy tales with even more horrific history to create a chilling and atmospheric story that blurs the boundaries between story and reality." - Gustavo Bondoni, the author of "Colony", "Desert Base Strike", "Outside" and many other SF and fantasy novels and stories.Īlly is a Ukrainian bride who married a wealthy Californian, Carl Morris. "If Shirley Jackson and Lewis Carroll had a love child, it'd write a lot like Elana Gomel." - Josh Schlossberg, author of MALINAE, editor of THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROR, and undertaker at "An eerie and imaginative melding of history and fantasy." - Kirkus Reviews ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments The hunger games first book![]() As the Times notes, the books expanded the purview of young adult fiction, moving the genre into more graphic, violent territory than previous hits like Harry Potter or Twilight. The Hunger Games series takes place in a dystopian future-America nation called Panem, in which each year 24 children-two from each district-must compete in a televised, violent survival competition called the Hunger Games. But that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll see a prequel film anytime soon-not least because a lot has changed since the first book debuted in 2008. The books themselves were best sellers, spawning a four-film series and a general dystopia bug across Hollywood as studios scrambled to replicate the sensation-hello, Divergent. ![]() ![]() Let’s file this one under: I Mean, Sure? On Monday the New York Times reported that Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins is working on a prequel to her massively popular trilogy. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Mario testino lady diana![]() Not long after, one of Diana’s young cousins, who also attended Beeston, received a birthday card from Princess Diana and Prince Charles. ![]() Once felt the freedom of the summer breeze blow these trees, the grass matted in her hands, the delights of jam teas and giggles of girls in our uniforms and plimsoles. I remember a hot June day playing rounders (a British game similar to softball) against her own boarding school, Riddlesworth, and thinking she too played rounders on this pitch. The same county where Diana also was educated in her early years. In the years to come I would attend Beeston Hall boarding school in Norfolk in the British summer terms. ![]() I could just see the carriage trot past and feel the roar of the crowd. ![]() ![]() I remember idling all day, hopping up and down the marble stairs of a grand Palladian townhouse, while we waited for the royal carriage to pass by. I was just 6 years old when my English mother took me to London for the Royal Wedding. Like so many young women I felt I grew up with Princess Diana. ![]() 5/22/2023 0 Comments Jenny lawson broken review![]() ![]() ![]() And I’m comfortable saying things out loud. So 10, 12, 14 years ago, writing about mental illness was different than today. And the more you talk about it, the less there is reason for stigma. We’re more comfortable with being uncomfortable. “I think we’re in such a better spot now, when it comes to openness about so many things that were extremely uncomfortable before,” she says. ![]() ![]() Lawson’s frankness about depression, mental illness, anxiety and other monsters typically relegated to the basement endeared her to a following that isn’t easily quantified, but it’s clearly in the millions. That image - a twisting infant of a monster - summarizes the content of the bestselling books Lawson has written over the past nine years, an outgrowth of writing she did for a quietly and then formidably reverent readership for her blogs going back to 2009. Sometimes, even with a strong grip, it can be difficult to hold onto something that isn’t designed to be held. And her grip captures it upper-mid-thorax, but there’s a lot of twisty, turny beast below capable of creating energy and torque to escape her clutches. The fanged beast has a mouthful of flowers. Monsters bear mention because the cover of “Broken” finds Lawson clutching a horrible, adorable creature under its front legs/arms. 285 pages, $27.99 See More Collapse Personal monsters ![]() |
