Mike mignola pinocchio6/25/2023 It’s just so brilliantly strange-very very funny and also heartbreakingly sad. “Probably starting with the Disney film and then really drilled into me when I finally read the Collodi novel. “I’ve been in love with PINOCCHIO as long as I can remember,” said Mignola. It’ll feature Mignola’s full portfolio of yet-to-be-published Pinocchio illustrations, including all the drawings done for the book, as well as additional art not included in the book, including paintings, process work for the project, and an original puppet from Red Nose Studios. If you want to get a jump on seeing Mignola’s work, head over to the New York’s Society of Illustrators exhibit from March 22nd to July 8th. The project features plenty of options to purchase including a digital copy, but you won’t want to miss the slipped-in typewritten sheets produced by Snicket during his Pinocchio-induced descent into madness. “For many years I have been curious to see if I, too, will join the tradition of readers completely transformed into lunatics from a reading of PINOCCHIO, and although Carlo Collodi died long ago, I like to think that somewhere, somehow, he is interested in seeing what I might have to say as I read this book and likely lose my mind,” writes Snicket.

Behave sapolsky goodreads6/25/2023 A behavior occurs-whether an example of humans at our best, worst, or somewhere in between. Sapolsky's storytelling concept is delightful but it also has a powerful intrinsic logic: he starts by looking at the factors that bear on a person's reaction in the precise moment a behavior occurs, and then hops back in time from there, in stages, ultimately ending up at the deep history of our species and its evolutionary legacy.Īnd so the first category of explanation is the neurobiological one. More than a decade in the making, this game-changing book is Robert Sapolsky's genre-shattering attempt to answer that question as fully as perhaps only he could, looking at it from every angle. Neil mcnair today tonight tomorrow6/24/2023 When Neil is named valedictorian, Rowan has only one chance at victory: Howl, a senior class game that takes them all over Seattle, a farewell tour of the city she loves.

The Hating Game meets Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist by way of Morgan Matson in this unforgettable romantic comedy about two rival overachievers whose relationship completely transforms over the course of twenty-four hours. Today Tonight Tomorrow by Rachel Lynn Solomon Malcolm gladwell underdog6/24/2023 In truth, Gladwell writes, we should have considered David the favourite the moment he entered the Valley of Elah with his sling. The story of David and Goliath, as traditionally told, is about a young shepherd who slays a giant in battle against enormous odds. In his latest book, David and Goliath, the Ontario-born writer focuses his attention on underdogs and how they can overcome seemingly insurmountable disadvantages. The world is more complicated than you think, Gladwell tells us. In this case, that means the familiar cover with its white field and small graphic in the centre, the breezily intelligent cocktail-party prose, and the anecdotes from disparate worlds tied together neatly with a satisfyingly quirky Big Idea. Like the latest iPhone or Grand Theft Auto game, a new Gladwell release promises pleasing tweaks on a popular brand. More than an author, Gladwell is an industry. Since The Tipping Point was published 13 years ago, the New Yorker staff writer has made himself comfortable at the top of bestseller lists, built a lucrative second career on the corporate speaking circuit, inspired a mini-boom of counterintuitive quasi-academic books, and helped define this TED-talk era of public intellectualism. A new Malcolm Gladwell book isn’t a publication, it’s an event. Planetfall book 56/24/2023 It is 20 odd years since they arrived (the "Planetfall" of the title) and the group has hunkered down and established a colony on this distinctly Earth-like world (the day length and gravity are nearly the same, and once they developed vaccines against the indigenous microbes, the group were even able to breathe the air). Renata Ghali - Ren - is part of a human settler group on a distant planet. I greatly enjoyed Newman's well observed, magic-with-manners Split Worlds series, and I hope there will be more of them, but in my view, with this book, she simply takes her writing to a new level: indeed, several new levels. I apologise in advance if this review comes over as gushy, but I was quite simply blown away by this book. I'm very grateful to the author for an advance copy of this book.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book The Other Americans written by Laila Lalami which was published in. Brief Summary of Book: The Other Americans by Laila Lalami Before they know it, they’re right in the thick of a manhunt, and Greenwich Village will never be the same. Which neighbor was rude enough to leave a body in the upstairs tub? Though they should know better, Mr. He has been bludgeoned, stripped naked, and left to rot. But what seems inconvenient becomes felonious the moment they find a dead man in the tub. So when Pamela decides to stage a soiree in the empty apartment, Jerry goes along begrudgingly. It’s an ordinary Greenwich Village abode, and the Norths are ordinary Villagers-which means they can’t bear to go more than a few days between cocktail parties. Jerry and Pamela North’s upstairs apartment has been empty as long as they can remember. A sophisticated 1930s Greenwich Village couple finds an inconvenient body in their upstairs bathtub in the first installment of an “excellent series” ( The New Yorker).

The night swim book review6/22/2023 Both take place in the same small coastal town of Neapolis, North Carolina. One ended up dead, and the other has divided the town with her accusation against the town star athlete. Not just one rape, but the story about two women, 25 years apart, who were raped. It's not an easy read in that the subject is about rape. However, I did finish The Night Swim last night and did spend a lot of Monday reading it. While I would love to, I told him I probably wouldn't be able to read quite that much-the lure (or my guilt feeling) of cleaning out closets and decluttering in preparation for the holidays has me feeling like I can't just read all day-I MUST do some kind of housework. My partner asked me yesterday if I planned on reading a book a day while on vacation this week.
