The story begins as the Invisible Man, with a bandaged face and a heavy coat and gloves, takes a train to lodge in a country inn whilst he tries to discover the antidote and make himself visible again. It isn’t long before he starts using his invisibility to carry out terrible deeds, like murder. The novel tells the story of a scientist named Griffin who turns himself invisible and goes insane from the isolation. The stranger came in February, one wintry day, through a biting wind and a driving snow, the last snowfall of the year, over the down, walking from Bramblehusrt railway station, and carrying a little portmanteau in his thickly gloved hand.

While my friends made their career plans, declaring they would become doctors, nurses, and lawyers, inwardly I knew that I wanted to be involved somehow in comedy. I thought that people who could make other people laugh were terribly fortunate. I've always believed in comic entrances.Īs I grew up in River Forest, Illinois, in the 1950's, I seem to remember an early fascination with things that were funny. JI was born at eleven A.M., a most reasonable time, my mother often said, and when the nurse put me in my mother's arms for the first time I had both a nasty case of the hiccups and no discernible forehead (it's since grown in). Takeo is surprised by this and admits, "I thought I had buried my old self along with my name, Tomasu" (pg. A little while later, Takeo observes that others can still tell that he is a member of the Hidden.Besides protection why else does Shigeru think Takeo should change his name? Does changing his name affect Takeo's sense of who he is? In remembering this Takeo says, "And so between the waterfall and the top of the mountain I lost my name, became someone new, and joined my destiny with the Otori" (p. Upon meeting Shigeru, Takeo is told to change his name from Tomasu to Takeo.Does revenge continue to override all of Takeo's other emotions throughout the rest of the book? What other emotions motivate Takeo throughout the story? In this situation revenge is a more powerful force than Takeo's religious beliefs. But at that moment Revenge took me as a pupil" (pg. I had spent my whole life among the Hidden who are forbidden to kill and taught to forgive each other. As Takeo recalls how he knocked Iida from his horse he admits his prior ignorance of revenge, "I knew nothing of the wars of the clans, nothing of their rigid codes and their feuds. Revenge is a motivating factor for many of the actions of the characters throughout the book.

Sussex is the story of Evelyn Maltravers, who comes to London to find a wealthy husband who can help her support her sisters. When I received the ARC for Book Two, I picked up the first book and loved it. I was happy to receive an Advance Review Copy of the second book in Matthews’ series, as I’d heard good things about the first one, The Siren of Sussex. There’s nothing original about this setup, except the friends are also avid horsewomen (as is the author). The horse-riding adds a nice note to the character development in both books, as these women are knowledgeable, athletic, and thoughtful about their “sport”. The Belles of London series is about four friends in Victorian-era London who defy the rules of propriety to find love and independence. I’m grateful to Evie Dunmore – and now Mimi Matthews – for bringing me back to historical romances. I love Evie Dunmore’s books because she explores feminism in the context of the suffrage movement, and despite the restrictions of the era, her books don’t lack in character or romance. I understand that it’s hard to write about independent women and diverse characters in times that don’t lend themselves to that. I gave up reading historical romances for a little while because they started feeling dated and repetitive. Myth-busting, witty, and thought-provoking, Edible Economics serves up a feast of bold ideas about globalization, climate change, immigration, austerity, automation, and why carrots need not be orange. For Chang, chocolate is a lifelong addiction, but more exciting are the insights it offers into postindustrial knowledge economies and while okra makes Southern gumbo heart-meltingly smooth, it also speaks of capitalism’s entangled relationship with freedom. But this intellectual monoculture is bland and unhealthy.īestselling author and economist Ha-Joon Chang makes challenging economic ideas delicious by plating them alongside stories about food from around the world, using the diverse histories behind familiar food items to explore economic theory. Edible Economics brings the sort of creative fusion that spices up a great kitchen to the often too-disciplined subject of economicsįor decades, a single, free-market philosophy has dominated global economics. The Wrong Bachelor is a book I've had my eye on for a while-though it's not my absolute favorite trope, the enemies falling in love plot line is usually pretty enjoyable. Will she be able to resist him though when the competition heats up and he turns his charms on her? The problem is, they've chosen the wrong guy.Ĭole Kingston might be good looking, great with a football and practically the king of Lincoln High, but he's also cocky, arrogant, a serial flirt and Madi's sworn enemy. She's never been interested in chasing a guy before and she certainly isn't interested in competing for one in front of the whole school.īut, when Madi is voted as one of the ten "lucky" contestants, she's given no choice but to vie for the heart of Lincoln High's most eligible bachelor. Seventeen-year-old Madison (Madi) Matthews wants nothing to do with the dating competition her school is holding to raise money for charity. and KU has lots of YA books, so get ready!īachelor: A desirable potential boyfriend.

Beware: I feel myself going into a YA slide. Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot by Dav Pilkey Like The Bad Guys, this series of seven is a great early graphic novel. We’re big fans of this dynamic duo, and we think your kids will be equally charmed by their love of waffles, parties, and adventures. This delightful graphic novel series follows the antics of scaredy-cat Squirrel and carefree Bird as they try to escape Cat, crash land at the South Pole, cross the Great Mountains, and more. Why not use that to your advantage and encourage more reading, especially if they’ve already worked their way through the series? We rounded up books for kids who like The Bad Guys, so without further ado, here are our “read-alikes”: 1. (And they’re probably losing their tiny minds over the movie). If you teach first, second, or third grade, we’re willing to bet you have students obsessed with The Bad Guys. Basically, it is very interesting, an in-depth look at both the process of creating an anthology show and fighting to get further series made, and how the cast and crew managed to actualise the weirdness that is Black Mirror. The sort of thing that make an easy gift. The writing is combined with stills and design images, which form a useful way of remembering key elements of the wildly differing episodes whilst reading the book. Due to the anthology format of the series, the book goes through each episode individually, with relevant people's comments and discussion, and it is all held together by the voices of Charlie Brooker (creator, writer, executive producer etc) and Annabel Jones (co-show runner and executive producer). Inside Black Mirror is, unsurprisingly, the story of TV series Black Mirror, told in oral history fashion by its creators, directors and actors amongst others. |
