5/24/2023 0 Comments Empire summer moon bookNearly every sentence of this incredibly dense book is cited to original source material. It’s no wonder it was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. This book uses the events surrounding the Parker family as the glue that holds the timeline of the Texas, and American West, versus the Comanches, notably the “most powerful Indian tribe in American History.”Įmpire of Summer Moon, is f’n incredible. This is what happened to the Parker family one morning in 1836 by the local Comanches. The unlucky ones were raped, scalped alive, and left to bleed out. The kidnapped ones were the lucky ones, as they got to live on in either indentured servitude or sold off. One day, they come in, rape, kill, steal, and kidnap the people of your family. But, unbeknownst to you, this new frontier actually belongs to someone else, and they’re pissed. There you build a protective community, where everyone you know and love can have nice, safe, and warm housing. So you gathered your family from the home they’ve only known, gathered your entire life, and moved. It’s a lot, because you’re venturing into a new frontier. Humor me for a second and imagine that you just bought some beautiful property. This book is some Game of Thrones, but in real life shit. It’s incredibly written, and well researched, and I think many would be entertained by it, but by no means would I consider it an easy read. You really need to be into history to consume the dense amount of information in this book.

"It was as if every waking moment was the first waking moment," wrote Wearing's wife, Deborah, of her husband. "In the Moment: Music and Amnesia" follows an English musician and musicologist, Clive Wearing, who in his mid-40s suffered a brain infection that wiped out his memory and entire past. One essay in his new collection, "Musicophilia: Tales of Music and the Brain," presents Oliver Sacks at his best, weaving neuroscience through a fascinating personal story, allowing us to think about brain functions and music in a bracing new light. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Josh malerman inspectionAs K and J work to investigate the secrets of their two strange schools, they come to discover something even more mysterious: each other. J has never seen a girl, and K has never seen a boy. He’s distilled the zeitgeist of our terrible times into this dazzling chameleon of a story, part Grimm’s fairy tale of innocent youth, part dystopian gender politics and authoritarianism run amok, with a satisfying Tarantino-esque ending. Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, in a school very much like J's, a girl named K is asking the same questions. Inspection proves that Josh Malerman is a master magician of narrative form. What is the real purpose of this place? Why can the students never leave? And what secrets is their father hiding from them? The students are being trained to be prodigies of art, science, and athletics, and their life at the school is all they know-and all they are allowed to know.īut J suspects that there is something out there, beyond the pines, that the founder does not want him to see, and he's beginning to ask questions. J's peers are the only family he has ever had. J is one of only twenty-six students, all of whom think of the school's enigmatic founder as their father. J is a student at a school deep in a forest far away from the rest of the world.

In Bloody Valentine we get to see his darker side, if only for a few moments.Įvents of the more distant past get a passing mention but not enough for a proper description they are events we have learnt more about in previous Blue Bloods books. Jack has always seemed to be inherently good and I picture him with clean cut good looks so it is easy to forget that he began his existence as an Angel of Dark. Jack and Schuyler’s bonding is certainly one that is made against all odds. Of course, this isn’t a journey that runs smoothly. The main focus of Bloody Valentine is the bonding of Jack and Schuyler, against all Blue Blood tradition. We get to see a little of Allegra’s adolescence and a peek into her romance with Schuyler’s father. It tells us a little more of the story behind Schuyler’s coming to be, though raising more questions than it answers. At 147 pages it is perfect to tell its story and wet the appetite while we await the next full length Blue Bloods novel and the off shoot series that are scheduled for upcoming release.īloody Valentine is a story of romance, littered with battle and violence as is becoming the Blue Blood way. This novella is the latest addition to the Blue Bloods series and quite a nice morning snack. 5/24/2023 0 Comments Verified Kill by Patricia LoganWhen he finally finds love, the lost of that love sets him on a.

The versions that came before had been like rainy days with moments of sunshine. When I started writing version five, THE BOOK OF THE DAMNED in 1981, I was sure I'd found the book I was born to write. THE BOOK OF NAHASH, abandoned unfinished, was the fourth version. Like the first version, this didn't satisfy me, so I wrote a third with the same title. The first version, written in 1977-78, called MAN AND ALIEN, didn't turn out to be quite what I wanted, so wrote a second, called THE GENESIS TRANSCRIPT. It was a path made up of books - or rather versions of a book that, after twelve years, would turn out to be ISHMAEL. A few months later I set my feet on a path that would change my life completely. In 1977 I walked away from SVE and this very successful career when it became clear that I was not going to able to do there what I really wanted to do.which was not entirely clear. Within a few years I was the head of the Biography & Fine Arts Department of the American Peoples Encyclopedia when that was subsumed by a larger outfit and moved to New York, I stayed behind and moved into educational publishing, beginning at Science Research Associates (a division of IBM) and ending as Editorial Director of The Society for Vision Education (a division of the Singer Corporation).
