"They're just locked in these ivory towers, whether it's an academic institution or a library." I've come across a lot of different interesting articles and photos that you never see anywhere else," says Gainer, who has written for Woman's Day, GQ, InStyle, Essence and Honey magazines. "I write fiction for the most part, and when I am in libraries doing research. ![]() It's reactions like mine that led 42-year-old writer Nichelle Gainer to start a book project showcasing a collection of rarely seen historical photos of actors, educators, writers, students, musicians and more - all African-American. The caption said she was once dubbed the "black Marilyn Monroe" and was mentioned many times in Walter Winchell's gossip column.īut, I had never heard of or seen Bryant before. I was scrolling through my Tumblr feed a year or so ago, when I saw a photo of Joyce Bryant. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She will work along with Mary's twelve year old niece, Mai-Lin. Many say that China Mary is the one who really controls Tombstone. China Mary admires Carissa's brave spirit, and uses her influence to get her a job at the new Grand Hotel, which will free Carissa from her many duties at Miss Lucille's. Carissa has no choice but to go to the powerful woman for help. She and the kind doctor make a plan to try to save Lisette by dosing her down on the drug. Doctor Henderson tells Carissa that the only source for the drug is a Chinese immigrant named China Mary, who lives in Hoptown, at the other end of Tombstone. What is a twelve year old girl to do when she finds herself in the silver boom town of Tombstone, Arizona, in 1880, and her only home is a brothel and her only parent is a drug-addicted mother? If she is Carissa Beaumont, she outsmarts the evil madam and figures a way out. After tricking the madam, Miss Lucille, into summoning a doctor for her mother, Lisette, she discovers that Miss Lucille has been drugging her. ![]() ![]() ![]() Indestructubles Little Golden Books Magic School Bus Magic Tree House Pete the Cat Step Into Reading Book The Hunger Games ![]() By POPULAR SERIES Chronicles of Narnia Curious Geoge Diary of a Wimpy Kid Fancy Nancy Harry Potter I Survived If You Give.By TOPIC Award Winning Books African American Children's Books Biography & Autobiography Books for Boys Books for Girls Diversity & Inclusion Foreign Language & Bilingual Books Hispanic & Latino Children's Books Holidays & Celebrations Holocaust Books Juvenile Nonfiction New York Times Bestsellers Professional Development Reference Books Test Prep.By GRADE Elementary School Middle School High Schoolīy AGE Board Books (newborn to age 3) Early Childhood Readers (ages 4-8) Children's Picture Books (ages 3-8) Juvenile Fiction (ages 8-12) Young Adult Fiction (ages 12+).BESTSELLERS in EDUCATION Shop All Education Books. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They’re full of dry humor, moving gestures and tragic fates, just like the books and the games. ![]() If you are familiar with the Witcher universe then these comics are a must-read. Witchers don’t kill humans, even though they often prove to be the monster, but just as often they don’t kill monsters either, if they can avoid it, because on the Continent, humans aren’t always right. Geralt travels this world, often alone, sometimes with company, taking up contracts, the odd job of slaying a monster or help solve a murder for coin. Of having to do the lesser evil when no other option has been given you, and taking responsibility. It’s also full of moral choices, of complicated relationships, of finding the truth in a world that’s never black and white. The Witcher universe is one of my favorite universes, it’s dark, humorous and diverse, full of monsters and creatures from slavic folklore. This is a collection of the four Witcher comics, House of Glass, Fox Children, Killing Monsters and Curse of Crows, and it is excellent! ![]() ![]() Miller does an excellent job of world building on the little island that the entire book takes place on. It wasn’t very original in concept, but Miller does a good job in making it her own. This was book one in the Fallen Flame series, and it was a decent start to this new world. I didn’t like that requirement, and think that if you, as an author, is sending out arcs for review then you should be able to take the bad with the good. I was going to join, however, it stated if I was going to give less than 3.5 stars to send them my review first before posting. The author is currently doing a release blitz closer to the time the book is published. But with shadowy movements and charred skin like her own, Vala knows he is not like the rest.Īs threats to the prince continue and questions about Vala’s life begin to rise, she faces a fear worse than fire or water, worse even than losing him. When the high kingdom’s princess comes to assess the prince, assassins of rival courtiers come to claim his life. She has grown with him, lives her life for him. ![]() Recognizing an asset, the royal family welcomed her on their Guard. For how could one be scorched by magic when it had perished ages before? ![]() With charred skin as rough as rock, Vala was instantly feared. ![]() Nineteen years ago, on the island kingdom of Garlin, a girl was born. MillerĪn eArc was provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review ![]() ![]() ![]() To further his own research on English society, Sebastian agrees to let Grace transform him from a bespectacled, bookish academic into a dashing-albeit fake-rake. Grace’s colleague, anthropologist Sebastian Holloway, is just the blank slate she requires. Her solution: to “build” the perfect man, who will court her publicly and help her catch his eye. ![]() But when a handsome, celebrated naturalist returns from abroad, Grace wishes, for once, to be noticed. Lady Grace Wyatt is content as a wallflower, focusing on scientific pursuits rather than the complications of society matches. Meet the Union of the Rakes-a new Regency romance series inspired by the Breakfast Club and other classic 80s films! In the first book, a bluestocking enlists a faux suitor to help her land an ideal husband only to be blindsided by real desire… “A jolt of electricity, a blast of fresh air-everything delightful and exciting you could want it to be.” - The New York Times Book Review ![]() “ feast of female empowerment, positive friendships, feel-good moments, and social satire.” - NPR ![]() ![]() ![]() This redeems his otherwise bland personage for me, by giving his character a sense of novelty. He goes to university but doesn’t care much for his studies and casually sleeps with girls alongside his egotistical friend. The pressure to be an exceptional student, attend a prestigious university and follow the linear path of social acceptableness is such that many people in Japan feel driven to such a tragic end. Norwegian Wood is contextually aware in its allusion to suicide. Toru Watanabe, the protagonist, hears the song Norwegian Wood by the Beatles aboard a flight and is instantly transported back to his disillusioned youth after his best friend, Kizuki committed suicide leaving Toru and Kizuki’s girlfriend, Naoko mutually bereaved, the grief of which somehow sexually gravitates them to one another. Murakami writes with such poetry and enticing perversity in this tonally sombre book, published in 1987. ![]() ![]() ![]() Delivery with Standard Australia Post usually happens within 2-10 business days from time of dispatch.You can track your delivery by going to AusPost tracking and entering your tracking number - your Order Shipped email will contain this information for each parcel. ![]() Tracking delivery Saver Delivery: Australia postĪustralia Post deliveries can be tracked on route with eParcel. ![]() NB All our estimates are based on business days and assume that shipping and delivery don't occur on holidays and weekends.

And her counterpart, the story’s antagonist Lily, also falls neatly into a type of her own, hers being the too-good-to-be-true outsider that, by story’s end, will be revealed to be an impostor of some sort.Īnyone, except maybe the middle-grade audience Littlewood wrote Bliss for, can see how things will play out when Rose’s parents, who’d never let Rose make any magic recipes, leave and give her the key to the place their special cookbook is hidden. Rose, our main character, is pretty typical in her all-consuming desire to feel special and pretty. All the different magical recipes were so cute and clever I was sad there had to be a story to accompany them.Įspecially one that breaks so little new ground when you remove said recipes from the equation. Similar to Rose, I was in awe when I read about her mother folding lightning into one of her baked goods, all in order to save a young boy who’d been struck by lightning. ![]() In that case, it was the castle itself in this case, it’s the magical recipes Rosemary Bliss’s parents make for the townspeople. Not unlike with Tuesdays at the Castle, there was a kernel of something special here. ![]() |
