At her husband’s ancestral castle of Burg Lingenfels, Marianne von Lingenfels is throwing a party. The novel opens with a prologue set in 1938. A New York Times bestseller, critics hailed The Women in the Castle as a novel that “makes sincere, evocative use of family history to explore complicity and the long arc of individual responses to a mass crime” ( Kirkus Reviews). Set during the Second World War, American author Jessica Shattuck’s historical novel The Women in the Castle (2017) follows three women-the widows of men killed in a failed attempt to assassinate Hitler-as they cope with the devastation of their country and the collective guilt of the German people. ![]()

This year, as last year, I managed to pass the target by a comfortable margin: 62(!) books read, assuming I don’t finish the current book before January 1. So: 13 four-week periods times three books. To wit: The library’s check-out period is four weeks I always take out three books (one “general” fiction, one nonfiction, one alternating between mystery and fantasy/science fiction). I started keeping a spreadsheet of books I’d read three or four years ago (OK: January 6, 2011–make that “five years ago”) because I was starting to use the excellent local public library a lot more and, being old, didn’t want to accidentally pick up the same book twice.Īs a side-effect, the spreadsheet lets me know how many books I’ve actually read each year. ![]() ![]() James’s Park, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, among others.

Peter Davids first, transformative X-FACTOR run in one volume Havok, Polaris, Quicksilver, Multiple Man, Wolfsbane and Strong Guy are the all-new, all. The humor lands most of the time, but can sometimes feel overtly like its Peter David speaking a dialogue rather than a character. David charges the comic with pop culture references and lightheartedness, making it feel like a sitcom, with lots of great character work (especially in The Therapy Issue #87). He leaves in #81 and afterword the art becomes very 90s, with Jae Lee especially kind of bad. Stroman’s art with Milgrom inking is great and reminiscent of the 80s. ![]() ![]() Peter David, Larry Stroman and Al Milgrom take over as writer, artist and inker. in sometimes comical situations and sometimes very serious conflicts with ideological underlying motivations. The newly formed team, consisting of Havok, Polaris, Strong Guy, Wolfsbane, Multiple Man and Quicksilver, with Valerie Cooper acting as their government liaison, fight a variety of villains like the Nasty Boys, Mutant Liberation Front and Stryfe, Hells Belles, Brotherhood of Evil Mutants etc. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments Trixie mo willems![]() ![]() My favorite picture (although it's hard to chose just one) would have to be the one accompanying the words "So Trixie's daddy decided to look harder." I love the look on Trixie's daddy's face as he rolls up his sleeves. Vibrant colorful characters are layered over black and white photographs of Brooklyn, New York. I think the real genius is in the illustrations. the endpapers, the copyright page and the back cover all advance the plot. I also love how Willems uses every available space to tell his story. ![]() (Every child or adult I've shown this book to has known exactly what going boneless means). The writing and illustrations are funny, and both adults and children get the jokes. The pacing is excellent and moments of drama are inserted at just the right times. ![]() The sentence structure is fairly simple with only one sentence per page (a crucial element in a book for young children). ![]() First, it's realistic and easy to relate to (ask any parent who has lost their child's favorite stuffed animal). What makes this book so good? So many reasons. (Or maybe you have.) Mo Willems manages to turn this basic story into a riveting page turner that children can't wait to read again and again and again (and again). That's because you haven't read the book. Doesn't sound like amazing drama, does it? a little girl (Trixie) loses her stuffed bunny at the laundromat. Be prepared to read it aloud many many many times.Īh.
