![]() ![]() He is the baby of the world, because he is the baby of the world. ![]() Julius the baby of the world is THE baby of the world. I like a lot of Henkes's books but really just do not like this one. If it's ok (and even supposed to be considered funny) for Lily to hate her little brother, then why can't the child I am reading the book to hate her little brother, too? Sure, Lily grows out of it by the end of the book, but the bulk of the book (and the most memorable part) involves her hating and torturing Julius. Of course older siblings are not always thrilled when a new baby comes home, but I still do not like reading books about siblings hating one another. I almost stopped reading it because I was so disturbed that Lily says she hates Julius. The first time I read this book, I was reading it out loud to a child I was babysitting. ![]() I dislike any book that involves an older sibling hating a younger sibling (or any sibling hating any sibling, for that matter). But when Lily's cousin criticizes Julius, Lily's big-sisterly instincts kick in. Lily is not pleased when her parents bring home her little brother, Julius, and spend so much time cooing over him. ![]() ![]() ![]() The will is so odd and includes bequests that are so wildly unlikely that Gamache and the others suspect the woman must have been delusional. None of them had ever met the elderly woman. Still on suspension, and frankly curious, Gamache accepts and soon learns that the other two executors are Myrna Landers, the bookseller from Three Pines, and a young builder. When a peculiar letter arrives inviting Armand Gamache to an abandoned farmhouse, the former head of the Sûreté du Québec discovers that a complete stranger has named him one of the executors of her will.

To read it is to see the last 500 million years not as an endless expanse of unfathomable time, but as a series of worlds, simultaneously fabulous and familiar. Otherlands is a staggering imaginative feat: an emotional narrative that underscores the tenacity of life - yet also the fragility of seemingly permanent ecosystems, including our own. ![]() ![]() These lost worlds seem fantastical and yet every description - whether the colour of a beetle's shell, the rhythm of pterosaurs in flight or the lingering smell of sulphur in the air - is grounded in the fossil record. We visit the birthplace of humanity we hear the crashing of the highest waterfall the Earth has ever known and we watch as life emerges again after the asteroid hits, and the age of the mammal dawns. Halliday immerses us in a series of ancient landscapes, from the mammoth steppe in Ice Age Alaska to the lush rainforests of Eocene Antarctica, with its colonies of giant penguins, to Ediacaran Australia, where the moon is far brighter than ours today. Travelling back in time to the dawn of complex life, and across all seven continents, award-winning young palaeobiologist Thomas Halliday gives us a mesmerizing up close encounter with eras that are normally unimaginably distant. Otherlands is an epic, exhilarating journey into deep time, showing us the Earth as it used to exist, and the worlds that were here before ours. This is the past as we've never seen it before. ![]() ![]() It's up to Shuri to travel from Wakanda in order to discover what is killing the Herb, and how she can save it, in this all-new, original series. No matter what the people of Wakanda do, they can't create new herbs. Much like Vibranium, the Heart Shaped Herb is essential to the survival and prosperity of Wakanda. Indeed, even Shuri herself has gained powers from this mythical herb, which grows only in Wakanda. This middle-grade series follows Shuri as she sets out on a quest to save her homeland of Wakanda.įor centuries, the Chieftain of Wakana (the Black Panther) has gained his powers through the juices of the Heart Shaped Herb. Shuri is a skilled martial artist, a genius, and a master of science and technology. An original, upper-middle-grade series starring the break-out character from the Black Panther comics and films: T'Challa's younger sister, Shuri!Ĭrafted by New York Times best-selling author Nic Stone. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Bailenson’s newest book, Experience on Demand, builds on that earlier work while focusing more clearly - even bluntly - on what we do and don’t know about how VR affects humans.īailenson said in a recent phone call he’s heard from critics who say he didn’t focus on the potential negative uses of VR enough in the book. The book offered an overview of the possibilities of VR and explained studies into how humans behave in virtual environments. “We just don’t call it virtual reality.”Īs I got more interested in VR I read Infinite Reality, which Bailenson co-wrote with Jim Blascovich and published in 2011. “It’s already here,” he told me at the time. I was looking to cut through the hype, and Bailenson offered a level-headed assessment of VR’s status that helped guide my reporting. After seeing a duct-taped prototype of the Oculus Rift for the first time in 2012, one of my first calls was to Jeremy Bailenson at Stanford. ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead, it’s…well, it’s not exactly an allegory, but it’s sort of allegorical. In fact, pretty much everything about the story is ambiguous, often leaving the reader in doubt about what is happening and what has happened.īut you don’t read novels like “The Slynx” in order to find out what happens, although stuff *does* happen in the book. There’s a plot, but it’s not your standard triumphing-over-evil-and-adversity fare. It’s a dystopian novel set several hundred years in the future, but it’s dystopian scifi in the vein of Zamyatin’s “The Cave,” not “The Hunger Games” or all the other popular dystopian scifi pouring out of the US right now.įans of popular Western dystopian fiction may thus find themselves left hanging. Not just a little weird, but full-on, what-is-this-madness, weird. ![]() Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat: “The Slynx” is weird. So I finally decided to rectify this error and fill this lacuna in my reading knowledge. ![]() People were always bringing it up in conversation as something that, of course, we’d all read. “The Slynx” is one of those works that kept circulating on the edge of my reading consciousness. ![]() ![]() ![]() They are constantly doing stuff like calling each other boring, and not enjoying time they spend together, and also not really spending time together in general. I don't think Crystal (our protagonist, an Instagram influencer) and Scott (our love interest, a firefighter) ARE that compatible. I honestly loved these characters and their family (yes, family singular, their grandparents get married in what is a very normal and not at all uncomfortable and insane thing, apparently), and the body positivity plot, but I didn't care about the actual reason we all found ourselves gathered here like at all. My least favorite part of this romance novel was the romance. So, anyway, here it is, what has become basically my catchphrase: But then again, I don't really, because to know about exercise implies doing it, and that sounds horrible. I wish I knew anything about exercise, so that I could make a comparison that would be on theme. Prepare yourselves, because this is going to sound familiar. ![]() ![]() Reading books about working out counts as exercise, I'm pretty sure. ![]() ![]() ![]() Why sinks that cauldron? and what noise is this?Ī show of Eight Kings, the last with a glass in Throbs to know one thing: tell me, if your artĬan tell so much: shall Banquo's issue everĪnd an eternal curse fall on you!
