So much courage! Katie, now Katherine, is struggling with finding herself in a world that is foreign to her. The shunning she had to endure was heartbreaking on so many levels. I felt only compassion for sweet Katie and the heartache she felt as her life drastically changed by her desire to know more of her birthmother. The Shunning: great intro to the characters, religion, atmosphere, and traditions. I admit I was consumed with the story from the very beginning. She knows me well enough and shares my reading passion, so I took it home and started reading about the Amish - of which I know very little about. My sweet cousin recommended this Amish trilogy. ![]() ![]() The artwork is also shared via other Little, Brown Books for Young Readers social media networks, including the dedicated Facebook page for the series, which has garnered more than 26,000 “likes.” Other digital and social media components of the promotion include Facebook and Tumblr book giveaways, and a Daughter of Smoke & Bone Tumblr site showcasing fan-art as well as an interactive walking tour map highlighting sites in Prague that appear in the novels. ![]() Scheduled for April 3, the author’s final Goodreads Q&A will focus on Night of Cake & Puppets (2013), an e-book novella revealing two of the trilogy’s supporting characters’ first date.

This series of books runs well beyond the five books reviewed below. ![]() ![]() I think the two series have similar appeal. I plan to give these books to a kid who was a big fan of Ian Ogilvy’s Measle Stubbs series. Illustrated with whimsical crudeness suggesting the diary of a wimpy kid in the Dark Ages, the books offer a blend of rambunctious humor, adventure, diabolical wit, and a light touch of sentimentality that will win over many kids entering the “independent reader” stage. His memoirs have only recently been translated from the Old Norse by an Englishwoman named Cressida Cowell, whose husband Simon is apparently unrelated to the TV personality of the same name. Officially, the How to Train Your Dragon series was authored by a Viking hero named Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III, who lived some 1,500 years ago on an island called Berk. Only now do I realize how very, very little the original book and its sequels have in common with the movie. If I had known then what I know now, I might have been unfairly prejudiced against a fine piece of motion-picture entertainment. Perhaps it’s just as well that I hadn’t read the book it was supposedly based on. I thought then, and I still think, that it was a very good movie. Not too long ago, I saw the animated film How to Train Your Dragon. ![]() ![]() She was involved with the most exciting adventure mankind had ever undertaken: a manned expedition to Mars.

And some of them take place somewhere on Earth instead of space. There’s even a few that don’t have a lot of focus on the horror element, but leans heavily towards sci-fi or another genre like thriller or mystery. I’ve also included a few books that have a similar isolation and creepy atmosphere to them that ‘space horror’ has. If not, the humans might’ve unknowingly, maybe even purposely disturbed something that they shouldn’t have. Nearly all of them is set in deep space on a spaceship, research station, moon, and so on with an unknown entity–be it a deadly extraterrestrial, alien virus and whatnot that the protagonist must face. ![]() Most of the books are considered space horror, a subgenres of science fiction. ![]() If you enjoyed the survival horror game franchise Dead Space, you might enjoy some of these book recommendations. ![]() ![]() ![]() While Modan has been in the international spotlight for several years now, a lot of comic aficionados had not heard of her prior to the release of Exit Wounds. Despite winning the coveted ‘Best Book of the Year’ at the Eisner Awards, very few readers in India have actually heard of it or read it. Rutu Modan’s Exit Wounds was one of those.

In Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez's Perfumes: The A-Z Guide (2010), Turin pinpoints L'Artisan Parfumeur, founded 1976, as “the first niche firm”, and in the series’ second volume, names the opening of New York City perfume boutique Aedes de Venustas in 1995 as marking “the earliest days of the Cambrian Explosion of Niche.” In the last decades of the 20th century and first years of the 21st, niche perfumery gained a following especially in Europe and North America among people looking for unique scents, as niche houses generally made smaller batches than designer or celebrity fragrances and were thus less ubiquitous at a given moment. These companies are generally smaller than the major fragrance firms like Coty Inc., Puig, and Firmenich, but bigger than "indie perfume" lines that are generally owned and operated by the perfumer themselves. ![]() |
