I admit that I was sold as soon as I saw that cover and read the blurb. All Boys Aren’t Blue is a memoir I’ve been curious about ever since I first heard about it, and it turned out to be a very powerful read. Time for another round of Yvo’s Shorties!

This Woven Kingdom By Tahereh Mafi Summary ![]() ![]() ![]() Overall, it was a rewarding experience and I miss reading it.And that's always a good sign.Įdit: One rather trivial thing I couldn't understand. I definitely felt like I have a slight understanding of what those people went through. And though morbid, Willis did a great job describing the black death and it's symptoms. ![]() I really felt the accuracy in this period give otherwise perhaps dull passages (like Roche giving midnight mass on Christmas) so much more life and reality. I welcomed all the "peril" that finally did arrive at the end, but was a bit shocked.I never expected it to be as complete (as in number of deaths). That aside, I loved Kivrin's storyline and all the associated characters, and felt they had an incredible amount of depth. And I think that is why I kept asking myself "how many times are we going to have Dunworthy attempt to get info on the initial drop from Badri while he was in the hospital?" I felt like this suspense plot device (in particular) was so overused as to cause me more frustratration than I can recall while reading a book. Willis seems to try to take this present-day storyline, which has less substance, and stretch it out to match Kivrin's. I was extremely engrossed in Kivrin's storyline in 14th century, but far less in present day timeline. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Silko's first novel, Ceremony (1977), is a nonchronological work that interweaves free verse poetry and narrative prose.

As a child she attended schools administered by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and also learned about Laguna legends and traditions from her great-grand-mother and other members of her extended family. Silko, of Laguna Pueblo, Plains Indian, Mexican, and Anglo-American descent, was born in Albuquerque and raised on the Laguna Pueblo Reservation in northern New Mexico. She blends western literary forms with the oral traditions of her Laguna Pueblo heritage to communicate Native American concepts concerning time, nature, and spirituality and their relevance in the contemporary world. Leslie Silko (born 1948) is one of the foremost authors to emerge from the Native American literary renaissance of the 1970s. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Listening For God Paperback edition by Renita J. In sharing her own strategies for redefining mundane rituals so that they contribute to reverence and devotion, Weems offers a beacon of light for all believers struggling to listen for God amidst the din of worldly demands and distractions. Her own spiritual disquietude will be familiar to all who struggle to maintain faith while the details of daily life - negotiating with children and spouses, caring for ailing parents, living up to professional expectations, developing hobbies, managing finances, and planning for the future - compete for energy with one's relationship with God. In this deeply affecting book, Weems addresses the believer's yearning for God through periods of inconstancy, vacillation, and disenchantment. Yet in the midst of her celebrated work, she was experiencing a profound spiritual crisis permeated by a hollow, painful silence that seemed, at times, to mark an irreparable rupture in her communication with God. Weems has been noted and praised for her writing, galvanizing national speaking, and pioneering scholarship in the field of Old Testament studies. Throughout the past two decades, Renita J.

Jacobs’ short story, “The Monkey’s Paw,” in which a magical talisman gives an elderly couple more magic than they bargained for. The images came from, respectively, Goethe’s poem, “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” the “Fisherman and the Genie” fable in One Thousand and One Nights, and W.W. That Wiener was instrumental in creating the technologies he warned about demonstrates the insistent obstinance of his peculiar genius. I’ve been preoccupied lately with thoughts of marauding broomsticks, genies in bottles, and monkey’s paws.Īll are literary images the scientist Norbert Wiener used to make the point that we fool ourselves if we think we have our technologies firmly under control. ![]() ![]() It’s a testament to Strout’s clear-minded, direct prose that the reader doesn’t need to strictly follow the plot to empathize with Strout’s characters and their challenges. Truly, it’s entirely possible to read the books out of order and be completely in sync with the world of these characters. This is, in fact, the fourth book in which Lucy, her friends, and family surface, but please don’t call this a series. This is a cathartic and gripping novel that explores the depths of our knowledge of others and the lengths to which we will go in order to save the ones we love. As they muddle through the days and weeks that made up the early days of the pandemic, so do we. It’s from this removed perspective that Strout tosses us together with these individuals who share two grown daughters, several marriages between them, and a lifetime of history. Her ex-husband, William, demands she join him in a rented home in Maine, far from their respective Manhattan apartments. Recent widow Lucy finds herself as we all did in March 2020, wholly unprepared for the pandemic. On the heels of becoming a Booker Prize finalist for her 2021 novel, Oh William!, Elizabeth Strout returns to her iconic character Lucy Barton for her ninth book, Lucy by the Sea, also one of Oprah Daily’s favorite books of the year. ![]() Elizabeth Strout’s Lucy by the Sea Oprah Daily ![]() ![]() ![]() A massive EMP sweeps over the country killing the old man and leaving Alex and Ellie alone. Whilst in the forest Alex meets an old man and his grand daughter, Ellie, but before they’ve even had a chance to get through their introductions chaos descends. She doesn’t expect to come back from her trip into the wild but things are set to change dramatically. ![]() Alex has an inoperable brain tumor and has reached the decision to stop with her medication. ![]() They’ve turned into flesh hunting creatures – I don’t know whether you would call them zombies or not but they are like wild animals, craving human flesh but they are not without intelligence and the ability to adapt and that together with their savagery and speed makes them absolutely terrifying.Īt the start of the story, and pre the events that change the world, Alex is on a lone hiking expedition, she is carrying her parents ashes and is looking for closure and answers. The young people become known as the ‘changed’. There are a few other survivors who, for differing reasons don’t die and become known as the ‘spared’. The world is devastated by a series of events that change the nature of everything we know, killing most people – and leaving only the young or old alive. This is a post apocalyptic style of book with a bit of flesh eating canibalism thrown in. Just finished reading Ashes by Ilsa J Bick and must say this was a totally gripping, fast paced, edge of the seat type of story. ![]() |
