![]() ![]() Wright has a knack for zeroing in on a main point in a chapter, so they all feel really focused. She cites many of them in the text of this book. If I want more info any of these plagues there are books available. This is not a hard-hitting in depth examination of any of these diseases, but more of a broad overview, which is fine! I think it worked really well for the format. Get Well Soon is a book about famous plagues and diseases (and lobotomies? for some reason?) and not only was it a fast, interesting read, it was also funny (obviously, humor is subjective, and I’ve seen several reviews saying the humor missed the mark for them, but it hit 100% for me-it helps that the audiobook narrator, Gabra Zackman, has a great deadpan delivery). Perhaps it is an indicator of my improving mental health (it is), but I really enjoyed this book! In a morbid, worrisome, fun kind of way. ![]()

That price isn’t just the cost of doing business and running jade and doing what it takes to consolidate power in the city it also exacts a price if you use it wrongly.Įven for those who are used to it, when they take off their jade, and put it back on later, they’ll have a brief moment of nausea, where it takes them a few minutes to get their bearings. On Janloon, the Jade City in question, jade isn’t just a piece of jewelry, but a source of magic - magic that comes, of course, at a price. Are there LGBT characters?

I’m not a huge fan of Daredevil nor have I been the biggest cheerleader for this acclaimed series but it’s had its moments, and this book is arguably the best. Who is the man with the plan?

Friendless Hetty Cartright has found a home working among the stuffed specimens at a major natural history museum in London. With more than a few nods to Jane Eyre and Rebecca, this debut novel throws an awkward but stalwart heroine into a decaying house with history and mystery to spare. ![]() Healey looks back fondly at the tradition of spooky English country-house fiction while adding a few twists of her own. ![]() ![]() They were not the only Jews in this town at the southeastern edge of the Giant Mountains that was home to a synagogue as early as 1559.

She made this book awesome because she is hilarious, even though it was because she is a little childish girl who doesn?t know the danger of all this. I think what made this book so awesome is Kirsti, Annemarie?s little sister. I liked this part because it is very suspenseful and that is what I like about books. My favorite part of the book must have been when the German soldiers went into Annemarie?s house. This book was very suspenseful and interesting. Does Ellen get captured? Does Annemarie change?

A Little Hatred picks up the world of the First Law Novels (and much of us adult fantasy) at time of change. When he releases a new novel, it is an event, especially a novel that features many of his most popular characters as well as their offspring.
