5/23/2023 0 Comments In Sensorium by TanaïsAt the heart of this work is an interrogation of the ancient violence of caste, rape culture, patriarchy, war, and the inherited ancestral trauma of being from a verdant land constantly denuded and extracted, a land still threatened and disappearing because of colonization, capitalism, and climate change. At once memoir and reckoning, In Sensorium interlaces memories of childhood in the South, Midwest and New York with a universe of memories and scent-a sensorium-while offering a critical, alternate history of South Asia from a Bangladeshi Muslim femme perspective. From the critically acclaimed author of Bright Lines comes a brilliant and expansive collection of meditations on the history of South Asia through the lens of our most primordial yet sense: scent.

Bree is called to a scene where a man is found with his head wrapped in plastic with his hands and legs tied. She’s worried about them and wants to spend some more time with them, but of course murder calls. She’s trying to deal with the fact that her niece and nephew are going to experience their first Christmas without their mother. Bree has come out in public that she is dating Matt. “Lie to Her” takes place several months after the events in the last book. I loved that this one took on the world of online dating (did that, have the t-shirt, it’s bad out there) and how love can quickly turn to hate. It also had me kind of going well they sucked with the victims, but you feel some pity for the people they left behind. I was honestly surprised by the reveal of who it was too (which I always love) and loved the back and forth chapters following Bree and Matt via third person point of view to the first person point of the view of the murderer. Maybe because this is the first one where Leigh decided to have us follow the murderer the way we did. So this was a fantastic read in the Bree Taggert series. Please note I received this book via NetGalley. 5/22/2023 0 Comments The combinations by louis armand"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. THE COMBINATIONS is a text whose 1) erudition dazzles, 2) structure humbles, 3) monotony never bores, 4) humour disarms, 5) relentlessness overwhelms, 6) storytelling captivates, 7) poignancy remains poignant, and 8) style simply never exhausts itself.

Sybella has always been the darkest of Death’s daughters, trained at the convent of Saint Mortain to serve as his justice. TO PREORDER: INDIE BOUND B&N BOOKS A MILLION POWELL’S AMAZONĭeath wasn’t the end, it was only the beginning. Here, the Daughters of Death finally embrace the full depth of their power-and try to make whole that which has been broken, including themselves. Plans fail, fragile loyalties are tested, and bridges burn in this riveting conclusion to the Courting Darkness duology. It will take all of Genevieve’s strength of will and cunning, along with Sybella’s willingness to embrace her growing power. Though she may have been a fool, she is no coward and will do whatever it takes to set things right and ensure her Queen’s-and Sybella’s-safety. Some mistakes cannot be fixed-that is Genevieve’s growing fear. But with long held secrets exposed and allegiances revealed, Sybella must form an uneasy trust borne of desperation to combat enemies at the French court who would have them branded as traitors and heretics. Hoping to find an ally from the convent, Sybella instead discovers yet another initiate who has been misled and misused by the former abbess of Saint Mortain. IGNITING DARKNESS Book Two in the Darkness Duology 5/22/2023 0 Comments The last musketeer seriesPlanet Earth has billions of different locations, all of which are different from each other - but the exterior of the moon is basically the same, no matter where you go. Meanwhile, the world outside the moon base was also more limiting than I had realized. I had originally planned to bring in new residents (which is why the Patucket family is mentioned) but after three books, I was having trouble coming up with new ways to make life in the moon base exciting. Moon Base Alpha was small and cramped there weren’t many rooms and less than thirty residents. I was very pleased with the world that I created, but it had an unforeseen side effect: My good friend, astronaut Garrett Reisman, who was overseeing the human space flight program at SpaceX, served as my technical advisor. But I also made the decision to write a sci-fi series where space travel was depicted as realistically as possible. When I first started writing this series, I really thought it might run for a long time. The reasons I stopped writing each series are quite different. The posts where I explained this are now a couple years old, so I thought I would revisit the issue. The information in this post may be old news to many of you, but I have been getting a lot of questions from readers asking why both MBA and Musketeer stopped at three books. With more detail on particular experiments than the famous thirteenth-century Picatrix and more variety than the Thesaurus Necromantiae ascribed to Roger Bacon, the manual is one of the most interesting and important manuscripts of medieval magic that has yet come to light. It is exceptional, however, in the scope and variety of its contents-prayers and conjurations, rituals of sympathetic magic, procedures involving astral magic, a catalogue of spirits, lengthy ceremonies for consecrating a book of magic, and other materials. Like many medieval texts for the use of magicians, this handbook is a miscellany rather than a systematic treatise. The result is the most vivid and readable introduction to medieval magic now available. Forbidden Rites consists of an edition of this medieval Latin text with a full commentary, including detailed analysis of the text and its contents, discussion of the historical context, translation of representative sections of the text, and comparison with other necromantic texts of the late Middle Ages. Preserved in the Bavarian State Library in Munich is a manuscript that few scholars have noticed and that no one in modern times has treated with the seriousness it deserves. |
