![]() ![]() I liked that the characters were relatable. I also enjoyed the back and forth between the characters and their long drawn out romantic story line. In my experience I enjoyed it being predictable with its hero-complex. For some it can be comforting that they can predict the ending or parts of the book. At times it was very predictable, which again is not a bad thing. I am not saying that is a good thing or a bad thing. The premise of the story was similar to a Nicholas Sparks book/movie. Aurora might not be ready for love quite yet but that doesn't stop her from looking at her handsome landlord, Rhodes. Content of the Book:įollowing her divorce from a country music star, Aurora De La Torre heads back to where she grew up in Colorado to find herself and reconnect with the live she lived there with her mother. I always look forward to a good romance or love story. As this was a Snitch's choice I was excited to read it because I have a high track record of liking her choices. May 2022's choice was All Rhodes Lead Here by Mariana Zapata. As an active Readheads member I read the chosen book each month. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first three stories formed a continuation of the two Alien films that had been released by the time they were published. Dark Horse hasn't published any original graphic novels on the concept. ![]() The heads of Dark Horse Comics made a decision early on to not publish ongoing or unlimited titles from the license and compose the line as a series of limited series, one-shots and short stories with a main focus on limited series because they believed that it would allow more creative freedom and flexibility for the writers and artists. Later series also included the further adventures of Ellen Ripley, with other stories being unique to the Alien universe and are often used to explore other aspects of the species, such as their sociology and biology, and also tying into Dark Horse Comics' Predator and Aliens vs. Originally intended as a sequel to James Cameron's 1986 film Aliens, the first mini-series features the characters of Rebecca "Newt" Jorden and Corporal Dwayne Hicks. The stories often feature the company Weyland-Yutani and the United States Colonial Marines. ![]() Aliens is a line of several comic books set in the fictional universe of the Alien films published by Dark Horse Comics from 1988 forward. ![]() ![]() ![]() Vaughn and Jonah find themselves grappling not just with stolen art, but with their own differences. When another painting goes missing, tension ramps up both on and off the clock. No way can Jonah give Vaughn what he really wants, not when Jonah barely understands what love is. But Vaughn seems to be the one gay guy in Toronto who doesn’t do hookups, which is all Jonah can offer. Jonah wants his men like his coffee: hot, intense, and daily. But when a piece is stolen from his art gallery and insurance investigator Jonah Sondern shows up, Vaughn finds himself struggling with that decision. That’s all he really needs, especially since sex isn’t his forte anyway and no one else seems interested in a purely romantic connection. The decision to stop dating has made Vaughn Hargrave’s life infinitely simpler: he has friends, an excellent wardrobe, and a job in the industry he loves. ![]() ![]() January is proving to be a very bleak month.- Sophie Robinson January 16, 2016 Snape died, Bowie died, my boiler broke and I'm in the final chapters of A Little Life. The story narrows its focus on Jude: broken, full of secrets, self-harming, slicing his calves and arms at 2am, his body a web of scar tissue. They are all, improbably, incredibly successful: JB in the art world, Malcolm as a “starchitect”, Willem as an actor and Jude as a litigator. Set in the present, A Little Life is about four young men – friends from the same college – who move to New York to chase big careers. According to Jon Michaud in the New Yorker: “Yanagihara’s novel can also drive you mad, consume you and take over your life.” He’s right: the big book of our Australian summer is as bleak and addictive as they come. My friend Tom texted, “Horrendous but there are 150+ pages of bad stuff,” and then, a week later, “I am still thinking about the book.” On Facebook, one friend told me, “IT IS SLAYING ME,” and another suggested a support group. Ever since Christmas – when the novel’s prevalence on year-end lists guaranteed its spot among my friends as a gloomy, dauntingly large stocking filler – the messages have been rolling in. ![]() ![]() ![]() Having previously experienced critical and cultural theory as something inherently Complex, Challenging, and Difficult, Mark’s elegant, concise, and crystal-clear writing made theory seem not just easy to understand, but also vital and urgent in our daily lives. More than merely formative, this book became a defining influence for my writing, my teaching, and my experience of everyday life under neoliberal capitalism. Here, at last, I had found a book that that demonstrated the vital function of cultural theory in the 21st century, and did it in a way that was incisive, accessible, energizing, and an absolute joy to read. While flailing around to get my dissertation started, I happened across Capitalist Realism just when I needed it most. I FIRST HEARD Mark Fisher’s name in graduate school at a time when I was just like Jon Snow from Game of Thrones: I felt like I was constantly being reminded of the obvious and painful fact that I truly knew nothing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Set in close-future 2052, this snapshot from The Fall takes place on the training ground as two of the characters get taken through the paces of the BACC – Bio Armour Combat Chassis – suits, fictional body-armour worn by the military in the book. The suit is ten times tougher than Kevlar,’ – rapping her knuckles against her chest – ‘but super flexible with fibre-reinforced hydrogel at the joints. You can see it as the grey running through the black. ‘The smartfybre material, boys,’ – John raised an eyebrow at Matt, ‘boys’ was a liberty – ‘is a lightweight but damn resilient carbon-nanotube mesh of graphene with a reinforcing cross-matrix of goethite thread. So sit back and enjoy a delve into the tech of The Fall and how it may not be all that far fetched after all……. Campitelli approached me about a guest post I jumped at the chance to get to know more about the world he had created. Campitelli, Set in 2052 Post Apocalyptic Australia, the novel secured a 4* review from this blog and can be found here. Last month Beverly reviewed The Fall by S.T. ![]() ![]() ![]() Employing the same helter-skelter style that brought vibrant immediacy to his international hit “City of God,” on which Meirelles collaborated with Katia Lund, helmer employs in-your-face camerawork to bring the Kenyan locations intensely alive at the same time, the rapid-fire approach is nothing like a visual correlative of the elegant relentlessness of the author’s style. Meirelles, working from a script by Jeffrey Caine, has managed to arrive at basically the same destination as le Carre, but via a very different artistic road. ![]() Le Carre uses the sharpest of scalpels in performing a comprehensive sociopolitical autopsy on the remains of a murdered young woman whose provocative discoveries threatened to explode the hypocrisies, lax ethics, betrayals and assorted other ills of international pharmaceutical giants and government bureaucracies - Western and African - that support the use of Third World populations as guinea pigs. Although untempered anger seethes from all 560 pages of le Carre’s best-selling 2001 novel, it is channeled by the author’s acute ability to release it in precisely modulated quantities through the cracks in his characters’ fastidiously rendered British diplomatese. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Until, that is, Wallace Warland transfers to her school, and reveals that he’s one of Monstrous Sea’s biggest and earliest fans.Įliza wants to be honest with Wallace, but sometimes secrets get so big that they take on a life of their own.Įliza is a major introvert and has severe anxiety issues, and she’d much rather fade into the background than ever be noticed. It gives her more time to focus on her webcomic, Monstrous Sea … and its millions of fans, who expect new pages every week.Įliza’s also more than OK with not having friends amongst her classmates. ![]() She’s content to be seen as a weird loner. Her life doesn’t revolve around school or extracurricular activities. She sketches her panels out with pencil, but does all of her inking and colors on the computer, so it would have been more book-accurate if the smudges on the girl’s hands were charcoal or graphite-colored.Įliza Mirk is a loner, and she’s happy(ish) that way. Relationship Status: Let’s Do This Again SoonĪlthough I dig the paint-splattered hands of the young woman on the cover-I, too, get paint all over myself, even when I try my hardest not to-the art the main character of the book creates is a webcomic, not paintings. Bonus Factors: Online Friends, Tie-in Works ![]() ![]() ![]() So very wrong! Because while that may have been my first impression of them, I got to learn who they were. Slade Edmunds came across as a slacker who seemed to have maturity issues and Trina Clemons was a control freak who didn’t know how to let loose and have fun. Ironically, I started out this book unsure if it was going to work for me. Playing the Player was the perfect feel good story and such a huge win! Not even two weeks into this gig and it had all turned upside down and backward. Plus it had the perfect amount of angst that pulled at my heart. I honestly can’t remember the last time a book made me laugh this much. I couldn’t stop smiling or keep the laughter contained that kept bubbling out of me. But nothing gets between a boy and a girl like a big, fat secret. Fortunately, Trina has no idea about the bet Slade made with his best friend that he can totally get her to unwind by the end of summer. She's all structure and rules, while Slade wants to just have fun. Slade Edmunds prefers easy hook-ups, and Trina is definitely not his type. Just don't ask her about the secret job of "fixing" the bad habits of a certain high school player. Why else would she - the most organized, prepared student in school - spend the summer as a nanny and partner with the biggest slacker ever? Now she's ready to tackle nannyhood with her big binder of research and schedules. ![]() |
