The number of critters and beta readers who’ve had a hand in the book is simply astounding. I’d like to thank my agent, Ethan Ellenberg, for taking me on Steve Feldberg of who saw the potential in the book and my editor, Betsy Mitchell.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Goodall says one of the most important factors in saving a species is the emotional bond that develops between scientists and their subjects - like her attachment to the chimpanzees she studied in Tanzania. Goodall tells Weekend All Things Considered Host Guy Raz that "if we think about only the downside of it, then we lose all hope, and then we are so discouraged that we don't do anything." The book is a collection of stories about those species and a celebration of the spirited efforts that saved them. There are discoveries yet to be made."Īnd, she says, there are species that have been pulled back from extinction by dedicated environmentalists. In her latest book, Hope for Animals and Their World: How Endangered Species Are Being Rescued from the Brink, she writes, "There are surely plants and animals living in the remote places beyond our current knowledge. But famed biologist Jane Goodall says she refuses to give up. Thousands of species go extinct every year, and climate change is closing in. Sometimes, it seems like there's no hope for the planet. ![]() ![]() ![]() “A gorgeous story about what it means to be forgotten.” -Buzzfeed “A beautifully evocative cover and a feminist angle on Mozart’s older sister, Nannerl (a talented pianist and composer in her own right), will have readers grabbing for Lu’s latest title.” - Booklist In her first work of historical fiction, #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu spins a lush, lyrically-told story of music, magic, and the unbreakable bond between a brother and sister. He has the power to make her wish come true-but his help may cost her everything. His brilliance begins to eclipse her own, until one day a mysterious stranger from a magical land appears with an irresistible offer. She will perform only until she reaches a marriageable age-her tyrannical father has made that much clear.Īnd as Nannerl's hope grows dimmer with each passing year, the talents of her beloved younger brother, Wolfgang, only seem to shine brighter. She is a young woman in 18th century Europe, and that means composing is forbidden to her. But even as she delights audiences with her masterful playing, she has little hope she'll ever become the acclaimed composer she longs to be. ![]() ![]() But only one Mozart.īorn with a gift for music, Nannerl Mozart has just one wish-to be remembered forever. From #1 New York Times bestselling author Marie Lu comes a historical YA fantasy about a musical prodigy and the dangerous lengths she'll go to make history remember her-perfect for fans of Susanna Clarke and The Hazel Wood. ![]() ![]() ![]() Set in a sprawling far-future timeline known as the Confederation Universe, it was a huge departure from his early gritty SF noir. ![]() Hamilton made a name for himself in the early 90s with a popular SF series featuring Greg Mandel, a veteran of a tactical psychic unit in the British army who becomes a psychic detective in a near-future Britain where the messy collapse of a communist government has left the country in ruins ( Mindstar Rising, A Quantum Murder, and The Nano Flower).īy 1998 he had a bestselling space opera series on his hands, the Night’s Dawn trilogy. ![]() ![]() Hamilton (adapted for Love, Death & Robots, 2019) ![]() ![]() Despite being treated harshly by the brother and Valka, and constantly used as an excuse for them to misbehave-the word misbehave are actually mild, compared to what the brother and Valka actually did-yet Alyrra took it all in without much protest. She tries her best to be sweet and proper in front of everyone, especially her brother. ![]() When reading Thorn, I've always wondered what she did to Valka (a.k.a the antagonist of Thorn) to be loathed so much by her own brother, and the fact that this did not bother her mother at all made it more questionable.Īt the start of Brambles, readers are introduced to the young Princess Alyrra. Brambles is the novella prequel to Thorn, and it gives a brief background to how everything started for Princess Alyrra. Being a huge fan of Thorn, I was over the moon when Intisar Khanani announced the release of Brambles. ![]() ![]() Somehow, overnight, Al has aged years and contracted a fatal illness. In this case, it begins in Lisbon Falls, Maine (of course), in a diner whose proprietor, Al Templeton, summons Jake Epping for an urgent meeting. The suspension of disbelief required here happens almost before the book begins. ![]() He is, instead, offering a tale richly layered with the pleasures we’ve come to expect: characters of good heart and wounded lives, whose adventures into the fantastic are made plausible because they are anchored in reality, in the conversations and sense of place that take us effortlessly into the story. Dick (“ The Man in the High Castle”), or the Charles Lindbergh presidency of Philip Roth (“ The Plot Against America”). This does not belong on the What If? shelf that has given us the Nazis-win works of Robert Harris (“ Fatherland”) and Philip K. Not until 800 pages have gone by in “ 11/22/63” does King offer up an account of the world as it might have been, and even then it has a cursory, I’m-doing-this-because-I have-to feel to it.

Tykir terpaksa menyetujui tugas aneh bin ajaib itu, menangkap penyihir wanita yang sudah mengguna-gunai isi celana sang Raja.

Viking muda ini bisa dibilang sudah lelah berdagang tahun itu dan ingin segera mudik musim dingin untuk mengistirahatkan lututnya yang cedera di kampung halamannya, Dragonstead. ![]() Tykir Thorksson yang hebat, tampan dan mempesona, masih hangover parah ketika utusan sepupunya, Sang Raja Norse sendiri menyampaikan tugas penting super rahasia untuknya. Tapi hero yang seksi tapi nakal, kocak dan punya pede berlebihan? Itu benar-benar harta karun. Tipe garang dan jutek, bermasa lalu suram ataupun punya luka batin, itu sudah biasa. Dengan begitu banyaknya novel historical yang didominasi karakter hero yang setipe, bisa menemukan novel Mrs Sandra Hill dengan karakternya yang anti mainstream itu adalah berkah tersendiri. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Are they ghosts who live in the wretchedly creepy old house? Are they demons? The house seems to be draped in mystery, particularly for the folks who walk past it with a vocal curiosity as to whether Ted is the one who’s been kidnapping all these kids. Oh, and some entities who he calls the green boys in the attic. He also lives with a belligerent bout of alcoholism. He lives alone with his cat Olivia and daughter Lauren. ![]() ![]() Of course, all eyes fall to the nearest suspects, the primary of whom is Ted. A grip of vanishings over a relatively short amount of time. A haven full of sunbathers, ice cream stands, sandcastles…and missing children. There’s a lake at the end of Needless Street, a place families have enjoyed for generations. In The Last House on Needless Street, Catriona Ward introduces us to Ted Bannerman, a gentleman who lives in the novel’s storied namesake. Much like a Russian doll, rarely does a person’s demeanor and personality express the whole of what’s within. And the more we limit our own playtime with the world outside, the more elaborate we can tend to paint the leaves of our environment. Everyone’s world is theirs alone, as translated by each of our grey matter inhabitants. As someone who has had ample experience with both mind-altering drugs and mind-altering head injuries, I can comfortably attest to the magnitude of the human brain’s aptitude for trippiness. ![]() ![]() Overwhelming on the sentiment and light on the anxiety with only a touch of tension to get your heartbeat beating, Blush for Me is certain to keep you stuck to your Kindle through and through.
