We are about to draw to a close to the first quarter of the year. What’s more, is that today is the second to the last Monday of March. Sometimes I feel like the weekend is just a fleeting moment that rarely lingers. With the crew turning on each other, Asuka is determined to find the culprit before they all lose faith in the mission-or worse, the bomber strikes again. But estranged from her mother back home, The Phoenix is all she has left. She was the last picked for the mission, she struggled during training back on Earth, and she was chosen to represent Japan, a country she only partly knows as a half-Japanese girl raised in America. Asuka, the only surviving witness, is an immediate suspect.Īsuka already felt like an impostor before the explosion. But halfway to a distant but livable planet, a lethal bomb kills three of the crew and knocks The Phoenix off course. A single ship carries humanity’s last hope: eighty elite graduates of a competitive program, who will give birth to a generation of children in deep space. It is the eve of Earth’s environmental collapse. Yume Kitasei’s The Deep Sky is an enthralling sci fi thriller debut about a mission into deep space that begins with a lethal explosion that leaves the survivors questioning the loyalty of the crew.

They weren’t exactly what each other wanted at first, but they were exactly what each other needed. I won’t reveal too much, but you need to read this book to understand Persy’s light and love was exactly what was needed to crack that tiny chink hiding in Kill’s deep armor. LJ surprised us by gifting us Persy as Cillian’s lover but god when you read this book Persephone may have been the goddess of spring, but she was also queen of the underworld & she’s more than ready to take Hades head on The suspected meek and naive younger Penrose sister with a crown of golden hair and a bleeding heart on her sleeve is anything but. He’s a stone brick wall guarded by thicker walls of steel. But He’s also cold, calculating, and most of all flawed. I won’t lie he gives off total Vicious vibes and I never thought I’d find another incredible character like him until Kill He is everything we’d thought he’d be and more. A story as all consuming as it’s characters, The Villain finally gives us the depraved and soulless Cillian Fitzpatrick and a rare glimpse into his dark callous heart Meanwhile, the real work of Georgia’s life bustles all around her: her crazy-in-love 81-year-old mother, two best and brutally honest friends, and two daughters tentatively embarking on their own complicated lives-an expertly drawn cast of characters that includes the perfect foils for the alternately quixotic and practical Georgia. Here, 54-year-old optometrist Georgia Young, bored with her work and romantically adrift after two failed marriages, sets out to reinvent herself by examining the loves she left behind-providing a nifty three-step guide for finding “the Right One,” and then moving on when it turns out wrong-taking a train trip to Vancouver and turning a knack for design into a career. McMillan ( Who Asked You?) revs up middle age in a rambunctious showcase of the bestselling author’s keen ear for language, clear eye for the give-and-take of sex, love, and commitment, and heartfelt faith in happy endings. Is A Psalm for the Wild-Built worth a read? This book got me thinking more about my work and how I live than most other books I’ve read in the last year, which, considering how much I read, is saying something. That’s where they’ve remained, far from human life… until a robot suddenly turns up at a tea monk’s door. In this heartwarming story, we enter a utopian future years after the end of the Factory Age, when robots put down their tools and gave up their roles as human servants to disappear into the untouched wilderness. The result is a true balm for the soul, as comforting and wholesome as any of the personalized tea blends conjured and served with love by Dex, a tea monk at the centre of this story.Īt the heart of the book are these questions: What do humans really want? What does a meaningful life look like? And what about meaningful work? The first book in Becky Chamber’s Monk and Robot series, A Psalm for the Wild-Built is one of the most popular books at the forefront of hopepunk, a genre of optimistic and utopian sci-fi that’s grounded in human kindness, sustainability, and care for nature.

It could also no longer provide support to Iran, Turkey and Greece to hold off Soviet Intervention directly leading to America having to step up and take over Britain’s role. The Cold War was beginning, a battered England threw up its hands and abandoned both Palestine and India, leaving Palestine to become someone else’s problem, and leading to the partition of India. In 1947 the war may have finished, but Europe was in turmoil. Although the book has a worldwide perspective, it is Eurocentric and takes a cast of characters (some you will have heard of, such as Christian Dior, Primo Levi and Simone de Beuvoir, while others are less well known, such as Raphael Lemkin) through the events of a traumatic and compelling period of history. Yes, the year is split by months, but, while it is certainly factual, it is also full of poetic writing and is also quite personal at times. Rather than taking a year and giving a full account of what happened during it, this book is something slightly different. The story is rather unusual examination of racism fueled by a healthy bit of traditional spousal paranoia.Ī chronological reading the Holmes stories will inevitably remind readers of “The Red-Headed League” when they get to this story that, like the previous classic, revolves around a needlessly complicated plot to remove an inconvenience to an attempted robbery. Notable for being one of the few instances in which the deductive reasoning of Holmes ultimately proves wrong. The story is really as much an examination of the corrosive effects of sibling rivalry, jealous and a hunger for vengeance as it is a murder mystery. One of the more gruesome crimes that Holmes is called upon to solve in which the titular object contains two severed human ears. The solution to how Holmes solves the mystery involves a dog and the infamous circumstances what it did not do during the night of the horse went missing. The crime here is not murder, but the apparent theft of a champion racehorse. We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.
