![]() ![]() She is truly a unique voice and I wished that Armstrong had continued the series from Elena's point of view because I'm IN LOVE with her. Elena is the most amusing narrator I've come across in a long time, whether she means to be or not. it's honestly just a rollercoaster of adjectives. This book is thrilling, entertaining, hilarious (it had me in hysterics!), steamy, sexy, tragic. I was mentally crying as I neared the final page, torn between needing to finish and wanting it to last forever and ever. I was utterly absorbed by this book from the first page, completely mesmerised by the characters playing out on the pages before me. Knowing this book was about werewolves just made me go 'blegh!' but I was suddenly determined to give it a chance, and so I did. ![]() You know when you don't really expect to like a book based on the fact that you're prejudiced to its contents? For example, thanks to Twilight, I am completely Team Vampire (and I'm terribly ashamed at having brought Twilight up, trust me) so anything Werewolf-ish automatically sets off some inner resentment. ![]() ![]() ![]() Written by Warren Ellis Art by Darick Robertson and Rodney Ramos Cover by Robertson The forces of darkness are closing in on outlaw journalist Spider Jerusalem and his merry, filthy band - but now they've got their own rope around the neck of corrupt President Callahan, and it's time to start tightening the noose.

![]() ![]() Gurba is explicit in her attempt to expand the American literary landscape to include people like her, because it really is important to see ourselves in characters of books, TV and movies. Thankfully, it sounds like she was raised by some pretty awesome parents, especially since Gurba tells me some of her first toys as a child were “Barbies, pistols and books” - what else could an aspiring writer need? Raised in a multi-racial home in California’s Santa Monica, Gurba has a geographically placed understanding of race, gender, and growing up queer. She hopes the novel will allow readers to better analyze these themes, as well as expand the American literary canon to include a Molack (aka Mexican-Polish-American). Gurba is direct, casual, and very funny when I probe her about her novel, which explores trauma, meanness, and assault in various forms, as well as the mental and physical repercussions that follow. She describes the book as a "novel that is memoiristic," meaning not exactly a memoir, but not exactly fiction - it blends the two genres through memory, analysis, and retrospection. By analyzing her own memory, Gurba forces the reader to do the same. Mean is a very introspective book, exploring Gurba’s childhood, adolescence, and early adult life. When you read Mean by Myriam Gurba, you’re going to laugh, and cry, at some really gross and mean things – but that’s kinda the whole point. ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() Stevenson's Calvinist upbringing lent him a preoccupation with predestination and a fascination with the presence of evil, themes he explored in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), and The Master of Ballantrae (1893). Quarto, original cloth, pictorial endpapers, illustrated by Edmund Dulac with 12 tipped-in plates in full color and numerous black and white illustrations throughout. ![]() ![]() Although he began his career as an essayist and travel writer, the success of Treasure Island (1883) and Kidnapped (1886) established his reputation as a writer of tales of action and adventure. First edition of Edmund Dulac’s magnificent illustrated interpretation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Treasure Island. Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) was born in Edinburgh, the son of a prosperous civil engineer. Part of Penguin's beautiful hardback Clothbound Classics series, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith, these delectable and collectible editions are bound in high-quality colourful, tactile cloth with foil stamped into the design. Stevenson's first full-length work of fiction brought him immediate fame and continues to captivate readers of all ages. Among the crew, however, is the treacherous Long John Silver who is determined to keep the treasure for himself. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Whether it’s circumcisions and general mutilations gone wrong, or bleeding out and infected from the cultural practice of a woman puncturing through the hymen with a finger to draw blood, or men coming over to demand to know whether their new wives were really virgins, she was in direct contact with the culture and women she’s writing about. As a doctor and psychiatrist, Nawal el-saadawi has seen and heard many women pass through her clinic doors for issues related to gendered violence. Despite the orientalist book cover of a veiled woman and the fact that the original title was “The naked face of the Arab woman” and not the submissive “hidden face of eve” I would still recommend this dense and intense read. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are other odd occurrences: Long-lost items from Layla's past that keep turning up around Finn and Ellen's house. ![]() Someone from his past has seen Layla - hiding in plain sight. ![]() Then, not long before he and Ellen are to be married, Finn gets a phone call.
