The cardinal and the kremlin6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Because Filitov, code-named Cardinal, is America’s highest agent in the Kremlin, and he is about to be betrayed to the KGB. Each must use all his craft to arrive at the truth, but Filitov gets there first - and that’s when all hell breaks loose. ![]() To the two greatest nations on earth, no contest is more urgent than the race to build the first Star Wars missile defense system, and no one knows that more than the two men charged with assessing the Soviets’ capabilities: Colonel Mikhail Filitov of the Soviet Union, an old-line warrior distrusted by the army’s new inner circle of technocrats, and CIA analyst Jack Ryan, hero of the Red October affair. In the Soviet hills of Dushanbe near the Afghanistan border, an otherworldly array of pillars and domes rises into the night.

Summer hours at the robbers library6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() The story winds back and forth in time for each of the main characters. ![]() There's Kit, broken in heart and spirit by a marriage that ends in disaster who moves to Riverton after answering a random ad for a librarian there's Sunny, the "no-schooled" pre-adolescent child of hippies who is assigned to the library by a judge in Kid's Court for stealing a Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary because all the words that are in all the books are in the dictionary there's Rusty, the failed Wall Street short-seller who arrives in Riverton to search for a hoped-for windfall from a bank deposit made by his mother in 1950 and there are many minor characters from the 'hearts as good as gold' four old guys who visit the library every morning to the immigrant Patels who run the Tip Top Motel. ![]() Halpern, a scholar-in-residence at Middlebury College, places the library at the center of the action and skillfully manages what could have been a trite story about a stock group of characters. But those days are long gone, and the main sign of the town's past glory is the library, built as one of the Carnegie libraries in 1912. Riverton had been a thriving mill town, employing hundreds and supporting citizens from barbers to doctors, from businessmen to laborers. Sue Halpern's eighth book, "Summer Hours at the Robbers Library" (Harper, 2018) is a fast-paced and complex novel about a diverse cast of characters in a small New Hampshire town that is well past its best days. ![]() Sonata by Skye Warren6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() I was so excited to get to hear the end of Samantha and Liam's story and I was not disappointed! These two have been through so much! This picks up where the second book left off, as Liam recovers from a gunshot wound. Must follow the trilogy in order to understand what is happening. ![]() Skye Warren writes seriously sexy books that are really involved and well thought out. The was a spot when the narration switched to points of view from Josh and Bethany which was a bit confusing for me but after realizing who was speaking, felt it enhanced the book. And Teddy was brilliant and well suited for the serious yet fiercely protective and loving Liam. Perhaps because Samantha was now a woman and not a girl. I must be really used to hearing Grace Grant as Samantha because she became her in this last audiobook of the series. Lots of intrigue and secrets are revealed in this final book of the trilogy. It’s full of action and adventure as Liam and his company North Security ,which includes his brother Josh, try getting the terrible men who are after Samantha to come out of hiding so they can end this crazy path that leads to Samantha. I really enjoyed this finale of Liam and Samantha story. ![]() Joseph lelyveld gandhi6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Gandhi arrived in South Africa on and left in 1914. ![]() Instead, our first glimpse of Mohandas Gandhi is in South Africa, where he arrives a few months short of his 24th birthday. Sorry to disappoint y’all but there’s nothing in the first chapter about Gandhi’s childhood, his parents, family, friends, school days, London days, his marriage or the setting of his birth-place Porbandar. Over the course of the next 10 days or so, we’ll take a dekko at each of the dozen chapters in the book. Great Soul has created such a ruckus in India that the book has already been banned in some Indian states like Gujarat. ![]() The book by Pulitzer Prize winner and former Executive Editor of the New York Times Joseph Lelyveld has already raised the hackles of many Indians, who, with little else to do, are in any case forever desperately scrounging for an opportunity to have their hackles raised. – Mohandas Gandhi, echoing words from a song by the poet Rabindranath Tagore, quoted in Great Soul by Joseph Lelyveld p.7īy now, even the dumbest of our many readers must surely have heard of the new biography on Gandhi with its suggestion that the Mahatma was an AC/DC. I came alone in this world, I have walked alone in the valley of the shadow of death, and I shall quit alone, when the time comes. ![]() Monster walter dean myers audio6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Monster Text Features Scene Heading Tells the reader the setting Directions Tell you what the camera will do/show.

Eddie izzard the lost symbol6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Stephenson described Izzard as an “extraordinary and versatile actress” who would be able to embody the role in an amazing way and could play against Chamber’s “natural talent to make us believe in the good in people”. The project, which is now in post-production in the UK, is helmed by Chicken director Joe Stephenson and is developed from a script written by newcomer Dan Kelly-Mulhern.Įddie Izzard previously said back in February, when the Lost Symbol star was announced as the lead, that it was a “wonderful” opportunity to be able play Jekyll and to “reimagine this classic story in a modern way”. ![]() It’s definitely a new perspective on the Victorian era classic and will also bring together the extraordinary acting talents of Lindsay Duncan, Jonathan Hyde and Simon Callow. But the two soon discover the existence of Hyde and desperately stop the murderous doppelgänger from destroying Jekyll’s life.

But she soon realizes that the University, which admits all manner of people-including the fire-wielding, winged Icarals, the sworn enemies of all Gardnerians-is an even more treacherous place for the granddaughter of the Black Witch. When she is granted the opportunity to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming an apothecary, Elloren is eager to join her brothers at the prestigious Verpax University and finally embrace a destiny of her own, free from the shadow of her grandmother's legacy. Now a new evil is on the horizon, and her granddaughter, Elloren, is believed to be Carnissa's heir-but while she is the absolute image of her famous grandmother, Elloren is utterly devoid of power in a society that prizes magical ability above nearly all else. Carnissa Gardner, the last prophesied Black Witch, drove back the enemy forces and saved her people during the Realm War. So foretells the greatest prophecy of the Gardnerian mages. ![]() And just as Night slays Day, and Day slays Night, so also shall another Black Witch rise to meet him, her powers vast beyond imagining. A Great Winged One will soon arise and cast his fearsome shadow upon the land. ![]() Night sky ocean vuong6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I let him cup a handful of the sea into my hair and wring it out. He crouches beside me, his breath a misplaced weather. Little centuries opening just long enough for us to slip through. He said There is so much I need to tell you. He said the shadow of missiles growing larger on the sidewalk looked like god playing an air piano above us. A carousel spinning its blackened horses. The sky was September-blue and the pigeons went on pecking at bits of bread scattered from the bombed bakery. White hyacinths gasped in the embassy lawn. Otherwise it was a perfect spring morning. *When we left it, the city was still smoldering. We had been sailing-but the edge of the world was nowhere in sight. ![]() He lay beside me and placed a word on the nape of my neck, where it melted into a bead of whiskey. While I slept, he burned his last violin to keep my feet warm. That a woman on a sinking ship becomes a life raft-no matter how soft her skin. If you must know anything, know that the hardest task is to live only once. *Then, as if breathing, the sea swelled beneath us. ![]() The valley of horses6/29/2023 ![]() I loved seeing Ayla develop into her own person afterīeing held back trying to fit in with the Clan.
