My apologies to the author and goodreads giveaways, but I am dropping this book. To learn more about her upcoming releases, visit or follow her author life shenanigans on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. When she’s not making dreams come true, or breathing life into fictional characters, you can find her in the studio throwing paint at a canvas and hoping for the best. Job perks include an unlimited supply of cake, champagne and IRL HEAs. Her alter ego enjoys a successful career in the wedding industry. She lives near the ocean with her husband, two rescue poodles and the occasional ghost. A meet-disaster? She also believes the villain or antagonist is the most important character in every story. She goes absolutely feral for enemies to lovers, grumpy protector/body guard romance tropes, and whatever the opposite of a meet-cute is. Ember is her real first initial and middle name. Her debut novel was a 2022 Book Life Prize by Publisher’s weekly Quarter Finalist and 2021 Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence Finalist.įun Facts: J. You’ll meet ghosts, gods, and monsters in her stories, but never a damsel in distress. She loves building dark contemporary worlds and lush alternate realities ripe with mythology and magic. Ember Hintz writes sci-fi and fantasy romance. His sarcasm has taken on an edge, and the portraits he paints of his Dad and Mom are less than flattering. Greg, in this book, has grown up a little from his previous outing. In Vanity Fair, Thackeray's illustrations are as famous as his words.) (I feel that authors should use illustrations more often, even in serious novels. The journal is pieced together in little vignettes, like a series of connected jokes-and the punchline is often a cartoon. Greg's voice throughout the book is a sort of sardonic monotone-one is reminded of those sad-faced clowns who will have you in stitches. Jeff Kinney is a truly comic writer who has mastered the strength of the understatement. He pours all this righteous indignation into the "journal" (he will kill himself before he calls it a "diary"!) his mother forces him to write. Greg Heffley is a loser: bullied by his elder brother and followed about by his tattletale younger one, ignored by the pretty girls and able to befriend only the unspeakable Rowley, he must be justified in feeling that life is unjust to him. I picked this up from son's shelf, because I had enjoyed the first book: my son was flabbergasted, and my wife made fun of me, saying she'd give me Peter Pan next. I read this book for two reasons: I needed to get my book count up for the reading challenge, and reading We Need To Talk About Kevin immediately after No Country For Old Men was too much darkness, even for me. The genius of the Irish who emigrated to the United States in the 19th and early 20th centuries was to fuse both political clout and criminal enterprise into vast, urban political machines that helped uplift the Irish and create a place for them at the table of American bounty. Another route for becoming American lies above ground in the field of local politics, where marginal groups can find their voice in numbers and political power. One of the great engines of American assimilation can be found in the urban gutter, where man’s insatiable demand for pursuits forbidden by the upper world provides opportunities for new ethnic groups to find wealth and protection in what can otherwise prove to be a cold, harsh culture. Paddy Whacked: The Untold Story of the Irish American Gangster by T.J. Kenzie is an enemy with a face, which means this is a problem Marin can fix.

Lanting’s work has been lauded by designers as art, by biologists as science, and by others as a new vision of the relationship between animals and people-one that challenges us to look animals in the eye and see ourselves. More than 70 species are represented in this astonishing portrait gallery celebrating the diversity of life on earth. This book’s exquisite images are accompanied by personal stories and observations from a lifetime of working with wild animals around the world, from orangutans in the rain forest of Borneo to emperor penguins in Antarctica. More than 140 photographs captured over 20 years reveal Lanting’s unique personal aesthetic, as well as the startling new perspective on animals his images provoke. Eye to Eye, the first personal portfolio by master photographer Frans Lanting, presents an extraordinary collection of animal images by the award-winning photographer and naturalist who has set the standards for a whole generation of wildlife photographers.

Our perception of the Neanderthal has changed dramatically, but despite growing scientific curiosity, popular culture fascination, and a wealth of coverage in the media and beyond are we getting the whole story?
