I have a great fondness for “The Cat Who” series as I remember reading all of the ones I could get my paws (cat pun) on at the local library when I was a youngun. I’m more of the reader and she is more of the shopper, but together that means that neither of us possess the capacity to turn down a free book, so we took a gander and lo and behold this book was in there, the second book in a series I remember with joy. I’m a big fan of an outdoor walk so I took my mom along for a jaunt and we walked around the neighborhood outside of my aunt’s house and happened upon a little free library. I took my first out-of-state vaccinated soiree back home to the sweaty state of Louisiana to see family a few weeks back (Yay!). This book came into my life serendipitously.

I think the author was trying to add a not so subtle way to tell kids to not be scared of thunder and lightning.

Lightening flashing." Blue and Toad are on their way home during a thunderstorm. I've pulled it out twice for him, and he is a little upset that I don't let him flip the pages, so he hasn't read the whole thing more than once. Mainly, this sits in the closet, so he doesn't damage it. This book is an actual hardcover book with a book sleeve and paper pages. When it came in, I was like "Umm.it's a hardcover, but not like the other hardcovers." So, I ended up saving it for his 1st birthday, even though I knew he still wouldn't be able to read it then.

Following a crash on the shuttle that is carrying York and several other astronauts and scientists back to Earth, York finds herself in the spotlight for her negotiations with a group that took advantage of the crashed shuttle to further their political agenda. Although they spend significant time apart, they are able to remain in communication. When the novel opens, York is splitting her time between living on the moon in the permanent base established there and living at home with her husband, Nathaniel. As with the first book, Kowal follows "The Lady Astronaut," Elma York, although her situation is completely different in The Fated Sky than in the previous novel. During that time, mankind has established a permanent base on the moon and is preparing for the launch of the first mission to Mars, establishing a space program which is complete different from the method of interplanetary exploration in our own timeline.

The films cemented Waters's status as a cult favorite and continue to play at college campuses and art house theaters to this day. These films showcased poor taste, obscene cinema, and transformative approaches to politics, gender, and art. Waters broke through to national acclaim with his "trash trio," Pink Flamingos (1972), Female Trouble (1974), and Desperate Living (1977). The Dreamlanders would include his diva and partner-in-film, Divine, who would go on to star in Waters's most familiar works. His cast of actors, the Dreamlanders, were featured in every subsequent film. His first shorts such as Hag in a Black Leather Jacket and Mondo Trasho demonstrated an innate talent at capturing the hideous and crude and elevating it to art. Waters began making films in his hometown of Baltimore in 1964. 1946) has worked at the forefront of American cinema for nearly forty years. As a film director, artist, and personality, John Waters (b. Black Feminist Thought places multiple Black women's voices in conversation with one another, encompassing a collectivity-oriented citational practice that refuses the compulsory silencing of Black working-class women's voices. The text's strength lies within its polyvocal representations of an inclusive "Black women's intellectual tradition." 1 Over time, Black Feminist Thought's epistemological polyvocality has been heralded as emblematic of the potency of Black feminisms, and, conversely, persistently and subtly undermined within women's studies.Ĭrucial to Collins's project was troubling the imposed hierarchies among Black women's theoretical knowledge wherein academic knowledge was prized and privileged, and the vital, unique, experiential knowledges of the Black woman masses marginalized. Collins's intentional centering of Black women's voices in order to theorize Black women's lived experiences offered a departure from feminist analyses rooted in the ostensibly unmarked category of "woman" that tended to obscure racial, ethnic, and cultural differences, and from Black cultural studies frameworks that subordinated gender to race. Patricia Hill Collins's Black Feminist Thought (1990) helped to announce and participated in a watershed moment in Black feminist theory, one that ushered in what might be understood as the era of intersectionality within women's studies. A cast of compelling characters and years’ worth of long-buried secrets just waiting to be uncovered make I FOUND YOU one of my new favorite Lisa Jewell reads.

With her trademark historical fiction exploration into the shadows of the past, acclaimed author Marie Benedict brings us into the world of Agatha Christie, imagining why such a brilliant woman would find herself at the center of such murky historical mysteries. The puzzle of those missing eleven days has persisted. Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away. Her World War I veteran husband and her daughter have no knowledge of her whereabouts, and England unleashes an unprecedented manhunt to find the up-and-coming mystery author. Investigators find her empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy pond, the only clues some tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the car-strange for a frigid night. In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Only Woman in the Room returns with a thrilling reconstruction of one of the most notorious events in literary history: Agatha Christie's mysterious 11-day disappearance in 1926. The ending is ingenious, and it's possible that Benedict has brought to life the most plausible explanation for why Christie disappeared for 11 days in 1926."-The Washington Post THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER! Affected with a mental condition that allows his mind to generate a variety of hallucinated people-who are all unique in their individual personalities, skills, and knowledge-Stephen is never truly alone. To the outside world, our protagonist appears to live by himself in his sprawling mansion, but that is a very different picture from the reality he perceives. Our journey begins with Legion, the first novella introducing Stephen Leeds. Speaking as someone who has only listened to the first book in audio back when it was originally released (but somehow never managed to get around to the sequel for years after that), I was happy to finally experience the completed evolution of this extraordinary character and see how his remarkable story arc came to be resolved. Featuring the trilogy of novellas, including the never-published-before Lies of the Beholder, this omnibus collects all the adventures starring our eponymous hero in one handy volume. If you haven’t checked it out yet, Legion: The Many Lives of Stephen Leeds is the perfect opportunity to read Brandon Sanderon’s beloved series featuring everyone’s favorite schizophrenic genius detective.
