It shows how an abused young woman evolves through the help of other women and her own inner strength to throw off the shackles of male oppression to find love and affirmation within herself and in the arms of another woman. Her landmark novel The Color Purple (1982), which drew upon her sharecropper family’s Southern roots, made Walker famous the world over and brought her the first Pulitzer Prize for fiction awarded to an African American woman, as well as the National Book Award. The author of short stories and novels, essays and poetry and activist for racial civil rights, women’s equality and peace among other causes, Alice Walker brought black women’s lives into primary focus as a rich and important subject for US American literature.

DeLonge was also a driving force behind Blink-182’s ephemeral side project Box Car Racer. Tom DeLonge is best known as the guitarist and co-lead singer of Blink-182. Bolstering his foray into fiction by incorporating audio and visual elements, DeLonge has released an accompanying animated short film ( Poet Anderson: The Dream Walker), Angels & Airwaves companion EP (… Of Nightmares), and comic book. Poet Anderson…Of Nightmares is the first book in a Young Adult trilogy that DeLonge is penning alongside New York Times bestselling author Suzanne Young. Last spring, he announced that he was in the midst of co-writing 15 novels (!), all of which will be paired with soundtrack albums. The scope of his proposed project, however, is absolutely astounding. But if you think DeLonge’s going to wallow and weep about it, you’re well off the mark.ĭeLonge has always been a man-child of many talents, so it’s no great shock that he’s trying his hand at prose. Blasted by bassist Mark Hoppus for “holding Blink-182 back” and dissed by drummer Travis Barker as “ disrespectful and ungrateful,” these days DeLonge is a persona non grata amongst Blink’s remaining members. Over the past few months, former Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge has taken quite a tongue-lashing from his erstwhile band mates. Book Blurbs is a series of quick-hitting reviews in which our staff dissect and critique music-related books fresh off the presses. I was routing for them all.The ending was so sweet. Review 2: My Rating reflects my thoughts on the series as a whole….what can I say I feel in love with Abel and Devlin and Savannah and Cole and Gabe. I can not wait for whatever comes next from the author! I get it, but they seemed to be a little excessive to me.With that said, I would absolutely love to get my paws on actual printed copies of these three books to add to my shelves of favorites. My one criticism would be, the constant use of '.' throu. What else is great about the trilogy, you really grow attached to these characters and constantly want to know more. Also, I would love to see where Gab & Cole's story goes in the future and details about their past together as well.Abel and his story really draw you into his world and the author does a fantastic job of making you feel his emotions, from extreme joy to extreme heart ache. Their past, present and potential future. I think a lot can be said about these two. I would love to see more written about Max as well as Kaplan, the author really leaves you hanging here and my curiosity is going in full force. Review 1: First of all, I loved all three of the Phoenix Club books and hopeful for this series to continue. Still, Eliza can barely contain her excitement when she hears of the arrival of one Alexander Hamilton, a mysterious, rakish young colonel and General George Washington's right-hand man. Descended from two of the oldest and most distinguished bloodlines in New York, the Schuylers are proud to be one of their fledgling country's founding families and even prouder still of their three daughters - Angelica, with her razor-sharp wit Peggy, with her dazzling looks and Eliza, whose beauty and charm rival those of both her sisters, though she'd rather be aiding the colonists' cause than dressing up for some silly ball. From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of The Witches of East End and the Descendants series comes the love story of young Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler.Īs battle cries of the American Revolution echo in the distance, servants flutter about preparing for one of New York society's biggest events: the Schuylers' grand ball. I should’ve gotten his number or picture or something. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch. Name’s Ryen, loves Gallo’s pizza, and worships her iPhone. Until I run across a photo of a girl online. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. She’s the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am. Sometimes there’s one a week or three in a day, but I need them. Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever…Īnd that was the start. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. It didn’t take long for us to figure out the mistake. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. I can’t help but smile at the words in her letter. Praise for Fireblood:"Brimming with new adventures, Ruby's story shimmers and expands.

Yet the version we’ve summarised above is very much the child-friendly version which the Brothers Grimm published in 1857, rather than the original from 1812, although even the sanitised version contains signs of the more adult content contained in the original tale.

Many of his books examine how the Southern aristocracy degraded after the Civil War and Reconstruction destroyed its wealth and way of life. The post-Civil War deterioration of the Deep South piqued Faulkner’s interest in particular. Even though he barely attended college for three semesters before leaving in 1920, he did start to discover his voice as a writer during that period. Although he never completed high school, his status as a military veteran allowed him to enroll in the University of Mississippi in 1919. His forefathers took part in the Civil War, the Mexican-American War, and the Reconstruction.įaulkner wasn’t an especially good student. In 1897, William Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi, to a wealthy family. In a list released in 1998 by The Modern Library, ‘The Sound and the Fury’ was ranked sixth in a list of the greatest English-language books of the 20th century. |
