![]() ![]() This remarkable debut novel will captivate readers from the very first line. But just as Coo is beginning to blossom, she learns the human world is infinitely more complex?and cruel?than she could have imagined. Living with Tully, Coo experiences warmth, safety, and human relationships for the first time. Tully mends Burr’s broken wing and coaxes Coo from her isolated life. But then a hungry hawk nearly kills Burr, the pigeon she loves most, and leaves him gravely hurt.Ĭoo must make a perilous trip to the ground for the first time to find Tully, a retired postal worker who occasionally feeds Coo’s flock, and who can heal injured birds. Coo has lived her entire life on the rooftop with the pigeons who saved her. Ten years ago, an impossible thing happened: a flock of pigeons picked up a human baby who had been abandoned in an empty lot and carried her, bundled in blankets, to their roof. Gorgeous and literary, this is an unforgettable animal story about friendship, family, home, and belonging. For readers who love books by Kate DiCamillo and Katherine Applegate. ![]() In this exceptional debut, one young girl’s determination to save the flock she calls family creates a lasting impact on her community and in her heart. “An unforgettable story of friendship, love, and finding your flock.” -Erin Entrada Kelly, Newbery Medal-winning author of Hello, Universe ![]() ![]() Award-winning artist Edward Kinsella has provided 11 colour illustrations that capture the book’s vision of the inhuman nature of the Overlook, as well as Jack Torrance’s descent into madness. ![]() ![]() Made into a critically acclaimed film by Stanley Kubrick in 1980, King famously felt the movie, at its heart, told a different story to his novel. ‘As a storyteller, he is up there in the Dickens class’ Seething underneath the thrills and terror of one of the greatest horror novels ever written is an even more chilling conceit: ‘Aren’t memories the true ghosts of our lives? Do they not drive all of us to words and acts that we regret from time to time?’ Trapped in the toxic atmosphere of the Overlook, Jack is haunted by the memory of his violent, alcoholic father, and the edges of the past and the present blur. ![]() Rather than a two-dimensional villain compelled to madness by supernatural forces, Jack Torrance emerges as a more complex character, one driven to evil by the ghosts of his past. ![]() His first two books – Carrie and Salem’s Lot – fall more easily into the category of pure horror, but with this iconic work he decided to reach further. In his introduction, King calls The Shining his ‘crossroads novel’. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Guided by three grandmotherly guardian angels, they navigate the dangers of a mind-controlled world fallen under the influence of a cosmic force of pure evil. ![]() She dives wholeheartedly into L’Engle’s seminal epic, chronicling the journey of Meg Murry, her preternaturally intelligent younger brother, Charles, and their friend Calvin O’Keefe, crossing distant worlds to save the Murry’s, lost patriarch. Larson produces high-quality coming-of-age stories featuring female protagonists, with the most recent (Mercury, 2010) even including a fantasy element to highlight the tale’s emotional stakes. *Starred Review* Commemorating its fiftieth anniversary, L’Engle’s classic couldn’t have scored a better talent to adapt its story into comics form. ![]() ![]() ![]() Walker admittedly did not see the version of the revival which premiered at London’s Menier Chocolate Factory (which Erivo debuted in 2013) but got it on good authority - from composers Allee Willis, Brenda Russell and Stephen Bray - that it’s a sure bet. The revival, which stars Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe winner Jennifer Hudson, ‘Orange Is The New Black’ star Danielle Brooks and British stage veteran Cynthia Erivo, features most of the original music - and none of the epic stage design. ![]() Subsequent touring productions of the show traveled throughout country. The Gary Griffin-directed tour de force garnered critical acclaim and was a box-office success - playing one of Broadway’s biggest theater venues until 2008. Walker is referring to the sprawling Oprah Winfrey-fronted production, which opened on The Great White Way in 2005. ![]() ![]() ![]() Įach of the editors has contributed a lost book essay to this collection, including Michael Ondaatje on Sri Lankan filmmaker Tissa Abeysekara’s Bringing Tony Home, a novella about a mutual era of childhood. As the editors have written in a joint introduction to the book, “being lovers of books, we’ve pulled a scent of these absences behind us our whole reading lives, telling people about books that exist only on our own shelves, or even just in our own memory.” Anyone who has ever been changed by a book will find kindred spirits in the pages of Lost Classics. Seventy-four distinguished writers tell personal tales of books loved and lost–great books overlooked, under-read, out of print, stolen, scorned, extinct, or otherwise out of commission.Ĭompiled by the editors of A Literary Magazine, Lost Classics is a reader’s an intriguing and entertaining collection of eulogies for lost books. ![]() ![]() ![]() Zero to One presents at once an optimistic view of the future of progress in America and a new way of thinking about innovation: it starts by learning to ask the questions that lead you to find value in unexpected places.

It comes from the most important skill that every leader must master: learning to think for yourself.ĭoing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. Progress can be achieved in any industry or area of business. Information technology has improved rapidly, but there is no reason why progress should be limited to computers or Silicon Valley. Thiel begins with the contrarian premise that we live in an age of technological stagnation, even if we’re too distracted by shiny mobile devices to notice. In Zero to One, legendary entrepreneur and investor Peter Thiel shows how we can find singular ways to create those new things. The great secret of our time is that there are still uncharted frontiers to explore and new inventions to create. If you want to build a better future, you must believe in secrets. ![]() ![]() ![]() When I was 9 years old we did a play called Troy at my primary school. Troy is where my love of all things Greek mythology started. So, this book is based before, during and after the sacking of Troy. Need a bit more? Clytemnestra was the sister of Helen of Troy – the face that launched a thousand ships. That being said, I know that a lot of people loved it so I will post the link to my review below and let you make your own minds up.įor anyone who isn’t quite sure who Elektra is she is the youngest child of King Agamemnon of Mycenae and his wife Clytemnestra. I gave the book 2 stars on Goodreads and though that feels a little mean, I am going to stick by that because of issues I personally had with the story. In July of 2021, I reviewed Jennifer Saint’s first mythologically focused novel, Ariadne for my podcast, and though this genre remains one of my favourites the book was not what I had expected. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
