![]() It wasn’t easy.” She laughs at the understatement. A tremendous amount of shame, coupled with fear. We didn’t have a social context for it, and we had shame. ![]() “We didn’t have a language for it,” says Christina. As chronicled in Mommie Dearest, Crawford slapped, kicked, punched and tried to strangle her daughter, while subjecting her to a severe schedule of cleaning and other household chores, driven by the movie star’s alcoholism and who knows what else. The movie she is referring to is, of course, the 1981 adaptation of Christina’s memoir that starred Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford, Christina’s adoptive mother, whose abuses, soberly detailed in the book, were turned by the movie into high camp. ![]() I want to put that in big capital letters.” “It was sold out, it was fabulous,” she says, looking glamorous and spry, before issuing what has become a standard warning: “The musical had absolutely nothing to do with the movie.

Fortunately, and heart-warmingly, a man arrives in White Fang's life to try. Taming this savage spirit and reclaiming the nobility within looks impossible. He is stripped of everything soft and gentle when forced to fight to the death for a crowd of bettors. Life among sled dogs is hardly less cruel and dangerous than living in the Wild, but brutality notches upward when his drunken master sells him to a nasty, twisted hanger-on at a riverside town of white men. But then his mother is caught and held by old memories of a past relationship with Man, and White Fang follows her into service with the Indians. At first he is content to explore and learn laws of the Wild. When White Fang is birthed in a cave to a wolf sire and a wolf/dog halfbreed dam, he is heir to two traditions.

For more on the first book, you can read my review right here. It follows the journey of Shiva from his beginnings as a Tibetan tribal leader to that of an immigrant to Meluha (the area that we now know was the site of the great Indus Valley Civilization) to becoming aware of the extraordinary destiny that awaits him and his first attempts at fulfilling that destiny. The Immortals of Meluha is the first book in the series. The 3 books in the Trilogy trace the journey of Shiva from a human being to that of a God. The Trilogy is based on the premise that Shiva was not a mythical God, but an ordinary human being who became a God because of his karma. The Secret of the Nagas (Westland, pp.396, Rs.295) is the second book in the Shiva Trilogy by Amish. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Meanwhile, Sophie has had a crush on Dune ever since he rescued her from childhood bullies.

It was the Bernard Palissy Room, devoted to ceramics and minor arts. In passing I glanced, through two great openings, and saw cracked vases, plates, and a blue and yellow satyr on a pedestal. A whole race of plaster folk twisted their arms. My steps made no sound on the black and white tiles. I crossed the shadow of the vestibule quickly. I went to the museum as soon as I left the library. ![]() I didn’t want to admit that Bordurin, Prix de Rome, had made a mistake in his drawing.īut this afternoon, turning the pages of an old collection of the Satirique Bouvillois, a blackmail- sheet whose owner was accused of high treason during the war, I caught a glimpse of the truth. I have gone back several times since then. Faulty proportion? Perspective?

With no access to the outside world, Elisabeth and Nathaniel have to work together to discover the source of the magic before they’re due to host the city’s Midwinter Ball. Surely it must be a coincidence that this happened just as Nathaniel and Elisabeth started getting closer to one another. But something strange is afoot at Thorn Manor: the estate’s wards, which are meant to keep their home safe, are acting up and forcibly trapping the Manor’s occupants inside. Now that their demon companion Silas has returned, so has scrutiny from nosy reporters hungry for gossip about the city’s most powerful sorcerer and the librarian who stole his heart.

From the internationally bestselling author of Vespertine comes a heart-stopping new sequel novella to the breathtaking fantasy Sorcery of Thorns. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's the part I did like: the setup isn't anything terribly new or different. This continues through much of the book, with our heroine in "zomg he kidnapped me and yet I find him strangely sexy" mode a lot, and some mild bondage play as well. Especially #3, because the vast majority of the first sixty or seventy pages are devoted to telling the reader in very blunt and straightforward language about the effects Jack and Mira have on one another's libidos. I knew Bast had lost me when I'd gotten sixty or seventy pages into the book and knew little more besides that 1) our heroine Mira was an air witch, 2) our hero Jack was a fire witch who had been surreptitiously keeping watch on her because bad guys were out to get her, and 3) they were hot for each other. Here's the Not My Cup of Tea part: this is one of those paranormal romances that's very heavy on the sex and fairly light on the plot, and for that matter, fairly light on the romance. There is an audience for Anya Bast's Witch Fire, but unfortunately I am not it. ![]() |
