![]() ![]() But the chutzpah of Lin-Manuel Miranda and his producers paid off with sold out houses on Broadway and eleven 2016 Tony Awards including Best Musical, Best Score & Book plus Best Director. Using an inter-racial cast (African-American and Latin) of players while dressed in 18th Century costumes to present and sing Alexander Hamilton’s story was brave and ambitious. Throw-in a campy King George (Alex Gemignani) for comic relief and Hamilton makes the history of the founding of America come alive. ![]() The concept by Lin-Manuel Miranda and his creatives grabs us and keeps us flowing with spectacular movements and dances with provocative rhymed vernacular and haunting, emotionally-charged music. Stunning hip-hop/rap opera is an amazing theatrical experience!Īfter all the hype, I was impressed by the brilliance of the theatrical experience that makes Hamilton a groundbreaking hip-hop/rap opera! The entire experience of this show is much more that the total of its individual elements! This ingenious work dares to take the Broadway musical into new, uncharted territory that combines history with contemporary language, current musical styles to make history come alive in a most engaging manner.

Someone please actually read the contents of these books before putting it out before children. Also, there's all of the above plus a graphic, too-detailed rape scene in this "kids' book" so, uh. We really need to talk about the amount of sex and sexual assault depicted in graphic detail within YA books. ![]() This is not a kid's book, but it is often in the kid's section, much like Warrior Cats(incest, pedophilia, gutting), and other adult books: Plague Dogs.

Nazism and birds are not what I came into this book expecting, but it was what I got. Holy shitake mushrooms we have got to talk about how racist, sexist, classist, and awful this book is, and I'm not sure I can be the person to do that. I've read a lot of specist content, but we go beyond that. ![]() Didn't quite believe that -how can you mess up writing birds?- turned out it was really bad and truly a fast slide down a rabbit hole of squick.

Slinky sirens and roaming wraith-like spirits populate a parallel world ruled by corruption and greed, which Conrad must enter to find the cure he seeks.

As well as having me as part of the Instagram Tour. Thank you to Titan Books and Agnes Gomillion for sending me a copy to read and review. ![]() Set in the future after Word War III you are in for a futuristic tale of politics, law, slavery and humanity. ![]() I have for you today a review of the spellbinding book The Record Keeper by Agnes Gomillion. ![]() ![]() ![]() Charlotte is a writer (duh) and dreams of leaving her boarding school behind to become a full-time writer. Loosely following the plot of Jane Eyre and the life of its creator Charlotte Bronte, the novel takes some very divergent paths, which I enjoyed for the most part. While My Plain Jane is definitely darker than My Lady Jane, it still has all the markings of this series: humour, ridiculousness, paranormal creatures, loveable characters, and top-notch writing. If you loved the first book in The Lady Janies series, you will undoubtedly love the second, My Plain Jane. Like it’s predecessor, My Plain Jane follows a Jane in British history – this time in British literature – and seeks to give her a happy ending. “ This brings us to the real start of our story: northern England, 1834, and the aforementioned penniless, orphaned girl. Prepare for an adventure of Gothic proportions, in which all is not as it seems, a certain gentleman is hiding more than skeletons in his closets, and one orphan Jane Eyre, aspiring author Charlotte Brontë, and supernatural investigator Alexander Blackwood are about to be drawn together on the most epic ghost hunt this side of Wuthering Heights. Despite their significant age gap (!) and his uneven temper (!!), they fall in love-and, Reader, she marries him. ![]() ![]() After a miserable childhood, penniless orphan Jane Eyre embarks on a new life as a governess at Thornfield Hall. ![]() ![]() ![]() “You remember what the rainbow means?” MiMi, my great-grandmother, asks. ![]() Skittle-colored stripes airbrushed overhead in a rain-washed sky. “Give yourself permission to let it hurt,īut allow yourself permission to let it heal.” Parts of it, while not graphically depicted, may prove sensitive for some readers.

The guys spend their time distanced from the others, obviously mad about spending another week in the wilderness looking for a friend whose disappearance is a source of both anger and guilt. Then there are the three former college friends. The dad and the wilderness expert are very standoffish to Frankie and the others but the Bigfoot hunter and SARs team member are friendly and helpful. The father has been getting threatening messages that seem to be designed to get him to call off these yearly searches but dad is not going to stop looking for his son until he finds his body. Yes, Daisy is the one who rates being mentioned by name because Daisy is all kinds of awesome! Now, one buddy has gotten sick so Frankie is on the team with the man's three remaining college buddies, the man's dad, a local wilderness expert, a Bigfoot hunter, and a Search and Rescue member and her cadaver dog, Daisy. The man went missing in a national forest while camping with his four college buddies. That's what Frankie does, successfully finds missing dead people long after their cases have gone cold. Frankie has joined a yearly search crew after one of the original eight crew members requires medical care on the eve of the latest search. One Step Too Far has Frankie Elkin on the search for a man who went missing five years earlier. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you have not received your delivery following the estimated timeframe, we advise you to contact your local post office first, as the parcel may be there awaiting your collection.Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery and due to various reasons, the delivery may take longer than the original estimated timeframe.

When a gorgeous boy named Will comes out of the tapestry, Tessa finds herself plunged into a world of mystery, romance, fate and fascinating time jumping that goes deeper than she could have ever imagined. Tessa soon finds that the tapestry is more than just a piece of cloth. ![]() After accidentally coming into possession of an ancient book, she discovers a piece of a tapestry in the book's pages with a unicorn embroidered on it. Rather, she lives in a realistic world where her father owns a bookstore in small-town Maine and her mother has long since passed away. Show More Now, it is another teen paranormal romance, but it's more unique than many of the others out there and, rather than just dropping this book after reading the first few pages, as I thought I would, I ended up flying through the pages and discovered one of the best and most well-crafted novels I've read so far this year. ![]() |
