But what if he discovers he isn’t the best at anything?įunny, charming, and incredibly touching, this is a story about friendship, family, and the courage it takes to live your truth. With his best friend, Chelsea, by his side, Rahul is ready to crush this challenge. And he won’t be worried about staring too long at his classmate Justin Emery. While he’s not quite sure what that special thing is, he is convinced that once he finds it, bullies like Brent Mason will stop torturing him at school. Those four little words sear themselves into Rahul’s brain. The start of middle school is making him feel increasingly anxious, so his favorite person in the whole world, his grandfather, Bhai, gives him some well-meaning advice: Find one thing you’re really good at and become the BEST at it. Rahul Kapoor is heading into seventh grade in a small town in Indiana. One of Time Out's “LGBTQ+ books for kids to read during Pride Month,” this is p erfect for fans of Tim Federle’s Nate series. From award-winning actor Maulik Pancholy comes a hilarious and heartfelt middle grade debut about a gay Indian American boy coming into his own.

And if you’re a fan of Greek mythology, Rosamund perfectly weaves the ancient gods into her eerily twisted tale.īut wait…there’s more! (Mhmm, I said that.) Darkness lives inside the Lord of Bargain’s ever changing castle (which reminds me of Hogwarts) and the magical turns will keep you flipping to the next page. No Heaven versus Hell with fallen angels stuff, but more internal good versus evil. The fact that Rosamund created Nyx Triskelion (this story’s Belle) with bitterness in her heart made the character more realistic. But this isn’t that kind of story to fear. Yunno, cracking the door paranoia sort of thing. (Those that have beta read my BEAST know this to be true.) And this story delivers! Now, I’m usually one to stay away from tales that mention a demon. Of course, I’ve always been a sucker for anything remotely BEAUTY AND THE BEAST with a twist. I started reading CRUEL BEAUTY by Rosamund Hodge Friday evening and didn’t go to bed until 6am! When a book keeps me up all night, I have to blog about the story. Barbarian Days is his immersive memoir of a life spent travelling the world chasing waves through the South Pacific, Australia, Asia, Africa and beyond. New Yorker writer William Finnegan first started surfing as a young boy in California and Hawaii. To devotees, it is something else entirely: a beautiful addiction, a mental and physical study, a passionate way of life. Winner of the Pulitzer Price and William Hill Sports Book of the Year: Barbarian Days is a deeply rendered self-portrait of a lifelong surfer looking for transcendence 'that recalls early James Salter' (Geoff Dyer, Observer) He would have been glad to suffer through it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes a blinding flash of color in a sea of gray.Perfect may not be in the cards, but perfectly imperfect could just last forever. Now he's just a man trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the dark demons of war and loss at bay. Rome's used to filling many roles: big brother, doting son, super soldier-but none of those fit anymore. And he's returned from his final tour of duty more than a little broken. Rome Archer is as far from perfect as a man can be. She's waiting to fall in love with the perfect man-a baggage-free, drama-free guy ready for commitment. But beneath all that flash and sass is a broken heart. įun and fearless, Cora Lewis knows how to keep her tattooed "bad boy" friends at the Marked in line. Sometimes the wrong choice can be just right. His gray suit and black shirt outlined his slender body, and his shoes and hair continued to shine despite the fading daylight.Īs my image came to life, he advised me that the picture needed more embellishing around the edges. I wasn’t surprised when Gropius ² sat beside me to see what I was drawing. Sometime later, footsteps approached from behind, but I had no interest in looking up from my sketch. Seventh period had just ended, so I decided to sit under a tree to draw the landscape that was already varying in color. I was a freshman in the town of Dessau and was looking forward to the seasonal changes October brought to the area. I’d been working on a custom design for a home these past months, but now that my client’s request was complete, I walked outside and recalled when I was at Bauhaus ¹ in 1925. Sometimes heartbreaking and sometimes frightening, give this book to someone who is thinking of being a nurse or is one already. "- Sanjay Gupta, MD, neurosurgeon and chief medical correspondent, CNN, "James Patterson and Matt Eversmann have captured the essence and drama of what it takes to be a nurse. Their stories are given the respect they deserve and are captured beautifully in E.R. They save our lives every day and represent the true life blood of any hospital. I could not stop reading it and when I was done I felt like I was changed forever." - Sebastian Junger, author of Freedom, Tribe, War, Fire, and The Perfect Storm, "As a trauma neurosurgeon, I have witnessed the compassion, the work ethic, and the selflessness of our nurses in countless situations. In their own bullet-straight words, these heroes describe the pain, the love, and the brutally hard work of trying to save people's lives.

"James Patterson's account of the twilight world between life and death that nurses inhabit is one of the most moving things I have ever read. McDormand stars as Fern, a widow and former substitute teacher in Empire, Nevada – a town wiped off the map by a factory closure – who is forced into piling some possessions into a tatty van and heading off, something she accepts with an absolute lack of self-pity. Zhao was even allowed to film inside one of Amazon’s eerie service-industry cathedrals. So they have become nomads, a new American tribe roaming the country in camper vans in which they sleep, looking for seasonal work in bars, restaurants and – in this film – in a gigantic Amazon warehouse in Nevada, which takes the place of the agricultural work searched for by itinerant workers in stories such as The Grapes of Wrath. They are grey-haired middle-class strivers reduced to poverty who can’t afford to retire but can’t afford to work while maintaining a home. Nomadland is about a new phenomenon: America’s 60- and 70-something generation whose economic future was shattered by the 2008 crash. This quiet, self-effacing performance may be the best of her career so far. With artistry and grace, Zhao folds nonprofessionals into an imagined story built around a cheerful, resourceful, middle-aged woman played by Frances McDormand. It is a gentle, compassionate, questioning film about the American soul. C hloé Zhao’s Nomadland is an utterly inspired docu-fictional hybrid, like her previous feature The Rider. |
