This book quickly became a best-seller and was named “the #1 medical thriller of the year” by the New York Times. If you were around in the seventies, you might remember the cover, a naked body hanging from wires like a creepy marionette. ![]() My choices this year included Gone with the Wind, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café, a couple popular mysteries and my ultimate selection, Coma, by Robin Cook. ![]() You might already have a book to read on the beach or maybe you do what I sometimes do: take your chances and see what’s on the shelf at the house, a beach house library with a crazy mix of reading options. ![]() Maybe you do a little crabbing or fishing, take the kids to play mini-golf and, of course, you go to the beach. There are certain traditions that go hand-in-hand with going to a beach house. ![]() ![]() Taken from their families when they are very small and sent to a remote, church-run residential school, Kenny, Lucy, Clara, Howie and Maisie are barely out of childhood when they are finally released after years of detention.Īlone and without any skills, support or families, the teens find their way to the seedy and foreign world of Downtown Eastside Vancouver, where they cling together, striving to find a place of safety and belonging in a world that doesn’t want them. ![]() National Bestseller A Globe and Mail Top 100 Book of the Year A CBC Best Book of the Year An Apple Best Book of the Year A Kobo Best Book of the Year An Indigo Best Book of the Year ![]() WINNER: Governor General’s Literary Award for Fictionįinalist: Atwood Gibson Writers Trust Prize ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His left arm is in a cast, but a Rolex glints from his right wrist – and are those sleeve tattoos?” ”A silky shirt clings to his shoulders, and his long legs are clad in smooth black pants. I’m also obsessed with this book cover, it’s gorgeous!!.I love that it starts with karaoke in her Uncles bar, their first scenes together were soo cute □.I love the forbidden nature of their relationship because he’s not allowed to date because his life is so public.I also really love and adore the way he would take care of his family □.The love interest is a K-pop star named Jaewoo, and he’s so SOFT and adorable.I love that this main character Jenny gets a chance to explore South Korea and visit family she hasn’t met before.My only critique is that the ending conflict felt a little cliche and unnecessary, but otherwise I loved this so much.One if my favorite YA books I’ve read in a long time.Here are some quick thoughts I jotted down after finishing it: It just put a smile on my face the whole time I read it. ![]() I wasn’t expecting to adore this YA book as hard as I did, but omg it’s adorable and I can definitely see myself rereading this one in the future. ![]() ![]() ![]() I shall have to tell Moomintroll about this, and we can explore it together, because it would be a bit risky for me to go alone. ![]() ![]() You see them go by, and suddenly you feel upset and want to be somewhere else-wherever the path or the river is going, perhaps. It’s funny about paths and rivers, he mused. Sniff was spellbound and stood gazing at it for several minutes. (There were still plenty of things left for them to discover in the valley.) He was wandering in the forest when he suddenly noticed a path he had never seen before winding mysteriously into the green shadows. One morning-it was the morning that Moomintroll’s pappa finished building a bridge over the river-the little animal Sniff made a discovery. It was a wonderful valley, full of happy little animals and flowering trees, and there was a clear narrow river that came down from the mountain, looped round Moominhouse, and disappeared in the direction of another valley, where no doubt other little animals wondered where it came from. The Moomin family had been living for some weeks in the valley where they had found their house * after the dreadful flood (which is another story). Which is about Moomintroll and Sniff following a mysterious path to the sea, pearl-fishing, the discovery of a cave, and how the Muskrat avoided catching a cold. ![]() ![]() ![]() They discover the French Emperor Napoleon, who invaded Egypt in 1798 was yet another Cahill involved with the 39 Clues.

Especially when the other ruthless Cahill relatives seemingly have years of a head start on them, not to mention money, power, training and other resources. Wow what a ride! All the 39 Clues adventure books have been fast paced and action packed, but Book 4, Beyond the Grave, took me on an emotional roller coaster as well.Īs the difficult and dangerous hunt for the 39 Clues wears on them, orphans Dan and Amy began to have creeping doubts about the deceased Grace Cahill. ![]() ![]() ![]() A fan of Chinese food, dogs, bookstores, and men she should stay away from, Shelby has to fight her way back to her own future. ![]() What happens when a life is turned inside out?

It’s for sure a thrilling psychological thriller. The diary revelation got me like ‘WTF, mind-blown’!!! I almost screamed, but I didn’t. ![]() I enjoyed Alice’s smooth writing, the timeline among Now, Then, and Before. I was glad that it wasn’t a disappointment. I thought this couldn’t hurt since I had not read anything like this - protagonist in a coma. It’s one of a hyped books that I decided to buy. Alternating between her paralyzed present, the week before her accident, and a series of childhood diaries from twenty years ago, this brilliant psychological thriller asks: Is something really a lie if you believe it’s the truth? (From: Goodreads) ![]() Amber doesn’t remember what happened, but she has a suspicion her husband had something to do with it. She can hear everyone around her, but they have no idea. There are three things you should know about me: 1. Genres: fiction, contemporary, psychological thriller ![]() ![]() Lockhart’s stark, evocative prose captures the emotions of a grieving teenage girl paralyzed by the weight of her parents’ expectations and plagued by a perpetual sense of inadequacy. The boys’ presence, a deviation from the Sinclair family’s usual routine, sets into motion an unforeseen chain of events that ultimately entangles the three oldest Sinclair sisters. Even more unexpected are the arrivals on Beechwood Island of George, Major, and Pfeff, friends of Carrie’s cousin Yardley. When Rosemary’s ghost appears to her, she is bewildered by the specter but accepts her intermittent appearances and comfortably mundane requests. Carrie’s parents and remaining sisters, 16-year-old Penny and 14-year-old Bess, endure the loss with characteristic Sinclair stoicism, but Carrie finds it difficult to repress her sorrow, even with the aid of codeine pills to numb her pain. ![]() Ten-year-old Rosemary drowned the previous summer while swimming alone. This prequel to We Were Liars (2014) takes place in 1987 as 17-year-old Carrie Sinclair faces her first summer at the family’s Massachusetts vacation property without her youngest sister, Rosemary. ![]() ![]() ![]() In his 2005 book Collapse, though, Jared Diamond put forth a different sort of theory-that a prolonged drought, exacerbated by ill-advised deforestation, forced Mayan populations to abandon their cities. That hypothesis has finally been put to the test with archaeological evidence and environmental data and the results published this week in a pair of studies. Scholars and laypeople have proposed countless theories accounting for the collapse, ranging from the plausible (overhunting, foreign invasion, peasant revolt) to the absurd (alien invasion, supernatural forces). It’s long been one of ancient history’s most intriguing mysteries: Why did the Maya, a remarkably sophisticated civilization made up of more than 19 million people, suddenly collapse sometime during the 8th or 9th centuries? Although the Mayan people never entirely disappeared-their descendants still live across Central America-dozens of core urban areas in the lowlands of the Yucatan peninsula, such as Tikal, went from bustling cities to abandoned ruins over the course of roughly a hundred years. ![]() Bustling Mayan cities such as Tikal, in present-day Guatemala, were likely abandoned due to a combination of deforestation and drought. ![]() |
