The 100 book kass morgan6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Clarke tends to the wounded, and Bellamy gradually develops a romantic interest in her. ![]() Once there, the 100 struggle to survive in a world very different from the past Earth. The group crashes somewhere on the East Coast in the former United States. Among the 100 are Clarke, Wells, Octavia Blake, her older maternal half-brother Bellamy Blake, and Clarke's friend, Thalia. Two years later, the Colony decides to send 100 of its teenage prisoners to investigate whether or not Earth is habitable. His plan backfires, the Griffins are arrested, and his relationship with Clarke disintegrates. Despite swearing secrecy to Clarke, Wells tells his father, hoping to save the Griffins from Rhodes. Clarke confides in her best friend Wells Jaha, The Chancellor's son. The 100 begins with Clarke Griffin, a former medical student, being arrested for a crime committed by her parents: conducting illegal experiments on children under threat of the corrupt Vice Chancellor Rhodes. Resources are so scarce that all crimes, no matter how small, are punishable by death, unless the perpetrator is under 18 years of age. The series is set three generations after a thermonuclear apocalypse, wherein the only known survivors of the human race live in a space colony consisting of satellites joined together in orbit around the Earth and governed by The Chancellor, who leads its legislative council. ![]() A boxed set of the four books of The 100. ![]()

![]() ![]() A major revelation that leads to a somewhat-too-tidy ending is a minor blemish in an otherwise openhearted, empathic book. ![]() Bowling’s novel demonstrates how negotiating others’ discomfort can be one of the most challenging aspects of having a physical difference and how friendship can mitigate that discomfort. Bowling, the author of three self-published YA novels, lets readers see Aven as a full, complex teenager-even while those around her have trouble doing so-and gives her a sharp sense of humor, including a penchant for inventing gruesome stories about how she lost her arms. After days of self-consciously eating her lunches in a bathroom stall at school (she eats with her feet), Aven opens up to two students: Connor, who has Tourette’s syndrome, and Zion, who is teased for being overweight. When her adoptive parents take jobs at an Arizona theme park, Aven leaves behind her comfortable social life, starting over with new peers and teachers to stare at her. Thirteen-year-old Aven Green, the heroine of Bowling’s sensitive and funny novel, was born without arms due to a rare genetic condition. ![]()

The wes anderson collection hardcover6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() A diorama overdose scene is emblematic of the carefully calibrated subplot.Īgainst that, the film is an aesthetic triumph, a gorgeous gallimaufry of artefacts from the golden age of American technocracy, Looney Toons and westerns. Tableaux in dialogue with Bus Stop and The Misfits add to the knot. ![]() Interesting self-reflexive ideas, including Johansson playing an actor playing an actor, feel underdeveloped. ![]() ![]() The director’s trademark deadpan silences have seldom felt longer. Willem Dafoe’s Stanislavski-ersatz Saltzburg Keitel begs for an acting studio movie to call his own.Īnderson’s 11th movie is simultaneously furiously busy and curiously uneventful. Margot Robbie is a footnote and a photograph. Blink and you might miss Jeffrey Wright’s general, Tilda Swinton’s astronomer, Jeff Goldblum’s alien and Maya Hawke’s Clementinian schoolmarm. This smaller family crisis is surrounded by a dizzying number of characters. The occasion is doubly, triply interrupted by a UFO landing, a subsequent government lockdown and debriefing, and wall-breaking inserts concerning Jones Hall (Schwartzman, again) and Mercedes Ford (Johansson again), the actors who play Midge and Augie, and their cohorts back east.Īs Asteroid City – that is to say, the cartoonish drama within the drama – opens, Augie’s car breaks down, and he calls his father-in-law, Zak (Tom Hanks), to pick up his young scientist son, Woodrow (Jake Ryan), and three daughters.Īugie has yet to tell their children that their mother has died. ![]()

If you take out all the narrative observations, a novel gets reduced greatly.” I had to visualize and physicalize a lot. There’s so much in a book but there’s no thinking in a screenplay.

The dwarves by markus heitz6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() He embodies all the qualities I would associate with the quintessential dwarf – limited height, long beard, brave and fierce in battle and of course that ingrained enmity towards elves. ![]() So which dwarf immediately sprung to mind? For me it was Gimli from the movie version of The Lord of the Rings. And no one has ever questioned the courage of the Dwarves.Quick, think of a dwarf! Any dwarf will do. Although he has many unanswered questions, Tungdil is certain of one thing: no matter where he was raised, he is a true dwarf. Not only his own safety, but the life of every man, woman and child in Girdlegard depends upon his ability to embrace his heritage. ![]() Sent out into the world to deliver a message and reacquaint himself with his people, the young foundling finds himself thrust into a battle for which he has not been trained. Although he does not want for friends, Tungdil is very much aware that he is alone - indeed, he has not so much as set eyes on another dwarf. Until now.Ībandoned as a child, Tungdil the blacksmith labors contentedly in the land of Ionandar, the only dwarf in a kingdom of men. Many and varied foes have hurled themselves against the portal and died attempting to breach it. For countless millennia, the dwarves of the Fifthling Kingdom have defended the stone gateway into Girdlegard. ![]()

Queer by Kathy Belge6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() We will be selling it at the GLBT Historical Society Museum's bookstore, where I am sure it will be popular with travelers from around the world."-Terry Beswick, Executive Director of the GLBT Historical Society Archives and Museum, "Like a queer 101 manual for LGBTQ+ teens, Kathy Belge and Marke Bieschke's Queer is a delightful collection of trustworthy and accurate information that tweens and teens need today, all told in a sort of quirky, sometimes goofy, and always approachable tone. As an older gay white man often struggling to navigate through a rapidly changing world, Queer, 2nd Edition: The Ultimate LGBTQ Guide for Teens boils it all down into plain English in a way anyone can understand.

The Wallflower Wager by Tessa Dare6/27/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() She was set up and fell for it because of her vulnerability. Yes, Reed did make a mistake at the Legacy, but it wasn't all her fault. I've gone through some things Reed has: the ostracizing, the humiliation, the pain. I think book was my favorite so far, even if it wasn't Reed's best time. ![]() Now, if we could only convince Reed that she should call the cops when people break into her room, we might keep the body count down. The book is so good that once I let myself start it, I had to read straight on until my suspicions were proven correct. I just had no idea why she did it or her connection to the last friend who was secretly trying to break Reed. I have spent every other book since Sabine appeared shrieking that there's something just not quite right about the girl and this time I spent, literally, the entire book willing Reed to realize that for whatever reason, Sabine was the killer and Reed's stalker as well. Most of Revelation revolves around Reed trying to win her way back into Billings as well as her attempts to find out who really killed Cheyenne. Thankfully once the girl seems to hit rock bottom, she finds she has a spine of her own, and she gets some Noelle worthy snaps. Much as I love the Private series, I will admit that Reed tends to grate on my nerves after a short while. ![]() |
