The Great Pyramid at Giza is the last surviving wonder of the ancient world. It has presented us with one of the most puzzling mysteries of our time, for despite many attempts to discover how it had been created in the recent past, this great structure stubbornly refused to give up its secrets. Some years ago, I discovered the key to how all of these large, stone block constructions had been constructed and I then set out on a quest to decipher all of the clues within the Great Pyramid. When I had finally solved this great mystery I wrote the book The Great Pyramid – The Inside Story to set the record straight, for many have been fooled into believing the naive theories of Egyptologists who could not have been more wrong about these structures. My research has shown that we have been grossly misled as to the true capabilities of the ancient pyramid builders and the nature of these structures by those who professed to understand them.
Before I began to write the book I thought long and hard about how I would present my findings, in the end, I came to the conclusion that the best way to prove that I had truly discovered how the ancient pyramid builders had constructed the Great Pyramid was to reconstruct it, step by step, from the ground up. In doing so, I created a construction manual – an A to Z of pyramid construction that describes in great detail how each and every course of the Great Pyramid was constructed. As you will discover, the structure was not built up one course at a time, for it was impossible to do so and achieve the goals of the pyramid builders – to complete and cap the pyramid. Contrary to popular belief, external ramps were not used in the construction of the Great Pyramid, although the pyramid builders did find it necessary to create ramps within the structure in order to transport much of the masonry that comprises the mid section of the structure, to its final destination.
If you truly wish to discover how you have been deceived by those who professed to understand this structure – and discover the astonishing capabilities of the people who constructed the Great Pyramid – then I can assure you that The Great Pyramid – The Inside story will not disappoint. Contrary to the naive beliefs of Egyptologists, this structure was designed by a genius, and constructed by a technologically advanced and highly skilled workforce. What we had failed to realise, however, is that there was an absolute abundance of evidence to indicate how this structure had been constructed within the structure itself. It is this evidence that reveals the true capabilities of the ancient pyramid builders.
The terminology used by Egyptologists to describe the supposed function of the chambers within the Great Pyramid are grossly misleading and give no clue as to their true purpose, for all of this terminology has been conjured up by people who had no understanding of the structure whatsoever. The truth of the matter is that the Great Pyramid was not constructed to house the various chambers within it, the chambers within it were created in order to construct the pyramid, for each one of the chambers, passageways and corridors within the structure had a specific and vital role to play during its construction.
I am not an Egyptologist I am an engineer. I don’t ask you to take my word for any of the above I simply ask you to look at the evidence I have presented in The Great Pyramid – The Inside Story, and to do your own research in order to satisfy yourself as to the truth of the matter. Like me, you will no doubt find it difficult to accept some of the more astonishing feats achieved by the ancient pyramid builders when you first encounter them, but when you fully understand why the internal structure of the Great Pyramid had to be so complex there is only one conclusion that can be drawn; the evidence as to how this very complex structure was constructed is overwhelming and unequivocal.
The orthodox view of these structures is so far removed from the truth that no one was ever going to solve this mystery until they rid themselves of this flawed construct. When I finally did, I discovered that the physical evidence turns 90% of what we thought we understood about the pyramids on its head. When you finally discover the real truth of the matter you will wonder why we could ever have been so naive as to have been taken in by the delusions of Egyptologists and the media for so long, for the construction process is self-evident for those who have eyes to see.

Last night Jackie brought me “Prince Caspian” to read to her as a bedtime story.
I told her it will take a long time to finish the book. When mommy reads books with no pictures it takes a few weeks to finish them. But I pleased her and got to it. I read the first chapter, surprised that she listened through. She was draped on my lap as I sat in the armchair in the bedroom reading. At the end of first chapter she said: “this is like in the movie … except a little different.” We just bought these CS Lewis books in english. I’m so tickled by her attention span.
There were a lot of kids on the camp that started this journey into Narnia. I looked into the boys’ eyes and was transported into the past.
I was 19. I went to the first Lemudim camp. And eleven loving adults flew across the world to hear our adult hearts. We were eager to be seen, heard, loved. PBCC was and continues to be a spring of fresh water.
So some strangers gave us the time of day for two weeks. They did more than just listen. They prodded, they lured us out of our shells, to love us to invite us all on a journey of healing through poetry. It was pure grace. God’s abundant pure grace. At the end of the camp four young men took a picture. Red eyed, happy, happy beyond words, shoulders relaxed, cheeks relaxed. Their hearts had been invited out in the open, seen and loved. And now these men have sons and nephews. But because we live in a broken world, these kids learn to grow up the best they can, and to shield their hearts. I pray for the grace that their fathers will have the privilege and the heart to hear their sons’ stories. Their pain. And be silent. And shed tears. And meet together at the gates of heaven on earth.
And I pray that our daughters will grow brave and tender, shielded in the heart of Jesus too. And that we as moms will go many extra miles, alongside them. That we will be available and vulnerable.
I’m amazed how my daughter invites me to share, to tell her more of my childhood. She longs to identify herself, her fears, her struggles in my own story. So we talk. And it’s never enough. She always says: “tell me more!”

Would You Trade Your Paper Books for Digital Versions?
I would trade paper books for a digital version because instead of reading I would be visually seeing things and hearing things. reading a book could take a lot of time but listening and seeing would get you through it faster. I mean you can see pictures and other things in book but it would be better then a digital visualization. some books have digital audio as in a tape that you can listen to instead of reading it but i would like a digital version better. but this basically why I would want a digital version instead of a paper book.


« Only to the Jews and the Gypsies it happened to be industrially exterminated as people who have been denied the right to share land with other human beings »
Elisabeth de Fontenay,
Actes de naissance. Entretiens avec Stéphane Bou (Seuil, 2011)
The intersection between the avant-garde cinematography and Romani families (Roma, Manush, Gitanos, Gypsies, Travellers, Sinti, Zingari) combines two forms of critical initiatives : visual replicas on the one side, developed against the figurative defamations to which these families are subject, as a work of documented objection and rectification, putting the ideological dimension of imagery into the light ; and on the other side, the descriptions and statements made freely, outside of any polemic or prejudice.
The modern history of figurative defamations “starts with the invention of photography” (Menelaos Karamaghiolis, Rom, 1989), e.g. with the images of Romani families, massively co-produced by the police systems, mass media and cultural industry. To the visual regime of the majority of images – that, since the end of the 19th century, have pulled back the comprehension of Romani families into social and moral miserabilism – are opposed the way that documentarists such as Pilar Arcila & Jean-Marc Lamoure, Caterina Pasqualino & Chiara Dambrosio, look at, listen and pay attention to these families. These filmmakers disprove the photogenic aspect of misery, especially thanks to the voice of said families and the emic poetry through which they see life. Additionally, in the face of the fantasy imagery picturing Romani families that is deployed on postcards from the beginning of the 20th century on, to the most recent cinematic fables, artists like Daniel Gontz and Menelaos Karamaghiolis manage to put a twist on these sometimes almost mythological topoi. From a historical standpoint, in the continuity of Peter & Zsóka Nestler, Charmant Rouge dedicates himself to classificatory and police-related images that have accompanied the monitoring, administrative control, detention and later the deportation of Zigeuner by the German authorities. Charmant Rouge also exhumes a voyeuristic aspect from the Austrian archives where Romani are reduced to touristic curiosities, ontologically comparable to prisoners in a zoo. Similarly to Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi, Charmant Rouge and Menelaos Karamaghiolis show how amateur images gain visual sovereignty within the controlling environment itself.
The Romani Cinema presented here claims on the contrary plurality, complexity and creative initiatives from the Romani families. To begin with, films have affirmed a culture of contact between Romani families and avant-gardes. This contact culture, which appeared with literary bohemianism in the 19th century, lasts into the 21st century, as films by Ben Vine, Tomáš Doruška or Mona Vătămanu and Florin Tudor show it. Their films oppose ostracism and discrimination based on the show that is expulsion and the overpowering longevity of silver halide photography. As part of his cooperation with the Shukar Collective, partly made of gypsy musicians, Daniel Gontz oppose a secular, visual regime to the powerful and ephemeral energy of a music score by VJing. The conditions of the possibility for an encounter become a stake of documentation work, thanks to the ethnologists from the CNRS : Yasuhiro and Kimie Omori undertake a visual improvisation in 16 minutes ; Caterina Pasqualino and Chiara Dambrosio study the forms of resistance inspired by flamenco music and the political history of Granada. With Pilar Arcila, the encounter becomes a common enterprise : Le Pendule de Costel (2013) establishes an editing method that is neither alternating nor parallel, but that we could qualify as auxiliary, between her own Super 8 images and the digital ones of a gypsy family. The result is a high density visual experience that is at the same time ethical and aesthetic. With Tomáš Doruška, the encounter becomes a political upsurge. For the first time, a film in Romanès language was broadcasted without subtitles on Czech public television.
As of the end of the 1970s, a properly Romani contemporary art form is developed. It is represented by the works of Katelan Foisy, Delaine Le Bas, Damian James Le Bas and Phillip Osborne, as well as the female authors of the collective film Sárral kevert vér (2014). Their work features the way Romani communities experience time – as a collective memory (Chuvihoni), highly poetic (Rokkerenna), searching for remnants and signs of the English-Romani culture at the heart of the modern, urban space (Delaine Le Bas’ Gypsylands). These works are also the traces of a memory (Sárral kevert vér) and culture (Witches Compass) that were lost following the genocide and the migratory movements it induced. It is through the contact with historical avant-gardes in general, and Taylor Mead in particular, that Katelan Foisy reinvents her history and culture (For a Gadjo). This Romani Cinema repoliticizes and reconfigures space, history, experience, and writing. It brings us a counter-culture "at the avant-garde of our people, of Europe, of the world" (Ethel Brooks), the science of this people about which has been made notice that it is the only one never to have started a war.

Mour Djiben. Ma vie de tzigane manouche (Mour Djiben. My tzigane gypsy life)
by Yasuhiro Omori & Kimie Omori
France / 1976 / 59’ / 16mm
« The everyday life of a Manush family moving with a horse-drawn wagon in the centre of France, filmed by a ethnologist. “Is it the authors’ status of foreigners that give the dialogues such sincerity, and such tolerance as they record intimate sequences ? Coming from a country where no Gypsies live, they do not hold conscious or subconscious prejudices against the Manush, commonly shared by sedentary Europeans. Their work is truly remarkable in its accuracy. Within the very limits of its ambitions, this film is a good ethnographic document, both in the development of the theme and its technical qualities”.
(Études Tsiganes n° 3, 1977)
by Ben Vine
Spain / 2006 / 3’22 / S8
« Shot in a single sequence on expired super 8 mm film in the very same flea market where I bought it, Olvido is a reflection on the ambiguous status and the role of these street musicians in Spanish society. Questioning my own gaze as well, this film is a reflection on what society considers as art, as culture and as trash. Notions which intertwine. » (Ben Vine)
Tierra Inquieta (Unquiet Earth)
by Caterina Pasqualino & Chiara Ambrosio
United Kingdom / 2015 / 74’ / digital
Unavalaible on line.
« To deal with the 2007 economic crisis which provoked a vast social misery, neighbours from Caseria De Montijo (Granada, Spain) decided to come together and get organized, and planted a communal orchard on land that previously served as an illegal dump. In this orchard our protagonists – Antonio, Oscar and Santiago – want to believe in the possibility of a fairer world, and cast their lives as art. Out of work, they could have easily gotten depressed. Instead, they chose to take action. This orchard in Caseria is, like the protagonists, a film subject in itself. Alive just like the men who grow it, the orchard of Caseria “tiene memoria”, it remembers the violence that scarred this region for so many years. Just a few miles away from the orchard of Caseria are the mass graves of Viznar, where the bodies of the Republicans slaughtered by Franco’s soldiers during the Civil War of 1937 still lay unburied. In Caseria they say that these bodies may have been a good fertilizer for the soil. The three characters in the film perform a "Water Ceremony" to ward off (conjure) the drought on this fertile land with a turbulent history, and bless it anew. » (Caterina Pasqualino & Chiara Ambrosio)
This set of films was screened as a program section for the avant-garde sessions at the Cinémathèque Française on June 17th and July 15th 2016. We would like to thank warmly all the authors and the film distributors as well as Emilie Bujès, Maria Komninos, Phaedra Papadopoulou, Cécile Farkas, Doriane Films and the Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme.

DQSH captures the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood and gives kids glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role models. Hosted at libraries across the country, from New York to Los Angeles, new events are popping up all over and Palm Springs is now the newest location!
Bella da Ball is Palm Springs’ area social ambassador, hostess with the mostest, and drag personality. Bella da Ball is a recipient of a star on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars, received Safe Schools Desert Cities Champion for Youth Award for LBGTQIA, PrideNation Best Entertainer People’s Choice Award for years, Community Service Award from AAP, Volunteer of the Year from Greater Palm Springs Pride, named Desert Outlook’s Best of the Valley Ultimate Pride drag personality for years, received honors from Desert AIDS Project celebrating Everyday Heroes, received Palm Springs Chamber of Commerce P.S.

Bella presents a weekly show Thursdays at Copa and hosts Game Night Mondays at Ace Hotel.


Joan of Arc has inspired works by Shakespeare, Mark Twain, George Bernard Shaw and a host of others.
Add Melissa Leilani Larson to the list. Rising Star Productions will present Larson's 2004 work, "Martyrs' Crossing, A Story of Joan of Arc" for the next three weekends.
Joan's story, a mix of history and legend, is rife with literary possibilities.
The French girl, born in 1412, reportedly began hearing the voices of St. Michael, St. Catherine and St. Margaret when she was 12. The voices told her it was her divine mission to free her country from the English, who occupied what is now the north part of France. The voices also told Joan to cut her hair, dress in a man's uniform and pick up arms.
When she was 17, Joan led troops to a miraculous victory over the English at the Battle of Orleans. She was later captured and tried for witchcraft and heresy in ecclesiastic court by a pro-British bishop; the main charge against her was wearing men's clothing. She was burned at the stake at the age of 19.
"For girls particularly, Joan of Arc is fascinating, because there aren't that many strong women leaders in history," said Rising Star director Jueanne Meyers.
This play gives a new twist to the story, Meyers said. "Even more than Joan's story, it's Catherine's story," she said.
In the play, Catherine and Margaret are preparing for heaven themselves during a period after their deaths and before judgement. Alexis Bloomfeldt said her character, Catherine, is struggling in the afterlife to come to terms with her own death. "She's wanting to save Joan from this same fate" of becoming a martyr, Bloomfeldt said.
Frances Cansler, who plays Margaret, said her character and Catherine are themselves "figuring out who we are."
It's the first major role for 20-year-old Kim DuPerron, who plays Joan.
The play has been described as giving the story a Mormon perspective. A writer on the Association of Mormon Letters website called Larson, who lives in Provo, Utah, "one of the finest young playwrights in Mormondom."
Meyers said Mormons will recognize some aspects of the story as relating to their faith that non-Mormons wouldn't notice.
The play is "not overtly denominational," she said. "Anybody can come to this show and enjoy it."
The plays' message is that "the power of faith to move us is amazing," Meyers said.
"It's a struggle we all go through," Cansler said. "What do we stand for?"
The play isn't gruesome, Meyers said. Joan's fiery death is portrayed with lighting, and the subject matter is appropriate for middle schoolers and older, she said.


“We may be in the Universe as dogs and cats are in our libraries, seeing the books and hearing the conversation, but having no inkling of the meaning of it all.” (William James)
I heard this quote while watching Fr. Robert Barron’s Catholicism Series – the 3rd episode, in particular. He was talking about the audacity of our assumption that just because we can see everything in the material universe, we think we are capable of understanding it, but we are like James’ Dog (or cat) in the library. I don’t claim that I do understand, but that won’t stop me from trying to cram as much into my little dog-brain as I can.


tasted like paper), received a copy of this book, along with a bottle of Bombay Sapphire East Gin. I wasn't able to attend, and I was more than a little miffed when Ben and Luciano proudly brandished their free swag around the office. It's one thing to lose out on free swag, another to lose out on free booze, and the worst to lose out on a free book.
I sucked it up and ordered a copy, and I'm glad I did. It's a phenomenal book, though not for the reasons you'd expect. The chief criticisms of the book are that it's not scientific enough, that the "flavor wheel" doesn't really make much sense logically, and that the book purports a rigor and cohesion that is not carried out in the text.
These people are completely right, and they completely miss the point. If the book were science, and rigorously constructed flavor wheels and affinities, it would be a disaster. The book succeeds because it is personal, and idiosyncratic. A bartender is personal and idiosyncratic, a recipe is personal and idiosyncratic, a culture is personal and idiosyncratic. A textbook is not.
The Dog and the Tile
In Aristotle's Magna Moralia, Empedocles, a philosopher before Socrates, was asked why a dog prefers to always sleep on the same tile. Empedocles responds that there is some likeness that draws the dog and the tile together, something deep in their nature. When Nassim Taleb relates this story in Antifragile, he's making the argument that matches, pairings, and cultural combinations that have survived are not scientifically explainable much of the time, but they are to be trusted because they correspond to something deep in our nature.
Likewise Niki Segnit, incredibly not a chef but a former marketer, places some stock in science, but more in culture, in combinations that have survived and persisted with a resiliency that the most viral internet meme would envy. The book is really concerned with identifying these combinations, flavor molecules that can be used and bridged and arrayed into simple and complex combinations for pleasure, and delight.
Thinking in Molecules
The best thing I can say about this book is that it teaches the reader to think in molecules, in combinations of flavors, almost compulsively, in the same way that avid Tetris players see shapes in their dreams and in waking life, a fascinating phenomenon termed the tetris effect. It's impossible to spend a couple of weeks with the book, jumping through combinations like white chocolate and honey, rosemary and apricot (found in Ma'mool throughout the Middle East and North Africa), and not seeing flavors and combinations everywhere. I recently tried Harpoon's magnificent pumpkin cider, and my brain immediately started working:
Hmm, pumpkin and apple, both fall flavors, but seldom used together, that's a molecule (pumpkin, incidentally, does not even appear in Segnit's text).
Wow, the spice is subtle and balanced, what's going on here. Oh! Nutmeg, ginger, and cloves achieve that effect. Something about leaving out the cinnamon keeps things from getting heavy handed.
It's so crucial to see the world in this way because bartenders are really flavor architects, and we work with combinations in a way that say...Sommeliers do not-their unparalleled palates and food pairing skills notwithstanding. The best ally a bartender has is his experience and creativity, and this book bolsters both.
The Best Time to Read the Book
I would argue that the best time to read the book is when you least need it. When not preparing a new drink, or for a cocktail competition. It's best to soak up the knowledge and let it seep into your subconscious, where it will spill over in subtle and unexpected ways.
Dream in flavor,

This choreographed and improvised dance is inspired by the surrealist sensibilities of Leonora Carrington, the moods and tropes of the De Wallen district in Amsterdam, and the courtship displays of insects and birds.
Inspired by Roy Ascott’s essay, Is There Love in the Telematic Embrace?, artist Janet Silk creates a series of drawings from which she develops a performance art piece for Valentine's Day, 2015 in Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco as Si-si Dance & Performance Art Project (Si-si D). Si-Si D launches three more telematic performances in 2016 and one on April 26, 2017 for Pro Arts' exhibition "The New Situationists."
Ease on Down the Runway, is published in the Academy of Art University Fashion Show Book Spring 2014, available at Amazon. This creative nonfiction essay reports Silk's observations while attending the AAU's cutting-edge fashion graduate show in Bayview-Hunters Point in San Francisco.

More than once this year, I’ve come across a YA fantasy I was sure I’d seen before, only to realize I was confusing it with a different YA fantasy, whose uber-purple cover, at least in thumbnail form, was nearly indistinguishable from the next purple thumbnail. The young-adult market’s purple fever has only grown from 2017 to 2018, so here’s a roundup that might be of use if you find yourself trying to help a student, friend, or library patron identify a book from the prompt, “I think the cover was purple?” These books are far more varied than their covers’ color palette, which means there’s a purple book for just about everyone—I’ll spotlight a few standouts to prove it.
Science Fiction & Fantasy
For a fantasy lover seeking a female-driven adventure about the power of literacy, check out The Speaker (Putnam, Nov. 2017) by Traci Chee, the sequel to her starred-reviewed debut The Reader. In an otherwise illiterate society, Sefia holds a mysterious and dangerous book of secrets. Booklist reviewer Lindsey Tomsu described the series opener as “a stunning piece of storytelling” about “magic, fighting rings, swashbuckling pirates, assassins, and a kingdom beset by war, where books are illegal.” With the final installment, The Storyteller, released last month (to another starred review), the series is complete.
If a reader asks you to recommend a book with excellent world-building and multicultural, non-Western influence (and, of course, a purple cover), you might hand them Rin Chupeco’s The Bone Witch (Sourcebooks Fire, Mar. 2017), where high fantasy meets Memoirs of a Geisha. Seventeen-year-old Tea isn’t just a witch, she’s a bone witch: a necromancer and an outcast. Booklist Books for Youth Associate Editor Julia Smith calls this first installment in the series “richly imagined” with a “subtle execution,” promising that those “who enjoy immersing themselves in detail will revel in Chupeco’s finely wrought tale.” The more action-driven (and starred-reviewed) sequel, The Heart Forger, released this past March, and the final installment, The Shadowglass, is expected in March 2019.
For your space-opera lovers, you might suggest Empress of a Thousand Skies (Razorbill, Feb. 2017) by Rhoda Belleza and its sequel Blood of a Thousand Stars, which came out this past February. With futuristic biotechnology, a framed reality-TV star, a murdered royal family, and a secretly surviving heir, it’s sort of like Star Wars meets Marissa Meyer’s The Lunar Chronicles meets Firefly (*privately sheds a tear for Firefly*). Reviewer Caitlin Kling says “Rhee and Aly both stand out as resilient, resourceful protagonists who are, if not always innocent, at least confident in what they believe.”
If a reader asks for a purple-covered book best described as “compelling and unique—there’s nothing else like it,” consider suggesting That Inevitable Victorian Thing (Dutton, Oct. 17) by E. K. Johnston, because those are the exact words Booklist Books for Youth Associate Editor Maggie Reagan used in her starred review of this speculative tale. A carefully constructed near-future imagining of a world in which the British Empire never fell, this novel is smart, whimsical, and features an LGBT romance.
Interest in short stories is on the rise, and Because You Love To Hate Me (Bloomsbury, Jul. 2017), edited by Ameriie, would make an excellent rec if you or someone you know loves a good villain. The concept behind this collection is particularly unique: 13 authors (including Victoria Schwab, Nicola Yoon, Marissa Meyer, Cindy Pon, Susan Dennard, Renée Ahdieh, and Adam Silvera) were paired with 13 BookTubers, who provided prompts for short tales of villainy (“a young Moriarty” or “Erl Queen retelling in nineteenth-century London,” for example). Booklister Maggie Reagan said simply: “stock up—it’s never been so fun to be bad.”
Fans of Nnedi Okorafor looking for their next read should be directed to Tochi Onyebuchi’s Nigerian-influenced debut Beasts Made of Night (Razorbill, Sept. 2017). When sin-eaters consume someone’s sins, they are left with telltale tattoos—so what happens when the supposedly pure king solicits a sin-eater and is thereby outed? Reviewer Snow Wildsmith praised Onyebuchi for “seamlessly blending fantasy, religion, political intrigue, and a touch of steampunk into a twisting tale of magic.” The sequel, Crown of Thunder, came out this October.
For a geeky update to the Cinderella story, direct readers and yourself to Ashley Poston’s Geekerella (Quirk, Mar. 2017). Booklist reviewer Sarah Bean Thompson penned a very compelling pitch for this stand-alone: “With geekily adorable characters, a show that’s part Star Trek and part Firefly, a cosplay contest, and a food truck fairy godmother, this is a love letter to fandom. Required reading for geeks everywhere.”
William C. Morris Award finalist Starfish (Simon Pulse, Sept. 2017) by Akemi Dawn Bowman follows Kiko, a young half-Japenese woman dealing with social anxiety, a toxic home life, and a crushing rejection from art school as she goes on a journey of self-discovery that helps her find her voice and strength. Reviewer Jeanne Fredriksen called it “a stunningly beautiful, highly nuanced debut” and praised Bowman’s ability to evoke “Kiko’s quiet hurt, pain, and frustration with breathtaking clarity, all the while reinforcing the narrative with love and hope.”
A Season of Daring Greatly (Greenwillow, Feb. 2017) is about high-school senior Jill, who becomes the first woman drafted to play for a Major League Baseball team. Jill struggles with resistance from fans, agents, and players while acutely feeling the pressure to be a role model. For reviewer Carolyn Phelan, “the pleasure of reading this novel comes from the steady, realistic portrayal of Jill’s experiences as a rookie and as a young woman breaking into a man’s sport.”
Science Fiction & Fantasy
For readers wanting something steeped in Norse mythology but slightly darker than Rick Riordan’s Magnus Chase series, try steering them toward Amanda Hocking’s Between the Blade and the Heart (Wednesday, Jan. 2018), which follows teen Valkyrie Malin as she decides whether to follow the rules (slay immortals, thereby returning them to the afterlife) or save the world. How’s that for stakes? Booklist reviewer Savannah Patterson says the series opener is “packed with action, romance, and fascinating creatures.” The book’s sequel, From the Earth to the Shadows, also released in 2018.
Somaiya Daud’s Mirage (Flatiron, Aug. 2018) is the purple-covered fantasy novel for anyone who ever wanted to put science fiction and Arabic poetry together (and for everyone who didn’t know that’s what they wanted until they read it!). This coming-of-age story centers around 18-year-old Amani, a poet living under occupation who is kidnapped and forced to stand in for her doppelgänger, an evil princess of the occupying empire. Booklist reviewer Qurratulayn Muhammad describes Daud’s debut as “gorgeously written” with “lush and poetic language that brings the setting into vivid color.”
An all-female crew of space pirates? With a captain known across the galaxy as the Bloody Baronness? That’d be Zenith (HarlequinTeen, Jan. 2018) by Sasha Alsberg and Lindsay Cummings. An epic thrill ride with high stakes (“looming galactic retribution” says reviewer Cindy Welch) and a star-crossed romance (oh yeah, the Bloody Baronness totally used to date a bounty hunter and, well, now she’s his next assignment), Zenith is for readers who liked Guardians of the Galaxy but want something darker and with a #GirlSquad.
Smoke in the Sun (Putnam, June 2018) by Renée Ahdieh completes the duology begun with Flame in the Mist (2017). The books follow quick-witted Hattori Mariko, daughter of a prominent samurai and betrothed of the emperor’s son, as she disguises herself to join a rogue samurai band and fight for the life and love she truly desires (battling some dark magic while she’s at it). Says Maggie Reagan of this second installment, “the pace is nonstop, and Mariko is a heroine worth following to the thrilling conclusion.”
I can’t pitch this one better than reviewer Krista Hutley: Christian McKay Heidicker’s Attack of the 50 Foot Wallflower (Simon & Schuster, Sept. 2018) is a “funny, feminist send-up of B-movie cinema, selectively blind nostalgia, and TV binge-watching.” Illustrated by Sam Bosma, and recipient of a starred review, this “high-concept meta-narrative works on multiple levels, from its good-natured ribbing of common tropes (like “the gay girl always dies”) to its commentary on female agency, but, more importantly, it’s frightfully fun.” There’s just not much else to say except give this to me now!
Muse of Nightmares (Little, Brown, Oct. 2018) is the sequel to Printz Honor book Strange the Dreamer (2017), from National Book Award finalist Laini Taylor. Though the central characters in this story are a god and a ghost, Maggie Reagan says “the attention [Taylor] pays to the people who aren’t the heroes, the care given to ordinary life and its immense importance, elevates this from an entertaining epic to a deeply necessary, sometimes devastatingly so, work of art.”
For a historical fantasy steeped in music and set in nineteenth-century Bavaria (and the goblin world beneath it, of course), look no further than the starred-reviewed Shadowsong (Wednesday, Feb. 2018), the sequel to the also starred Wintersong (2017) by S. Jae-Jones. Maggie Reagan described the first installment as “an exquisitely and lyrically crafted tale of longing, sibling loyalty, and the importance of women in a time when women were so often overlooked. Eerie, unsettling, and, above all, full of music.”
Leah Thomas’s When Light Left Us (Bloomsbury, Feb. 2018) is contemporary fantasy filled with pensive metaphor about a shimmering alien being called Luz that enters the Vasquez family in the wake of their father’s leaving. Luz’s presence heightens their most favored abilities (Hank’s hands, Ana’s eyes, and Milo’s ears), but when Luz leaves, he takes those body parts with him. In her starred review, Kristina Pino says “Thomas gracefully weaves together the past and present in each character’s narrative and offers moving insight into how each of them process losing what they each perceive to be their most important sense or ability. This poignant, strange, and poetic novel is a nuanced exploration of human nature.”
Michael Grant’s Purple Hearts (Katherine Tegen, Jan. 2018) is the third and final installment in the Front Lines series, so convincing you might overlook the thing that makes it alternate history. Otherwise entirely true to the historical record, Grant’s WWII saga tells of a war in which women were drafted right alongside men. Of the starred first installment, Front Lines, Booklist editor Sarah Hunter wrote, “Just as classic war novels demonstrate how war can reveal common humanity, Grant’s exploration of women in battle is no different. Fraught as it is with terror, fighting together breeds deep loyalty, regardless of gender.”
Gunslinger Girl (JIMMY Patterson, Jan. 2018) is a futuristic western set in a post-second Civil War America, in which our brassy heroine on the run lands herself “a decadent, deadly theater act” with her sharpshooting skills. According to Maggie Reagan, this thrill ride is filled with “nonstop action” and a setting that is “undeniably interesting.”
For readers wanting a coming-of-age romance about politics and parents, I suggest Katie McGarry’s Say You’ll Remember Me (HarlequinTeen, Jan. 2018). Love is complicated when you fall for a kid in the governor’s juvenile rehabilitation program . . . and the governor is also your dad. Reviewer Savannah Patterson predicts readers will be “spellbound” as Elle and Drix try to forge the futures they desire for themselves and learn to understand and love someone with completely different baggage.
Questions I Want to Ask You (HarperTeen, May 2018), by Michelle Falkoff, offers a different but no less important story about coming of age. Over the course of the novel’s emotionally-driven mystery—Patrick receives a letter from his supposedly dead mother for his eighteenth birthday—”Pack” faces his insecurities about his weight, his girlfriend, and his future. Reviewer Florence Simmons says the book “leaves the reader feeling proud of Pack’s personal evolution and ends in a place that truly feels like a new beginning.”
For readers wanting something dark and elegant, with gothic motifs, offering space and voice to girls who are angry and complicated, I’d suggest Nova Ren Suma’s A Room Away from the Wolves (Algonquin, Sept. 2018) in a heartbeat. Looking for a taste of freedom, Bina runs away to a boarding house and finds a strange place full of strange girls; she is soon consumed by the task of unraveling her own history, the history of the house, and the places they intersect. Booklister Julia Smith says “Suma’s surreal writing examines the blurred edges of life, lies, freedom, and mother-daughter relationships, leaving the reader with questions and a tangled sense of wonder.”
What happens when you realize the boy you just fell for is the son of the guy who apparently drove your dad to suicide? That’s the set-up to L. Phillips’s Sometime after Midnight (Viking, June 2018). Complete with a glass-slipper test in the form of a blurry picture of sharpied Chucks posted to Instagram, this Cinderella-esque LGBT romance pits two talented musicians (who, of course, collaborate beautifully) against a painful shared history. It airs on the side of soap opera, but Booklist‘s Michael Cart promises “romance fans will forgive all [the superlatives] and simply enjoy the story, over the top though it may be.”
Readers looking for a taste of Bollywood should most certainly check out Nisha Sharma’s debut My So-Called Bollywood Life (Crown, May 2018), which follows NYU film school hopeful Winnie Mehta as she sorts out her thoughts on fate and love in search of her perfect Bollywood ending. Booklister Ilene Cooper praises the novel for “a strong, winsome heroine; a solid supporting cast, including family; and a romantic triangle that rivals any Bollywood plot.”
Are you totally seeing purple everywhere now? Desperately trekking to the library to check out all of these books? Thought so. Will purple continue to reign in 2019, or will a new shade rise to take its place? Only time will tell.


Once a month I review a book – usually fiction, sometimes non-fiction. Grab your favorite hot beverage (mine’s a mocha), and let’s talk books!
Are you a fan of seasonal novels? I’ve become a sucker for Christmas fiction the last couple of years. And when I spied a novella collection celebrating my favorite season, fall, I could resist as much as I can a comfy sweater and a day of pumpkin carving.
This month, like a big ol’ pile of leaves, we jump into Autumn Brides (Zondervan, 2015), by Kathryn Springer, Katie, Ganshert, and Beth K. Vogt. You get three novellas in one volume.
Happily ever after begins today. The honor of your presence is requested at three autumn weddings . . .
A September Bride by Kathryn Springer
When Annie moves to Red Leaf, she’s ready to call the little town home, but Deputy Jesse Kent can’t believe his mother has handed the keys to her bookshop over to a woman she met on the internet. Jesse has seen his mother taken advantage of before, and he decides to keep a close eye on this Annie Price. But when a close eye turns into a historical wedding reenactment with Jesse and Annie as the couple, make-believe nuptials quickly give way to real-life emotions.
An October Bride by Katie Ganshert
No one but Jake and Emma know the true reason they’re getting married—so Emma’s dying father can walk her down the aisle. While Jake and Emma plan an autumn wedding together, it becomes clear that their agreement has a few complications—the biggest being their true feelings for each other.
A November Bride by Beth K. Vogt
Having celebrated the big 3–0 by ending a relationship, Sadie is tired of romantic relationships-by-text. The only man she knows willing to put down his iPhone and have face-to-face conversations with her is Erik. It’s time to put a 21st-century twist on the Sadie Hawkins’ tradition of a woman going after her man. But when he realizes he’s fallen for her, can Erik convince Sadie his just-for-fun dates were the prelude to “’til death do us part”?
Rating: 4 mochas out of 5 for the set

A September Bride – Kathryn Springer’s story evoked the charm of small-town America. The fictional burg of Red Leaf beckons the reader like a cozy throw blanket. I wanted to step into the pages and stroll past the quaint businesses and chat with the locals. The writing style is top-notch and tight.
An October Bride – Confession: When I realized the premise included terminal illness, I was tempted to skip it. My day job deals with this topic, so it didn’t seem to fit the bill for escapism fiction. But this story won the 2015 Carol Award in the novella category, so I decided to give it a try. I’m glad I did.
Ganshert deftly balances a weighty topic with a lighter tone that engages. The characters prove likable and believable. And the setting–a big draw in any fiction I choose–showcases the glory of fall.
A November Bride – The characters pop off the page. Sadie and Erik made me grin and were just plain fun to watch. This friendship-to-love tale weaves backstory into the fabric in a way that adds more depth than most novellas.
I wasn’t crazy about: Once or twice, potentially major plot points get resolved too easily. I chalk this up to the limitations of the novella format, but it did irk to a mild degree. And the authors made a few of the secondary characters too interesting! I want to see the brother and best friend pair from An October Bride get their own story.
The Bottom Line: Want a cozy read for a crisp autumn day? Autumn Brides steps up to the plate. I recommend with no reservations.
Questions for you: Do you ever indulge in seasonal novellas, or do you stick with full-length novels?


Housekeeping - Marilynne Robinson
This is a lovely, heart-achingly lonely little book with a lot of space in-between everything that moves the plot along and silence between the characters. This has remained one of my favorite books ever since I read it 7 years ago.
The Life and Times of Michael K - JM Coetzee
Creates a somewhat similar atmosphere to Housekeeping, but written by a man. You almost wouldn't know the story is set in apartheid South Africa except in the glimpses you see of the world flitting by peripheral to the main character.
How Buildings Learn - Stewart Brand
A spectacular book about how buildings age and what that means for their design. Very well documented as well as opinionated and engaging. Executed perfectly and highly accessible to anyone, whether informed on the topic or not.
A Year on the Wing - Tim Dee
A beautiful, poetic book about bird watching. The observations are surprisingly fresh and stunning, and the book is done so well it's a worthwhile and wholly engaging read whether you care about birds or not.
Memory of Fire trilogy - Edwardo Galeano
Galeano blurs fiction and nonfiction is this poetic telling of the history of abuse and imperialism in the Americas. The three book trilogy progresses chronologically and reads as short vingettes that are focused on individual people, experiences and moments in a truly remarkable way. I've never seen anything else like it.
Infinite Jest - David Foster Wallace
The epic 1100 page novel about tennis and drug use by my favorite author. 200 pages of the text is academic style footnotes in which whole characters are introduced and tangential narratives unfold. Wallace is the most intelligent and observant writer I've ever read. His nonfiction is also excellent. His short stories are awful, though, and you shouldn't read them. Keep a dictionary handy when reading this, because there will be about 5 words on every page that you've never seen before. Wallace has a preference for using characters who have read the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) in its entirety and he once wrote a book review of a new dictionary. I'm deeply sorry that he hung himself last October.
Invisible Cities - Italo Calvino
This is a funny, haunting, beautiful book in which Marco Polo describes fantastical cities he has traveled to in the empire of the great Kubla Khan. Each chapter introduces a single city, focusing on its inhabitants and the rules of its operation. This book draws you into its reality, creating a world in which the basic laws of physics seem to be determined by poetic impulses and wild imagination. Also worth reading by Calvino is Cosmicomics, which is a funny, anthropomorphic take on the creation of the universe and If On A Winter's Night A Traveler, which is equally experimental.
House of Leaves - Mark Danielewski
This is a touch too experimental to be a perfect book, but I included it here because it's the only book that has ever physically scared me in my adult life. The book reads like a horror movie, but in a much more cerebral and unsettling way. The positioning of text on the page is unorthodox to say the least, and gets wilder as the book descends, but somehow, the effect is successful and Danielewski pulls off what anywhere else would have seemed a trite and cheesey special effect to amplify the eerie world of the story. Be patient with it, because it's different than what you're used to expecting from books. Give yourself over to it completely. Only read it in the dark, and only when you're alone.

Indigenous Modernities: Negotiating Architecture, Urbanism, and Colonialism in Delhi (Architext)
Review by Tim Catchpole
Jyoti Hosagrahar, Routledge, 2005
Neither the title, the subtitle, nor the front cover excited me, but when I opened this book and discovered it was about Delhi I was immediately captivated. A serious oversight on the part of the author (or was it the publisher?) for leaving Delhi off the front cover.
Delhi must be one of the most interesting case studies in the history of urban design. This book is authored by one who grew up in New Delhi and explored the ‘Old’ Delhi while a student of planning and architecture. The ‘modernities’ referred to in the title are not so much the global architecture and planning of today as the colonial architecture and planning which the British imperialists endeavoured to impose on the Delhi of the 19th century. The author describes how Delhi had been an organic walled city in the time of the Moguls, how the British after the Mutiny in 1857 were determined to introduce public health improvements, how they succeeded in some areas but were thwarted in others by people who resented the foreign intrusion, how early expansion outside the walls had to contend with squatter settlements, and how later expansion in the form of the grand design of New Delhi succeeded in transforming the outside area leaving the walled city to decline.
It is interesting how today the British Empire is seen as having earned a rather poor reputation. The author, however, presents a balanced case. She recognises that, when the British took over in 1857, public health improvements were a high priority in London and therefore they had to be in Delhi too and that in the widening of roads and construction of public buildings the British were not entirely disrespectful of the local vernacular. It is these improvements that can be described as the indigenous modernities. Although the author does not say so, the British were a lot more respectful than the French imperialists in Pondicherry and le Corbusier in Chandigarh.
My grandfather was in the public health team in Delhi and was determined, like his team, to eradicate the potential spread of disease in the old city. As the author indicates, the public health team needed to apply floorspace standards in the knowledge that such standards were being applied in the UK, and yet the standards could not possibly be the same. They were indigenous. Even so, the enforcement of the standards was Sisyphean.
Where the book is slightly out of balance is in the greater focus given to ‘Old’ Delhi. New Delhi is covered in only one chapter and I felt more could have been said about the compromises made by Lutyens and Baker. What is sad is that the more recent modernities, the concrete and glass of global architecture, do not have the indigenous qualities that the much maligned British imperialists introduced. Perhaps the author should explore this further in an updated edition. A beautifully written book with some purple passages and some fine illustrations, albeit all in black and white.
