A 2018 Most Anticipated Young Adult book from debut author Adrienne Young, Sky in the Deep is part Wonder Woman, part Vikings-and all heart. ![]() ![]() Len doesn’t sacrifice any imagery with the ease of the prose either, the settings are rich and vivid, the pacing is well balanced and the dialogue is active and engaging. It’s incredibly easy to find yourself absolutely absorbed in this book, and before you know it you’re already halfway through. The prose is captivating, easy to read and beautifully detailed. We get some very seemingly cliched tropes that you think you know where its going but OH NO you don’t because you get swept up in something so much richer and even more enthralling.Ī lot happens in this book and is very easy to spoil so I’ll try to keep it brief as to avoid spoilers. Now while this is what the book is, it’s also so much more than that and the synopsis does not do it justice. So, Only A Monster, by Vanessa Len is a YA fantasy that, on it’s surface, seems to be a enemies-in-love tragedy sprinkled with monsters and magic. Nick is a Hero, and Heroes slay Monsters.

I only have about 5 things i like in the whole world, and literary fiction and nina lacour are 2 of them.

This is not quite romance, not quite contemporary, not quite literary fiction, and overall like if any nina lacour book extended 15 more years. it'd be like waking up a sleepwalker - medically ill-advised, and unpleasant for all involved. I care about these folks so much! (and they are Folks to me, not characters, please do not come into my comments section and try to dissuade me from this belief. One of our favorite maybe-real expressions was "oh, la vache." oh, the cow.Īnyway, just about all i have to say right now is - oh la vache.

As if taking a perspective from far above the globe, it examines the great tectonic plates of history and the motivations of nations, explaining the attitudes that states and empires have taken to the rest of the world from the formation of Europe to our own times.Kissinger identifies four great 'world orders' in history - the European, Islamic, Chinese and American. In World Order, Henry Kissinger - one of the leading practitioners of world diplomacy and author of On China - makes his monumental investigation into the 'tectonic plates' of global history and state relations.World Order is the summation of Henry Kissinger's thinking about history, strategy and statecraft.

Platonism, the philosophy of Plato, especially asserts the phenomena of the world as an imperfect and transitory reflection of ideal forms, an absolute and eternal reality.Īristotle began as a pupil of Plato. ![]() The Republic, the best known of these many dialogues with Socrates, mentor, as the central character, expounds idealism of noted Greek philosopher Plato and describes a hypothetical utopian state that thinkers rule he taught and wrote for much his life at the Academy, which he founded near Athens around 386 BC. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And indeed, A Gentleman in Moscow takes place entirely within its own hotel grande dame, The Metropol. Amor Towles (whose first novel is the sublime Rules of Civility), this time delivers a novel as richly filigreed as the set design of the film The Grand Budapest Hotel. You felt the warm glow of the gas lantern, the luxurious texture of the ball gown, the sting of the cold night air as the horse-drawn carriage carried weary passengers home in the wee hours, after the ball, and the call of history, and war.Ī Gentleman in Moscow carries this lavish sensibility through to post-revolution Russia, as the new Soviet Government assumes power in 1922. ![]() I am a lover of 19th century Russian literature, which so often fused French glamour with the harsh reality of Siberian-style winters and encroaching revolution. ![]() ![]() Three Meridians, Toronto: Ryerson Press, 1950.Zohara, London: Secker and Warburg, 1961.Christopher, London: Collins, 1959 Heinemann Caribbean Writers Series, 1972.ĭrayton later lived in Spain, where he died in 2017.

One of my favourite parts of the book is how Cabane breaks down charisma into its constituents: presence, power and warmth. I prefer the practical books, though, since I already know the fact that without internal change then there’s no real change at all, just a different set of clothes on the same mannequin, and that it takes time and consistent practice for any new behaviours to sink into our muscle memory and become part of our identity. This book falls firmly into the practicable camp, rather than Seven Habits, which was a lot more foundational. I recently finished re-reading The Charisma Myth by Olivia Fox Cabane and today I want to share some of its lessons with you and give you my recommendation. ![]() ![]() She might even start fooling herself a little.
