I saw the very first review of Common Goal today and it was a starred review in Publishers Weekly! I am so relieved/thrilled. Of course things don’t stay casual for long. He is happy to help Eric out, however, as long as it’s completely casual and, um, educational. Kyle is a grad student/bartender in his mid-twenties who is determined to stop making bad choices when it comes to men. Eric is an uptight, clean-living, recently-divorced 41-year-old who is interested in exploring his sexuality. The book is very light and, I hope, funny and sexy. Kyle was the bartender that flirted heavily with Kip before becoming friends with him, and Eric was the goaltender for the New York Admirals, and one of Scott Hunter’s best friends. The main characters are Kyle Swift and Eric Bennett, both of whom appeared in the first book in the series. So sexy! The audiobook narrator for Common Goal will be Cooper North, and I can’t wait to hear it! I’ve enjoyed his work on other books, like Annabeth Albert’s Arctic Sun and At Attention, and Layla Reyne’s Dine with Me.Ĭommon Goal is a quasi-sequel to Game Changer. In other news, I have a new book coming out in September! Book #4 in the series, Common Goal, is out Sept 21 in both ebook and audiobook format. Mo began his career on Sesame Street, where he garnered six Emmy Awards. Other favorites include Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed and City Dog, Country Frog, illustrated by Jon J Muth. And his celebrated Elephant & Piggie early reader series has been awarded the Theodor Seuss Geisel Medal on two occasions (for There Is a Bird on Your Head! and Are You Ready to Play Outside?). Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! was also an inaugural inductee into the Indies Choice Picture Book Hall of Fame. Mo Willems (a number one New York Times best-selling author and illustrator, has been awarded a Caldecott Honor on three occasions (for Don’t Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!, Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale, and Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity). Tellingly, a key character refers to the cottage by way of the familiar horror trope of the cabin in the woods. Yet it appears that one urgent sense of the second place must be its work in separating mind, writing, and reality. It is also the place that M, or perhaps all women, take in relation to the freedoms and privileges held by men. This second place is the cottage that M and Tony resurrected on their property, and where L is to stay. (Similar to the way in which ebb and flow reveal reality, so has the Covid-19 pandemic, which the novel possibly alludes to, stripped our existence naked.) Indeed, mind-the human element-is here questioned deeply, or better: reassigned to a second place. Any attribution of meaning to it, then, is conditional on the desires of nature or reality itself. As M explains to L by letter, the marsh is covered over and given back by the sea twice every day. The narrator, M, has a private obsession with L’s art, and she is desperate to share the experience of the scenery with him. This is the landscape wherein Second Place, the new novel of Rachel Cusk-the prolific author of the Outline trilogy and many other works-is staged: an enigmatic seaside marshland somewhere in North America, where the narrator lives with her husband, Tony, and where they have invited L, a painter of waning aesthetic significance, to stay for an indefinite amount of time. THE MIND RECEDES, reality remains-and writing. In addition to her newest book, The Power of the Blood, Mary has also authored A Divine Revelation of Heaven, A Divine Revelation of Hell, A Divine Revelation of Angels, and A Divine Revelation of the Spirit Realm all four of which have been translated into Spanish. Her services are characterized by miracles and other demonstrations of the Holy Spirit. Here is an account of the place and beings of hell contrasted with the glories of heaven. Baxter visions of hell and commissioned her to tell people still alive on earth to reject sin and evil, and to choose life in Christ.

Visions of Hell.In A Divine Revelation of Hell, over a period of thirty nights, God gave Mary K. In the mid-1960s, she moved from Tennessee to Michigan with her family it was around this time that she began having visions from God. After a period of backsliding, she returned to the Lord and has continued serving him since. She has received several visions since that time and has used them to remind others about the importance of decisions they make on issues of eternity.īorn in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and brought up in a Christian home, Mary was born again at age nineteen. In 1976 during an extended period of prayer, she received visions of hell and heaven for forty nights, revelations of warning and of salvation that she has since recorded in her books A Divine Revelation of Heaven and A Divine Revelation of Hell. Mary Kathryn Baxter holds a deep concern for the unsaved. While Magnusson still recommends decluttering (your loved ones will thank you!), her ultimate message is that we should not live in fear of death but rather focus on appreciating beauty, connecting with our loved ones, and enjoying our time together. The Swedish Art of Aging Exuberantly shows all readers how to prepare for and understand the process of growing older and the joys and sorrows it can bring. Throughout, she offers advice on how to age gracefully, such wear stripes, don’t resist new technology, let go of what doesn’t matter, and more.Īs with death cleaning, it’s never too early to begin. She reflects on her idyllic childhood on the west coast of Sweden, the fullness of her life with her husband and five children, and learning how to live alone. In her new book she reveals her discoveries about aging-some difficult to accept, many rather wondrous. Now, unburdened by (literal and emotional) baggage, Magnusson is able to focus on what makes each day worth living. In her international bestseller The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning Margareta Magnusson introduced the world to the Swedish tradition of döstädning, or “death cleaning”-clearing out your unnecessary belongings so others don’t have to do it for you. From New York Times bestselling author of The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning- now a TV series developed by Amy Poehler and Scout Productions-a book of humorous and charming advice for embracing life and aging joyfully. So I encourage my colleagues to take the risk of believing that your students with CVI are capable of literacy no matter what form it ultimately takes….” (p. Still others will become skilled readers who will ultimately read fluently, with comprehension and pleasure…. Others will learn a discrete set of words that can be used for short passages or functional reading. Some will use symbol systems that are not word based. But I cannot foresee ahead of time which individuals with CVI will read, so I believe that all children must be provided a path to literacy. “I now know that some children with CVI will achieve the prerequisites for reading and ultimately become competent readers, while others will follow a different path. In her (new!) book, Cortical Visual Impairment: Advanced Principles, Dr. Still, I am filled with hope because some children with CVI can become skilled readers – and even fall in love with literature. As a mother, I could seriously read to my children nearly all day long if they would let me! I think one of the most personally devastating parts of discovering our daughter’s Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) diagnosis for me was the realization that reading books with her (and teaching her to read) will likely require a great deal of adaptation – and it simply will not be the same experience as I’ve had with her big brothers. She has a short exchange with Franklin the soccer player and tells him that she will see him soon.ĭream accompanies her and watches silently as Death visits various people across the world. After a time, she gets up, stating that she has business to attend to, and that Dream is welcome to accompany her. Death grows angry with Dream and tells him that she was extremely worried about him, and he should have called her. The two begin talking and Dream tells her about his decades of imprisonment, and how unsatisfying his revenge against his captors proved to be. Dream's older sister Death appears and sits next to him. He watches a young teen named Franklin playing soccer with a friend. Having finally collected his tools of office, Dream takes a moment of reflection in a public park, feeding pigeons. Destiny closes his book and the mortal takes their leave. Destiny reads from his book of Dream's capture, his escape, and his trials to regain his symbols of office. 2 Appearing in "The Sound of Her Wings"Ī mortal approaches Destiny in an unknown place and asks him questions about Dream.1 Synopsis for "The Sound of Her Wings". (The stories that play out in this book have long passed into legend by the time those living in the other are born.) You can even read this second installment in Shannon’s newly named Roots of Chaos series without ever having read its sister novel, but despite the almost two thousand pages spread between them, I don’t recommend it. It is a standalone prequel, set centuries before the events that take place in the previous book. Technically, her latest novel, titled A Day of Fallen Night isn’t a sequel or a continuation of the story we read in Priory. In fact, the only possible complaint about the book is that it was a standalone story, which meant that readers had to say goodbye to the intensely detailed, fascinating world that Shannon’s book built on its final page. A massive, old-school thousand-page epic about dragons and magic and secret sisterhoods of powerful sorceresses, Priory is female-focused fantasy at its absolute best. Though fantasy author Samantha Shannon may be best known for her sprawling dystopian Bone Season series-which, by the way, is excellent!-with its spunky heroine, deadly otherworldly beings from another dimension, and agonizingly slow-burn central romance, but it was the release of her The Priory of the Orange Tree that fully established her as a writer that could literally do anything in the world of fantasy.
