I’m gonna guess based on that stop showing Mercy quote that he’s Wrath? THE PRESIDENT IS ONE OF THE SINS! AHHHHHHH! Ohhhhh, that’s such a good twist. That’s why you’re never promoted.”-Pages 160-161 “Bradley: My orders were to kill everyone but the targets I specified. You really can’t trust this because it’s a “fair trade” and if Greed really is greedy than he’ll want more information than he’s giving away. ![]() “Armstrong: You, the stubborn owner of this butcher shop! Gaze up the true beauty of a State Alchemist!! CARVE THIS INTO YOUR EYEBALLS!”. ![]() The President Eye-Patch is here! In a Hawaiian shirt. “Al: AHHHHH! TEACHER, YOU’RE HURT! DON’T DO IT!! DON’T DO IT!!”. Greed is apparently the best of the sins so far. Greed: Sorry about your loss, kid…we cool?”. ![]() Some dude: Well, beneath that metal exterior he is just a 14-year-old boy. “Al: Well, that would be my big brother…but he’s…he’s gone. Wait so these sins don’t have eternal life? Interesting. It makes sense that he wants everything, he is greed. No, Izumi, he was kidnapped! Go help him! ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Castle by David Macaulay![]() ![]() "What David Macaulay can draw - churches, cities, pyramids - he does better than any pen-and-ink illustrator in the world. What could be more perfect for an author/illustrator who has continually stripped away the mystique of architectural structures that have long fascinated modern man? With typical zest and wry sense of humor punctuating his drawings, David Macaulay traces the step-by-step planning and construction of both castle and town. ![]() The word "castle" itself conjures up mystery, romance, intrigue, and grandeur. ![]() With wonderful detailed drawings and an interesting and informative text, this is a first rate history story for children and parents alike. ![]() ![]() ![]() 'Entertaining and engrossing' - ***** Reader review 'In a peerless class of its own' - ***** Reader review 'A really engrossing read' - ***** Reader review McCullough works to charge history with the current of personality.' - Booklist 'Intrigue, political manoeuvring, grandstanding, gossip, sex, both affectionate and calculated, and wholesale slaughter. McCullough has triumphed again' - Chicago Tribune 'An enormous rich mountain of a book, which will appeal to people who like their history in great succulent dollops' - Sunday Times Fans of Conn Iggulden, Madeleine Miller and Simon Scarrow will not be disappointed. This is an evocative and enthralling historical novel that will have you gripped. Let international bestselling author Colleen McCullough transport you back in time to Rome to 48 BC: scene of one of the greatest political battles and one of the most passionate love affairs of all time. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Walton’s novel is both strange and beautiful in the best of ways. It's a story that adults and teenagers can appreciate equally. Walton's novel builds to a brutal but triumphant conclusion. N entrancing and sumptuously written multigenerational novel wrapped in the language of fable, magical realism, and local legend. ![]() I can't get over this book- but why would anyone want to, anyway? I am actively jealous of these customers because they have the experience of reading Ava Lavender for the first time to look forward to. This story of three generations of women recalls the sweeping family saga of Middlesex, but without that pesky incest and extraneous sex organs. Kidding aside, I find myself finally understanding what I thought were bookseller cliches because of this book: I intentionally slowed down at the end of the story to make it last longer, I'm wondering how much time I should give myself before I reread it, and I'm picturing the readers for this book and testing out in my head what I'm going to say to them. Summary: A layered story of three generations leading up to the birth of a girl born with bird wings, and all of the wonder and angst that comes with them. Why you'll love this, short version: Magical realism isn't for everyone, but this book is. Why you'll love this, long version: I usually loathe magical realism (people can't be chairs, Aimee Bender!!) but I truly, truly loved Ava Lavender. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Jacqueline jones labor of love![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She is currently writing a book on the history of Savannah, Georgia, during the Civil War era, entitled Saving Savannah: Civil Wars in the Georgia Lowcountry, 1854-1872 (forthcoming, Alfred A.

Naturally, in short order I was promoted - twice. Wow, did it work - as my fellow Asperger’s sufferer John Elder Robison echoes in his great recent book on the subject, Switched On. I had new energy for reading, and the reason for that is simple…Īfter my Mom died, my doc gave me a long session of trans-cranial magnetic brain stimulation, to get me up and running from out of my deep blue funk. ![]() So I wolfed this one down - all 1400 dense pages of it - at work, and in our high rise apartment, in about four days.

This first choice of books may sound strange to my GR friends, but that was just ME that year. My Mom had recently passed away, and I had been treated for my resultant depression with electromagnetic brain stimulation. I gorged my famished literary appetite on this one in the spring of 1982. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Food iq daniel holzman![]() Now, in Food IQ, they're sharing their passion and deep curiosity for home cooking, and the food world zeitgeist, with everyone.įeaturing 100 essential cooking questions and answers, Food IQ includes recipes and instructions for a variety of dishes that utilize a wide range of ingredients and methods.
