![]() ![]() Of course, this book comes with strong advisories for non-con, violence and abuse. I rated Neko with four stars because I admire the author’s courage in writing something so taboo and out there. Things got better later in the book, but not spectacular. It was very inventive torture, but it was never ending with no apparent escape or resolution in sight. It seemed like there was nothing but torture. I’m glad that there was a happy ending for Neko, but for the first half of the book, I was wondering when things would start moving along in the story. I can’t say I liked this as much as I liked Bloodraven. ![]() ![]() There will be resolution at the end, that was never addressed in the Comic book, but the Neko will go through hell before he gets it. There is brutal and inventive NON-CON, Bestiality, Torture, and exaggerated scenes of humiliation, sadism and bondage and gratuitous violent M/M sex. In the hands of brutal woodsmen, who consider him more animal than human, he learns the true meaning of brutality, until he is rescued by a mysterious trapper with secrets of his own. A young Neko is captured and sold into slavery. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() This way of treating the studio as an instrument would become known as “playing the studio”. The film reveals Wilson’s delirious way of working: spontaneously composing in the studio, leaving mistakes in, encouraging experimentation in others, and continually, himself, experimenting. We are given a fly-on-the-wall experience of a rarefied time and place as we witness the explosive in-studio creativity of Wilson expanding the language and traditions of popular music. His big idea was to create a unified artistic statement across a whole album.īy portraying the Pet Sounds sessions so extensively, Love & Mercy draws attention to the process of genius, rather than the product alone. Inspired by the Beatles’ album Rubber Soul (1965), Wilson’s vision was to transcend the sugary-sweet mixture of hit singles and filler material most albums aspired to at that time. ![]() Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) exists, and has influenced musicians ever since. It has been described as one of the most influential early concept albums, was credited by the Beatles’ producer George Martin as the reason Sgt.

I absolutely adored the Fear Street series (along with like every other series Stine’s written) when I was a kid and when I found out it was being relaunched my excitement levels were through the roof. He is the reason why I got into reading and why I love the horror genre as much I do. Stine is probably my all time favourite author. I received an ARC of this book from Netgalley and the publishers in exchange for an honest review. Packed with tension and sure to illicit shivers in its readers, this new Fear Street book is another terrifying tale from a master of horror. When Emma returns to the woods, the bag of money is gone, and with it, the trust of six friends with a big secret. ![]() But when tragedy strikes Emma’s family, the temptation to skim some money off of the top becomes impossible to fight. Should they take it? Should they leave the money there? The six teens agree to leave the bag where it is until it’s safe to use it. As Eddie is carving a heart into a tree, he and Emma discover a bag hidden in the trunk. ![]() Looking for an escape their dreary lives, they embark on an overnight camping trip in the Fear Street Woods with four friends. Now he’s back with another spine-tingling tale of horror in this new Fear Street book about temptation, betrayal, and fear.Įddie and Emma are high school sweethearts from the wrong side of the tracks. Stine has built his legacy on scaring children and teenagers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She leaves the farm and sets out on a series of adventures, sometimes with and sometimes without Roger. But right away we meet the self-deprecating Helen McGill, spinster and caretaker of her famous country author-brother, Andrew. He is a well-read bachelor who roams the country in his book wagon, Parnassus, seeking to enlighten all he can convince with his selection of great literature. To read the dust jacket, one might conclude that Roger Mifflin is the main character. Any book about a mobile bookseller from the early 20th century will have my interest. What’s not to like? I’ve read it a few times and it brings me a little bit of joy each time. Rather, it’s a lovely, sometimes humorous read with lots of book titles involved. It’s about time that I tell you about a little book that is one of my favorites – Parnassus on Wheels by Christopher Morley, pub. ![]() ![]() Six years later, amid changing cultural attitudes around queerness and trans acceptance, Gino reached a tipping point. To which Gino, an ardent feminist, replied, “Oh, sneaky feminism. was that adult gatekeepers would prevent boys from reading the book of “girl” were included in the title. “The way I remember it, my first response was ‘Excuse me, what are you doing with the word ‘girl’?” The critique, Gino recalled. The word “Girl” was dropped, to Gino’s displeasure. ![]() The book, which Gino had lightheartedly dubbed “Girl George” as an allusion to the androgynous, gay 1980s musician Boy George, received its first name change at the hands of Scholastic’s marketing team. To Gino’s surprise, they eventually acquired an agent for the project and ultimately sold it to Scholastic, in 2014. “It was a little pet project,” Gino told PW. Gino’s original intent was to print a few copies for distribution to trans youth via their local PFLAG organizations. ![]() In 2003, nonbinary author Gino, whose pronouns are they and them, began writing a story about a trans girl, the eponymous main character pre-transition, navigating gender identity and presentation when she is denied the chance to audition for the role of Charlotte in her school’s production of Charlotte's Web due to erroneously being labeled a boy. ![]() ![]() Alex Gino’s acclaimed trans middle grade novel George (Scholastic Press, 2015) is receiving an update in the form of a new name and a brand-new cover. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Jake’s dead, too?” “We don’t know for sure that he’s dead. We’ve been wondering what’s happening up there.” Bryce succinctly outlined the situation in Snowfield. “Charlie, this is Bryce Hammond.” “Yes, sir. “Sheriff’s Department.” He had a flat, nasal voice. Charlie answered the phone halfway through the second ring. The desk sergeant on duty was Charlie Mercer, a good man who could be counted on to do precisely what he was told to do. He dialed the emergency number at his own offices in Santa Mira, by-passing the switchboard operator. But he couldn’t just walk away from Snowfield now. ![]() ![]() He wasn’t the kind of sheriff who liked to grand-stand. He was in charge of the police contingent therefore, he would be featured in all the news stories. On a personal level, Bryce’s own life would be forever changed. The pressure to find a solution was going to be unbearable. The world’s attention wouldn’t be diverted from Snowfield until the mystery had been explained. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lives in South-West London, works from Blacks on Dean Street, shops at Piranha Comics.

Whenever a novel knocks it out of the park, as readers we’re often championing for a sequel. This Summer 2022, you’re invited to the event(s) of the season. Good thing Oliver is such perfect HUSBAND MATERIAL. But it’ll take more than four weddings, a funeral, and a bowl full of special curry to get these two from I don’t know what I’m doing to I do. Now it seems like everyone around them is getting married, and Luc’s feeling the social pressure to propose. In BOYFRIEND MATERIAL, Luc and Oliver met, pretended to fall in love, fell in love for real, dealt with heartbreak and disappointment and family and friends…and somehow figured out a way to make it work.

She was sweet and complimented my "No Mourners No Funerals" t-shirt. I just kept saying thank you and how much I loved her books. I did get to talk shortly with Leigh and honestly I was SO socially awkward. I wasn't fortunate enough to score meet & greet tickets, so I didn't get the chance to talk with my fav. I loved both experiences, but Leigh's was more quaint & intimate whereas Sarah, had limited availability and only a small few got to meet her after the Q&A was over. ![]() They're two different authors with two different styles. Trying to compare the two isn't fair in my eyes. I've been to one other author tour and that was Sarah J. I did take a few pictures and you can find them below. I didn't take notes or record anything because I wanted to focus on the experience. The first 30 minutes of the event was a live Q&A with Leigh. There were books & merchandise available for purchasing too. You were able to bring one other item to have Leigh autograph. ![]() We received a physical copy of Leigh's new book, Ninth House as well as, a leather bookmark. Can I start off by saying Leigh Bardugo is a spectacular human being! I was amazed by her candor and her personality. ![]() |
