![]() They’ve tapped the creators behind “Yedo”, an amazing worker-placement board game, as the game’s designers so you know it’s going to be awesome. IDW Games is adapting Kill Shakespeare into a board game and I could not be more excited. It currently has three graphic novels out and it just announced another mini-series slated for June.Īnyways, what I really want to talk about is their upcoming board game! Yes, indeed, comic books are now inspiring board games. If you like Shakespeare or even if you don’t but still like a good action-adventure-romance tale, then give Kill Shakespeare a read. And yes, my boyfriend does work with them, but this is not a shameless plug because I’ve read the books and have been a fan before he started getting involved. The series takes Shakespeare’s characters, puts them in the same world and lets all hell break loose. ![]() It’s a Canadian comic book series written by Anthony Del Col and Conor McCreery and illustrated by Andy Belanger. Don’t you just love alliteration? If you haven’t heard of Kill Shakespeare yet, then listen up one and all for a tale unlike any other. ![]() ![]() ![]() Hilarious, compassionate, and wise, Dear Fahrenheit 451 is the consummate book-lover’s birthday present, stocking stuffer, holiday gift, and all-purpose humor book. Through the lens of the books in her life, Annie comments on everything from women’s psychology to gay culture to health to poverty to childhood aspirations.

We read her love letters to The Goldfinch and Matilda, as well as her snarky break-ups with Fifty Shades of Grey and Dear John. ![]() In Dear Fahrenheit 451, she addresses those books directly. Annie Spence, who has a decade of experience as a Midwestern librarian, does this not only at her Michigan library but also at home, for her neighbors, at cocktail parties-everywhere. ![]() And they put back the books they treasure. They remove the books that patrons no longer check out. Librarians spend their lives weeding–not weeds but books! Books that have reached the end of their shelf life, both literally and figuratively.

Beezus is also commonly exasperated by actions on her disrespectful sister's part such as writing in a library book, inviting her classmates to a house party without the permission of her parents, and wreaking havoc during Beezus's painting class. It is the first novel in the Ramona book series, and the only book in Beatrice's (commonly known as Beezus) perspective.īeatrice "Beezus" Quimby, a close friend of Henry Huggins, is perpetually infuriated by the imaginative antics of her younger sister Ramona, who frequently insists upon exhibiting imaginative habits and eccentricities such as wearing her beloved homemade paper rabbit ears while pretending to be the Easter Bunny, dragging a string along behind her pretending to lead an imaginary lizard named Ralph, and being read an irritating children's book about an anthropomorphic, disgruntled steam shovel called Scoopy. Beezus and Ramona is a 1955 children's novel written by Beverly Cleary. ![]() ![]() ![]() We expect that you will understand our compulsion in these books.

This is a great book for inclusive classrooms or for a reading specialist. There is a little bit of humor in the story too. Readers will love when Lola gets a treat for being brave. The book goes through the routine of doctor exam. When the nurse calls her name, she goes in, all by herself. She needs to wait for her turn and uses the time to investigate the chicken, the pig, and other big dogs. The visit begins with Lola in the waiting room. The words in the text convey emotions, while pictures show what happens. The volume is especially designed for teaching students with Autism Spectrum Disorder. ![]() The perfect book to get kids - and their dogs - ready for a visit to the doctor!" -Carrie Ardoin, reviewer, Sweet Southern Home "This story focuses on the feelings of a dog, Lola, who is visiting a doctor. ![]() Lola is a wonderful example of facing the waiting room and beyond with bravery and resolve." -Jason Greene, One Good Dad "Once kids see how brave Lola is, they'll want to be brave too. ![]() "I wish I'd had this book with me the last time I was at the doctor. ![]() ![]() So they spend the first part of the book watching and circling each other and when they do meet, their exchanges are far from pleasant. For the first part of the book, Ian is very wary of Tansy – wary to the point of dislike – because he can see all too well what she’s up to, and Tansy, while she is absolutely knocked flat by Ian’s gorgeousness, is aware of his distrust of her. I think part of the problem may be because I felt almost as though I had read two books that had been sandwiched together around the half-way point. I’m not completely sure why – there is still plenty of humour in the exchanges between the hero and heroine and between the hero and his numerous siblings, the principals are very attractive characters it’s sexy and sweet and romantic, and all the secondary characters (who have presumably already featured in their own stories) are well drawn. ![]() I’m not up to date with the Pennyroyal Green series, but I did read the last book (It Happened One Midnight) and enjoyed it very much – I gave it 4.5 stars at Goodreads.Īlthough I enjoyed this latest addition to the series, I wasn’t quite as bowled over as I had been by the previous book. Long’s latest, Between the Devil and Ian Eversea. ![]() Dabney is an obsessive Pennyroyal Green reader. ![]() ![]() ![]() We also meet a regular at the café, Yaeko Hirai and the waitress, Kazu Tokita. The legend claims that the café allows people to travel back in time and Fumiko wants to travel back to the previous week in order to fix things with Goro. However, a week after she returns to this mysterious café which is part of an urban legend. This wouldn’t seem like too big of a deal until we learn that Fumiko is extremely work focused herself and I felt was most likely neglectful of Goro during their relationship. The Lovers introduces us to Fumiko Kiyokawa and Goro Katada, a couple who break up as he is going to America for a job. ![]() I think I will discuss each part separately and the wrap the review up with my thoughts on the book as a whole and whether I will be continuing to the other books in this series. ![]() From what I can gather the novel is going to be following for different customers of the café which is referenced by its four parts: The Lovers, Husband and Wife, The Sisters and Mother and Child. Review: All I knew about Before the Coffee Gets Cold before I went into it was it featured a time travelling café but with some interesting restrictions and I have been trying to read more translated books recently and this seemed like a good place to start. ![]() ![]() What if Alejandro Jodorowsky had directed the Dune film? What if Harlan Ellison’s script adaptation of Asimov’s I, Robot had been made? What if the producers of the third film in the Alien franchise had used William Gibson’s script, instead of whatever it was they let David Fincher work with?Īnother question we can add to this list is what if, in the early 1970s, Wendy Fletcher had made her dream project come true – Stormbringer, a feature-length animated adaptation of Michael Moorcock’s* acclaimed Elric of Melnibone novels?
