William Chester Minor, a former surgeon from the United States Army, is committed to Broadmoor after being charged not guilty of murdering George Merrett in London in 1872.

The movie is about professor James Murray, who was appointed director of The New English Dictionary on Historical Principles by Oxford University Press in 1879. Sean Penn and Mel Gibson were the artistes starring in the film.

![]() ![]() ![]() "On an island," thinks the grandmother, "everything is complete." In The Summer Book, Jansson creates her own complete world, full of the varied joys and sorrows of life. They discuss things that matter to young and old alike: life, death, the nature of God and of love. Together they amble over coastline and forest in easy companionship, build boats from bark, create a miniature Venice, write a fanciful study of local bugs. The grandmother is unsentimental and wise, if a little cranky Sophia is impetuous and volatile, but she tends to her grandmother with the care of a new parent. This brief novel tells the story of Sophia, a six-year-old girl awakening to existence, and Sophia's grandmother, nearing the end of hers, as they spend the summer on a tiny unspoiled island in the Gulf of Finland. In The Summer Book Tove Jansson distills the essence of the summer-its sunlight and storms-into twenty-two crystalline vignettes. ![]() ![]() ![]() He'll probably want to share your backpack, too.

"The year is 2380, and the graduating cadets of Aurora Academy are being assigned their first missions. ![]() ![]() Jenkins about the genesis of this new, must-have line of horror stories… I spoke with PAPERBACKS FROM HELL series editor Grady Hendrix, Will Errickson ( Too Much Horror Fiction blogger and author of the afterword to Paperbacks From Hell) and Valancourt publisher James D. ![]() The recently launched series offers readers a chance to re-experience classic horror fiction or perhaps discover it for the first time. That book is now being used as a blueprint for a new line of retro-reprints from Valancourt Books called, appropriately enough, PAPERBACKS FROM HELL. ![]() I'll freely admit it's a book I keep returning to for reading ideas or just to look at the cool cover art. It's a survey of paperback horror fiction from those decades in all their gory glory. Grady Hendrix shared that same appreciation with readers in 2017 with the publication of the Bram Stoker Award-winning love-letter to 70s and 80s horror fiction, Paperbacks From Hell. Those books never fail to evoke a sense of nostalgia and-I'll admit it-appreciation. Adorned with decades-old book spines that are predominantly black, they boast covers that are simultaneously creepy, kitschy and remarkably appealing. If you've spent any amount of time in a used bookstore, you've undoubtedly seen the horror paperbacks section. ![]() ![]() ![]() Aiden is young, hasn’t done much else in life, and has been fostering a secret (or not so secret) crush on Craw. ![]() Aiden works for Craw, who we met in book one. This is the second (maybe the third?) in the Granby knitting series by Amy Lane. Love this series - and Jeremy!!!! So sweet! I loved it! I can't wait to continue the series! Highly Recommended! With that small exception, this was such a feel good, fuzzy, warm, sweet novella with so many emotional turns and some sexy times (finally) at the end. However, continuing to refer to Aiden that way after they got together grated on me. I understand why Jeremy does it at first - to distance himself from someone he felt an immediate pull to, but who was too young. He's so good! My only complaint was the overuse of "Boy" and "Kid" when referring to Aiden. Philip Alces does such a phenomenal job with the narration. I loved the way I got Jeremy and Aiden's backstory, which just proved even more that these two belong together, and the wait to get them that way just made the whole thing even better. Even better, where Jeremy kept breaking my heart, Aiden was always there to put the pieces back together. ![]() Everything about it tugged on my heartstrings and made me want to find him, bundle him up, and hold him close forever. Jeremy's story absolutely broke my heart in the best way possible. I don't know why I waited so long to get into this series.I swear I'm kicking myself. ![]() ![]() The book won the 1978 Newbery Medal and has since become a staple of contemporary children’s literature. In 1977, Paterson’s novel Bridge to Terabithia was published to widespread acclaim. ![]() She later traveled to Japan, and her experiences there formed the basis for her first published novel, 1973’s The Sign of the Chrysanthemum, which is set in 12th-century Japan. As Paterson grew older, however, she developed a love of language, reading, and writing, and graduated summa cum laude from King College, a private Presbyterian college in Tennessee, in 1954. During the war, the family moved around the American South incessantly, spending time in North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia-an experience that disoriented young Paterson, whose first language was Chinese. Her father was a preacher who headed a local boys’ school-but during the Japanese invasion of 1937, the family was forced to return to the United States. Katherine Paterson was born Katherine Womeldorf to Presbyterian missionary parents stationed in Qing Jiang, China. ![]() ![]() To commemorate the occasion, No Direction Home – first published in 1986 – has been revised, edited and abridged by Elizabeth Thomson (who knew Robert Shelton as a mentor and friend for the last 15 years of his life) and comes to us here in illustrated form complete with more than 150 colour images. ![]() A picture of insouciant cool, he was 23 years of age at the time and about to release Bringing It All Back Home, Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde in a 15 month period, three epochal albums that would change the complexion of popular music irrevocably and forever.īob Dylan has long since firmly established himself as a modern cultural icon and is now, almost unbelievably, only a few weeks shy of his 80 th birthday. Captured on the cover of this new edition of Robert Shelton’s book No Direction Home, Bob Dylan stares into the middle distance from behind an impenetrable pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses and under a shock of electrified black curls, taking one final drag on his Marlboro cigarette. ![]() ![]() ![]() Clare's.Īccording to the Index Translationum, Blyton was the fifth most popular author in the world in 2007, coming after Lenin but ahead of Shakespeare.Ĭelyn and I have completed our marathon re-read of the Faraway trilogy.
