But the entrance to the Underworld looked like a cross between airport security and the Jersey Turnpike.Yeah, seems about right. 4.5 stars, review to come.
I walked, as I have said, as a ghost might walk; and when I wept, I wept as a ghost would: silently, not minding the tears as they came falling—as though I knew I had tears enough for a hundred years, and in time would weep them all.
We would hear in focus groups, ‘Yeah, Donald Trump throws bombs. He says outrageous things, but he doesn’t mean all those things. He won’t be like that as president. He’ll change.'To paraphrase national treasure Maya Angelou, "when people show you who they are, fuckin' believe them."
Review to come.
"SecUnit, do you have a name?”
I wasn’t sure what she wanted. “No.”
“It calls itself ‘Murderbot,’” Gurathin said.
I opened my eyes and looked at him; I couldn’t stop myself. From their expressions I knew everything I felt was showing on my face, and I hate that. I grated out, “That was private."
I loved??? this??? The Murderbot absolutely reminds me of how many of us disaffected millennials feel: genderless, sexless, just wants to be left alone to watch their shows and read their books.
Reread: Honestly, I feel like I relate to Murderbot even more now that I know more and understand myself better. I hope that Alexander Skarsgard lives up to it.

We travel through our narrator's unhappy marriage into the aftermath of her husband's affair, the divorce and finding who she is again without the nameless first husband. It culminates into the life she has with a new husband, who is the widower to the titular late wife.
"I couldn’t really let her come all the way back. I couldn’t let her return to what she was, I couldn’t let her come back whole and that, I think, really symbolizes her not coming back whole. Antebellum slavery didn’t leave people quite whole.”Review to come.
Rarely will you find a children's book that contains the words "improvident" and "soporific" and "doleful". But hey, Beatrix Potter doesn't have time to explain her vocabulary to your kids, okay? She's got bunnies to draw (and dissect). But her illustrations in this are as gorgeous as they ever were:
A kitten is convinced that the full moon is a bowl of milk just out of her reach, leading to shenanigans. The story is cute, but it's hard to believe it won the Caldecott for illustration in 2005. The drawings are very underwhelming and occasionally not quite cat-shaped.
Excellent choice for a Halloween storytime. The cumulative formula and sound effects are excellent devices.
