Set in present-day New Orleans, the series follows the activities of Victor Frankenstein, now known as Victor Helios, as he continues to create new life forms for his own purposes. The series is supposedly a modern updating and sequel of the mythology of Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein or, The Modern Prometheus, although the similarities are mainly superficial.

Researching was crazy because the pandemic had closed down libraries and bookstores right when I most needed them. Our (then) third grader came up with underwear.Īfter researching what had been published, there seemed to be room in the marketplace, so I wrote the funny nonfiction picture book, A Brief History of Underpants, then connected with a publisher via the Twitter event, #PitMad. Set out to prove them wrong, I brainstormed for a topic. While volunteering at our elementary school’s annual Book Fair, kids told me they thought nonfiction picture books were boring. How did you decide to write about “unmentionables”? Today it is my pleasure to feature a fascinating picture book by author CHRISTINE VAN ZANDT (Illustrator Harry Briggs) about something we all use, and rarely think much about until we run out…underpants!

Woodward has written about the last ten U.S. Woodward’s factual, non-partisan revelations to readers and speech audiences provide a view of Washington they’ll never get elsewhere. Since then, he has worked to shine a light on the inner workings of the secret government. Bob Woodward gained international attention when he and Carl Bernstein uncovered the Watergate scandal in 1973. Goals of forced national unity, purity, and expansion, accompanied by propaganda-driven public excitement, held the mixture together. While fascist parties had broad political leeway, conservatives preserved many social and economic privileges. Paxton makes clear the sequence of steps by which fascists and conservatives together formed regimes in Italy and Germany, and why fascists remained out of power elsewhere. Fascist parties could not approach power, however, without the complicity of conservatives willing to sacrifice the rule of law for security. Their first uniformed bands beat up "enemies of the nation," such as communists and foreign immigrants, during the tense days after 1918 when the liberal democracies of Europe were struggling with the aftershocks of World War I. He focuses more on what fascists did than on what they said. Paxton prefers to start with concrete historical experience. Whatisfascism? Many authors have proposed succinct but abstract definitions.

Before placing her in her mothers arms, she whispered, as she had at all the other births, hello, little amphibian. Longbourn gives us a glimpse, with marvelous historical detail, of what life was like in Regency England for the majority of the people who lived then.Ī fan of Pride and Prejudice, I loved Longbourn. When Sarah gets sick, her fellow servants do not have the time to take care of her, and the Bennets do not have the inclination even to worry about her. The servants are glad that Jane falls ill elsewhere, for they won’t have to clean up after her. The near tragedy that strikes Lydia works as a foil to the devastating events of James’ life.Ī reader might admire Elizabeth for ignoring the mud and trudging the three miles to be with her sister, but the maid who must clean her petticoats does not. Sarah’s double love interests (James the footman and Bingley’s footman Ptolemy) mirror, very slightly, the double love interests of Elizabeth Bennet (Darcy and Wickham). Pride and Prejudice’s story is a vague shadow against the engaging plot of Longbourn.

You can tell which characters are involved in the prior two books ( Well Playedand Well Met), but their love stories aren’t detailed enough to feel like it’s spoiling it in case I want to go back. Luckily for me, Well Matched by Jen DeLuca works well as a standalone too. But how was I supposed to scroll on past a book with a guy in a kilt on the cover? One simply does not do such things. I may have picked up yet another novel that is not the first in its series. Well, if it isn’t the consequences of my own actions… again. |
