Memoirs of a geisha books6/26/2023 It was an extremely beautiful story, and an amazing book. Spoiler: yes it is a fiction, and yes, I was tricked during almost the entire book into thinking that Sayuri had actually existed, which she appearently hasn’t. Tea, jealousy, betrayal, revenge, virginity, dance classes, men are among the topics you can find in this brilliant story, but this brief summary doesn’t do it justice. Set in Japan at the beginning of the twentieth century, it ends after World War Two, and depicts both the story of a girl who was sold by her father to become a geisha, and the historical background of Japan at the time. The novel is presented like a memoir, and is the story of Chiyo, a young peasant girl, who becomes the great geisha Sayuri. Memoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden, is another one of the books I read in the past week, and I absolutely loved it. Moon bear by frank asch6/26/2023 This offers an important assurance to children who are not in a position to repay love shown to them, even while it does show that love should lead us to want to help others. However, the book also ends with the important message that love does not necessarily require need: love can be freely given without the expectation of reward. This book introduces the reality that love is often illogical and causes us to not always keep our own interests balanced with the interests of those we love. It stands in sharp contrast to "The Giving Tree" which has received criticism for its apparent endorsement of toxic, self-destructive, self-sacrifice for others. Words: I was impressed with the thematic complexity this book achieved given, as I've said, its narration is sparse and makes use of very basic vocabulary. I lack the vocabulary to describe the intricate pen and ink swirls that make up the night skies in which are often hidden shapes and images. The limited color palette worked well with the sparse narration, but could never leave the illustration described as simplistic. I was reminded of comics/graphic novels in the panel approach to showing the growth and diminishment of the moon. Illustrations: I found this book visually striking.

This, my friends, in addition to writing award-winning remarkable books and engaging with a burgeoning fan base as if she were close friends with each and every one of them. It has been great to work with her because she truly cares about every facet of the publishing process. Louise Penny is a magical, unique, hard-working, passionate, involved and deeply concerned author. Her star was rising, and every little attention to every little detail helps when you are trying to grow a career. Sometimes such scheduling complications happen internationally but with our second contract for books 4,5,6 I was eager to get on the same timeline, and not follow so far behind. For the first three years we published Louise following the Canadian publication the year prior. That was the year we published Still Life in the United States. I’ve been Louise Penny’s publisher and friend since I started at Minotaur Books in 2006. Symbiosis (Shuri by Nic Stone6/25/2023 Growing up with a wide range of cultures, religions, and backgrounds, she strives to bring these diverse voices and stories to her work. After graduating from Spelman College, she worked extensively in teen mentoring and lived in Israel for a few years before returning to the US to write full-time. She was born and raised in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, and the only thing she loves more than an adventure is a good story about one. Nic Stone is the New York Times bestselling author of the novels Dear Martin and Odd One Out. And what she discovers will be more shocking than she could have imagined. The search for this interloper, a mysterious "symbiote" with superhuman speed and strength, will lead Shuri to the Jabari Lands, a remote, unforgiving part of the country she has never seen. And as quickly as they broke in, they vanished. So the anxiety Shuri feels when she's jolted out of sleep by the queen mother with the news that someone attempted to break into the palace-and succeeded-is significant. The royal palace of Wakanda is one of, if not the most, secure facilities on this planet-or any other. New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone takes Shuri to uncharted parts of Wakanda in this original adventure. New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone takes Shuri to uncharted parts of Wakanda in this original adventure Somebody would whisper something to one person, who was supposed to whisper the same thing to the next person, who whispered it to the next, and so on until the last person said it out loud, at which point everyone would laugh because little by little along the way bits and pieces had been left out or misheard, other words had been added, details were lost, the sense changed-and the final message was usually totally different from the original.
