![]() ![]() The central problem resides with the two main characters, Erika and Clementine, childhood “best friends” who aren’t even sure they like each other now that they’re all grown up. But the real sin of Truly Madly Guilty is that it’s simply not as much fun as The Husband’s Secret or Big Little Lies. Did a barbie blow up? Was (shudder) a child seriously injured, or worse? Or did somebody just disappear upstairs with somebody else’s hubby? The story’s mystery - strung out for hundreds of pages - is what awful thing happened at a backyard barbecue in the Sydney suburbs. Guilty of what? We’re dying to know.Īlas, Truly Madly Guilty is a bit of a letdown, a summer bummer, if you will. ![]() ![]() Moriarty’s latest novel sports yet another sexy title. Which brings us to Truly Madly Guilty (Flatiron, pp., **½ out of four stars). ![]() Who can resist a prolonged buildup, with the tantalizing promise of a scintillating payoff? It’s seduced many a Moriarty reader, turning tasty treats such as The Husband’s Secret into literary hotcakes.Įven Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman aren’t immune to Moriarty’s Aussie charms: They star in a forthcoming HBO adaptation of Big Little Lies, Moriarty’s highly entertaining tale of helicopter moms caught up in what may be murder. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is billed as a young adult novel, but adults will love it too. This book took me a little while to get into but once I did, I couldn't put it down. The interaction between the two main protagonists is brilliant and the unfolding romance is beautifully done. I thought no one could equal Jace, the hero of Mortal Instruments, but I think Alex might actually give him a run for his money. This is the most origional fantasy I've read since Mortal Instruments. Set against them our Alex, an AK (angel killer) and Willow, a half human half angel whom Alex has swarn to protect. ![]() ![]() The scary thing is it's almost believable. Angel is the story of a group of beings who visit our Earth to feed off humans and bring death and disease in their wake, while convincing their victims that they're actually divine, loving beings. Five stars doesn't seem nearly generous enough. I only wish I could give this book a higher rating. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Everybody has different opinions about whether or not it's okay to use Sanskrit, whether or not it's important, and whether it's disrespectful not to use Sanskrit because it's showing a lack of reverence. But being conscious of when I’m using Sanskrit is a big one for me. I think that so much of American yoga ends up being an appropriation of yoga practiced in South Asia. How do you navigate that line in your own life? You write about cultural appropriation versus appreciation. Those experiences become doorways for the reader to cultivate what Stanley calls “the yoga of every day,” or the way we can apply poses and postures to our daily experience. She shares her triumphs, her failures, and the ways she’s still unfolding. Stanley examines herself as searingly as she explores capitalism, cultural appropriation, white guilt, and cannabis consumption. We also witness a human being (a “Virgo rising”) who is learning to accept herself just like the rest of us. In Yoke ($14, Amazon), we encounter Jessamyn Stanley, the widely read author, committed yogi, and respected teacher. This opening anecdote sets the tone for the entire book. “I needed a close encounter with my imposter syndrome,” Stanley tells SELF, adding that examination is an ongoing process. Then she got on her yoga mat and let herself feel everything that cropped up. Stanley freaked out, contemplated calling her publisher, and considered writing to the reader. What happened next? Exactly what you might expect. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s an engaging start to Wells’s Mirador series. ![]() The ethnically diverse cast features several strong, resourceful women, while Marisa’s struggles with her artificial arm add another layer to the story, helping it stand out as more than a typical SF adventure.

![]() ![]() ![]() His presentation of cancer feels much more like a person than a disease, with leukemia serving as one of main characters. He knows the biology of the disease, which he describes as “the uncontrolled growth of a single cell,” and he notes that cancer cells, which grow better than other cells, “are more perfect versions of ourselves.”Īs Part One progresses, Mukherjee’s writing feels less like the history of the disease and more like a biography of cancer. The author feels stunned, almost to the point of incoherence, about the decisions he must make about his patients each day.įollowing his experience, the author is motivated to learn more about the history and ongoing war against cancer. He thinks about Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s novel Cancer Ward, in which the protagonist, diagnosed with cancer, experiences the erasure of his identity. Nothing in Mukherjee’s training could have prepared him for this work. Ten months into his two-year fellowship in oncology, the author already feels drained and inured to the death around him. Leukemia, a cancer of the white blood cells, is “breathtaking” with regard to its pace and acuity. His beeper informs him to see a patient with leukemia when he arrives. ![]() The author learns about Carla as he is heading into work at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

Some of them continue from where the previous story left off. And we have this beautiful, scary, delightful 750+ page horror manga book. Junji Ito being the smart guy, chooses the second one. The second explanation is scary and offers delightful possibilities in the telling of the story. It will probably lead to an old-fashioned revenge thriller. The first explanation is simple and logical. The second is that Tomie has come back from the dead. One is that the new Tomie is an impostor. ![]() So according to them, there can be only two explanations. They are sure that the real Tomie is dead. But other classmates seem to know something that we, the readers, don’t. Everyone looks at the class entrance, and who do they find? It is Tomie! She’s alive and kicking and acts as if nothing has happened! Some classmates feel that the dead person must be a different person and it was a case of mistaken identity. ![]() At that point, there is a knock on the door. Their teacher tells them that they have to be careful as the murderer hasn’t been caught yet. After her funeral, the students go back to class. It is later discovered that she is dead, brutally murdered. High school students go on a hike up the mountain, as part of a class trip. So finally decided to read ‘ Tomie‘ which was his first book.
