![]() The original table of contents is restored (under Joe Mugnaini's iconic original cover art), with Bradbury's familiar and characteristically wistful, dreamy fantasy, such as The April Witch, a haunting tale of teenage dream-traveler Cecy and her desperate desire for romance, mingling with brilliant science fiction like the title story and the widely reprinted A Sound of Thunder. ![]() A half century after its initial appearance, Bradbury's fourth published book remains vivid and memorable. ![]() ![]() This is fairly straightforward good versus evil plotting, but readers who stick with it should be impressed by a late-in-the-game twist regarding Ruby. Smith's (The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight) first middle-grade novel is a bit slow to unfold, but it's easy to root for the twins, especially smart, science-savvy Ruby, who stands by her brother while struggling with her jealousy about his special status. Joined by a wise Storm Maker, who has a long history with the chairman, and a scrappy mechanic, who specializes in earthquakes, the twins work together to thwart London's plan. First, her popular twin, Simon, is revealed to be a Storm Maker ("one of a very small group of people in the world who have the ability to influence the weather"), and she finds out that Rupert London, chairman of the secret Makers of Storms Society, is harnessing Storm Makers to create extreme weather-related disasters and has Simon in his sights as a successor.

Their day-to-day communication with one another was conducted by “house letters”, like in a Trappist monastery, where one has to stay silent most of the time and jot down essential communications to one’s fellow monks on pieces of paper. ![]() ![]() As his latest biographer, Gunnar Decker, relates: Accordingly, although the two of them lived under the same roof, he communicated with Ninon mainly in writing. His independence required that he hold all of humankind, and even his closest companion, at a rigorously policed distance. For him this was an intolerable disruption of the orderly existence he believed essential to a writer who had detached himself from the world. Writing to the woman who would become his third wife, Hermann Hesse complained: “Life for me now holds almost no pleasures any more, in fact I am living in Hell.” The event that had reduced Hesse to this state of near-despair was that his wife-to-be Ninon Dolbin had moved some of his books without his permission. ![]() ![]() Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy do a phenomenal job of helping us see the way." - Chris Voss, author of Never Split the Difference and CEO of The Black Swan Group “The avenue for success and happiness at work, even life, lies with emotions. It’s full of lively illustrations and practical examples to show how you can harness emotions to become more creative, collaborative, and productive.” - Adam Grant, author of Originals, Give and Take, and Option B with Sheryl Sandberg “If you’ve ever thought it’s best to check your emotions at the office door, this book will change your mind. ![]() This book will help you build the emotional discipline you need to succeed.” - Kim Scott, author of Radical Candor You can't build productive relationships at work if you're showing up like a robot. You can't communicate clearly unless you're aware of your own emotions, and the emotions you're sparking in others. “ No Hard Feelings dispels the myth that there's no place for emotions at work. ![]() ![]() ![]() From the No.1 New York Times bestselling author of Hook, Line, & Sinker comes a.

He became intense right off the bat, and at times, if I was in her shoes, I would have been running for the hills, thinking I was going to end up chained in his basement. Romancing the Clarksons- Too Hot To Handle (Paperback). Rita did as well, but she is definitely the realist of the two. I liked his backstory of being the town whore, until waking up after a bender, and hearing the women in the town talking about him as if he was nothing more than a walking sex toy, causing him to do a 180, and become celibate until he could find a woman who would take a chance and give him more than sex. Her mother picking her to teach the art of cooking, being who she was, put a lot of pressure on her, that took the joy out of it. It was interesting that it was Rita who was so adamant to complete their mothers final wish, when in a way, she was the most damaged by her mother, although not intentionally. I always saw the whole emo style as more of a teenage/college student thing, so it's weird to read about a professional adult looking that way. ![]() ![]() Which is a smidge inconvenient, because Rose Gold wants to be free of Patty forever.

It is also a style that is spot-on for describing unfamiliar places and cultures. Her style of writing has a compelling clarity, a directness and a deliberateness that help propel her fiction forward. I adore nearly everything that Ursula Le Guin has written.
