![]() ![]() ![]() Riley is no mere cipher of a hero and neither is Savano, his modern counterpart both have engaging backstories, and throughout there is the sense of a writer who knows exactly what he's doing. Nothing has emerged from this pod in years, until Riley and the murdering Garrick arrive in a bubble of quantum "foam", and so begins a delightful adventure romping between Victorian London and the city of our own times. Savano, having bungled a job back in California, has been dispatched to idle away her career on a boring detail in London – watching a strange metal pod in the basement of a house in Bedford Square for months on end. At the last moment, the pair are catapulted forwards over a hundred years to modern London, and into the crosshairs of the FBI's youngest and mouthiest agent, Chevron Savano. And the past, Victorian London to be precise, is where the novel starts, as young Riley, the reluctant hero of the book's title, is led by his magician-turned-assassin master Albert Garrick towards committing his first murder. ![]() WARP stands for Witness Anonymous Relocation Program, a top-secret FBI witness-protection programme that hides its clients in a very secure place indeed – the past.

Watkins, Professor, College of Education, University of Illinois at Chicago This is a must read for those interested in knowledge and possibility.” -William H. “If Wayne Au wanted to ‘revitalize’ curriculum studies-it worked!

The column is an early and ham-fisted attempt to preemptively smear an upcoming book from well-regarded New York Times Magazine features writer Mark Leibovich. But it is the only reading that lends any sort of sense to this three-page dumping of tribal insecurities and resentment that Allen and Politico editor Jim VandeHei blasted out to the world in this latest, most cringeworthy episode of "Behind the Curtain." We really don't want to know-and don't have the requisite time to learn-about the fears haunting Politico senior writer Mike Allen, a man in his 40s who refuses to show or tell any of his friends where he lives. It's not fun, having to apply a therapeutic reading to some of the Washington press corps's most inscrutable minds. ![]() ![]() (Remember netbooks? Acer probably made yours).

It was about two women, and they fell in love with each other.” And then Lily asked the question that had taken root in her, that was even now unfurling its leaves and demanding to be shown the sun: “Have you ever heard of such a thing?” Which is why we’re more excited than we can say to partner with PenguinTeen to debut the cover and a new excerpt from Malinda’s latest and most personal book, Last Night at the Telegraph Club. Her work has remained incredibly relevant and sustaining to this site and this community, and her voice on current leaps forward in lesbian cultural production remains unparalleled. Malinda Lo has been an inarguably essential creative force in bringing us all to this current moment in queer women’s pop culture – long before we had The Half of It or the current rainbow of queer YA, Malinda Lo brought us Ash, Huntress and a wealth of writing by and for queer girls online.
![]() Rick Riordan has created a character with a voice that is developing superbly. If it didn’t and could be used to build suspense for the final novel then it was left in a way that hinted at an explanation but kept the reader on the edge of their seat with anticipation. When an event happened that needed an explanation to make sense it got one. Everything about the writing flowed amazingly well and unlike The Titan’s Curse, the story kept at a pace that was entertaining. It not only kept up a sophisticated air of a skilled story teller, but it kept the language simple at the right places so that you remember that you are reading from the point of view of a fourteen-year-old boy. The narrative of the story kept to the same writing style as the previous novels and was impeccable at capturing Percy’s voice. It follows the fourteen-year-old titular character, Percy, as he returns to Camp Half-Blood to discover the secret plans his friend Annabeth had been involved in prior to the events of the previous novel, the discovery of former camper Luke’s plan to use the legendary Labyrinth of Daedalus to invade the camp with Kronos and his army of monsters, and the inevitability he and his friends would have to enter the labyrinth themselves to persuade Daedalus to help them instead of Luke. The Battle of the Labyrinth was first published in 2008 and is the fourth book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series written by American author Rick Riordan. ![]() ![]() The Appendix, which contains an excerpt from Fargeon’s actual notes, describing different perfume ingredients, was interesting to read as well. There is a detailed description of the Parfum du Trianon, named after her favorite garden, a perfume which Fargeon designed specifically for her. Marie Antoinette, for example, was particularly fond of rose, violet, or tuberose scents. One of the most interesting aspects of the book to me was that it provides details about perfume formulae or simply what some of the popular fragrances were. ![]() ![]() “Perfume was no longer simply ‘the agreeable fragrance that pleases the sense of smell,” the author points out, “It was a key to the soul.” Perfumery was already well established in France, and even philosophers at the time acknowledged the importance of our olfactory senses. Based on Jean-Louis Fargeon’s-a perfumer for the court-biography, it offers a look at the fashion industry and the people who actually created the glamor surrounding the Queen. ![]() ![]() The book, as the title suggests, is not really an account of the historical events of this time or a detailed account of Marie Antoinette’s life (for the latter, I’d recommend Zweig’s or Frazier’s books). ![]() |
