My ears flamed, and I closed my eyes as I stood in line, knowing the blue-haired old bitty was talking about me. "It's a shame she couldn't hang on to that nice young man.

But when vicious murder sends a shock wave through her community, Allison finds herself at the epicenter of a bigger challenge than she ever imagined. ![]() Rookie detective Allison Doyle only has room in her life for one goal: to prove to herself and everyone else that she is every bit as capable as the men in her small-town Texas police department. ![]() This fifth thrilling Tracers novel from bestselling and award-winning author Laura Griffin features a rookie cop and an FBI profiler who discover they’re after the same killer-or is the killer after them? ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Samuel pepys claire tomalin![]() Ja ne called us up about three in the morning, to tell us of a great fire they saw in the City … By and by Jane comes and tells me that she hears that above 300 houses have been burned down to-night by the fire we saw, and that it is now burning down all Fish-street, by London Bridge. This clerk was Samuel Pepys and, from a historical point of view, he couldn’t have chosen a better moment to start such a detailed account of his life. This honesty sat alongside a lively intelligence which drank in all the events of the world around him. From its very first page it showed an almost shocking candour as the young clerk recorded not only his work and social life, but also the most frank and intimate details about his marriage and his own turbulent sexual desires. He wasn’t the first diarist in history, far from it but he was the first to find such potential in the form, and to make of his diary more than a dry chronicle of the times, or a self-examination of sins. ![]() ![]() ![]() On 1 January 1660, a young clerk in the Exchequer in London began to keep a diary. ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments The death of vivek oji![]() ![]() The women on the bus looked openly at him, his white shirt billowing out from the back of his neck in a cloud, and they smiled and whispered among themselves because he was beautiful. The first print would be of him riding a bus to the village to visit his mother it would show him dangling an arm out of the window, feeling the air push against his face and the breeze entering his smile.Ĭhika was twenty and as tall as his mother, six feet of red skin and suntouched-clay hair, teeth like polished bones. If this story was a stack of photographs-the old kind, rounded at the corners and kept in albums under the glass and lace doilies of center tables in parlors across the country-it would start with Vivek’s father, Chika. Their second book, Pet, was a finalist for the National Book Award for Young People’s Literature. Emezi's first book was Freshwater, named a New York Times Notable Book and shortlisted for the PEN/Hemingway Award, the NYPL Young Lions Fiction Award, the Lambda Literary Award, and the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize, and longlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award. ![]() The following is excerpted from Akwaeke Emezi's new novel, The Death of Vivek Oji. ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments Guts telgemeier![]() Soon Raina starts fifth grade, with her friends, and Michelle in her class, and a teacher she has had in another grade, Mr. Fourth grade ends as Raina thinks about how hard it is to get privacy, and the bathroom was the only place she could get it sometimes. Her mother takes her to the doctor who says she is healthy, but this does not explain why she feels scared. ![]() That night she thinks she will throw up again, the images depicting her spiraling and falling in green, but she does not, but she still knows something is wrong. ![]() Raina and her friends talk about their food at lunch, Michelle making fun of Jane, while Raina explains her family’s particular and picky habits. At school, another kid throws in the yard at recess and all the kids stare, and when the kid comes back everyone calls him pencil puke. The book starts as Raina wakes in the middle of the night, and goes to the bathroom to throw up, with her mother there beside her. For the purposes of this guide, the memoir is broken into six sections. There are no explicit chapter titles, but the author splits sections with an entire left side page filled with just an image and no words or page numbers - such as on pages 32, 70, 128, 140, 156, 166, 178, 184, and 194. ![]() The following version of this book was used to create this study guide: Telgemeier, Raina. ![]() 6/27/2023 0 Comments Once Was a Time by Leila Sales![]() ![]() Her thought processes had me cracking up no matter where I was when I was reading this book (mostly at work). The things that she thought, she things that she said, everything was just awesome. I spent most of this book laughing because of the things that went through Chelsea’s head. Most of the time, I’ll love a main character if I want them to be my best friend but with Chelsea, I wanted to be her. Leila Sales did a fantastic job of making me laugh at least every other sentence.Chelsea was a fabulous main character. This was such a fun book, I couldn’t put it down. I wish I had a war going with the Civil War kids, pranking each other and falling for the wrong boy. They never made it to my radar apart from the hour and half that I spent watching Sweet Home Alabama all those many years ago but after reading this book, I wish I had spent a summer of my youth at a reenactment camp. I’ve never really thought about re-enactment camps one way or another, at any part of my life. This was the perfect book to end the summer on a high note. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you haven’t read the book, go put it on your reading list. These unopened and uninhabited estates became the subject of a long investigative journey and eventual best-selling book Empty Mansions, co-written by NBC reporter Bill Dedman and Huguette’s cousin Paul Clark Newell Jr., (one of the few relatives to have conversations with her). A feature film based on the book is also in the works from the creator of “Glee” and “American Horror Story”, Ryan Murphy. No one had seen a photograph of Huguette for decades when she died at the age of 104– not even the caretakers who had been meticulously maintaining her three residences over the years knew what their employer looked like anymore. ![]() Her father became as rich as Rockefeller from mining copper and founded the city of Las Vegas, but Huguette wasn’t your average American heiress. ![]() She had three sprawling luxury homes at her disposal, but Huguette Clark chose to spend the last 20 years of her life holed up in a New York hospital room. ![]() 6/26/2023 0 Comments Hold tight harlan coben tv series![]() ![]() ![]() It all felt disjointed with a cliche sappy happy ending (kind of.?). I still have no real clue why we spent so much time on a thug who abuses/murders women and his annoying lollipop-sucking groupie. ![]() At least she cared more than some of the other parents (one who covers up his kid's drug problem, etc). Mom is demonized for spying on son, but if she just ignored her fears and something terrible happened, she'd be blamed for that, too- it's a no win. I literally kept falling asleep and having to restart episodes (although in fairness I was uber exhausted this week), because it jumped around so much and it was hard to invest/care about the characters. I enjoy the Polish setting and some of the soundtrack, but in general, I couldn't follow the myriad storylines. I've come to enjoy some of Coben's series, so was looking forward to this. ![]() ![]() ![]() OL2924123W Page-progression lr Page_number_confidence 88.16 Pages 154 Ppi 300 Related-external-id urn:isbn:0812882830 Urn:lcp:mystory00monr:epub:7716faa1-cac2-4ef4-800e-0973d94c5749 Extramarc OhioLINK Library Catalog Foldoutcount 0 Identifier mystory00monr Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t3fz1cb73 Invoice 1213 Isbn 0812817079ĩ780812817072 Lccn 74077341 Ocr_converted abbyy-to-hocr 1.1.20 Ocr_module_version 0.0.17 Openlibrary OL23252859M Openlibrary_edition MY SISTER MARILYN is a big hug across the decades to a sweet, talented.
