![]() ![]() As a teen barely able to read but with a powerful memory, Haddish ends up in AP classes an attempt to impress a boy ends up with her first winning a Shakespeare monologue competition and Bar Mitzvah entertainment when her joking goes awry in class, she is given the choice between therapy and comedy camp. Like a fairy tale heroine, Haddish is able to spin straw (or dung) into gold. Haddish’s description of a life episode as a “weird fairy-tale horror story” seems to apply to her experiences generally (45). She is desperate to transform the attention she gets from her classmates from derision to awe, to go from being Dirty Ass Unicorn to the Last Black Unicorn (4). The unicorn is in the memoir’s opening anecdote, where young Tiffany is cursed with a spiky wart on her forehead. On the other hand, maybe it is, as the title suggests, all about unicorns. This funny and bracing memoir has very little to do with unicorns on a literal level. ![]()

A brilliant, unforgettable novel from bestselling author Ruth Ozeki, author of The Book of Form and Emptiness Finalist for the Booker Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award “A time being is someone who lives in time, and that means you, and me, and every one of us who is, or was, or ever will be.” In Tokyo, sixteen-year-old Nao has decided there’s only one escape from her aching loneliness and her classmates’ bullying. ![]() ![]() ![]() The relationship between text and image was foundational to Carroll’s creative expression from the start. While Tenniel established the enduring visual identity for Alice and her companions, Newell reinvented Wonderland by exploiting advances in technology. Indeed, Newell’s original drawings for Alice are among the most endearing works in the Harvard Art Museums collections. The books’ indelible illustrations by John Tenniel (1820–1914) and subsequent attempts by his younger American counterpart, Peter Newell (1862–1924), are no less powerful. ![]() These figures of speech from Lewis Carroll’s beloved books Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There (1872) still resonate today, especially as we navigate unsettling times. ![]() Recently it seems that we’ve been swept down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass into a strangely upside down and backward world. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Adult Fiction (94) Amy Plum (12) Author Interview (72) BOOK NEWS (67) BOOK REVIEW (474) Cat Clarke (12) Cat Patrick (9) Catherine Ryan Howard (6) Clare Mackintosh (7) Contemporary Fiction (9) Cynthia Hand (16) Dawn Kurtagich (7) Dolly Alderton (2) Dystopian Fiction (25) Emery Lord (13) Emily Barr (3) from book to screen (20) Gayle Forman (14) Gemma Burgess (7) Gillian Flynn (6) Gretchen McNeil (7) Halloween (24) HISTORICAL FICTION (27) Holly Bourne (4) Horror (5) Huntley Fitzpatrick (2) Jennifer Donnelly (12) Jennifer Niven (2) Jenny Han (19) Jeyn Roberts (10) Josephine Angelini (17) Julia Crouch (2) Juno Dawson (6) Katie Cotugno (8) Kim Harrington (11) KIMBERLY DERTING (20) Kimberly McCreight (3) Kody Keplinger (3) L.

For our purposes here we’re clearly more interested in the latter, of which he’s penned a huge number of books about killer crabs, locusts, werewolves, alligators, bats, various bugs and crustaceans, dogs, ghouls, monsters, snakes… Should I go on? Much like Part 1 of this series, I’m convinced there’s something on here for everyone… Some circles disregard Smith and chalk him as being another hack writer, but in others he’s praised as a writer who has produced troves of enjoyable books ranging from soft-core adult fiction to gory eco-horror.

Klara registers details that most people miss and interprets them with an accuracy astonishing for an android out of the box. ![]() She tracks his passage along the floorboards and the buildings across the street and drinks in the scenes he illuminates. Not needing human food, Klara hungers and thirsts for the Sun (she capitalizes it) and what he (she also personifies it) allows her to see. On lucky days, Klara gets to spend time in the store window, where she can see and be seen and soak up the solar energy on which she runs.
