![]() These two artists create their art very differently - discuss their different creative processes and how their art is a product of their approach. What were the differences between Michelangelo and Leonardo’s relationships with their families - and specifically their fathers? How do you think those relationships impacted their lives and art? ![]() Discuss their human struggles and flaws and personalities in this novel and how that element of humanity in these artists improves your experience of their art. Our society/history, puts artists like Michelangelo and Leonardo up on a pedestal/out of reach… Oil and Marble tries to make them HUMAN. How did each artist affect the other in the novel? Do you think we would have Michelangelo without Leonardo and vice versa and why? Who do you relate to more, Michelangelo or Leonardo, and why? Did reading Oil and Marble change your perspective on those works? Has anyone in the book club seen the Mona Lisa and/or the David in person. When I first started talking about the book, readers were surprised that Michelangelo and Leonardo lived at the same time - was anyone at your book club surprised? Did everyone know they lived at the same time? Why DON’T we know this about these two most famous artists? ![]()

But Claire did a few things that iriked the hell out of me. Now, I completely understand feeling left out and comparing yourself to others. Though I did like majority of the characters, there was one character who I hated throughout the book. I don't see too many books with a pan character so it was nice seeing it. There was also a pansexual (and possible asexual, but I'm not entirely sure since the book doesn't say it) rep in this book. And I liked seeing Lucas so optimistic and caring. I liked seeing Valentine learn what friendship was. Out of all the characters, Valentine, Matt, and Lucas were my favorites. I really liked how these characters reflected that and made the readers understand that. We all have had thoughts of lust, envy, greed, sloth, gluttony, wrath, or pride. But this is also a reflection of society. One character is not strictly lust or envy or the other five. Each of the seven characters have more than one sin. ![]() But as I got further into the story, I realized that wasn't the case. ![]() I kept trying to figure out who represented what sin. I initially thought each seven characters were a manifestation of the sins. ![]() The seven deadly sins play heavily into the plot. It was everything I didn't know I needed. “We are always moving forward-I can see it now. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you don’t know anything about Morganville, here’s a summary:Ĭollege freshman Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation. My standards and taste in books as certainly changed. And I wanted to re-read the series for a while now, mainly to remember some of the finer details of the series and to see how the story holds up to me currently as a twenty-two-year-old young adult, rather than as pre-teen. I don’t know what it was, but ten-year-old-me was obsessed with this series. My sister had just started college and using her EMA money she bought the Morganville Vampires. And I probably wanted to copy everything she was doing, so I picked up the series as well. I was a very casual reader as a child, only because my access to books was minimal – I had only read books that my sister had on her bookshelf or whatever my primary school provided. What better way to start this new blog series is beginning with the series that I think kickstarted my love for books. Retrospective is a blog series where I’ll be re-reading books and series that I had read during my childhood and early teen years. ![]() As per Sarah’s announcement, I’ll be making a donation to the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of American Emergency Medical Fund in her name. ![]() So writing this now feels more bittersweet than I had expected.

Bonus points if there are multiple characters who have great senses of humour. Wit is essential if I don’t find myself smiling from time to time, forget it.But then again, it can’t be so bleak that I’m crying into my pillow every night and lamenting the hopelessness of the world (I get enough of that from reading the news). The book has to explore real issues-it can’t be too cozy.The supporting characters need to be equally interesting, even if they are only featured in one book. ![]() The detective must be a complex, interesting character, with the capacity to grow and change.The mystery must be a satisfying puzzle there can be none of that nonsense where the author springs a crucial piece of information on you at the last moment.I have extremely high standards and a very particular set of criteria for my ideal mystery novel, which are: I am eternally searching for murder mysteries that scratch a very specific itch. ![]() ![]() Her brothers grow up feasting on stories of valor and adventure, and Devon-like all other book eater women-is raised on a carefully curated diet of fairy tales and cautionary stories.īut real life doesn't always come with happy endings, as Devon learns when her son is born with a rare and darker kind of hunger-not for books, but for human minds.

What was your favorite part of getting inside Caleb’s head while writing Thief and what was the most difficult? Somehow you mastered taking on the POV of three COMPLETELY different characters in The Opportunist, Dirty Red and Thief. *excuse us while we shed a little tear for our beloved Caleb & Olivia* Ten years of personal emotions went into those books. Do you ever miss them at all? Wonder what they are up to? Obviously the PLN’s are completely obsessed over the Love Me With Lies characters but you have made it clear that you are done with them. Sooo our first question stems from this…What is it like to have such crazy, devoted fans? You know, fans that willingly call themselves Passionate Little Nutcases. ![]() Hey Tarryn! So, first off let us just say that this has to be our favorite moment yet of our blogging career and we are so freakin excited! We seriously can’t thank you enough! As you probably know we came together over our love for the Love Me With Lies series and not only created our blog but a wonderful friendship with each other and a group of other crazy ladies who we LOVE dearly (#PLN4LIFE! xo) ![]() ![]() ![]() As the technical difficulties pile up, and the sense that something truly awful has happened becomes impossible to ignore, Alam’s characters try to play-act normalcy even as our narrator casually, vaguely lets us in on little hints from the outside world about their impending doom. They’re surprised at night by the owners of the home, who have escaped their own place in the city because of a blackout. Of the stuff I read this year, Tess of the d’Urbervilles and Trust Exercise really pulled this off well, but no book I opened was better defined by the brutality of clear-eyed knowledge than Rumaan Alam’s 2020 novel Leave The World Behind.Īn apocalyptic story that barely concerns itself with the actual apocalypse at hand, Alam’s book follows a well-to-do New York City couple that takes a vacation out to a rental house on a remote part of Long Island. I love a cruel omniscient narrator-a mind-reading, all-seeing voice in a novel that relays its dramatic events with a matter-of-fact detachment and no regard for the biting cruelty of its honest observations. ![]() This is what the Defector staff enjoyed reading in 2022. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() OL19929352W Page_number_confidence 47.06 Pages 70 Partner Innodata Pdf_module_version 0.0.7 Ppi 300 Rcs_key 24143 Republisher_date 20210217124518 Republisher_operator Republisher_time 376 Scandate 20210213095653 Scanner Scanningcenter cebu Scribe3_search_catalog isbn Scribe3_search_id 9788528103267 Tts_version 4.

Dark Emu puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for precolonial Aboriginal Australians.
