![]() ![]() ![]() The book chronicles her travels into Luristan, the mountainous terrain nestled between Iraq and present day Iran, often with only a single guide and on a shoestring budget. Instantly recognised as a classic upon its first publication in 1934, The Valleys of the Assassins firmly established Freya Stark (1883-1993), as one of her generation's most intrepid explorers.

Oh, and it’s Halloween, so all kinds of weirdness is afoot.īlessedly, this book is full of characters I want to spend time with. All while coping with a power grab from Maeve and dodging the Summer Lady and her Knight. Preventing a horde of spiritual inmates from escaping into the world and rending it asunder. So what’s he up to? Oh, you know, the usual stuff. ![]() It’s been a long year, and everyone in Chicago has felt Dresden’s absence. There’s a lot of tension and fallout between Harry and his friends/family over what he did in the last couple books. The stakes are high in this book, as they always are whenever Mab is involved. Harry’s back in Chicago for less than six hours and he almost dies at least twice.

I have trouble thinking about HEREVILLE without wondering what Orthodox Jews will make of it. And didn't stop until he'd finished-at which point he proclaimed it marvelous! I so enjoyed that moment.Īnd now, another confession. ![]() Why? Because of its tagline: "Yet Another Troll-Fighting 11-Year-Old Orthodox Jewish Girl." Who could resist that? Even my seventy-five-year-old businessman of a father-who is *never* tempted by children's literature-picked HEREVILLE up off my coffee table when he saw that tagline. Even if I'd never read and enjoyed a single graphic novel, I would've suggested that we consider HEREVILLE. HEREVILLE is funny and charming and hopefully the first of many more adventures from Mirka and her family. But that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of dangers for Mirka to face, fire-breathing or not. Unfortunately, Mirka lives in Hereville, a strict, Orthodox Jewish community, with not a single dragon to be seen (at least in the pages of this volume). HEREVILLE is the story of eleven-year-old Mirka, who'd rather be a fierce dragon slayer than learn how to knit or how to attract a future husband. I'm so happy that you've embraced the awesomeness that is the graphic novel genre, and HEREVILLE is a wonderful addition to the group. M: Julie, I was so very proud of you when you suggested that Please Don't Read This Book review Barry Deutsch's graphic novel HEREVILLE: HOW MIRKA GOT HER SWORD. Hereville: How Mirka Got Her Sword - Barry Deutsch ![]() ![]() Once she has adjusted to Jdahya’s company (and his largely passive tutelage), she must learn to communicate with the less-patient, intermediate-gender Kahguyaht (one of Jdahya’s two spouses), then with the family’s adolescent child, Nikanj. (It’s difficult, when reading the book, not to envisage the Oankali as looking like the Ood from Doctor Who.) Starved of human contact, and still grieving for a husband and son who were killed before the war which all-but-obliterated humanity, Lilith must conquer a deep-seated revulsion for Jdahya, the Oankali adult male who has been tasked with helping her acclimate to her circumstances. Her captors / guardians / mentors are the Oankali, a three-gendered race of grotesquely tentacled humanoids. Lilith is one of the few human survivors of a nuclear war which has devastated the Earth. She wrote several well-regarded series of novels Dawn (published in 1987) is the first novel in what is variously called her ‘Xenogenesis’ or ‘Lilith’s Brood’ trilogy.ĭawn starts with the reawakening of Lilith Iyapo aboard an alien spacecraft in orbit beyond Earth’s Moon. ![]() Her fiction has won Hugo, Nebula, and Locus awards, and she was the first SF writer to be awarded a MacArthur Foundation ‘Genius’ Grant for her writing. ![]() Butler was an African-American SF writer who died in 2006, aged 58. ![]() ![]() And so they embarked on a yearlong journey through the controversial text.Ī journalist who grew up in the Midwest and the Middle East, Power offers her unique vantage point on the Quran's most provocative verses as she debates with Akram at cafes, family gatherings, and packed lecture halls, conversations filled with both good humor and powerful insights. Both knew that a close look at the Quran would reveal a faith that preached peace and not mass murder respect for women and not oppression. Their friendship - between a secular American and a madrasa-trained sheikh - had always seemed unlikely, but now they were frustrated and bewildered by the battles being fought in their names. ![]() ![]() If the Oceans Were Ink is Carla Power's eye-opening story of how she and her longtime friend Sheikh Mohammad Akram Nadwi found a way to confront ugly stereotypes and persistent misperceptions that were cleaving their communities. ![]() ![]() Noahquageshik was hostile to the idea of a treaty ceding Ottawa land and rejected its terms. In 1821, several Grand River Ottawa, including Noahquageshik's fellow leader Keewaycooshcum, met with representatives of the United States in Chicago to negotiate the sale of tribal lands south of the Grand River in present-day central Michigan. Tecumseh was killed in this battle, and Noahquageshik inherited his tomahawk and hat. During the War of 1812, Noahquageshik was allied with Tecumseh during the Battle of the Thames. In 1794, he was involved in the Battle of Fallen Timbers, which was the final battle of the Northwest Indian War. He was one of the first Native American leaders to establish trade with European settlers in the area. Noahquageshik spent much of his life in what would become Yankee Springs Township in western Michigan. ![]() Noahquageshik (1755–1855 or 1770–1840 ), also spelled Nawehquageezhik, Nawehquageezhig, or Nowgeschick (from Naawakwegiizhig, "Noon-day" or "Noon-sky"), and better known as Chief Noonday, was a chief of the Grand River Band of Ottawa Nation Native Americans in what would become the U.S. ![]() Bronze statue of Noahquageshik on Grand Valley State University's campus in downtown Grand Rapids ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hilarious, irreverent, and wholly original, Several People Are Typing is the perfect remedy for any idle fingers waiting to doomscroll: a satire of both the virtual office and contemporary life, and a perfect antidote to the way we live #now.
