![]() In the twelve stories that make up his latest collection (Viking/Penguin, 2007 hardcover/2008 paperback), Trevor returns to familiar, bleak territory. ![]() He is, as William Boyd magnificently observed in his New York Times review of Cheating At Canasta, “positively anti-Chekhovian,” everywhere breaking our inherited rules, explaining, leaving nothing unsaid, showing and telling to make his points doubly clear. But Trevor does not just bear silent witness: unlike most contemporary short-story writers, he spells out his stories’ moral lessons, traces them to their furthest conclusions, ties up loose ends. ![]() It’s true there is nothing he can do to save his characters from themselves. Even as he reveals lives destroyed or halted by mistakes, one is calmed by his authority, safe in his hands. William Trevor is a God anyone can believe in–ever-loving and omniscient, but not omnipotent. ![]() ![]() ![]() The mystery is well spun out and well solved with a nice air of humour along the way. The story itself is well structured and has plenty going on it avoids the trap of being dull by way of trying to "English" and is quite fun. ![]() In doing this it show Miss Marple's quiet use of the grapevine in nice contrast to the police resources of Slack. Stepping away from the uptight and repressed standards of the period this film instead builds on the gossipy, small-world nature of life in a small English village. Although I have seen several BBC Miss Marple films where boredom could have been the cause of the murder, I still tried again several times and I was happy when this film turned out to be one of the more enjoyable and free-flowing in the series. As they conduct their investigation, Miss Marple continues her gardening and listens to the village grapevine to build a picture in her mind of what could have happened. ![]() When the police manage to prove that the confessors couldn't possibly have done it, it leaves them with the question of who actually has killed him. ![]() In fact Protheroe is so unpopular that, when he is found murdered in the vicarage, several people confess to the crime to protect others who they assume must have done it. Life in the vicarage is not as gentile and peaceful as it would seem as even mild-mannered Reverend Clement is driven to swearing by the stiff-necked attitude of Colonel Protheroe over the church accounts. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Iris samples the last remaining batch, she realizes that their gelato recipe and her ice cream recipe are one and the same. ![]() His uncle, sole keeper of their secret family gelato recipe, is in a coma so the family can't make more. When Iris returns the next day out of curiosity, she meets the handsome Gio and learns that the shop is in danger of closing. As they walk around enjoying all the food and life the neighborhood has to offer, a little family-run gelato shop catches her eye-it's the same shop that's in an old photo of her mother's. He convinces her to come with him to a famous autumn street fair in Little Italy. But Bobby, Iris's best friend, isn't about to let her hide away. And after spending the last few years in a relationship with a man who kept her world as small as possible, she's feeling a little overwhelmed by it all. ![]() Book Synopsis A young chef stumbles on a secret family recipe that might lead her to the love-and life-she's been looking for in this stunning novel from the New York Times bestselling author of One Day in December When Iris decides to move to New York and restart her culinary career, she realizes she underestimated how big the Big Apple really is-all the nostalgic, New York-set movies she'd watched with her mom while eating their special secret-recipe ice cream didn't quite do it justice. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lewis George Orwell Mary Pope Osborne LeUyen Pham Dav Pilkey Roger Priddy Rick Riordan J.

And Now, The Kaiju Preservation Society Tour Whatever FURIOUSLY REASONABLE And Now, The Kaiju Preservation Society Tour Posted on FebruPosted by John Scalzi 25 Comments Yes, there’s a tour, yes, it’s going to be in person (knocks on all the wood), and yes, I’m excited. ![]() In an alternate dimension, massive dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm, human-free world. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization.” Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food delivery apps. The Kaiju Preservation Society is John Scalzi's first standalone adventure since the conclusion of his New York Times bestselling Interdependency trilogy. And our main character/us is there to not only prevent the kaiju from escaping and wrecking havoc on our world, but preserving them as well. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Also! Apparently in Berkely/San Francisco, you can get roasted garlic on any pizza willy-nilly! Why is this not a thing in the U.K.?! Guillory’s descriptions of food stand out again, this book specifically makes me want pizza so much. Parties that we hear about or see in The Wedding Date and The Proposal resurface here with new meaning, and we get some LOVELY updates on where the couples from the earlier books have ended up. Guillory makes neat use of the enemy-to-lovers trope and, having dropped hints in her other novels about these two, weaves her narrative through the events of the other books while still allowing their story to stand alone. Maddie and Theo are a brilliant rom-com couple. I think it’s actually the first one I read before realising it was third in the series and swiftly reading all the others as well, but it’s also the one that’s stuck with me the most. The Wedding Party, however, is absolutely my favourite. With the sexual tension rising, they agree to a secret enemies-with-benefits set-up that starts to build into something more…īy this point, it’s fairly clear that I’ve really enjoyed all of Guillory’s novels. This is further complicated by the knowledge that the last time they spent time together, it ended in an alcohol-fulled hook up that neither of them has stopped thinking about. When she gets engaged and enlists them to the bridal party, Maddie and Theo are suddenly faced with having to see each other far more often. Despite hating each other, Maddie and Theo share a best friend. ![]() |
