The Trump caravan leaves scorched earth behind in the West and causes tidal surges in the East. In pursuing face-to-face negotiations, the US president hoped to nudge his North Korean counterpart away from nuclear weapons towards a more constructive path, opening up the so-called Hermit Kingdom to real estate development. “You see that whenever they’re exploding their cannons into the ocean,” observed President Donald J Trump, in a press conference following his recent summit with Kim Jong-un in Singapore. Until recently, no one has had the insight to point out that it has great beaches. Commentary on North Korea has traditionally focused on its dangerous and deeply entrenched regime, ruled with an iron rod since 1948 by three generations of the Kim dynasty. 5/27/2023 0 Comments Genuine fraud reviewCalling to mind her own The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks, she offers a shrewd critique of the roles traditionally available to female characters in literature and film.

Some of these books are shelved in the literary fiction section, but they contain a mystery that’s central to the plot. Today I’m sharing 15 titles by talented writers who deftly balance propulsive plot and stunning prose. That’s why, for the same reasons I adore compulsively readable literary fiction, I LOVE when a book combines the best elements of an unputdownable mystery and a beautifully written literary novel. There’s nothing wrong with bookish distraction, but I’m most satisfied with my reading life when my weekly reading routine includes a robust mix of genres. During stressful weeks, I devoured romance novels and puzzle-like mysteries for a dose of escapist bibliotherapy. When I (metaphorically) draw the Venn Diagram of my reading life over the last year, genre fiction makes up a BIG slice. 5/27/2023 0 Comments Miles morales omnibus vol 1Both of these volumes cover the entire story arc of Miles Morales’ introduction as the Ultimate Spider-Man and the conclusion of his first twelve-issue run ties directly into the “Secret Wars” storyline.
