The bone shard emperor5/27/2023 The book picks up right where The Bone Shard Daughter left off, with young Lin Sukai now emperor of the Phoenix Islands, and desperate to prove herself to the people that her father spent much of his reign oppressing. And while reader expectations may be sky-high for its sequel as a result, The Bone Shard Emperor more than exceeds them, building on the (pardon the pun) bones of the first novel to craft a story that’s even more ambitious and engrossing than its predecessor. Andrea Stewart’s The Bone Shard Daughterwas one of 2020’s best fantasy titles, a rich and complex tale of family, politics, and betrayal all wrapped up in a refreshing (and vaguely terrifying) magical system that involves draining power from the literal bones of a kingdom. An Odor of Sanctity by Frank Yerby5/27/2023 The burden of raising the four Yerbys fell to his mother, Wilhelmina, who enrolled the biracial children in the Haines Institute, a private school for black students in Augusta. Glasrud and Laurie Champion "one of the most maligned and misunderstood writers of the twentieth century." Educated at Historically Black Schoolsīorn on September 5, 1916, in Augusta, Georgia, Yerby was the son of a hotel doorman whose work in Miami, Florida, and Detroit, Michigan, often kept him away from the family. Sometimes compared to pulp–fiction novelist Chester Himes, who was also black, Yerby has been termed by Journal of American & Comparative Cultures essayists Bruce A. With nearly three dozen titles to his name, Yerby enjoyed a lucrative career in the mid–twentieth century, with some 60 million copies of his books sold, but critics on both sides of the color bar dismissed his work as formulaic. Novelist Frank Yerby (1916–1991) was one of the first successful writers of popular fiction who was also of African American heritage. Love and friendship jane5/27/2023 Or can she have her cake and eat it? Based on a Jane Austen short story, "Lady Susan", this is a delight from beginning to end. A tale of deception, pregnancy and a marriage of convenience follows: does Lady Susan have to choose between her sexual desires and the rich, stupid and dull Sir James Martin (Tom Bennett, "David Brent: Life on the Road"). Playing many different ends against the middle, Lady Susan – with the collusion of her American friend Alicia (Chloë Sevigny) – attempts to both find a suitably rich suitor for her daughter Frederica (Morfydd Clark) as well as finding a rich husband for herself to allow her to stay in the manor (sic) to which she has become accustomed. Set in 1790, Kate Beckinsale plays Lady Susan Vernon, an 18th century cuckoo-like 'MILF' (actually, more 'LILF', but using the 'Lady' term loosely) who with her glamorous demeanour is lusted after by both younger beaus as well as married aristocracy: an example being Lord Manwaring (Lochlann O'Mearáin).
