Published by Gallery Books on July 2, 2013 ![]() ![]() She's been hiding out with seven others, including their future king, Mather, for 16 years. Meira wants to help save the kingdom of Winter more than anything. But the book was still written very well, so I liked it a lot. I was kind of disappointed when Meira was revealed to be the true heir of Winter, with magic inside of her because this is basically what happens in every YA book it seems. Sir and Mather secretly arrange for Meira to be married to Prince Theron for an alliance of their kingdoms, which of course makes Meira very upset. And so he and Meira can never be together, no matter how much they want to be. Mather is her best friend, but he is also the only heir to the throne of Winter, and therefore the future king. And so her weapon of choice is a chakram, which she uses instead of pretending she is good at swordplay. She hasn't beaten her best friend, Mather, in a fight once. Yes, Meira has grown up with sword fighting lessons, but she is awful at it. Yet despite this, Sara Raasch does not make her a heroine with unlimited skills and capabilities. ![]() She was raised by the commander of the Winter army and has been learning to fight for years. ![]() ![]() (It's only his fourth death and revival, after all.)

The Candy House opens with the staggeringly brilliant Bix Bouton, whose company, Mandala, is so successful that he is “one of those tech demi-gods with whom we’re all on a first name basis.” Bix is forty, with four kids, restless, and desperate for a new idea, when he stumbles into a conversation group, mostly Columbia professors, one of whom is experimenting with downloading or “externalizing” memory.

It is no accident that the first poem is entitled Scheherezade. ![]() The structure of this book is the story, the story board even. Does it matter that the tumultous and turbulent loves told about in the book are same sex? Yes and no. The hypnotism of the lines, the density of the texts makes us complicit, and proves a queer sort of intimacy. But it is also about using form to discover what is important. They also seem to be the work of a master cinematographer.The book is of course about unrequited love, about the need for love, about the failure of love. They are so elegantly crafted they remind me of the beautiful strokes of paint of De Kooning or Frankenthaler. The long lines are merciless and perfect. Richard Siken's Crush is an amazing book. ![]() ![]() Stephen Jay Greenblatt is a Pulitzer Prize winning American literary critic, theorist and scholar.

Everyone knows Murder on the Orient Express, made notable again by a recent film adaptation from Kenneth Branagh. So I feel confident about picking the best Poirot books. Out of Christie’s detectives Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, and Tommy and Tuppence, Poirot is my favorite, with his stuffy demeanor, his outrageous mustaches, and his little grey cells. So I think that I qualify as an amateur Christie expert. (Spoiler: He really was the best Poirot.) I have seem dozens of adaptations of her works, multiple times, including the Poirot series with David Suchet. That’s sixty-six detective novels, fourteen short story collections, and her six novels written under a pseudonym. I not only own the books she wrote, but over two dozen books about her. I read all of Agatha Christie’s books that year. And from that very first book, I was hooked. The image on the cover was an ominous cliff with a spooky face, with a mansion on top of it. I found a copy of And Then There Were None on the returns cart at the library where my mom worked. I was eight when I first read Agatha Christie. ![]() |
