(Editing note: after counting she published TEN NOVELS and TWO NOVELLAS in 2013!!!!!) Most authors are really cranking it out if they manage to publish two books a year, but FIVE?! I want to know what’s in her coffee. I mean seriously, by the time you think you’ve caught up with her, she’s published a dozen more books. And this is just a sample year I chose at random. She published five novels in 2018, along with having stories in two anthologies that year. ![]() The very first thing that I have to say about Burrowes is that her publishing schedule is unparalleled, and when I say “unparalleled,” I literally mean I have never seen anything like it before in my life. Most Recent Release: Truly Beloved (Jan 2021), but she has The Last True Gentleman coming out in Feb. Most Popular Titles: The Heir, The Soldier, Lady Maggie’s Secret Scandal, The Virtuoso ![]() ![]() ![]() For parents and educators looking to teach younger children about this subject, I would recommend combining these two books, as the Chin title offers an imaginative introduction, and the Branley a more scientific approach. There is an informative afterword that provides more details, but overall I would say that this was a title suitable for much younger children, who might upon occasion ask something like: "why does everything fall down, instead of floating away?" Gravity itself is not something we completely understand yet, a reality that Franklyn Mansfield Branley highlighted in his own picture-book about the subject, Gravity Is a Mystery. This video was made in conjunction with UW Stout for a Children's Literature graduate course. The accompanying artwork is immensely engaging, vividly capturing the beauty of the cosmos, and the magic of flying objects liberated (in theory) from gravity.With no more than a word or two per page, Gravity is not a text-heavy book, and focuses more on emphasizing the central importance of gravity, rather than exploring what it is. This is a read aloud of the informational text GRAVITY written and illustrated by Jason Chin. In simple text, he sets out the importance of gravity, not just in keeping objects (and atmosphere!) tethered to our world, but in keeping our world revolving around the sun, and our moon orbiting us. ![]() Author/artist Jason Chin, whose many wonderful works of picture-book natural history include Redwoods, Coral Reefs and the recent Grand Canyon, explores the scientific concept of gravity here. ![]() ![]() The haunting grows worse and when Li Lan finally gets the courage to tell Amah what has been happening, they consult a medium to try and ward off the spirit of Lim Tian Ching. Things become even more complicated when Lim Tian Ching begins to haunt Li Lan in her dreams, trying to convince her to become his bride even as Li Lan finds herself attracted to his cousin, Tian Bai. ![]() Horrified, Li Lan and her father refuse but soon find themselves entangled with the Lim family. Li Lan is a young woman living in Malaya in the late 1880s with her father and her nurse Amah when her family receives the offer for her to become a ghost bride to their deceased son, Lim Tian Ching. ![]() ![]() ![]() After years of hoping Aveline's uncle would return, they have finally decided to sell his house - but Aveline and Harold have other plans.

First published in 2007, it was hailed as “a love letter, an invocation. ![]() No novel in recent memory has spoken more movingly to contemporary readers about the nature of love than André Aciman’s haunting Call Me by Your Name.

Listen to an excerpt of André Aciman's FIND ME audiobook, read by Michael Stuhlbarg. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was later discovered that Last Testament contained factual errors on matters that would have been well known to Lucania and also was built upon quotations attributed to Lucania that were fabricated by Hammer. ![]() Over time, the story was altered to suggest that Gosch provided handwritten notes to Hammer or provided his own recorded dictation of his original notes to Hammer. Little, Brown & Company followed up with a claim that a collection of Gosch's original notes - seen by no one connected with the project and allegedly burned by his widow after his death - was based upon thirty interviews of Lucania by the producer between 19. The publisher later issued a correction, revealing that no such recordings were ever made. The book's publisher, Little, Brown & Company, claimed in advertisements that Last Testament was based upon tape-recorded conversations with Lucania. The book was released in 1975, after Gosch's death. Gosch and Richard Hammer authored a book, The Last Testament of Lucky Luciano, that was packaged as Lucania's memoirs. ![]() Gosch later suggested, without providing any evidence, that Lucania had dictated his life story to Gosch. ![]() Lucania was at the airport to meet movie producer Martin Gosch and discuss a Gosch script for a Mafia-related movie. Longtime Mafia leader Salvatore "Charlie Luciano" Lucania, sixty-four, died January 26, 1962, of an apparent heart attack at Capodichino Airport north of Naples, Italy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even while describing the months of inactivity, as the explorers drift along on ice floes, waiting to reach open water, Armstrong (The Dreams of Mairhe Mehan) keeps her narrative moving at a brisk pace. ![]() The crew of the ship (which sank a year and three months into their journey) went on to spend an Antarctic winter camping on ice floes, battling sub-zero temperatures and frostbite, dehydration and diarrhea, insomnia, boredom and-perhaps most dangerous of all-despair. It is also a fitting characterization for the struggle of the men described in this tale, a true story of survival against incredible odds. Endurance is the fitting name British explorer Ernest Shackleton gave to the ship that left England in 1914 with a crew of 27, transporting what he anticipated to be the first expedition to cross the entire continent of Antarctica. ![]() |
