I searched the remnants of my limited brain and suddenly realized that the letter had come from one of my best friends' mothers. I looked at the address again it sounded awful familiar. But in this case there was only a return address nowhere was there a name.

The reader wrote about how much she loves Faye's books, and she was shocked to find a few typos in one of the books. Well, recently I received a letter that had originally been sent from a reader to Faye Kellerman, who sent it on to us. This could include anything from factual information that an author wants to change to simple misspellings (although we pride ourselves in having many books with zero typos). In addition to updating front and back matter in order to keep everything up to date, I make sure that any text changes that need to be made are indeed made.

Seizing the chance to be innovators instead of cogs in the Microsoft machine, this intrepid bunch strike out on their own to form a high-tech start-up company named Oop! in Silicon Valley. ![]() Known as "microserfs," they spend upward of 16 hours a day "coding" (writing software) as they eat "flat" foods (such as Kraft singles, which can be passed underneath closed doors) and fearfully scan the company email to see what the great Bill might be thinking and whether he is going to "flame" one of them. ![]() Now, Sakura is thrust into a mystical journey to capture all the cards before they wreak chaos and destruction Cardcaptor Sakura, Vol. Highly amusing little book of coders all aged 32, mentally if not in years, being obsessed with programming and living their messy student-type lives shaped by. Narrated in the form of a Powerbook entry by Dan Underwood, a computer programmer for Microsoft, this state-of-the-art novel about life in the '90s follows the adventures of six code-crunching computer whizzes. From the acclaimed author of Hey Nostradamus comes a wonderful comic novel with more one-liners than a decade of Woody Allen films. The book once contained a set of magical Clow Cards, but they all escaped while the guardian of the book fell asleep. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was, and remains in some ways, a book for its time, and one that serves a specific purpose. In my review in Aboriginal History of Dark Emu when it was first published, I considered that, despite concerns about the author’s sources, it was “a powerful argument for re-evaluating the sophistication of Aboriginal peoples’ economic and socio-political livelihoods”. In this comprehensive, well-written work, Sutton and Walshe pursue a forensic critique of Bruce Pascoe’s book, which was originally published in 2014 as Dark Emu, Black Seeds: Agriculture or Accident? Pascoe wanted to enlighten the public by reassessing Indigenous Australians’ ways of living not as “mere hunter-gatherers” (as Pascoe put it), but as farmers and agriculturalists. It is an important intervention in a discussion about the myriad ways in which Indigenous Australians have continued to procure their living from the land and manage the environment. ![]() Farmers or Hunter-Gatherers? The Dark Emu Debate by anthropologist and linguist Peter Sutton and archaeologist Keryn Walshe is an impressively researched work of scholarship. ![]() ![]() ![]() One aspect of any of Ferrante’s novels is the mystery and debate around the author herself, people trying to find out who are they really and are they really a woman? I don’t really care about the ~mystery~ of the author, but I really appreciate a good story and this was one! It took me a while to get sucked into the novel but it eventually caught me like it has so many other readers. And it definitely was! I’m glad I waited until I was a young adult to crack this one open because it was truly a delight that was definitely not appropriate for my younger self to read. ![]() I hadn’t read this before because I was previously put off by the picture on the cover, it seemed a little old-fashioned and too “adult” for me. I don’t think I’ve been in a bookstore in the past five or so years without seeing this book. ![]() ![]() There was a lot of cattiness and a lot of negative situations going on. But, there’s still a lot of problems and to read about them through the mouth of someone who’s experienced them? That’s how I prefer it. I have friends majorly into k-pop so I’ve been explained some of this stuff. I know they’re making improvements in some areas. Ridiculously so and in a lot of ways there are so many issues and things that when I think about the stars I get very worried. ![]() ![]() if anything, it actually fits the nature of what this story is about very well. ![]() I’ve seen this book described as Gossip Girl meets Crazy Rich Asians and though I’ve never read or watched Crazy Rich Asians – an ill I need to remedy, I know – it definitely has the feel of YA novels like Gossip Girl, Pretty Little Liars and those sorts of very dramatic but very easy to read short novels. She’s nearly aging out of her chance to debut when she meets Jason Lee, a k-pop heart throb who she winds up developing feelings for. ![]() Shine follows Rachel Kim, an American-Korean girl who when she was younger moved to Seoul for the opportunity to start a career as a k-pop star. Because if you’re going to read about k-pop why not read something written by one of the stars herself? This book was one that I was lucky enough to win in one of the giveaways hosted during UKYA at Home and though it’s not maybe something you’d expect to me to read. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() If you would like to mask a potential spoiler, use the following format: (/spoiler)Īll times in ET (EST/EDT) unless otherwise noted.
