| Everyone's a Critic: Book reviews from you - Florida Times-Union Posted: 02 Jan 2010 08:55 PM PST 'The Interrogative Mood' University of Florida professor of literature Padgett Powell has written his most crowd-pleasing book since "Edisto." "The Interrogative Mood" is a book written entirely in questions. Though this may sound like a gimmick, it works and makes a stimulating and fast-paced book. Become immersed in Powell's many deep thoughts by reading this book. — Rod Sullivan, San Marco 'Into the Dark' Ingrid, 13, an avid soccer player, budding actress and Sherlock Holmes fan, needs to clear Grampy of a murder charge. She knows he didn't do it, but he refuses to reveal his alibi. The story unfolds against the backdrop of rehearsals for "Hansel and Gretel" (Ingrid's Gretel, of course). She also learns that her grandfather is a World War II hero and her parents' divorce is possible. Ingrid tracks clues, hones her deductive abilities and, finally, confronts the killer in a stunning climax. Peter Abrahams once again exhibits his mastery of mystery and suspense in the third book in the Echo Falls series. It's his best so far. "Down the Rabbit Hole," the first book, won the 2005 Agatha award and a nomination for the 2006 Edgar. "Behind the Curtain" was a 2007 Edgar nominee. "Into the Dark" is for readers ages 10 and older. — June Weltman, Mandarin Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. | ||
| The World of Myth Relaunching with Issue Forty-One in 2010 - PR-USA.net Posted: 03 Jan 2010 07:47 AM PST The World of Myth Magazine (a subsidiary of Dark Myth Production Studios), announced today that after a seven-month hiatus the Magazine will be returning in March, 2010. The World of Myth Magazine will once again provide outstanding literary and artistic contributions to its readers, all free of charge. With this incarnation, however, the magazine will have a darker edge, as it will now be targeting an older, more mature age group. The publication will once again be headed by Dark Myth's New President and Editor in Chief, Terry D. Scheerer. | The World of Myth Magazine ran for forty issues, debuting on September 4, 2004. During the magazine's five years of publication, readers came to enjoy stories from several genres, together with artwork, poetry, movie and book reviews. Returning with issue forty-one, the magazine will bring back all of its great selections, along with a new addition called, "The Realm of Horrotica," merging the former Horrotica On-line Magazine into the context of The World of Myth. "We hope to improve on the 'Dark Edge' The World of Myth was once known for with new Fantasy, Horror, Mystery and Adventure stories, poetry and artwork," said Terry D. Scheerer, Dark Myth's new President and Editor-in-Chief. "If you were a fan of the 'old' World of Myth magazine, don't miss our 2010 launch." Contributors for the returning issue have yet to be announced. About The World of Myth Magazine: The World of Myth is an on line magazine that publishes short stories, poetry, artwork, commentaries, opinions and reviews. Originally published monthly, the magazine is now published 4 times per year, and is delivered in an electronic form. Although its reviews and event listings often focus on the cultural life in the United States, The World of Myth also has a wide audience outside of the U.S. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.

| Posted: 27 Dec 2009 05:03 AM PST By The Saginaw News staffDecember 27, 2009, 8:00AM"A Quilter's Holiday" by Jennifer Chiaverini Simon & Schuster, 2009, $19.99 278 pages In the latest installment of the Elm Creek Quilts novels, readers follow the quilters as they gather at Elm Creek Manor for the unofficial start of the quilting season. Although threatened by an early winter snowstorm, they meet to work on a variety of quilting projects. Through a series of vignettes, the book delves into the lives of each quilter, their projects and why they chose each quilt pattern. This is a story of hope, tradition, generosity and holiday spirit sure to be enjoyed by quilters and non-quilters alike. Lori Sugden Reference librarian, Zauel Library "Gentlemen" by Michael Northrop Scholastic Press, 2009, $16.99 256 pages Recommended for grades 7 and up "Gentlemen" is the story of four troublemaking high school boys. When one of them disappears, the others become suspicious of their own teacher. The plot would interest young male readers if the story was not so slow paced. Too much inane detail in the narrative will make it hard for the target audience to read past the first 20 pages. Although it is not exceptionally gripping, this is Northrop's first novel and he does show promise for future works. Jessica Shepherd Clerical library assistant, Claytor Library "Flood" by Stephen Baxter ROC Book, 2009, $29.95 490 pages Four political hostages released after five years of captivity in 2016 find the world changed beyond all recognition. They vow to keep in touch, and their stories over the next 40 years show attempts to save the planet stymied as rapidly rising ocean levels wipe out major cities and even continents. In the end, Earth will survive, but will the human race? Eco-fiction fans will be intrigued by the hard science and theoretical plausibility of the doomsday scenario offered by this best-selling author.

| Tumnus’s Bookshelf:The NarniaFans Book reviews. “A Year With CS ... - Narnia Fans.com Posted: 30 Dec 2009 03:58 PM PST Hey everybody! Welcome back to Tumnus's Bookshelf where we review any and all books by and about CS Lewis and the world of Narnia. Today we will be looking at the devotional book "A Year With CS Lewis" edited by Patricia Klein.
Title: A Year With CS Lewis Author: CS Lewis Editor: Patricia Klein Publisher: HarperOne ISBN-10: 0060566167 ISBN-13: 978-0060566166 Review Collecting brief excerpts form some of CS Lewis's most profound works, A year with CS Lewis is a handy devotional guide providing 365 day by day readings from one of the 20th centuries Greatest arm chair theologians, CS Lewis. Summary: CS Lewis's books make for the perfect companions to read during a devotional time, so it is only fitting that some excerpts form his own writings be collected into a handy, concise devotional book. A Year With CS Lewis is one of two devotional books out there containing his writings, and it is a very wonderful collection. Best of all, unlike many daily devotional books, there is an extra reading for the month of February to be read on Leap Day when that fourth year rolls around. The daily readings come from Mere Christianity, Problem of Pain, A Greif Osberved, The Weight of Glory , miracles and Abolition of Man. Of his fiction, only The Screwtape Letters, and The Great Divorce faces are represented, perhaps because they have far more direct theological insights for a devotional guide then say the Narnian Chronicles, the Space Trilogy or Till We Have Faces. While the absence of his fiction writings, especially Narnia, may sadden many fans, in a way it reminds readers that there was much more to Lewis then just Narnia. Many of Lewis's more challenging essays are also featured in this collection, and that is one of the things that make it so great .instead of just throwing readers a few soft balls, the editors wisely chose to make this collection as thought provoking as Lewis's texts themselves. After all, devotional time should not just be about happy warm feelings, but also broadening your mind for Christ and for thinking deeply about Him and His ways. Also editor Patricia Klein includes on certain days trivia pertaining to CS Lewis. For fans wondering what day he was born, the year a specific book by CS Lewis was published or when he married Joy or even when Charles Williams, Owen Barfield or JRR Tolkien were born this book includes all of those facts. For the most the excerpts appear as is. Every so often material is truncated, but it doesn't damage the overall flow of the point of the expert and in fact helps it for its devotional purpose. The point and the message of Lewis's writing is still intact and it will only enhance the readers devotional experience. Klein has done an exceptional job both to CS Lewis and his fans in putting this collection together. I have used my copy for the past nine years and I am sure for other readers as well that it will become a treasured and valuable part of their daily quiet times.
