![]() We also meet Simon’s super-smart best friend Penelope “Penny” Bunce his girlfriend Agatha Wellbelove and his rich, arrogant, and possibly evil nemesis: Tyrannus Basilton “Baz” Pitch.įangirl makes no attempt to hide the fact that Simon and Baz are essentially Harry Potter and his schoolboy rival, Draco Malfoy. Leslie’s stories, Simon Snow is a teenage hero, who battles against the Insidious Humdrum: a being intent on destroying all magic. He first appeared in Rowell’s novel, Fangirl (2013)-a coming-of-age YA romance about a university student, Cath, who writes gay, enemies-to-lovers fanfiction for a series a bit like Harry Potter. You might not know Simon’s name, but his story is probably familiar. ![]() Having dealt with murder, depression and, demons, shouted defiance and questioned reality, Queen’s iconic anthem “Bohemian Rhapsody” ends softly and quietly with “Any way the wind blows.” So, too, Rainbow Rowell’s trilogy about Simon Snow-an orphan who learned he was the Chosen One, went to British magic school, fell in love, vanquished a great evil, and then had to learn what to do afterwards. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Plots include murderous, power-hungry werewolf “mutts” a serial-killing vampire mad parapsychologists bloodthirsty ghouls evil Cabals (think supernatural Mafia families) and a serial-killing black-magic cult. The women (and a few of the men) are put in jeopardy again and again but always make it through, although they sustain some relatively serious injuries along the way. Most of the romances play out over the course of several books, because the physical and emotional factors that keep them apart are not easily surmounted. ![]() Various other supernaturals play main and supporting roles in later books in the series.Įach couple’s obstacle-strewn romantic story is told in the context of many suspenseful and danger-filled adventures. Other major players include Eve Levine and her daughter Savannah (both witches). The primary couples are Elena Michaels and Clay Danvers (werewolves) Paige Winterbourne (witch) and Lucas Cortez (sorcerer) and Jeremy Danvers (werewolf) and Jaime Vegas (necromancer). The series tells the stories of a diverse group of strong, smart, and skillful supernatural women and their equally talented mates. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While they go hungry, other men dower their daughters with Mandelstam coin. As the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders, she should be living in modest wealth but instead, the money her father lends out never makes it back. When Miryem Mandelstam’s mother becomes ill, Miryem’s patience with her father’s sloth comes to an end. When her grand marriage to the most important man in the land turns into a fight for survival, she meets a most unexpected ally. She gets far more than she bargained for. She expects a simple marriage, to a man of moderate importance. Her father earned his title rather than being born into it and while men deeply respect him and his accomplishments, theirs is not the noblest blood. Irina is the plain daughter of the first wife of an upstart duke. A story full of adventure, wit, dangerous fey and clever queens, it is everything, EVERYTHING that a fairy tale for adults should be. Spinning Silver is a lush, richly imagined, gloriously magical fantasy novel that takes its inspiration from Russian and Jewish folklore. ![]() ![]() ![]() Written in the form of a fable in which life in Beijing is seen from the points of view of two cats, Soyabean and Tofu, it is a touching, pastel-coloured close-up of urban China inhabited by its citizens. Pallavi Aiyar, a former Beijing correspondent for The Hindu and The Indian Express, follows up her insightful collection of despatches, Smoke and Mirrors, with Chinese Whiskers. And this is where two journalists, both waiguo Ren - foreigners - in China, provide two very different pictures from the inside of an emergent world power in their books. For all its steroid-driven ability to turn a post-industrial marathon into a 100-metre dash, China’s ‘developing country’ mark, however, remains like stubborn oil stain on a wok.Īnd it is this underplayed aspect of controlled chaos and Confucian confusion that should be of special interest to readers of a country who share much of these traits, however apart China and India may have grown in the last 30 years on the (important) surface. ![]() ![]() In our obsession to figure out how India can play catch-up with China, we seem to have ignored one thing: wanting to know China beyond our points of dispute and envy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You can almost hear Lizza channeling her mother as she narrates. Apparently, Joan Aiken gathered her two children together (Lizza has a brother, John) and read them each chapter of the book as it was written. The audiobook begins with an essay by Lizza Aiken in which she discusses her mother’s life and the process by which she wrote The Wolves of Willoughby Chase. I can think of no better narrator for this book than Lizza Aiken, whose performance is both natural and engrossing. When you read it, you will yearn for the days in which everyone spoke in grammatically correct sentences and children could be expected to know the definitions of words like, “slavering” and “reticule.” In short, Joan Aiken makes the English language sing. In addition to being memorable and appealing, Aiken’s tale is a lovingly crafted pastiche, which pays tribute to several different genres, including ghost stories, Gothic novels, and the works of Charles Dickens (which truly are a genre unto themselves). ![]() ![]() The protagonists, cousins Sylvia and Bonnie Green, will earn a cherished place in your memory as clever, affectionate heroines who use courage, intelligence and ingenuity in a quest to overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. In The Wolves of Willoughby Chase, Joan Aiken presents an exciting story filled with memorable characters, including plucky orphans, cruel villains, terrifying wolves, and a boy who raises chickens. I loved this book as a kid and I love it just as much as an adult. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Could the Horseman be real after all? Or does something even more sinister stalk the woods? But then Ben and a friend stumble across the headless body of a child in the woods near the village, and the sinister discovery makes Ben question everything the adults in Sleepy Hollow have ever said. Fourteen-year-old Ben loves to play Sleepy Hollow boys, reenacting the events Brom once lived through. Twenty years after those storied events, the village is a quiet place. Brom says that’s just legend, the village gossips talking. Not even Ben Van Brunt’s grandfather, Brom Bones, who was there when it was said the Horseman chased the upstart Crane out of town.

Question: For starters, what was the moment-of-inspiration for this book? Did the idea evolve over time-was it something you’ve been contemplating for a long time-or did it just come to you all in a flash? Do you think we are headed for some kind of apocalypse that will leave a few humans left to struggle and fight over what’s left? ![]() Both the dog and the airplane play critical roles.
