James michener's the source6/9/2023 ![]() ![]() Today, we live in an age when the structure and concepts of our religion are an inherent part of our upbringing. ![]() While one part of the story keeps telling us about the archaeological expedition and the contemporary life in Israel of 1960’s, in a parallel thread we start out journey with the ancient men who lived in the caves of Galilee, with no concepts of individuality, family, agriculture, religion or God. Situated at a strategic location in Galilee, Makor boasted a formidable castle and tenacious men who managed to change the course of history in their small way. Today, it appears to be just a big hill covered in huge pile of rubble, but there was a time when it was a flourishing town teeming with live communities. Cullinane arrives to Makor, in order to start digging the famous ‘tale’ of Makor. The story starts as a renowned archaeologist Dr. While it seems to be such a vast canvas to focus on, Michener cleverly focuses on that part of Asia, where three most prominent religions i.e., Judaism, Christianity and Islam were born, flourished and are engaged in a mortal battle that seems never-ending even today. ![]() The Source focuses on the historical journey of mankind and how the concept of religion came into existence and evolved with the human race over thousands of years. : The Source: A Novel By James MichenerĪmazon.in : The Source : A Novel By James Michener ![]()

Out of nowhere by roan parrish6/8/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() I had a blast writing these scenes because it was a chance to write not only secondary characters, but teenaged secondary characters, with very strong opinions about pop culture, fashion, and each other (these are a few of my favorite things). In Out of Nowhere, Rafe works at the Youth Alliance, a queer youth group in Philadelphia. And when those characters do go on to become the protagonists of their own stories, well … that’s even more fun. As a writer, I love writing them because it’s a chance to play around with personalities on a small scale. As a reader, very little delights me more than encountering secondaries that feel like they have whole lives and habits and preferences that are fully formed-as if, by taking just a step to left, I could find myself in their story instead of the one I’m reading. ![]() A warm welcome to author Roan Parrish joining us today to celebrate her new release “Out of Nowhere”. ![]()

The penderwicks book 56/7/2023 ![]() ![]() "Pushed him away from the family forever, not even caring about those who love him and care for him?" Jane finished. "Kicked him out of the house?" Batty interrupted. "You're talking about what happened with Jeffrey! When I-" "Well, technically, it's a MOOPSMS, you know a Meeting of Older Penderwick Sisters Minus Skye-" Batty began. "Undying love for who?" Skye was poking her head through the door. "Maybe he confessed his undying love for her!" she gasped dreamily. "No, wait! I think I have it." Jane's eyes widened, too. ![]() "Yeah, but still." Rosalind began, but she stopped. "Maybe he started talking about romance to her." This, of course, was Jane, who couldn't help but add romance into the situation. "Skye may hate when Jeffrey does that, but that isn't enough for Skye to kick him out. ![]() Skye had lied and told them that Jeffrey had tried to get Skye to play the piano again, something Skye already hated. "I don't believe what Skye told us," Rosalind was saying. Yelling was Skye's job! Little did she know, her sisters were having a MOOPS (well, actually a MOOPSMS, a Meeting of Older Penderwick Sisters Minus Skye) in Batty's room. ![]() Even Rosalind, who had just returned home from college for spring break and was usually the calm sister, had yelled at her. All three of her sisters-well, the original sisters, anyway-had just scolded her for kicking Jeffrey out of the house two days ago. ![]()

Thirteen Reasons Why by Asher Jay6/7/2023 ![]() ![]() The rear of DJ has a Gordon Korman quote and no mention of Added Bonus Material. This quote is by Chris Crutcher and is present for at least the first 9 printings of the true first edition. As for Dust Jackets, the True First Edition, first printing DJ has a red quote in the upper right hand corner on the front. The 4th edition is the 10 year anniversary edition which is completely different than the first 3 editions. The third edition has added a half-title page with a picture of a cassette. The Second edition (whose copyright page also looks like a first) has illustrated map endpapers, 4 pages of praise before the first page of story text and an added section in the rear of the book with added material like 13 questions for the author. The first edition has blank endpapers up through at least 9 printings. So the copyright pages while not identical would still lead one to believe they have a first edition however once you get past this, the differences are easily distinguishable. ![]() Both also show the last printing date as 2007. The first edition and the second edition have similar copyright pages with a full numberline 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. This title is notorious for being misclassified as a first edition, first printing.and for good reason. ![]()
