It's like a trip to your favorite coffee shop, but without the calories!" -Leslie Meier, author of the Lucy Stone mysteries New Year's Eve Murder and Wedding Day Murder "If you like donuts-and who doesn't?-you'll love this mystery. "The perfect comfort read: a delicious murder, a likeable heroine, quirky Southern characters-and donut recipes!" -Rhys Bowen, Agatha and Anthony award–winning author of the Molly Murphy and Royal Spyness mysteries New York Times Bestselling Author Jessica Beck! When he turns up dead soon after his latest rant against Donut Hearts, Suzanne has no choice but to solve the murder or risk losing everything. ![]() Local radio host Lester Moorefield has a vendetta against Suzanne's donuts, and makes no bones about spreading his hatred over the airwaves. From the New York Times Bestselling Donut Mysteries ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments The legend of tarzan book![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Why does Clayton go back to Africa? It takes a lot of setup. His splendid backstory, meanwhile, is sprinkled through the action in brief, hazy flashbacks, so the whole thing feels like a sequel to a movie that was never made. It opens with Alexander Skarsgård as Tarzan - né John Clayton, Lord of Greystoke - back in his baronial English manse, where he’s “hybridizing coconuts,” with no intention of returning to the Belgian Congo. ![]() The new Tarzan film, The Legend of Tarzan, plays as if a dog ate part of the script. Fifty years later, Robert Towne wrote a script that honored its source, but it was so mucked-up by English director Hugh Hudson that Towne gave the credit to his dog. The old Johnny Weissmuller pictures dumbed Tarzan down, but he and Maureen O’Sullivan looked scrumptious in their skimpy loincloths (at least before the Hayes Office came along and covered them up). He also finds his dead parents’ treehouse (still with their skeletons) and teaches himself to read (though he has no idea how the words actually sound - or that the skeletons are his parents). Raised by apes, the child of shipwrecked English aristocrats doesn’t turn out a dearie like Mowgli in The Jungle Book but a badass killer who swings soundlessly through trees and drops nooses on his foes (human and animal). Why do filmmakers always louse up Tarzan? The 1914 Edgar Rice Burroughs book has a sensational first half, before the inevitable Victorian-Edwardian–era corniness and cultural supremacy kick in. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments Native son first edition![]() ![]() First Republic was sold to JPMorgan Chase bank, the nation’s largest.Īt midweek, First Republic’s branch at 44 Montgomery St., in the heart of what once was the Wall Street of the West, was still open under Chase control. Not only that, we began the merry month of May with news that federal regulators had seized First Republic Bank, an institution that was born and raised in San Francisco. We need help,” Dat Thieu, who owns the hot dog place, told Chronicle food writers Elena Kadvany and Mario Cortez. Even Umai Savory Hot Dogs on the food court level of the Westfield mall is affected. The cut-price Nordstrom Rack just up the street and discount Saks Off 5th are closing, too. And it’s not just the first-class customers who are being affected. Losing Nordstrom is a serious blow to the city. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments The Soul of Things; Or, Psychometric Researches and Discoveries by William Denton![]() ![]() He was a member of the New Shildon Mechanics Institute. At the age of fourteen he received workshop skills as an apprentice to Timothy Hackworth the pioneering railway and marine engineer at his Soho Works in Shildon. A Baptist teacher named William Shotton made a special impression on him, with demonstration of a home-made galvanic cell.

They had the same type of box, so until I unwrapped it, I was convinced that I had been given the gift I wanted. ![]() I found myself thinking, as I read, of an incident from my own childhood, in which I desperately wanted a particular toy for Christmas, only to be given one that was less expensive. Lucy's behavior was so over the top, and her change of heart so late in the story, that I found most of the narrative here rather unpleasant. It is only when she makes Sparkle cry that she relents.Īlthough author/illustrator Amy Young's artwork in A Unicorn Named Sparkle's First Christmas was every bit as cute as in the previous installments of the series, I was so put off by the story that I found I couldn't enjoy it as much as those other titles. ![]() Sparkle however, is more interested in playing with the birds, and when Christmas morning comes and Lucy has no gifts from her unicorn friend, she reacts very poorly. As Christmas approaches, Lucy becomes quite concerned about presents, frantically shopping for gifts for Sparkle, and instructing him to do the same for her. Lucy and her pet unicorn Sparkle, who previously appeared in A Unicorn Named Sparkle and A New Friend for Sparkle, return in this third picture-book devoted to their adventures. ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments The vanishing half goodreads![]() ![]() What will happen to the next generation, when their own daughters' storylines intersect?

There’s an inevitable comparison between Farm Boys and the film Brokeback Mountain, given their shared theme. ![]() Later in the 20th century, these men had a sense of the larger world outside their rural communities.” “Earlier in the century, the pressures to conform meant many gay men married–unhappily. John Miller-Stephany, who’s also Associate Artistic Director at the Guthrie. “There’s an incredible divide between men who came of age before the 1970s and those who came of age after,” says director. Dean Gray was one of the 75 gay men Fellows interviewed and, with Amy Fox, the two playwrights created five totally engaging composite characters. The hit of the 2004 Raw Stages series draws from Will Fellows’ book about 37 Gay men who grew up in the rural Midwest, coming of age between the early 1930s through the 1980s. ![]() For starters, I can’t remember the last play that inspired so much warm laughter in an audience, as I experienced during Great American History Theatre’s premiere of Farm Boys (running through May 28th). ![]() 5/28/2023 0 Comments Sandcastle levy![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Production is already under way in the Dominican Republic. Shyamalan and his Blinding Edge Pictures partner Ashwin Rajan produced Old with Marc Bienstock, while Steven Schneider served as an executive producer. Gael Garcia Bernal leads an ensemble cast that includes Eliza Scanlen, Thomasin McKenzie, Aaron Pierre, Alex Wolff, Vicky Krieps, Abbey Lee, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Ken Leung, Rufus Sewell, Embeth Davidtz and Emun Elliott. The graphic novel doesn't really explain the metaphorical mystery at its core, but Old isn't a straight adaptation, which is why it's merely inspired by Sandcastle rather than based on the graphic novel outright. The graphic novel is described as an existential horror story about the inevitability of death that plays like a Kafka-esque episode of The Twilight Zone or Lost. Indeed, Sandcastle follows a group of 13 people who aren't able to leave a mysterious, secluded beach that hides a dark secret involving time, which is referenced on the Old poster. ![]() |
