New Releases: March 2024

Tempting Olivia by Clare Ashton (1st) Olivia Sachdeva’s life is flawless. With a first from Oxford and as the youngest partner at Bentley lawyers, she expects high standards from everyone. Her only indulgences are eating iced desserts and repeat watching romcoms, especially those featuring Kate Laurence – pure escapism and cinematic perfection. But, when the actor walks into Olivia’s office with…

Mississippi: Origins (2013) by Anna Journey

In Episode 165, Rachel shares a poem that might feel a bit familiar.

Rachel: Y'know when you read, like, a David Sedaris book, and you're like, ―How fortunate that his family is so unusual, because that gave him so much content. And then you think like, ―Maybe all of our families are that unusual, and we‘re just not as good at writing as he is. 

The stories you tell about your family... are you just really good at telling these stories, or do you really have just this really kind of unusual experience? And I feel like Anna Journey is really good at just saying like, this is poetic in itself, and I'm just gonna tell you it plainly, and you'll kind of enjoy the story along the way, and it'll be a poem when I'm done. [laughs]

Rachel’s previous submissions of Simone Muench, and Bob Hicok’s A Primer, almost inevitably come to mind whenever I read this poem. In different ways, they all feel intimate, like cracking open a window and letting us take a lil peek inside, as a treat. Yet, even if we’re not from Mississippi, or Michigan, or another M-named place, there’s an undeniable recognition in their experience with our experience. Who hasn’t thought, at least once, why is my family like this?

If you’d like to hear more about the quirks of Anna Journey's family (like the skull fragment from medical school her grandfather used as an ash tray) you can do so here: Commonwolf, from 16:48 - 24:46

day 33 - how many bricks was it?

[lanistas]

"Sanctuary" 3x08 is probably my favourite episode so far. 100 points out of 10, brilliant, outstanding, revolutionary.

Adam Worth. An amazing character whose intense grief over the loss of his daughter led to rage and madness. A man clearly suffering from a psychiatric disorder. Someone who is an open wound, who is real and terrifying.

All the Five flashbacks. All of them!! How they interact, verbally and nonverbally, all of the hints to what their relationship is. How John, Helen and James literally circle around each other in almost every frame. How James becomes more protective of Helen when the time skip happens and Helen and John's relationship is a complicated mess. How Nikola and Nigel stick together, exchange snarky remarks and seem to have some connection of their own. How Nikola and Helen sometimes exchange furtive glances.

Apart from amazing flashbacks, we have modern times, with Helen (exhausted, suffering from radiation poisoning, slowly dying) and Will (extremely worried about her, hovering, trying to support her and ease her pain at least a little bit). And it's Helen putting up barriers again, because she is losing control ("I am 159 years old, you've known me for three!"). It's their conflict over Helen's past, over this whole Adam affair and the foundation of Sanctuary network. How Will feels betrayed and angry, how they raise their voices and shout, but the second Helen starts feeling worse, Will is there by her side. Fighting for her. Refusing to let her die. Ready to give Adam what he wants if that's what ensures Helen's survival.

Helen and John, every single moment with them this episode, whether in the past or in the present - perfection, painful and tragic.

Nikola and Henry - I never knew I needed more of them working together, but, now that we have it, I absolutely want more. Dream team, if you ask me.

And last, but not least, the contrast between Will and Nikola in how they deal with what's happening to Helen. Will is more emotional, with bloodshot eyes and tightness in his jaw. Nikola seems more distant and rational, yet we can practically feel how he fights for her quietly, out of sight, behind the scenes, and it's Nikola who goes and finds the Sanctuary charter, who challenges Helen's authority, because his worry and his love for her means he has to force her to step down at least for a while.

In conclusion, "Sanctuary" continues to punch me in the guts with its characters and plotlines. Thank you for your attention. This show still owes me my therapy money.

My Lv 2 Anna and her Pet Griffin kick the 💩 out of Advanced Class Lv 7 Corrupted enemies, in Fire Emblem: Engage.

She went thru using the 3 Houses Bracelet during her Axe Weilder class, then all the way to Lv 20 on Horse Cavilier with Sigurd, Wolf Knight for a while, and now Griffin Knight 💪

New idea for a blog

New idea for a blog: circulation assistant who enjoys talking about the books she checks in and out every day. I have no idea if anyone would find my opinions of books interesting: I'm mainly writing for me. Last fall, after the library hired me, I began keeping a list of good-looking children's books for my mother, who says she's going to start reading books to little kids somewhere, as soon as she's settled into her new apartment. The list mushroomed right away.

Can I start a blog this way? I'd love to keep notes on the books I see every day. For instance, today someone returned Jenny and the Cat Club, a book my grandmother used to read to me. So dear to my heart, little black cat Jenny with her red scarf and silver ice skates, and her wonderful friends. I'm overjoyed that someone is still reading it!

Also, a really funny edition of Frankenstein: Frankenstein: Annotated for Scientists, Engineers, and Creators of All Kinds. Worrisome, isn't it, to think that someone seems to want to encourage scientists to...um...duplicate Frankenstein's research? Not sure if that is what is intended by the title.

Just read an adorable book called It Came in the Mail. Little boy loves getting mail, so he writes a letter to the mailbox asking it to send him things. The first thing that arrives is a dragon. All the art is letter/postcard art, with appropriate and adapted post office stamps: "oversize" on the elephant, and "pearishable" on a giant pear.

Every day I'm amazed at the dazzling and creative art used in children's books. Yesterday I read a sweet Native American myth, called The Girl Who Loved Horses, a Caldecott winner from 1978 by Paul Goble. His Native American-style art is colorful and gorgeous, and sweeps across the pages in a way that suggests wild mustangs in motion.

The popularity of graphic novels has freed both adult and children's book authors from the either/or of "text" or "picture book". I nabbed a book today that I'd like to read called Trial by Jury Journal. I opened it to find that the story is told by all kinds of print media - the usual paragraphs, letters, newspaper articles, etc. I love creative flights like this. It reminds me of that beautiful series of books done as letters and postcards: Nick Bantock's Griffin and Sabine romance. I love the zing I get when I can connect two authors and think, I wonder if the older book(s) had an influence on the newer ones? Did Bantock's books pave the way for others of this type?

Update on Trial by Jury Journal: Good but not great. Kids will probably appreciate the character name puns more than I did - over several pages it wears a little thin (e.g., Anna Conda, Rhett Tyle). Still, the narration style keeps switching, which both keeps it interesting and develops individual characters. However, I think she could've gone further with the character development. They're not flat, but they don't have a full three dimensions. Still love the pen-and-ink art, reminiscent of Joseph Schindelman's original Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Lemony Snickett.

Then there's Kaz Windness's If Ur Stabby, about a psycho anti-unicorn. Definitely NOT for kids under 12. A nice old man handed me the book the other day because (I think) his granddaughter had pulled it off the (presumably) adult graphic novel shelf, and he thought it might not be for children. Which it is NOT. However, the dark (one might say sick) humor of a depressed unicorn depicted largely in black and white is pretty funny if you've had a little too much princess literature, or the Pinkalicious series, come across your desk.

Just did a deeper dive into Stabby, who is apparently a graduate of Mother Goth Rhymes, which I can't put on hold right now because I have too many other books out that are overdue. (Just can't get myself to read enough. Very frustrating.) Fascinating stuff, though - "Stabby the Unicorn" is a meme, and apparently a game - "Unstable Unicorns", which would be a great name for a band, don't you think? But the game - "a strategic card game that will destroy your friendships" - is a little to manga for my taste. Even though they're "unstable", they're too cute and marshmallowy. More on that some other time, I think. Stabby is not manga. Original artwork - lots of curly, swirly letters and piles of skulls.

On a more serious, but still dark, note, I saw a book today entitled The Midwife of Auschwitz. My first reaction was YOW, this sounds horribly depressing. I was intrigued enough to read the blurb on the back, and it depicts exactly the story you'd expect of the title. However, I expect it would be an interesting take on the Holocaust, if you're in the right frame of mind. It turns out that among the atrocities the Nazis committed at the camps, they took the most Aryan-looking babies and gave them to German couples wanting children. Just like the Irish nuns and the evil folks in Before We Were Yours did.
