What’s Out This Week? 5/31

SUMMA SUMMA SUMMA TIIIIIIIIME

Flic: The True Story Of The Journalist Who Infiltrated The Police GN - Valentin Gendrot, Frank Wynne &Thierry Chavant

What happens behind the walls of a police station? In order to answer this question, undercover journalist Valentin Gendrot puts his life on hold for two years. He decides to undertake training and become a police officer. Several months later, Gendrot is working in a police station in one of the tough northern arrondissements of Paris, where relations between the law and locals are strained. Asking important questions about who holds institutional power and how we can hold them to account, Flic is a gripping exposé of a world never before seen by outsiders.

Frida Kahlo: Her Life, Her Work, Her Home GN -  Francisco De La Mora

Frida Kahlo, remembered as one of the most inspiring personalities of the 20th century, was a woman of two intertwined parts: she was both a charismatic and empowered artist exploring themes of resistance, authenticity, cruelty, and suffering, and a more private person whose wounded body caused her a lifetime of pain that underpinned the many successes and disappointments that marked her time in the world. Revealing and exploring these two Fridas, Francisco de la Mora's graphic biography-completed with the endorsement and support of the Frida Kahlo Museum in Mexico City-allows the reader to see just how far ahead of her time this complex artist was in her understanding of gender inequality and the culture of machismo, topics that remain relevant to this day and continue to lend resonance to Kahlo's painting.

Listen, Beautiful Marcia GN -  Marcello Quintanilha

Márcia is a nurse in a hospital near Rio and lives in a favela with herboyfriend, Aluisio, and her daughter, Jaqueline, whom she had very young with another man. Jaqueline, a troubled young adult, makes life difficult for her mother and Aluisio and rebelliously hangs out with members of a neighborhood gang, leading to violent altercations between mother and daughter. The situation degenerates even more when Jaqueline is arrested. Márcia and Aluisio, distraught, realize that Jaqueline is in deeper trouble than they ever thought.

Me & My Beast Boss GN Vol 1 -  Shiroinu

In a world where beastfolk are thought to be superior to humans, human office worker Saki Oki struggles to remain afloat in a company where she is belittled and tormented by her beastfolk colleagues and superiors. And so, when she is called into the CEO's office, she's prepared for the worst-but instead of firing Saki, he acknowledges her hard work and makes her his private secretary! She's delighted by his praise...but could that really be the only reason her heart is racing so fast?  

The North Valley Grimoire #1 (of 6) -  Blake Northcott, Giuseppe Cafaro & Fay Dalton

SPYCRAFT MEETS SPELLCRAFT in North Valley: a slick, James Bond-style adventure fused with the supernatural suspense of The Magicians. In this thrilling debut, a CIA black-ops division clandestinely hunts - and eliminates - the most dangerous threat in history: MAGICK. On a routine assignment, Agent Malek discovers a grimoire more powerful than a nuclear weapon ... but when The Agency wants to recover the spellbook instead of destroy it, he begins to question their endgame.

Pathfinder: Wake The Dead #1 -  Fred Van Lente, Eman Casallos & Steve Ellis

The tantalizing prospect of a rendezvous with a Geb defector in possession of priceless secrets from that undead nation brings a diverse group of adventurers to the Nexian metropolis of Ecanus. When they find themselves cornered by the city's remorseless Deathsealers, can the Iconics band together for survival & escape a city full of hostile wizards alive?

The Savage Strength Of StarStorm #1 -  Drew Craig & Jason Finestone  Orphaned amnesiac high school student Grant Garrison is just attempting to navigate his present and recall his past when a meteor decimates his school. In the rubble, Grant discovers a strange artifact from another galaxy, the weapon known as the Starstorm, and the power that resides within it will determine not only his and his friends' future-but the fate of the entire universe.

Starman: David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust Years GN  -  Reinhard Kleist

In 1972, the rock 'n' roll messiah Ziggy Stardust was born. His provocative play on sexual identity and gender roles laid the foundation for David Bowie's ascent to legendary status as one of the most successful pop musicians of all time. Reinhard Kleist weaves the gripping tale of this dazzling character's genesis, tracing both Bowie's hapless efforts on the London music scene before Ziggy's conception and his struggles with his own creation at the height of his fame. As Bowie transforms himself, ever more dizzyingly, into a self-portrait of an egocentric rock star, his extravagant lifestyle threatens to bring the real world collapsing around his ears. This publication has not been prepared, approved, authorized or licensed by the David Bowie estate or any related entity.

Oldest stone tools have been discovered in Kenya, but they weren’t used by humans

It was a stormy day in Kenya in 2017: paleoanthropologist Emma Finestone was recording the location of fossils when she made a shocking discovery. The team was removing the skeleton of an ancient hippo when they found a molar intermingled with early Oldowan tools. However, the molar did not belong to a human ancestor. The molar belonged to the genus Paranthropus, an extinct hominid and primate.…

Tour Schedule Page: https://thecoffeepotbookclub.blogspot.com/2023/12/blog-tour-signatures-in-stone-by-linda-lappin.html HIGHLIGHTS: SIGNATURES IN STONE   Signatures in Stone: A Bomarzo Mystery by Linda Lappin Blurb: Captivating critics and readers, SIGNATURES IN STONE, was the OVERALL WINNER in the DAPHNE DU MAURIER AWARDS for Excellence in Mystery and Suspense Writing - best mystery of 2013 Rome, Italy - November 2023 - Pleasure Boat Studio is thrilled to announce the release of the second edition of Linda Lappin's celebrated novel, SIGNATURES IN STONE: A BOMARZO MYSTERY. This captivating suspense tale takes readers on a thrilling journey through the enigmatic Monster Park of Bomarzo, also known as the Sacred Wood, an extraordinary Baroque sculpture garden in Italy. With the 500th anniversary of the park's creation, this edition is accompanied by a magnificent new cover and a series of Tarot card illustrations by Santa Fe artist Carolyn Florek. In SIGNATURES IN STONE, readers are transported to the atmospheric setting of the Monster Park of Bomarzo, a sixteenth-century garden adorned with mythical creatures believed to represent a terrifying journey into the realm of nightmares. Against this backdrop, four travelers find themselves intertwined in a fate-driven Italian holiday. Daphne, a British writer of occult mysteries, her down-on-his-luck aristocratic publisher Nigel, the aspiring artist and American gigolo Clive, and the art historian Professor Finestone, all converge in a dilapidated villa near the park. They are attended by rustic servants who harbor secrets of their own. Professor Finestone has made a groundbreaking discovery, revealing that the garden was designed by one of Italy's greatest artists as a transformative experience that delves into the shadow side of life. Over the centuries, the park's meanders continue to influence the minds and destinies of those who venture within. As the group explores their heart's desires amidst the haunting sculptures, they become entangled in a web of intrigue and danger. When Daphne, renowned for writing cozy murder tales, becomes the prime suspect in a shocking homicide, she must confront her own darkness and rely on her sleuthing skills to uncover the terrifying truth. Linda Lappin's gripping tale presents an intriguing exploration of gardens in Renaissance Italy, where they were regarded as tools for altering consciousness and changing destiny. The Monster Park of Bomarzo becomes the backdrop for a "Gothic-in-Wonderland" phantasmagoria, immersing readers in a suspenseful and thrilling journey. New Edition of Linda Lappin's Award-Winning SIGNATURES IN STONE: A BOMARZO MYSTERY Commemorates the 500th Anniversary of the Monster Park. Praise: “Layers of mystery are woven into Linda Lappin's beautifully written and atmospheric historical novel set in Bomarzo, Italy's enigmatic park of stone monsters.”~ Gigi Pandian, author of The Accidental Alchemist. “Deftly mixing fascinating art history and murder with an exotic atmospheric setting (the Bomarzo garden actually exists), dramatic historical period (1928 fascist Italy), and fully fleshed characters, Lappin (The Etruscan) has written a hallucinatory gothic mystery in which no one is as they appear. Daphne is a most memorable, if a bit unreliable, narrator. Readers looking for an intelligent summer mystery will find much to savor here.” ~ Wilda Williams, Library Journal Buy Link: Universal Buy Link: https://books2read.com/u/mYDWvd AUTHOR BIO: LINDA LAPPIN   Linda Lappin, poet, translator, novelist, and travel writer is the prize-winning author of four novels: The Etruscan (Wynkin deWorde, 2004); Katherine’s Wish (Wordcraft, 2008), dealing with the last five years of Katherine Mansfield’s life; Signatures in Stone: A Bomarzo Mystery (Pleasureboat Studio, 2013,2023), overall winner of the Daphne Du Maurier award for the best mystery novel of 2013; and Loving Modigliani: The Afterlife of Jeanne Hébuterne (Serving House Books, 2020), 2021 Daphne Du Maurier award finalist and shortlisted for the 2021 Montaigne Medal for Books of Distinction.

The gate to the park was locked, of course, and tall walls of shaggy yew hedges obscured the view within. I peered in through the iron bars, but all I could see was a gray sphinx crouching at the head of a path vanishing amid the thick vegetation where boulders were visible beyond. The statues in the park portrayed a series of monstrous, imaginary creatures—denizens of a pagan hell, or, perhaps, allegories of the seven cardinal sins. The place was known to local legend as “the Monster Park.” That’s all I knew about our destination, which had been explained during our journey down from Paris. As an author of mystery stories, I confess I found it all quite appealing. Instagram Handle: @thecoffeepotbookclub Bluesky Handle: @lindalappin @cathiedunn.bsky.social Read the full article

Autumn brown natural sandstone

The proper materials must be used if you want to improve the appearance of your outdoor area. Autumn Brown Natural Sandstone is a gorgeous alternative that well contrasts red brick walls. This specific type of sandstone lends a touch of rustic elegance to any situation, especially rural ones, thanks to its timeless appeal, toughness, and warm colour tones.

The surface of Autumn Brown Natural Sandstone is riven, giving it a distinctive and textured appearance. The stones' uneven edges increase visual interest and produce a compelling interplay of shapes and patterns. Autumn Brown is a popular option, especially for people who prefer a reddish hue over alternatives like Raj Green, because to the warm brown tones that harmoniously combine with varied environments.

Autumn Brown stands out because of the delicate purplish shading that frequently highlights its brown tones. This distinctive element gives older buildings an even more charming, timeless appearance. The earthy tones of the sandstone have an integrative impact with nature, easily blending in with the surroundings and generating a peaceful atmosphere.

In addition to having a beautiful appearance, Autumn Brown Natural Sandstone is incredibly durable. Because of its toughness, it will be able to resist the test of time, remaining attractive while withstanding various weather conditions and high foot traffic. Because of this, it is a dependable option for both domestic and commercial uses, ensuring that your investment will last for many years.

With Autumn Brown, maintenance is kept to a minimum. Each stone has its own unique character due to its split surface, which gives depth and personality to a wide area that may otherwise appear dull or monotonous. In addition to adding to the aesthetic appeal, the texture also provides a non-slip surface, making it a secure option for walkways, patios, and other outdoor spaces.

Autumn Brown Natural Sandstone is offered in a Finestone project bundle for those on a tighter budget. This alternative provides stones with a range of thicknesses between 18 and 25 mm, making it more inexpensive without sacrificing quality or aesthetic effect. Because of the pack's versatility, you can make a variety of designs and layouts that are tailored to your unique preferences and needs.

Autumn Brown Natural Sandstone is the ideal complement to your red brick walls, whether you're looking to make your garden more beautiful, design a stunning patio, or give your outdoor living spaces more personality. It's warm and earthy tones, durability, and little maintenance needs make it a dependable and time-tested option. Embrace Autumn Brown's rustic elegance to make your outdoor area a compelling retreat that melds with the splendour of the natural world.
