I was going to start this post with, “not to brag..” but actually, that would be a lie. So let me begin truthfully:

To brag, the latest printing of my poetry book comes with an important additional line of text on the cover. Read it and weep, y’all! https://bit.ly/SomeThingsMC

RACHEL CARSON

In 1951 Oxford University Press published American marine biologist and conservationist Rachel Carson‘s critically-acclaimed book, The Sea Around Us. It became one of the most successful books ever written about the natural world. Rachel Carson's rare ability to combine scientific insight with moving, poetic prose catapulted her book to first place on The New York Times best-seller list, where it enjoyed wide attention for thirty-one consecutive weeks. It remained on the list for more than a year and a half and ultimately sold well over a million copies, was translated into 28 languages, inspired an Academy Award-winning documentary, and won both the 1952 National Book Award and the John Burroughs Medal.

In 1958, Simon and Schuster published this special edition for young readers, adapted by Russian Empire-born American writer Anne Terry White, with illustrations by Rene Martin and maps by Emil Lowenstein. It also includes an additional chapter by Jeffrey Levinton, a leading expert in marine ecology, who incorporates the most recent thinking on continental drift, coral reefs, the spread of the ocean floor, the deterioration of the oceans, mass extinction of sea life, and many other topics. In addition, noted nature writer Ann Zwinger contributed a brief foreword. The last photographic image shown here is by American science photographer Fritz Goro.

I’m reading a random fantasy/romance book I got from the library, and it is so awful. Not to sound pretentious, but our dialogue is so much better. It reminds me of things I wrote in high school in terms of tone and attempt to sound “adult”.

opening a fic and seeing i went to … or i did this and i did that makes me back out immediately because it makes me feel like i’m reading someone’s diary 😭😭

New York Times bestselling and Bram Stoker Award-winning author Christopher Golden (Ararat, All Hallows) will publish The House of Last Resort on January 30.

The 304-page horror novel will be available in hardcover and e-book via St. Martin's Press. Read the synopsis below.

Across Italy there are many half-empty towns, nearly abandoned by those who migrate to the coast or to cities. The beautiful, crumbling hilltop town of Becchina is among them, but its mayor has taken drastic measures to rebuild―selling abandoned homes to anyone in the world for a single Euro, as long as the buyer promises to live there for at least five years. It’s a no-brainer for American couple Tommy and Kate Puglisi. Both work remotely, and Becchina is the home of Tommy’s grandparents, his closest living relatives. It feels like a romantic adventure, an opportunity the young couple would be crazy not to seize. But from the moment they move in, they both feel a shadow has fallen on them. Tommy’s grandmother is furious, even a little frightened, when she realizes which house they’ve bought. There are rooms in an annex at the back of the house that they didn’t know were there. The place makes strange noises at night, locked doors are suddenly open, and when they go to a family gathering, they’re certain people are whispering about them, and about their house, which one neighbor refers to as The House of Last Resort. Soon, they learn that the home was owned for generations by the Church, but the real secret, and the true dread, is unlocked when they finally learn what the priests were doing in this house for all those long years…and how many people died in the strange chapel inside. While down in the catacombs beneath Becchina…something stirs.

Britney Spears’s memoir, “The Woman in Me,” sold 1.1 million copies in the U.S. in its first week on sale, the book’s publisher said. The early sales number puts Spears’s book in the ballpark of some of the best-selling celebrity memoirs in recent years.

Yep, Lorath is headed to Skovos Isles to meet with the Amazons and maybe get something.

He also does not like ships and gets seasick.

More beautiful travel descriptions.

It seems Lorath wanted to find out what happened to the other Horadrim. Whatever it was, I don't think they left a good impression on the Askari.
