![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() One of these two books was highly recommended by PBT members - and unfortunately, I'm not sure which one - but something tells me it might have been Weir's and not Fraser's. There is a book of the same title written by Alison Weir. If you aren't familiar with his story - I highly suggest renting HBO's The Tudors - which I now know (thanks to Fraser's book) has a lot of historical accuracy to it while being totally engrossing.Īll in all, if you are interested in Tudor history, this book gives a great historical frame of reference for the period. Seriously, Henry VIII would be featured on the front of People magazine for 10 plus years if this story were taking place in the modern day. She does her best to weave an interesting tale - but you can't help but think how much MORE interesting this story would be if we were experiencing it in modern times with a modern press. To me, this book really does read like history if Fraser doesn't know something, she doesn't make any assumptions without making it clear that she is doing so. In the process, she certainly also portrays King Henry. Bear that in mind if you decide to pick it up.įraser basically devotes her book to understanding the various wives, why Henry VIII chose them, what caused their demise, and the political backdrop that influenced everything the king did. So my four stars has NO CONTEXT whatsoever. Let's just put all the cards on the table, shall we? I don't read history books. ![]()

Sam Harris is an author of a handful of books, published in more than 20 languages. If provoking believers or tinkering with ancient philosophical questions in modern times is in the domain of your interest. But, Harris writes in a way that not only is openly against religion but also against everyone that glorifies it. When confronted by it people are provoked to face their philosophies on life and the world. ![]() It is an ancient question, but it still does the trick.

Interesting premise: In an alternate sci-fi world where humans (the book is generally Asian-centric and vaguely references some figures from Chinese history, but the world isn’t parsed into whether anyone other than Asians are still alive or ever existed in this universe) are at war with an alien species, boys get to pilot these giant mechs to fight the aliens.

Has an angry criminal enacted revenge on Vic? Or did he use the storm as a means to disappear? Claire follows the clues, finding old friends and making new enemies - foremost among them Andray Fairview, a young gang member who just might hold the key to the mystery. Claire is investigating the disappearance of Vic Willing, a prosecutor known for winning convictions in a homicide- plagued city. The tattooed, pot-smoking Claire has just arrived in post-Katrina New Orleans, the city she’s avoided since her mentor, Silette’s student Constance Darling, was murdered there. But Claire also uses her dreams, omens, and mind-expanding herbs to help her solve mysteries, and relies on Détection - the only book published by the late, great, and mysterious French detective Jacques Silette. She has brilliant deductive skills and is an ace at discovering evidence. ![]() Synopsis: Claire DeWitt is not your average private investigator. ![]() Published: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt June 2011 Title: Claire De Witt and the City of the Dead ![]() ![]() “Eli has created a chaotic, beautiful, grimy madhouse of the dead for Negan, Maggie, and fans of the show eager to discover an unseen and insane world of the TWD Universe,” franchise architect Scott Gimple said in a recent statement. Eli Jorné (“The Walking Dead”) has been set as the showrunner for “The Walking Dead: Dead City.” ![]() The six-episode spinoff series is set two years after the main show’s finale. “ Walking Dead: Dead City sees Maggie and Negan traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.” ![]() ![]() Up next, they’re traveling to New York City together… In the main show’s most shocking moment, Negan of course brutally murdered Maggie’s husband Glenn, but the two have surprisingly been able to work together in the wake of Negan becoming one of the good guys. “Dead City” is centered on Negan ( Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Maggie ( Lauren Cohan), two characters who have long been at odds with one another.

Managing to get to within a few kilometres of the Moon’s surface may sound like something of a pyrrhic victory, but it shows that most of the company’s engineering works. ![]() Quite why the spacecraft ran out of fuel a bit before the finish line is not clear. On the final journey from orbit to surface, though, its engine cut out a little too early and it plummeted to the surface. The spacecraft, launched last December, had performed nicely as it took a slow, energy efficient trajectory out to the Moon, inserted itself into orbit, and adjusted that orbit until it was circling at 100km just as intended. The latest pupils to walk out of one of her tests with only a new crater to show for it are the team at ispace, a Japanese company, which tried, and failed, to land HAKUTO-R Mission 1 on the edge of Mare Frigoris on April 25th. ![]() |
