Throughout the series, she’s always watching, writing, and dreaming, even as she believes she’ll never get her own happily ever after. Everyone comes and goes, except for Penelope Featherington. She’s already left her mark on screen, but as a fan of Julia Quinn’s eight-novel Bridgerton book series, the show’s spicy source material, I know there’s so much more in store for her.Įach Bridgerton novel follows one of the eight Bridgertons as they meet their match, fall in love, and fade into the background, leaving the next sibling to their own devices for their own story. While most eyes and ears may have been on Anthony and Kate’s longing looks, sexy whispers, and that time he saw her bare knee, I found myself more interested in the B-plot surrounding Lady Whistledown herself, Penelope Featherington. Is that an instrumental arrangement of a modern pop song I hear? Yep, Bridgerton is back for Season 2.

Topdog underdog theater7/6/2023 Two men, blood-tied but needling opposites, flipsides of a shared trauma they know all too well. The title of the play is the dynamic we see before us. They are meaningfully named after both the iconic assassin and the iconic president. Lincoln is defined by Parks in her script as the topdog, Booth the underdog. Yet they remain yoked together, unable to separate, unable to bid farewell. They are Waiting for Godot’s Vladimir and Estragon, who want something to change-money to escape poverty, ambition to vault them somewhere new-who possibly want to say goodbye to one another, who are desperate to be somewhere else, who want to leave through that door. All we see of the men-bantering, being sweet, bickering, planning, dreaming, interrogating, infuriating, pacifying, angering-is in the room, with its one bed.

Us book david nicholls7/6/2023 While Douglas Petersen is a middle-aged biochemist with sensible tastes, his long-time wife Connie is a spontaneous and vivacious artist-type-Douglas’s complete opposite. In a much more benign way, that is also the central question at the heart of Us. On the very first page, when Nick Dunne contemplates what his wife, Amy, is thinking, he asks himself, “What have we done to each other?” Remember that while Gillian Flynn’s 2012 psychological thriller – and its David Fincher-directed big-screen adaptation – deals with crime and deception as much as it does with relationships, it also takes an in-depth look at the state of marriage and what years together can do to a couple. No, David Nicholls hasn’t waded into murder mystery territory. Or, at least, a happier, lighter, more well-adjusted version of Gone Girl. Yet once I got into Us, I wasn’t reminded of One Day, but instead of a different best-seller, one that also zeroes in on marriage: Gone Girl.

Dare You To by Katie McGarry7/6/2023 Ryan has to overcome the “dare” and the hurt he’s inflicted on Beth to get her to trust him and her love for him.īeth is from the wrong side of the tracks and has the attitude to go with it. He also has to fight to be his own person, making his own decisions. Ryan has to deal with his dysfunctional, yet perfect on the outside, family and figure out what he really wants. At first he doesn’t see anything past Beth’s hard exterior, but that’s OK ‘because she’s just a dare and he’ll never see her again, right? Wrong, Beth’s uncle brings her to Ryan’s small town to get her away from her mother. Then Ryan is dared to get Beth’s phone number and that’s when his life starts to change. All Ryan is focused on is making into the Pros and his dad is just as obsessed with it, so much that it’s not clear whose dream it really is at times. His dad acts as if his brother no longer exists and refuses to allow Ryan or his mother to have any contact with him. Ryan misses his brother and behind closed doors his parents’ true feelings for each other are let out. At least that’s how it all looks from the outside, but it doesn’t feel so perfect when you’re on the inside. Ryan is the star ball player for his High School and has the perfect family. It didn’t hurt that Beth lived in the city where I grew up and that I had friends from Ryan’s County. I was up way to late because I couldn’t put it down.

The prophets robert jones jr7/5/2023 The Prophets is a courageous book, unflinching in its examination of the most painful and most tender aspects of life and history. In this awe-inspiring debut, Robert Jones, Jr.,’s inventiveness with form and language is matched by his profound emotional acuity. Swirling around this powerful love story is a kaleidoscopic array of characters we enter the worlds and minds of the enslaved, the enslavers, the female kings and male wives in Kosongo territory in the ancestral homeland. Their passion for each other, the dignity they bestow on each other, the small world they create and protect together, forms the core of the book. But there is, at the center of The Prophets, amid the grief and horror, a refuge: the relationship between Isaiah and Samuel, two young men enslaved on the Mississippi plantation known as Empty. This is a devastating book, an evocation of and reckoning with the deep stain of slavery. In The Prophets, Robert Jones, Jr., nimbly navigates this delicate interplay between the epic and the microscopic, between historical crises and interpersonal ones. A surprising gesture, a subtle moment of duplicity, an unlikely flash of kindness, conjured so vividly that it haunts me long after I finish reading. Books that explore the deepest questions about life and love and death and history and identity-and that animate these questions by way of infinitesimal human interactions. I crave books that are simultaneously attentive to the big things and the little things.

Kulti free online read7/5/2023 “Nope.”Ī frown indented the crease between the head coach’s eyebrows as he looked around the room, waiting for someone to say something else.įresh words never came, and I could tell by the way his cheeks tightened that he didn’t understand why, either. When no one else responded to Gardner’s question, I shook my head and answered. ing in the corner of the room by the projection screen with his arms at his sides. The culprit behind the team’s weird behavior was the assistant coach stand. Spending so much time listening to others talk instead of actually playing was painful enough. Awkward and uncertain, every player sitting around the conference room simply watched and nodded. We all just sat there, listening to the coaching staff go over last-minute details regarding the upcoming season. I seriously doubted that the team photos with us standing by each other had anything to do with it, and Sheena hadn’t brought up anything else about releasing clips from the press conference I’d done with Gardner at the beginning of the season. No one except Grace had said a word over the last two hours. I’d been getting fewer and fewer messages about Eric and Kulti over the course of the last few weeks. You could take a bite out of the tension in the room. To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt: |
