![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Although I do not intend to recount Rokeya's biographical details here, I should stress the point right at the outset: Rokeya's life as a Muslim woman-lived courageously and even dangerously-illustrates nothing short of sustained struggles against religious bigotry, lack of education, shifting vectors and valences of colonialism, patriarchy affecting the practice of everyday life, and other forms and forces of oppression in colonial Bengal in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. But there are now several biographies of Rokeya and scores of books and articles on her. This means a certain misappropriation and depoliticization of her work as well. Indeed, Rokeya has by now been institutionalized, iconized, and, for that matter, even reified. The Rokeya Day in Bangladesh also falls on December 09. December 09 marks both the birth and death anniversaries of Rokeya Sakhawat Hossain (1880-1932). ![]() ![]() The diabolical, cunning, and menacing Mojo is the most memorable villain from the animated Powerpuff Girls show who is still popular to this day, evidenced by the new fan art, so it only makes sense their archenemy would reappear in the live-action reboot. It is every bit as entertaining and suspenseful as its predecessor The Vanished Bride. According to creator Craig McCracken, the reboot hasn't progressed very far in development, though he did confirm that Mojo Jojo will appear in the live-action Powerpuff Girls show. The Diabolical Bones is the excellent second book in the Bronte Mysteries series.

The pilot episode's cast also included Donald Faison, Nicholas Podany, Robyn Lively, and original narrator Tom Kenny. ![]() In 2021, a live-action Powerpuff Girls reboot show was officially ordered at The CW starring Chloe Bennet, Dove Cameron, and Yana Perrault as grown-up versions of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup.

Thank you immensely to TBR and Beyond Tours, author Gail D. Villanueva that asks whether it’s ever okay to take away someone’s free will.

Wright wanted to call the book American Hunger, a resonant title that suggests not just the hunger that African Americans have felt to belong to their country but also the hunger with which America has devoured them. Amazing that Wright survived not just that errant moment but his childhood at all. In the first pages of his autobiography, Wright, a bored four-year-old, almost burns his grandmother’s house down, and the rest of the book is seldom less incendiary. ![]() Richard Wright, Black Boy (American Hunger) (1945/1991) ![]() ![]() Out East is the portrait of a summer, of The Hive and the people who lived in it, and John's own reckoning with a half-formed sense of self.

In 2013, John Glynn joined the share house. Against the moonlight the house's octagonal roof resembled a bee's nest. The house was a ramshackle split-level set on a hill, and each summer thirty-one people would sleep between its thin walls and shag carpets. They call Montauk the end of the world, a spit of land jutting into the Atlantic. An "extraordinary" debut memoir of first love, identity, and self-discovery among a group of friends who became family in a Montauk summer house (Andrew Solomon, National Book Award winner). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Cesare feeds off of this to create a story that fits the Kettle Springs and Frendo storyline with a chilling level of perfection. It’s a scary reality both in the real world and on paper. The basis for this story is different than the first, with the use of real world events backing the frenzy that online fanantical groups can build. Just like with the first book, Clown in a Cornfield 2 is filled with tense and action-packed moments where you’re not sure what’s going to happen to the characters and who’s going to make it out alive. It was really hard to hold onto this one until October, but it was the perfect time to read it! Because when the truth gets lost in the lies, that’s when people start to die.Ĭlown in a Cornfield was in my top 5 reads for 2021 and I instantly pre-ordered the sequel when it became available. Her only option is to go back into the cornfields, back where the nightmare began, to set the record straight the only way she knows how. It’s a deranged but relentless fantasy, and there’s nothing Quinn can do to get people to hear the truth-not even on her own campus or in her own dorm room. But instead, Quinn finds that her past won’t leave her alone when she becomes the focus of online conspiracy theories that claim the Kettle Springs Massacre never happened. ![]() CLOWN IN A CORNFIELD 2: FRENDO LIVES | Adam CesareīEWARE OF SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN’T READ BOOK 1!Īfter barely making it out of the Kettle Springs cornfields alive, Quinn’s first year away at college should be safe and easy. ![]() |
