![]() ![]() Highly recommended for those that are interested in this time and place in history in Genghis himself or in military history. I rarely buy books for myself, because I have so many already and have such constant access to galleys that it isn’t necessary yet now and then, there’s a book I’ve gotta have, and that’s how I feel about this series. ![]() By the halfway point, however, my mind had changed completely! I found myself online doing image searches for the housing, clothing, and other parts of the nomadic life. I wasn’t even sure if I would read the rest of the series. The second in the bestselling new Conqueror series on Genghis. The first two or three chapters seemed fine, but not great. The brand new novel from the No.1 bestselling author of Emperor, his series on Julius Caesar. ![]() We have a nonfiction tome, but it’s the sort of slog one only undergoes out of desperation, or as assigned coursework. I wanted to read this series, or at least the first entry, because although I have read at least something about most of the greatest warriors in the world over time, I had read nothing about Genghis. I figure Mongols know how the name should be pronounced, so I have begun to pronounce it that way, too. One thing I learned in discussion with my spouse, who is a Japanese citizen, is that whereas we from Western cultures pronounce the warrior’s name with a hard G, Asians–including the Mongolian culture from which the Khan emerged–pronounce it softly, like a J. How much do any of us know about Genghis Khan? ![]() ![]() It doesn't take long for their act to bring all those other funny feelings out into the open, and, like most matters of the heart, it quickly begins to feel like anything but a joke. ![]() This friendship is the only reason why, when the biggest opportunity of Farley's career includes thrusting him back into the spotlight to stir up publicity, he agrees-in spite of his grumpiness, his protectiveness over Hazel, and his disdain for public attention.

Hailing from a faraway island, it was only a matter of time before he began creating imaginary friends and writing down their adventures.

In 2015 I was able to wean off Paxil, and a year later my reading skyrocketed. ![]() I skipped one year (2013), when my reading dropped to almost nothing.

I am Anita Meulstee (60), married with Frank (61) since 1984. ![]() ![]() Especially since much of the dialogue is spent on debates between newscasters. ![]() This makes for a slow read that feels like a chore at times. The 16 panels also means there’s more reading than you get in a typical 6-panel graphic novel. Most pages are divided into 16 panels which gives little room for artwork and sometimes makes it difficult to tell what’s going on. The artwork isn’t as impressive as you’ll find in comics today, but that’s to be expected. Batman scares criminals so much, the crime rate actually goes down as a result. In this world, his approach actually works. He stops short of killing them, but he does enjoy causing serious injury. One of this Batman’s chief reasons for fighting crime is he derives pleasure from frightening criminals and making them feel pain, so he’s a bit of a sadist. We also learn the reason Batman wears a bright yellow symbol on his chest is so criminals will aim for where his armor is, rather than his face. This is a return to a darker, grittier Batman. Before this, Batman was best known from Adam West’s campy portrayal in the 1960s television series. ![]() This comic was considered revolutionary for its time. However, without Batman, crime in Gotham skyrockets, so he decides to dawn the bat costume once again, despite now being in his 50s.

This tale of Emily's life the first several years at New Moon Farm is charming and Emily is, in her own way, as appealing a little miss as Anne, writing poetry and novels (her worry about how to spring one of her characters from a convent, not being Catholic herself and so not quite certain of the rules governing convents, is quite funny) and giving her heart to those who will only love her back. Emily and her Aunt Elizabeth get off on the wrong foot as Emily knows she is simply a duty to Elizabeth, not a dearly beloved niece but there is hope in the shape of Aunt Laura and Cousin Jimmy. ![]() After his death, her mother's estranged relatives come to collect her and draw straws to see which of them will have to take her, they being the Murrays and always concerned with doing the proper thing as a result of their pride. Never having gone to school and having had her mother die when she was very small, her father has been Emily's whole world. The book opens with Emily being told, rather brutally, that her father is dying. ![]() Anne of Green Gables will always own my heart with her flights of fancy but Emily of New Moon can have a sliver of it too, showing that Montgomery could write more than one charming young girl series. ![]() |
