I can’t give anything more away, but if you like sordid family dramas, check this out. Only Constance got any sympathy from me, but I had a feeling she was going to suffer in the end, too. His family didn’t help me though what a bunch of spiteful, entitled assholes. I knew better than to become emotionally connected to him or his cause. Then there’s James Norton and his bid to get back into his family’s good graces and claim his inheritance. Mostly, he’s a pawn and is used and abused pretty much the whole time. Ostensibly it’s for one reason, but Goddard is never so straightforward and I was just waiting for the truth. If you do like all those things along with a dash of the historical, I’m sure you’ll become an addict like me once you read one.Īs usual, one of the main characters is drawn into the plot indirectly and it is quite a while before we know precisely why. If you don’t like long, involved and convoluted plots with lots of characters (many not what they seem), shenanigans and the unexpected, don’t read him. Once you read one Goddard, you start to hunger for more.

Comprehensive data on the burden of late effects of childhood cancer or risk factors for late effects was not available, and so Switzerland set up the SCCSS to increase knowledge and improve the quality of care and follow-up. Since cancer and its treatments may later have adverse effects, it is important to track and improve survivor health and quality of life. This means that the population of long-term childhood cancer survivors is growing.

Or, maybe we can find that spark through a simple book that came from Matt Haig’s imagination and his own struggles. Maybe it’s a simple view of something beautiful, or a loved one, a new hobby, or if all else fails, try to just be grateful for another day. Burn them up on the altar of the past where they belong.Įven when life seems hard as granite and hopeless, try to find a spark. Nothing good ever comes of living in or with regrets. Each day, we have an opportunity to make the most of this one unique life. Life really is worth living and when we can, we should soak up every second, even the seemingly mundane ones. But, it’s easy to lose those feelings as we grow older. We all deserve to feel hope, happiness––peace. If you’ve ever felt the weight of depression and anxiety for any length of time, or if it’s begun to become normalized to your daily existence, then you should read The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. If the long shadows of depression, panic, and anxiety have never haunted your door, you’ll still most likely enjoy reading The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. At their best, those typed words on a page make us feel something. Some books take us on journeys, challenge our imaginations, change our beliefs, and sometimes give us hope in ourselves or humanity. Matt learns from Attean more than merely how to survive in the woods, and what begins as a resentful relationship soon turns into a friendship that, although awkward, is binding and true. When Matt finds himself living alone in his cabin without a gun and needing to gather provisions for his soon-to-arrive family for winter, he is forced to learn things all on his own, until one day an aged Indian convinces Matt to trade survival training for English lessons for his grandson, Attean, roughly Matt’s age. The Sign of the Beaver follows Matt, a boy of 13 who finds himself alone in the deep woods of Maine in the late 18th century, land which had been completely uninhabited by white men before him but which had served as the hunting grounds for the Beaver clan of Indians. While The Beaver did not offer as much character-building as I remember The Bronze Bow had done (as much of the protagonist as of the reader, mind you), I still enjoyed it for its simple plot structure and its emphasis on the topics of friendship, independence, and thinking for one’s self. That book became the first book I had ever re-read, so when I got a hold of The Sign of the Beaver, I was excited to see if it would have a similar impact on me, even though I am now no longer an early teen. I’m right proud of you.”įrom my early teen years, Elizabeth George Speare has been my favorite young adult author, specifically because of her book The Bronze Bow, an adventurous set in the time of Christ. “You’ve handled yourself like a man, Son. From berserk layouts to old school manga screen tones, this book has everything and it all works. It runs the gamut from wild colors to black and white, and turning from one page to the next I never knew what to expect. The art is as kinetic and energetic in places as FLCL. This post-apocalyptic tale has traits of superhero and manga comics, along with giant djinnes, monstrous criminals, magic, and high technology. But Awa and Mansour need to beat him to the top, to stop him from ruining the world. (Awa and Monsour are actually to blame for the situation - the pair stole a criminal lord’s powerful juju for Mbam, which allowed him to break into the tower.) Mbam sees himself as on a quest to restore order by replacing the wizard. Now Awa Kouyaté, last in a line of djeli guiding the rulers of Keita, is helping Mansour, the surviving heir to the Keita throne, race the holy man Mbam to the tower’s secrets.
