INTRODUCTION King in the Birmingham city jail (University of Memphis Libraries) I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to “order” than to justice who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice ![]()

![]() However, every single death listed is of an alternate earth/universe/timeline Doctor Strange – zombies, Venoms, Neil Gaiman, and so on - or even a film Strange (like, the Benedict Cumberbatch version died in the Snappening) so if this is an actual death in the mainline 616 Marvel U, it could well be a first. Will this be the Sorcerer Supreme’s first death? CBR has a helpful list of 10 Times Doctor Strange Has Died, so no. Since then he’s co-starred in Strange Academy, a series by Skottie Young and Humberto Ramos about young magic users of the MCU training with more experienced sorcerers, in a story not at all influenced by other highly popular magic academy stories.īut with the eagerly awaited Sam Raimi directed Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness film coming out next year, interest in the character will be going up again, so it’s as good a time as any to kill him.

I love Avatar: The Last Airbender, but I’ve always had mixed feelings about an Asian-inspired fantasy show run by primarily non-Asian creators, and the way the Chinese language was used in the show as a shortcut for worldbuilding. Of course, going into The Rise of Kyoshi, my expectations were pretty high.įirst of all, I have to say, I’m really glad that the Avatar: The Last Airbender team went with an Asian American author for the series. The whole book is a fun and wild ride, and I highly recommend it. Yee’s debut novel The Epic Crush of Genie Lo ( review here and author interview here), which is a sort of modern take on Chinese mythology including such legendary figures as the Sun Wukong, Monkey King. Review: Full disclosure, I absolutely loved F.C. ![]() ![]() The first of two novels based on Kyoshi, The Rise of Kyoshi maps her journey from a girl of humble origins to the merciless pursuer of justice who is still feared and admired centuries after she became the Avatar. The longest-living Avatar in this beloved world’s history, Kyoshi established the brave and respected Kyoshi Warriors, but also founded the secretive Dai Li, which led to the corruption, decline, and fall of her own nation. Yee’s The Rise of Kyoshi delves into the story of Kyoshi, the Earth Kingdom–born Avatar. ![]() ![]() ![]() “To love a noble woman, to protect and serve her – this, he told the little boy, was the crown of life.” Our hero Maurice Hall goes for a walk with one of his teachers, and as he is soon departing into public school, the teacher thinks to do a little explaining of the birds and the bees to him: The first chapter is the only chapter set at prep school, but it sets the foundations for the novel just as such schools set the foundations for the lives of the rich and privileged the world over. ![]() ![]() I remember my own prep school days fondly, and as my school was of the traditional sort, I found in Maurice much to prompt a kind of déjà vu. It is about as cosy an environment as one could hope for. Maurice begins with prep school, the first stage of private education in England, which takes boys, and occasionally girls, and raises them from the age of about eight till they are thirteen. He hoped that once he was dead it would be possible to publish it he had his wish. Forster, author of Maurice, only showed the novel to a few trusted friends during his lifetime. ![]() ![]() ![]() Please note that as a progressive Christian sub, we are explicitly followers of Christ, as well as LGBTQ+ affirming, anti-racist, feminist, and egalitarian.

The Husband's Secret Little Lies/Big Little Lies What a disappointment, very much in the minority as regards to opinion, I found Truly, Madly Guilty, boring to the extreme. ![]() My Opinion: When I knew that this title was going to be a choice for Book Club, based on my previous enjoyment of this author's novels, I purchased a copy for my Kindle.

Magdalene Visaggio is the Eisner and GLAAD Media Award-nominated writer of Eternity Girl, Morning in America, and Kim & Kim, and a pretty solid rhythm guitarist. ![]() ![]() So I quite literally have no idea how I ended up with a lesbian romance set in a world populated with sprites, nymphs, goblins and the occasional fairy. ![]() I'm not queer, and I don't like fairies much. I rarely read romance, I don't much like erotica (although, the heat level on this is pretty low). But Rye is a poor builder's labourer with a teenage sister to raise, while Flora is a wealthy artist-celebrity with a tree-top condominium and a sporty, late-model flying carpet.īroken Wings is a soaring celebration of the power of love, family, and justice to triumph over intolerance, homophobia, and slavery." ![]() "When Rye Woods, a fairy, meets the beautiful dryad Flora Withe, her libido, as squashed and hidden as her wings, reawakens along with her heart.

Sometimes a girl just needs a really good work of historical fiction to ease her hectic life. Julie Hearn, author of The Minister's Daughter and The Sign of the Raven, has created a memorable tale of nineteenth-century England with a character destined to take her place alongside Dickens's Pip and Oliver Twist. And when treachery and jealousy surface in the Eden that is the artist's garden, Ivy must learn to be more than a pretty face if she is to survive. But behind Ivy's angelic looks lurk dark secrets and a troubled past - a past that has given her an unfortunate taste for laudanum. Oscar is determined to make his mark on the art world, with Ivy as his model and muse. Which makes her the perfect subject for an aspiring painter named Oscar Aretino Frosdick, a member of the pre-Raphaelite school of artists. It's more than beauty - and it draws people toward her. For Ivy has a quality that makes people take notice. But that's only if you look at her but don't see. The youngest in a family of thieves, scoundrels, and roustabouts, the girl with the flame-colored hair and odd-colored eyes is declared useless by her father from the day she is born. ![]() ![]() ![]() I do feel like my career has been defined by the things that I’ve passed on as much as the things that I’ve done.
