![]() ![]() When you discover that the author was Grant Morrison (it was his first on-going series for a major publication) it becomes more understandable. ![]() ![]() So what exactly is Zenith? Well it's a 1987, "post Marvelman" superhero story played relatively straight which found itself a home in 2000AD, a UK anthology comic not noted for playing host to superheroes. Anyway, it's nice to have it in a swish hardcover that keeps the pages the same size as the original which as I pointed out in my look at DR and Quinch really makes the art pop in a way the reduced sized reprints seem to lack somehow. Actually I could have read it anytime, I own all the 2000AD progs with Zenith Phases 1, 2 and 3 in them but I am a lazy fuck and actually accessing them would require totally rearranging half my bedroom. But a year passed, and Phase One finally found it's way into my eager hands as a birthday gift pretty much a week after it's release. "Joy" I think to myself, "those will make perfect gifts for moi" then I noticed the dates attached were 2014 for Phases 1 and for Phase 3 *sad trombone*. Around this time last year (2013) I was browsing Amazon for gifts I'd like for Christmas and discovered that Phase's 1 to 3 had all been given release dates finally after a long time in rights hell. I've been waiting a long time for this collection. "See? What did I tell you? Never trust a hippy." - Zenith ![]()

![]() ![]() She also falls for softspoken Bill Steiner, the shop's young pawn-dealer, who courts her on his motorcycle and opens her to new worlds. In a far-away hockshop, Rose trades her engagement ring for a mystery-ridden painting of a woman in a crimson (rose-madder) chiton with her back to the viewer (one thinks of Wyeth's Christina's World), which she hangs in a new apartment found for her by the Daughters and Sisters, a battered women's group. But Daniels's job is finding people, and as a biter he's even more bent than the wife-beating police-chief in Nelson DeMille's Spencerville like his, Daniels's verbal rage allows no range to monolithic villainy. After 14 years of marriage to biter and wife-beater Detective Norman Daniels, Rose McLendon Daniels steals her husband's ATM card and runs off to another city. Still, this one may find King hitting the ball not just out of the park but around the globe. King's 30th novel (Insomnia, 1994, etc.) gets off to a careful, grand start but quickly turns to a half-pound of story to five pounds of stuffing, or tedium triumphant. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is free download The Knight at Dawn (Magic Tree House, #2) by Mary Pope Osborne complete book soft copy.

So much happens in this book, there are so many nuances and twists and turns that I feel the description I gave above just cannot do it justice. Luckily I got used to the creepiness of this amazing story and by then I just couldn’t put it down anymore. It was so creepy that I couldn’t handle it (but I do have a phobia of ghosts so it was probably my own fault) and couldn’t read it at night or i wouldn’t sleep. Honestly, at first I was close to putting it down because it was so good. With a spirit inside her she has to escape the grasp of her father’s powerful ancestors, all in the middle of a war torn country. Makepeace has had to learn from a young age to defend herself against these spirits, but one dreadful event causes her to drop her guard. ![]() Some people have enough space within them for an extra spirit. Sometimes, when a person dies, their spirit goes looking for somewhere to hide. “Makepeace did not know who the ‘others’ might be, but others were always a threat.” ![]() ![]() We are sure that this e-book will give real pleasure to all the lovers of good painting. ![]() His work is represented in French museums, notably Angers, Geneva ( Petit Palais ), Lille ( Muse des Beaux-Arts ), Nantes, and Paris ( Muse d’Orsay ).

Henri Lebasque (25 September 1865 7 August 1937) was a French post-impressionist painter. There are about 250 best works of the artist and also a new unique video In this electronic book. Matisse is one of the continuers of the impressionism style. Refined artistic means, coloristic harmonies, combining bright contrasting consonances, seem to call the contemplator of these works to enjoy the sensual beauty of the world. His style is distinguished by the flexibility of lines, sometimes intermittent, then rounded, conveying a variety of silhouettes and outlines, moods and motifs. The world of Matisse is a world of dances and pastors, beautiful vases, juicy fruits, greenhouse plants, carpets and variegated fabrics, bronze figurines and endless landscapes. ![]() ![]() Henri Matisse is an outstanding French artist, the leader of the current of the Fauvists - is known for his masterful transfer in the color of exquisite emotions and feelings. In 1885, at the age of twenty, he was declared unfit for service due to his rheumatism, which he suffered all his life, and moved to. ![]() After attending secondary school in Angers, he enrolled at the École des Beaux Arts in the same town, as his passion for art began to show very early on.

Depression is considered abnormal, and people who suffer from it are picked apart and told they need to "suck it up." I suffer from depression, and one of the hardest parts about the disease is the stigma that comes with it. That's an alarming number no matter the age, but the fact that these numbers concern a group of people who have barely begun to see what life has to offer makes it even sadder. According to Mental Health America, depression in teens is rising at an alarming rate, and every year more than 5,000 people between the ages of 15 to 24 commit suicide. ![]() One of the toughest issues teen face today is depression. I love YA novels, especially young adult books that tackle tough subjects. ![]() ![]() ![]() The novel successfully explicates the magnitude of the human trafficking business, the complexities of international legalities, and the impact of the Internet’s role in this horrifying underworld. ![]() In addition to Ahalya and Sita’s timely story, Addison’s portrait of Thomas and Priya’s tenuous relationship skillfully reveals the difficulty of inter-cultural marriage. A Walk Across the Sun - Corban Addison An unforgettable journey into the underworld of modern-day slavery, A Walk Across the Sun begins on December 26, 2004, as seventeen-year-old Ahalya Ghai and her younger sister, Sita, are walking on the beach outside their home in Chennai, India. When CASE comes to rescue Ahalya, the sisters are separated, and Sita must go to Paris (and later, America) as a drug mule, as her owners try to elude their pursuers. He ends up in Mumbai working for CASE (Coalition Against Sexual Exploitation). Assuming the blame for a headline-grabbing legal debacle, Thomas accepts his firm’s offer to take a paid sabbatical and work on a pro bono case overseas. His wife, Priya, returns to her family in India when her grandmother dies, Thomas’s demanding legal career and the SIDS death of their infant daughter having taken their toll. Meanwhile, D.C.-based attorney Thomas Clarke faces marital and career crises. ![]() ![]() After a tsunami in India tragically orphans 17-year old Ahalya Ghai and her 15-year-old sister, Sita, the girls are kidnapped and taken to a Mumbai brothel where their nightmare begins. In his debut novel, lawyer Addison uncovers the labyrinthine underside of human trafficking in this dazzling transcontinental story about the power of conviction, the bonds of family, and the tenacity of love. ![]() ![]() Out of such dismal circumstances grows a tradition of dinner with Ramsey on his birthday, even after Jude divorces him. Lawrence is fascinated by Ramsey's fame, and Jude is desperate to avoid spending Ramsey's birthday alone with him. They are not-quite-friends with a more volatile couple, Jude (a children's book author who works with Irina) and her husband Ramsey, a professional snooker player. They have a fugal, predictable, comfortable life that isn't bad, exactly, but lacks any crackle of passion. Irina McGovern is a children's book illustrator living in London with her long-term partner Lawrence Trainer, who himself works in a think tank specializing in terrorism. While it is unfair to ask for a second We Need To Talk About Kevin, this book needed a little of that novel's passion. ![]() This is an intellectually interesting book that never quite engages the emotions. ![]() ![]() ![]() "Fall" is also in near fine condition with only light rubbing to the edges and very mild foxing to the pages, else fine housed in a superb near fine (not pc) dust jacket that shows only slight rubbing to the edges, basically a pristine jacket. "Hyperion" is in near fine condition with a square, tight binding, bright gold lettering over black boards, and clean pages throughout the book does show moderate foxing to the page edges and text block, and some light shelf wear to the edges housed in a crisp and clean price clipped dust jacket that shows only slight rubbing to the edges, else fine. An excellent set of these 2 novels, "Hyperion" being a Hugo and Locus award winning novel scarce in this condition, particularly signed. SIGNED by the author, "Hyperion" flat signed to the title page, "Fall" with a laid in signed card. ![]() ![]() First UK Edition/First Printings with the complete number lines Both books Near Fine in Near Fine dust jackets. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The “too hot for teens” refers to Eleanor and Park going to second base… and then making a mutual decision not to run for home. ![]() The “dangerously obscene” refers to the foul language Eleanor and Park experience in the form of bullying at school, and in Eleanor’s case, also at home. And the Asian character isn’t a Long-Duk-Dong providing racist comedic relief, he’s our sexy, nerdy, awesome romantic lead. Except Molly Ringwald is overweight and comes from an abusive home. The novel follows the two eponymous outcast teens (not sexy-brooding-probably-vampires outcast teens, REAL-awkward-uncomfortable-in-their-own-skin outcast teens) who fall in love in mid-’80’s Nebraska. If you’re plugged into the bookosphere, by now you may have heard of the craziness that is Rainbow Rowell being uninvited to speak at Minnesota’s Anoka-Hennepin school, after members of the district’s Parents Action League deemed the Rowell’s breakout YA novel Eleanor & Park “dangerously obscene.” The”too hot for teens and taxpayer money” novel was ordered off school library shelves and there was a call to discipline the school librarians who chose the book. ![]() |
