There are secrets yet undiscovered in the foundations of the notorious Crowder House. He insists that he isn't the one leaving notes around the house in her father's handwriting. A parasitic artist has moved into the guest house out back and is slowly stripping Vera's childhood for spare parts. Still a great read though In Just Like Home, Vera. Just Like Home, though, is the first book I’ve ready by them that I’d describe as flat-out creepy and occasionally pretty gross. Back to face the love she had for her father and the bodies he buried there, beneath the house he'd built for his family.Ĭoming home is hard enough for Vera, and to make things worse, she and her mother aren't alone. Sarah Gailey’s books are always a little bit out-there, full of surprises and strange situations and characters who take some time to truly get. In spite of their long estrangement, in spite of the memories - she's come back to the home of a serial killer. "Come home." Vera's mother called and Vera obeyed. Just Like Home is a darkly gothic thriller from nationally bestselling author Sarah Gailey, perfect for fans of Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House as well as HBO's true crime masterpiece I'll Be Gone in the Dark. I grabbed this one mostly because the cover art reminded me of the cover art for 'The High King's Golden Tongue' but this one surpassed that one on my favorite books list for several reasons! This is not the first book by this author where the characters have arranged marriage, and find respect and love in it - this however is the first book where while I completely believe that the men are suited to each other and I am sure became good friends, I just did not feel much chemistry from them. It is well done, fast paced, makes you glued to the pages, but I am kind of puzzled about romance. I guess the book is technically a fantasy, because the world is fictitious and there are dragons present as pets in one of the countries, but otherwise I would just characterize it as a political thriller with a love story thrown in and be done with it. It made sense of course, because political games, betrayal, terrorism are at the front and center of the plot and I think this is the first book by this author where politics felt so merciless and cold and that is why so real to me. I expected to see the pragmatic characters who rarely wallow in self pity despite dealing with tough circumstances (and if they are at a breaking point for a page or so, you can be assured that there is a very good reason for that), but boy I did not expect to see them being *that* pragmatic. I buy pretty much every novel by this author, so I had to get this one. Tuchman dramatizes the diplomatic debacles that precipitated the war and the intransigence of the German and French armies as they dogmatically adhered to their battle plans, with disastrous consequences. Nowhere are her talents more brilliantly on display than in her Pulitzer Prize–winning bestseller The Guns of August (1962), a riveting account of the outbreak of World War I and the weeks of fighting leading up to the First Battle of the Marne in September 1914. A shrewd portraitist, she laid bare the all-too-human failures of leaders caught in the pull of historical currents and often tragically blinded by biases of culture and temperament. Tuchman distilled the complex interplay of personalities and events into gripping narratives that combine lucid scholarship with elegant literary art. One of the best-known historians of her time, Barbara W. She believes in cooking vegetables until they are limp, but not lifeless. He reported: "Marcella Hazan's cooking is traditional Italian - nothing nouveau. Everything was not natural." NPR's Scott Simon had visited Hazan in 2005 while she was teaching at the French Culinary Institute in Manhattan. And at the supermarket they were very dead. "The chicken, they were arriving from the farmer and they were alive. "I never saw a supermarket in Italy," she told NPR's Linda Wertheimer in a 2010 interview. A scientist by training, she began cooking after moving to the United States and finding that much American food was sold prepackaged at the supermarket. Marcella Hazan, the author of bestselling cookbooks that brought Italian food to America, died Sunday at age 89. Marcella Hazan and her husband, Victor, in the kitchen of their home in Longboat Key, Fla. The men in Kitty’s life are complex as she is, and sexual tensions run high. TJ, a gay werewolf and a close ally in her pack, is another reflection of the dichotomy in Kitty’s own soul and a running theme through the series.

Along with character sketches, Preston delves into the moral complexities that can arise in disease research, in this case when an apparent miracle cure-dubbed wow “because everybody was typing Wow in their emails”-yields amazing results in monkeys and the researchers must decide whether to experiment with its efficacy for humans. They include Lisa Hensley, an American researcher and single mother who chooses to travel to Africa to offer what help she can, and Humarr Khan, a physician who, even before the Ebola outbreak, had already decided to stay in his native Sierra Leone and fight Lassa, another virus endemic in West Africa, rather than pursue a lucrative American career. He leavens the subject’s essential grimness with inspiring portrayals of men and women who risked, and sometimes lost, their lives battling the virus’s resurgence in West Africa in 20. Preston follows up his 1994 book The Hot Zone with another terrifying real-life thriller about the threat of viruses-in this case, Ebola.
