The BIBLY Awards are awarded annually by the Queensland Branch of the Children’s Book Council of Australia. Jurassic Park, the first book in the series was award the Secondary BILBY Award. The Lost World ended up being the only sequel to one of his novels that Michael Crichton ever wrote. Of course, if you’ve read both or see both movies you know that similarities pretty end there. Both stories feature an expedition to an isolated island where dinosaurs roam. The Lost World title is an homage to Arthur Conan Doyle‘s novel of the same name that he used as an inspiration for this story. It was also difficult him because he didn’t need to explain the scientific probability of such a situation since he did that in the first one and this one was more action than he may have been used to. Crichton eventually decided to do it and had a lot of trouble with it structurally as he tried to make it similar to the first book without just re-writing the first book. After the success of the Jurassic Park film, Crichton had a new fan interested in making a sequel: Steven Spielberg. He had never written a sequel to any of his novels before and was hesitant to do so. When Jurassic Park was received so well as a book, many fans began lobbying Michael Crichton for a sequel.

In her latestĬrake, Atwood presents another memorable world, and takes on theĬhallenges of genetic experiments, corporate imperialism, the values conveyedīy games and media, and the steady progress of one misstep after another.Ītwood herself shows no missteps. In one of my favorite early novels, The Handmaid’s Tale. For Marty’s story, being gay plays a critical role in the book, but being queer wasn’t made a *defining* feature for the rest of the characters. I think the majority of the cast is queer. On that note, Stamper’s sophomore novel is very! very! queer (no surprise). Besides Marty’s relationship with his parents, toxic friendships-and romantic relationships-are further discussed, which I have not seen a lot of in YA. Marty’s parents are Christian, so As Far As You’ll Take Me does confront the tension between Christianity and being queer (in Marty’s case, being gay). He wants out of Kentucky and the homophobia he’s suffocating. What Marty wants to make sure is they will never realize that he never got into that program. He travels to London to supposedly go to a music summer program (in the eyes of his parents back in Kentucky). My first reaction when I reached the end was “aww that was a good book.” What really stood out to me was the musical elements, as Marty-the protagonist-is an oboist. Luckily, As Far As You’ll Take Me exceeded my expectations in pretty much every single way. I think I finished this book in about two days? The very (very) general premise reminded me of How It All Blew Up, which if you read my review, I wasn’t the biggest fan of. *Note: I received an ARC of this title from Phil Stamper’s literary agent. Content Warnings: panic attacks, emotional and verbal abuse, homophobia, disordered eating, anxiety, forced outing To me, coming from a non-monochrome and mixed background is the norm. Then I moved to the UK and married my husband, who is half-Sudanese and half-British. During my childhood in Sudan, I was influenced by a country, the culture of which is in a constant struggle between being African and Arab. I grew up in a house filled with differences, even though both of my parents were Muslims, Arab and African. My mother is Egyptian, my father Sudanese. From a storytelling perspective, such complexity can be quite challenging. In "Minaret", readers are confronted with complex characters whose identity along the lines of class, gender and religiousness is challenged and formed over time and space. In-betweenness and identity formation are two recurrent themes of your work.

Sometimes it sends him to the brink of madness, making him do things he shouldn’t-things well beyond the limits of the law.Įdgar Award-winning writer Neil Cross has created one of the most compelling characters in modern crime fiction-a man who may be a force for good, or hell-bent on self-destruction. He seethes with a hidden fury that at times he can barely control. And yet there are rumors that Luther is bad-not corrupt, not on the take, but tormented. Nobody who ever stood at his side has a bad word to say about him. He’s obsessive, instinctive, and intense. He’s a murder detective with an extraordinary case clearance rate. It is the story of the case that tore his personal and professional relationships apart and propelled him over the precipice.
