There is an understandable urge to compare this to The Stand. Nobody knows how or why, but by gorry they will try to get out.Ī dome descends on Springfield in The Simpsons Movie In the fictional town of Chester’s Mill, somewhere in King’s Maine Literary Universe, the titular dome has descended over the town. Which is probably the mood that King wanted us Constant Readers to be in when we first cracked open this massive satire of life in post-9/11 America. It’s become a bit of an odd-bird of a pop cultural touchstone, the kind that feels more like a setup to a punchline at times. (King, for the records, claims to have not heard of The Simpsons Movie plot at the time of publication and we can probably put it down to one of those happy coincidences).Įven people who haven’t read UNDER THE DOME, or seen the TV series of the same name, know what it is about. King had actually been playing with the idea since the late 1970s with the unpublished and unfinished novel The Cannibals, originally titled (you guessed it) Under the Dome. Yet the truth is not as clear-cut as all that. So, when UNDER THE DOME was published in 2009, many were quick to point out the similarities between that film and the plot of the movie and King’s novel. In The Simpsons Movie (2007), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) imprisoned Springfield under a giant glass dome. No matter what scenario you create in pop culture, The Simpsons got there first. It’s letters, um, from uh, Jasmine written to her son, but in it she gets into such amazing, uh, territory in this book.

This one was kind of the darling of the book world when it came out last year and after seeing it pop up one place after another, I saw it at the BYU Bookstore when we were visiting Utah last summer. I think you could probably read it a dozen times and find something new to love each time.Īnd Ella immediately wanted to read it again, so maybe I should start asking HER to write about the picture books since her taste is clearly more in line with those in the know. This book has SO many fun little details that I noticed more this time through. Moose, as you can imagine, is not pleased. But when it’s time for M, Zebra goes with “Mouse” instead. And Moose is just BESIDE himself anxiously waiting for M to come. Zebra is lining up all the animals and objects for an ABC show. It’s an alphabet book, but definitely with its own spin. When I saw it on the 2×2 list, I figured it was time to give it another chance.Īnd although it’s probably never going to be my favorite book, I did understand better why people love it so much. I read this book once to Ella back when it first started gaining devotees last summer, and I didn’t really get why people were so over the moon for it. This was a huge favorite to get a Caldecott nod and I know lots of people were disappointed it didn’t get any recognition. Z is for Mooseby Kelly Bingham and Paul O.

And it has absolutely nothing to do with the hot farmer she spent two incredible nights with. She returns to the last place she was happy: Lovelight Farms and the tiny town of Inglewild. When Evie disappears again, Beckett resolves to finally move on.īut Evie, who has been feeling disconnected from her work and increasingly dissatisfied with life online, is trying to find her way back to something real. He had no idea that the sweet and sexy woman he met at a bar is actually a global phenomenon. So when she suddenly appears on his farm as part of a social media contest, he is…confused. He’s not unfamiliar with hot and heavy flings, but Evie wove some sort of magic over him during their tumble in the sheets. In The Weeds is a standalone romance and is part of the Lovelight series. One incredible weekend in Maine, and he’s officially a man distracted. James isn’t the kind of woman you forget. A grumpy farmer and a no-nonsense social media influencer have another chance at love in this charming romantic comedy.Įvelyn St. And the author was able to achieve this without making the story sound boring or too predictable. The dialogue sounded sensible and normal, and the reactions and emotions of the characters are not at odds with their personalities. You can say that this is a lesbian version of Mad Men! Contrary to what happens to many books on this genre, this story seemed pretty plausible to me. Jessica is the head of a larger firm, and this brings an interesting dynamic in which our two heroines are competing for the same clients. They've been friends since college and they are partners on a small advertising firm. There's quite a cast of secondary characters, mostly Brooklyn's friends. Melissa Brayden has written a charming book with two wonderful, very down to earth characters, Brooklyn & Jessica, they both come across as normal people with virtues and flaws. I don't expect too much from these types of romances (let's face it we buy these novels as a way to escape and a to enjoy a quick guilty pleasure), so that's why I was so pleasantly surprised when I listened to this audiobook. Putting herself and her entire village at risk, Magda takes in the children, feeds them, and acquires Christian identification for them. They happen upon an old "witch", or healer, with a Gypsy background, named Magda. Mean stepmothers, dark forests, witches with massive ovens that want to cook and eat children?! Perhaps it is fitting, then, that Louise Murphy puts a clever spin on this fairy tale, and weaves it into a fictional and terrifying account of the survival of two Jewish children during the Holocaust.Ī 10-year-old girl and her 7 year-old brother, named "Hansel" and "Gretel" by their father and stepmother to disguise their Jewish heritage, are encouraged to run and hide in the ancient, primeval forests of Eastern Poland to escape capture by the Nazis. We've all read the story about Hansel and Gretel as children.
