I went into ‘Carry On, Jeeves’ expecting old-fashioned writing, but I was wrong, it was a really funny book. P.G. Wodehouse makes a big deal out of trivial situations and makes them seem like the end of the world. He even makes the stilted conversation between Bertie and Jeeves sound funny. The situations where Bertie gets into trouble are pretty predictable, but that is part of the fun. This isn’t a book with deep themes and messages. It’s just a nice little book were the biggest crisis is whether or not to wear a bright pink tie to dinner. It’s a good read for someone who appreciates humor, especially one that is ironic and understated.

I just noticed that the framing of the question presumes that we are referring to a single list of books rather than a collection of lists. “The books New York Times best sellers list” is kind of a joke. In reality, there are many lists of best sellers and they are multiplying. But yes, they are all updated on a weekly cycle and are a vain attempt to organize the unorganizable. And then try to determine what people are actually reading and loving.

Does Juice Newton get paid every time Deadpool is shown/played and she thinks to herself “Deadpool again?” Her song has served a second life that I think she would find quite intriguing to see how it has transcended the album it was written for.
You can map out the high points of our pop culture to the times this song appeared in a scene: the indie drama of the 1990s, the teen soap of the 2000s, the ironic superhero of the 2010s, the current state of nostalgia as a fully formed industrial complex. That the song is about a secret goodbye is sort of wonderful given this.

I’ve been following the New York Times Best Sellers list for years, and it’s always been a weekly update. Every Wednesday, the list refreshes with the latest rankings based on sales data from the previous week. It’s fascinating to see how books move up and down, especially when a new release makes a big splash. The list covers various categories like fiction, nonfiction, and children’s books, so there’s always something new to discover. I often use it as a guide for my next read, and the weekly updates keep it exciting and relevant. It’s a great way to stay in the loop with what’s trending in the literary world.

Dew in stories? That’s nature’s sticky note. The tiny, ephemeral stuff is full of meaning. I think kids’ books use dew a lot to show wonder – e.g. Wilbur’s web sparkling in the early morning sun in ‘Charlotte’s Web’. Horror stories on the other hand can make dew seem sinister, damp and frightening. This is all about perspective. A farmer might look at dew and see promise of future crops. A heartbroken hero might look at the same dew and see all his lost love disappearing before his eyes. Dew is magic because it can mean whatever you like it to mean without explanation.

Typically, a journal’s average time to rejection is around 3-4 months. Acceptance or a request for revisions might occur within a month or so, but not by an enormous margin. Note that most journals do not practice simultaneous submissions, so your story will be held for that lengthy amount of time. Does your story have sufficient merit to be removed from the market for three months? For some writers, the journal’s reputation will be well worth the wait. For others, however, it may present too great of a strategic challenge, particularly when trying to quickly accumulate a list of published works.

I just finished reading ‘Death at Morning House’ – a superb mystery novel that hooked me from the start. It’s set in and around Morning House, a large and rather eerie house with a dark history, owned by the very wealthy and rather unpopular Mr. Holloway of the Holloway family. When he is found dead in rather strange circumstances, young and recently appointed detective Clara Reeves is sent for. And from the very first chapter, I was hooked. As Clara delves deeper into the mystery of the death of the patriarch of the Holloway family, she realises that nothing is as it seems. The house itself seems to be a character in the story and it has hidden passages and secret rooms, creaking floorboards and more than a few dark secrets. And as for the Holloway family, well it seems that each and every one of them is hiding secrets of their own. But are these secrets human or is Morning House really haunted by the spirits of the past?
Throughout the novel Reeves uncovers the web of deceit, long-standing grudges and twisted relationships that exist within the Holloway family. The way in which the author creates claustrophobia as a raging storm hits is incredible. Reeves is left to deal with the family trapped inside the crumbling mansion and it makes for tense reading as Reeves makes mistakes along the way and we are led down many a red herring. In the end the author delivers a satisfying solution but it leaves you with the feeling that Morning House still holds many secrets and the author has done a great job of delivering a gothic style mystery that will appeal to fans of the style. A great read.

Nixon’s the answer but why did he get that kind of coverage? Fifty-five covers of the President showed the spectacle of his career from the Checkers speeches to the White House tapes. The man who detested the press became the press’ cash cow.

First off, the cover art for this novel is simply delightful. I had an idea of what kind of story this would be, based on the artwork. Sweet, a little bit silly, with lots of steamy romance. This novel was exactly that, and so much more. The sex scenes in this novel were as warm and fun to read as the rest of the book. They were never trite or boring, and they had just the right amount of playfulness to them to keep things from getting too serious or hot. I loved this novel because it was so much fun to read. The author never took himself too seriously, but he did take his characters’ feelings very seriously, which was great.

To locate this book, go to the author’s Goodreads page. On that page, you will find links to purchase the book in most formats as well as places to download for free (note: I avoid-downloading books from random websites as they can harbor malware and be poorly formatted). This is a pleasantly, utterly uncompromising book. It is what it is and never attempts to be anything more. The romance hero is a big, gentle guy who is anxious and a little reserved, a nice contrast to his physical size. His dialog is rarely smooth or attractive but is instead awkward, sweet, and real.
A connection focused story which just happens to be full of passion. A very comforting read that is refreshingly different from most other books.
