I was a 17-year-old boy ready to try anything that altered the pre-established order," he writes. "It wasn't much fun and it did not make me feel especially happy as it seemed to do to everyone else, but it did make me feel different, and that was my main objective. Prince Harry says that when he was 17 he was offered a line of cocaine at someone's house and consumed the drug on several other occasions, although he insists media reports suggesting he was a drug addict were false and that he did not enjoy it. Here are some of the most controversial passages: Drugs The book was due to be published on January 10, but the Guardian newspaper printed leaked extracts overnight on Thursday, while Spanish-language versions of the book went on sale early in Spain. ![]() Prince Harry’s forthcoming memoir Spare has not even been officially released, but damning revelations have already begun leaking. ![]() ![]() They weren’t 53-year-old properties like Margaret. But Crawdads was a four-year-old bestseller, and Five Feet Apart just a year old before going theatrical. You can’t say that there’s no place for female- skewing movies based on bestsellers: Sony’s Where the Crawdads Sing, in the midst of a very competitive summer, busted through with a $17.2M opening, $90.2M stateside take, and near $75M in profit - and that was off bad reviews! Then there was Lionsgate’s Five Feet Apart (released in 2019), which opened to $13.1M off bad reviews and legged out to just over $45M. Those few who came out and gave the picture great exits were the noisiest on social, but at a low wattage, as the pic only had a social media reach of 66.1M across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, per RelishMix. ![]() Despite excellent reviews at 99%, an A CinemaScore, and great PostTrak of 4 1/2 stars and 88% positive, there’s no urgency for the first big screen take of a Judy Blume novel. ![]() Photo Credit: Dana Hawley Lionsgateĭiving into the numbers this AM, oy, Margaret.

These notes for Hades will eventually be one part of James Joyce's Ulysses in Hypermedia. These notes are intended for all audiences: the boldface entries will be most helpful to beginning readers the "regular" type entries are directed toward intermediate readers, and the italicized entries are for dedicated scholars and advanced Joyceans. Organized by line numbers in Gabler's 1986 Random House Corrected Text, (1) they provide definitions, annotations, and critical comments by Gifford, Thornton, Ellmann, Benstock, Senn, Johnson, Kiberd, and other editors and scholars countless critics have contributed explications of specific passages and details. The following notes for the Hades episode of Joyce's Ulysses aim to be as comprehensive and useful as possible. ![]() ![]() ![]() Alison’s sister Hermione is horrified when she learns that Queenie was buried with a locket containing a lock of Rowan’s hair, and she wants to exhume the body and reclaim the locket. The relief that Rowan’s mother Alison feels, however, quickly turns to discomfort. Queenie, the matriarch of the family, had been cruel and abusive to her daughters, and had set her attention upon her 11-year-old granddaughter Rowan just before her death. When Queenie passes away of old age, the Faraday family involuntarily breathes a sigh of relief. Though not all of his novels follow quite the same pattern, The Influence is a perfect example of this style, and a great tale of slowly encroaching horror. His stories are about the thing that moves out of the corner of your eye, that figure you think you see outside your window that may have just been a tree after all, that feeling you have when you’re sure you closed the basement door, but it is somehow open nevertheless. ![]() ![]() If you’re unfamiliar with Campbell’s work, he is a master of establishing an atmosphere of creeping dread. At the end of 2019, Flame Tree Press released a new edition of one of Campbell’s classic novels from 1988, The Influence. I’ve been trying to get together enough focus to start reading fiction regularly again, and there was no better way to spark that interest and begin 2020 than by reading one of my favorite authors of all time, Ramsey Campbell. ![]() ![]() ![]() Those would be interesting topics to explore, but instead Straub treats Charles like a heterosexual woman desperate to have a baby. That would be fine, but its hardly explored, nor is the idea of what marriage means to gay men, how it affects them and their families, how same-sex marriage might change heterosexual marriage, etc. But they get the least amount of pages and even then the focus is on their having a kid. The book's only novel characters are Charles and Lawrence, an older married gay couple who want to adopt a baby. ![]() Older son is a screw up living with an older woman he doesn't love so he cheats on her in order to end the relationship. Younger daughter is a surly virgin who hates everyone and thinks she'll be ugly forever. He feels bad and waits around to see if she'll forgive him. Husband has cheated on wife who has kind of let herself go. The plot was boring with the various storylines being mostly very well-trod ground done better by other books. The writing was perfectly fine, if nothing special, but the story itself was so. Mass hallucination? Bribery? All the critics were friends of the writer? I don't know what else would explain this book being anointed this summer's must read. After reading it, I can only shake my head in wonder and ask why. It had glowing reviews and seemed to be on every summer reading list. I'm referring to the critical reaction to The Vacationers. I'm not referring to the book itself, which had a minimal plot that was very easy to follow. ![]() I confess to being utterly baffled by this book. ![]() ![]() Both parents were intellectuals and progressive educators, but were stingy not only with money but also with warmth and attention. The sisters often went hungry, and for years were banished to sleep in an unheated lean-to shed, to make room in case of visitors. Jones wrote from experience: her parents were neglectful of her needs, and those of her two younger sisters. ![]() The child protagonist would realise this, but get on with the adventure anyway. Rather than a deliberately cruel stepmother, a Jones protagonist might have a real mother far more wrapped up in her own career than in the discoveries and feelings of her child. Though avoiding criminally dysfunctional families or unwanted pregnancies, her cleverly plotted and amusing adventures deal frankly with emotional clumsiness, parental neglect, jealousy between siblings and a general sense of being an outcast. Jones's fiction is relevant, subversive, witty and highly enjoyable, while also having a distinctly dark streak and a constant awareness of how unreliable the real world can seem. ![]() ![]() ![]() Sara’s world is an unsafe place for love– and certainly an unsafe place for children Adam longs for. Which makes falling in love with a man as high profile as Adam Black a bad idea. He’s the one who is determined to end their connection– and Sara’s life. He’s the man who abducted her as a child and continues to stalk her. Though faceless, he haunts Sara’s dreams. Under FBI protection, Sara isn’t even Sara Walsh anymore. I have included a copy of the synopsis below: The first book in the series, “Danger in the Shadows”, is actually a prequel to the O’Malley Series. I was fortunate for this because I found that while nearing the end of one book I was already in the bookstore purchasing the next in the series. Consequently, the entire series was complete when I started. Although this series has been out for years now, I only recently had an opportunity to read it. ![]() Each book tackled challenging questions of faith and offered amazing characters that readers truly grow to know. The O’Malley Series by Dee Henderson is a definite read! This 7 Book Christian Suspense/Romance series kept me interested in both plot and character development throughout every book. ![]() ![]() ![]() 'An intense, unforgettable novel, alive with the ache of longing and loss.'
