Samuel Vimes, Commander of the City Watch, has to find out who shot the Klatchian envoy, Prince Khufurah, and set fire to their embassy, before war breaks out. As Jingo begins, an island suddenly rises between Ankh-Morpork and Al-Khali, capital of Klatch. Jingo is the 20th of Pratchett's Discworld novels, and the fourth to feature the City Guard of Ankh-Morpork. Never read a Discworld book? The closest comparison might be Monty Python and the Holy Grail, with its uniquely British sense of the absurd, and side-splitting, smart humor. ![]() Terry Pratchett is a phenomenon unto himself. ![]() ![]() ![]() The perfect way to discover Austen for the first time, this bright and bold collection features some of the most inspiring and famous heroines in English literature. ![]() Illustrated and retold editions are also available for: Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, Sense and Sensibility, and Mansfield Park.

When the former head of CSIS called for a public inquiry into election interference, the Prime Minister labelled that suggestion as undermining democracy. Christina Paul has gifted us with a beautiful romance where new lovers become friends and are concerned with feelings and family as they learn to love again, if they live long enough to do so. ![]() This was even while Global News was reporting that intelligence memos had been given to the Prime Minister months before, outlining how Beijing's consulate directed the funnelling of a large sum of money to 11 candidates in the 2019 election.

In Parasol Protectorate, Carriger’s trademark sense of humor was what made the series stand out, but there was also some substance underneath, and the plots kept me engaged and interested. It took me a while to put my thoughts in order and figure out exactly what went wrong, at least for me, and even now I can only explain a part of it. ![]() However, I don’t think Etiquette and Espionage was up to her usual standards, and it makes me very sad that I didn’t enjoy it as much as I’d hoped I would. The Parasol Protectorate series is a favorite of mine, despite losing some steam in the later installments. ![]() ![]() 2.5 stars, rounded up because I'm feeling particularly generous today.īefore any of you start plotting my painful and untimely death, I should point out that I’m a big fan of Ms. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I read this rather extraordinary novel earlier this year (as part of my #20BooksOfSummer challenge), but never got around to reviewing it mainly because I couldn’t find the words to do it justice. It’s a multi-layered, multi-generational story that revolves around grief, loss and dispossession, but teases out, gently but oh-so surely, what it is to be Aboriginal, to have a sense of identity, a true purpose and a language of one’s own. But back on country, August discovers there are bigger challenges ahead: her grandparents’ house is about to be repossessed by a mining company. Poppy was midway through writing a dictionary of his people’s language, but his work has gone missing and August is intent on finding it so that she can finish the task at hand. ![]() It tells the story of August, a young Aboriginal woman, who returns home - after a decade living in London - to help bury her beloved grandfather, Albert ‘Poppy’ Gondiwindi. It has been shortlisted for numerous others, including the Stella Prize and the Victorian Premier’s Literary Awards.

People who work the circuit now know him as a born-again Christian who is careful not to work with black metal or satanic bands. Although, he was initially known for his episodes of drunken and aggressive behavior and personal clashes with other members in the band, he managed to turn his life around. Yet, his capabilities and his sheer passion for music also earned him a place in the hearts of his fans around the world. From drug peddling to firing band mates at whim and 17 visits to drug rehab centers, he is the quintessential media magnate and has attracted more negative attention than positive. However, the earlier days of this rock musician’s life is a woeful case study in bad behavior. A man of humble beginnings, he has carved a permanent place for himself in the world of music.
