When he begins working the night shift a Frederick Auto Body, he needs someone to take care of his two sons, Ben and Sam while he is at work.

In short: if you've read a controversial story in the paper since the Bush administration, it went across his desk first. McCraw has worked at the Times since 2002, leading the paper's fight for freedom of information, defending it against libel suits, and providing legal counsel to the reporters breaking the biggest stories of the year. But as you'll see in Truth in Our Times, for the top newsroom lawyer at the paper of record, it was just another day at the office. In October 2016, when Donald Trump's lawyer demanded that The New York Times retract an article focused on two women that accused Trump of touching them inappropriately, David McCraw's scathing letter of refusal went viral and he became a hero of press freedom everywhere. McCraw recounts his experiences as the top newsroom lawyer for the New York Times during the most turbulent era for journalism in generations. ![]() This program includes an introduction read by the author.ĭavid E. ![]() It is, in a way, a love letter to the First Amendment." - The New York Times Book Review “ is spirited and hopeful and even, at times, lighthearted. ![]() ![]() ![]() Which is, incidentally, what our Monk and Robot duo-Dex and Mosscap-have found in each other. ![]() I love the author's unerring talent for capturing hard feelings with unexpected words, how sometimes Chambers would quietly unload on the page a line so powerful, so devastating, that it would press the breath from my lungs: “ How am I supposed to tell people they’re good enough as they are when I don’t think I am?” These have quickly become my favorite moments, when reading begins to feel like overhearing a confession, a pouring out of inarticulable truths that can only emerge when you finally find someone with whom you can just sit on the ground and breathe. ![]() Becky Chambers is fantastic at expressing so precisely things I can talk about endlessly: like the transformative power of love and queer community, the beauty and strangeness of how we eke meaning out of our surroundings, and how joy and beauty can sometimes be so mundane that, in that simplicity, they become utterly radical. There is something in these books that goes right to the heart of things. ![]() The dedication for the first book states, “ For anybody who could use a break,” and for this book it reads, “ For anybody who doesn’t know where they’re going.” It must be said that half the joy of reading this series is one of a promise kept. ![]() ![]() ![]() This point is not simply a magnanimous expression of forgiveness toward an unworthy class of tyrants it is an insight into human nature. In the first section, “Life as a Slave,” Douglass establishes one of the book’s key themes: Slavery victimized everyone, from slaves to slaveholders. Douglass died in 1895, so this three-part autobiography, published in 1892, represents his most complete account of his life. The first two were published in 1881 10 years later, Douglass added the third. ![]() This is the story of both Douglass’s life and the times in which he lived.ĭouglass divides the book into three parts. As such, after the opening chapters, in which Douglass describes his grandparents and the mother he barely knew, readers will find few details about Douglass’s private life apart from very brief references to his two marriages and the death of his young daughter. Life and Times of Frederick Douglass is essentially a history of Frederick Douglass’s public life-that is, the points at which his life converged with the 19th century’s most momentous events and developments. ![]() ![]() ![]() SPELLCASTER trilogy by Claudia Gray (HarperCollins) SAVING JUNE and SPEECHLESS by Hannah Harrington (Harlequin Teen) SHADOWS CAST BY STARS by Catherine Knutsson (Atheneum) OCTOBER DAYE series by Seanan McGuire (DAW)ĪLCESTIS by Katharine Beutner (Soho Press) Isabel is especially interested in narratives focused on travel, food, and the science of beauty, as well as microhistories of all things decadent and frivolous.įor more information about Isabel and what she's looking for, please refer to her individual page here.ĮVERNIGHT series by Claudia Gray (HarperCollins) On the nonfiction side, we're interested in memoirs, biography, and smart narrative nonfiction Diana particularly enjoys memoirs and other nonfiction about sex work, addiction and recovery, popular science, and pop culture.

Of course anyone who has read any of the Swindle series knows Griffin is not about to let this happen, and makes up another one of his famous plans to save the day. ![]() He has a bunch of legal documents written up against Luthor, saying that he should be removed from the neighborhood, and that he should be impounded or put down. The only odd thing about the situation is Swindle doesn't seem the least bit interested in the gang, his only concern is what a hazard having Luthor in the neighborhood is for the community. ![]() Swindle had returned from jail, after being put there for "stealing" the million dollar Babe Ruth card found by Griffin and his gang. ![]() It's just another normal day in Griffin Bing's neighborhood, until his friend Savannah runs into someone that Griffin and the gang thought that they would never see again. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's really a journey as it takes you through the beauty and fragility of life and how life should always have a meaning.

Not only do they keep you turning the page, but they also While every character starts out plain or stereotypical, the depth of every one of them is simply so encapturing. Despite the seemingly plain premise, what the story does so well, is making you fall in love with the characters. The story appears rather simple: boy meets girl, boy has a fatal illness and will die within a year.

Presented as an eyewitness account of the events at the time, it was written in the years just prior to the book's first publication in March 1722. The book is told somewhat chronologically, though without sections or chapter headings, and with frequent digressions and repetitions. It is an account of one man's experiences of the year 1665, in which the bubonic plague struck the city of London in what became known as the Great Plague of London, the last epidemic of plague in that city. ![]() A Journal of the Plague Year at WikisourceĪ Journal of the Plague Year: Being Observations or Memorials, Of the most Remarkable Occurrences, As well Publick as Private, which happened in London During the last Great Visitation In 1665, commonly called A Journal of the Plague Year, is a book by Daniel Defoe, first published in March 1722. ![]() |
