Captain Moxley and the Embers of the Empire (2020) by Dan Hanks [ANGRY ROBOT] (Paperback 380 pages)
Review: The publisher, ANGRY ROBOT (here is their website: https://angryrobotbooks.com/about-us/ ) is a small publisher in England who only publishes books of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. (They also say they publish WTF?? Stories – we can figure out that WTF stands for What The F***!) Their stories are heavily weighted towards plot and Action!! And really cool fantastical ideas. (No meditations on the meaning of life to be seen here 😊 ) Most of Angry Robot’s published authors are early in their writing careers.
Captain Moxley and the Embers of the Empire is Dan Hanks debut novel. It is heavily influenced by the ”Indiana Jones” Adventure Movies. This novel, set in 1952, follows action heroine Samantha Moxley (a fighter pilot from WW2) and her younger sister Jessica, an archeologist. The sisters seek to locate two Artifacts that will, when used together, reveal powerful Ancient Secrets. They are racing against a villainous organization (including a former Nazi!) to find the Artifacts. Many of the scenes in the novel would translate well to an action movie. I could also see the novel being adapted as a video game.
Author Dan Hanks has said that he has ideas for a prequel and for a sequel for this novel, but no publishing contract – yet – though he’s hoping sometime soon ….. Not sure if I’d read a sequel, I’d be more interested in a prequel, as all the action in the novel didn’t leave much room for backstory of the characters.

Task 20.10 Letters (Owlette's Task) Read a book (fiction or nonfiction) where a character writes a letter by hand (no typing). Tell us the name of the letter writer. Personal journal and diary entries are excluded.The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster is a time travel novel. The title character, Annie Aster in 1995, writes letters to a 63 year old woman in 1895 named Elsbeth Grundy. They have a ‘special’ mail box that transports the letters through time, exactly 100 years in the past or the future as the case may be.
The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster (2015) by Scott Wilbanks (Goodreads Author) (Paperback 379 pages)
Review: The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster is Scott Wilbanks only published novel. It’s a time travel novel, a quirky one, with one end in 1995 San Francisco, and the other end in an 1895 Kansas wheatfield. It begins with letters going back and forth over the century, and eventually involves other objects and even people going back and forth. The ending seemed rushed – it seemed to be like an outline of how it all ends rather than a natural ending. I liked the characters – they were all society’s misfits thrust into unusual situations and having to learn to cope. The villain wasn’t likeable, but the author includes plausible reasons for why he is the way he is. I’d read another book by this author. Alas, it's been 8 years and the only thing online about the author is that he has moved to New Zealand. Recommended for fans of time travel stories.

10.8 FriendsThe Friend by Sigrid Nunez
I think it was Karen Michelle who posted this earlier this season, which was good because it reminded me that this book was on my TBR. Unfortunately, I did not really gel with this book. There were definitely some small moments that I really enjoyed (either the wit or the spot-on observation), but so much of it seemed to be meandering, and insular, thoughts on being a writer (or not). It felt very much like meta-fiction with Nunez inserting herself into the story. Sadly, this did not work as well as when Coetzee does it. The reader is really held at an extra long arm’s distance from the narrator, which for me made it difficult to care about her or feel her grief. What I really wanted was more Apollo. 3*

While this is a mystery story, the compelling story at the center of the book has nothing to do with the multiple murders and the drug dealing plot. Without giving anything away, Osman tells a very human and ultimately difficult story about the effects of dealing with aging. His characters are very finely drawn and while remaining true to the previous books do manage to surprise us in how they interact and choose their path for the future. Not everyone would make the same choices, but for these characters, the choices make perfect sense.
I highly recommend this book

20.2The Witch’s Lens by Luanne G. Smith
This book had the required tags for the task when I asked about it in the help thread but World war I has since fallen off to under the first more.
It is also a fantasy book where the key element is that a variety of magics were part of World War I. Some were splashy, but this novel is about a group of magic users that had escaped the draft and been collected late for a particular problem. There is a very Eastern European/Russian feel to the magic system and the book, which makes sense as the conflict is set in the Carpathian mountains. It is gritty, not as much as a novel might be that is only historical, but there is dirt and death and grime and hanging on because that's just what you need to be doing right now. I enjoyed the read and am interested in the 2nd book of the duology. I am also curious if they will center back around to the supernatural photography aspect or if that will have served primarily as an intro and initial reveal.

10.8 - FriendsThings My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About by Mil Millington
I wanted to like this book more than I actually liked it. Several of the reviews said that it was laugh out loud hilarious. I found it sort of ridiculous and there were moments of dry humor that were entertaining, but mostly the book seemed silly. The plot never really made much sense and so I never felt fully committed to the story. There were a few moments of closeness (including the ending) that made the relationship between the protagonist and the titular girlfriend seem worthwhile, but a lot of the time it felt like there was no point to their relationship.
Because I wasn't that taken with the book, it took me nearly a month to read. I kept picking up other shinier things in between.

10.1 Over 60Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie
I always enjoy Agatha Christie. There was quite a bit of humor in this book and the mystery was pretty interesting. Overall, I think I like the Hercule Poirot books better, but maybe Miss Marple gets better in later books. This is the first Miss Marple that I've read (at least, I think so). I think I'll enjoy the ones that are narrated by Miss Marple herself more than this one that's narrated by the vicar.
The language in this book felt especially elementary, but Richard Grant's narration helped to offset that. He had just the right amount of British accent and was able to bring out the humor of the book with his nuanced reading of male characters. Unfortunately, he wasn't quite as good at reading the female characters, particularly Lettice.

20.2 War Read any book that has an MPG of War and Historical Fiction. This has both MPGs.Canary Girls by Jennifer Chiaverini
I've read this author from the time she was writing the Elm Creek Quilters series, before she branched out to more general Historical Fiction. One thing you can count on from her books is that they will feature strong women characters, who care about each other, and often face down adversity together.
This book is set during World War I, and takes place in England. The title refers to the women who worked in munitions plants directly handling the TNT that went into bombs. The exposure to this chemical turned their skin and eyes yellow, their hair orange. It caused respiratory problems, but fortunately the symptoms receded when the exposure was ended. That is not to say that deaths did not result, but munitions work was dangerous in and of itself, with factory explosions happening more than the government wanted to tell.
This was an interesting book, but a slog at times.

20.7 Christie In honor of Agatha Christie, whose writing career spanned more than 50 years, read any book - fiction or nonfiction - whose events cover more than 50 years.Mrs. Everything by Jennifer Weiner
This book starts in the 1950s, when Bethie and Josette (Jo) were children, and ends in 2015, after Jo's death. It is historical fiction, covering many of the events that shaped the lives of these two sisters, with the focus on how life has changed (or not changed) for women over the course of the book.
I'm on the fence about this book. I didn't hate it, but at times I had to force myself to go on. Other times, the pages turned themselves. I think my biggest complaint was that it tried too hard to be too many things, and cover too many issues.

This was an interesting addition to Alice Hoffman's list of books.

Nathaniel Hawthorne is the author featured in this book. The main character is Mia Jacob, who travels back in time and meets and fails in love with Hawthorned, after a book of his "saves" her life. She then has to decide whether to stay there, possibly changing his life, or live with the memory of his love in her own time.

20.4 Golden AgeThe Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
When I first saw this task at the end of August, I was a little bummed that I'd just finished The Illustrated Man since it would have worked perfectly here and I didn't have much interest in reading another "golden era" sci-fi book. How wrong I was! The Martian Chronicles was jaw-droppingly good.
As with Illustrated Man, this was a "fix-up" novel (one that takes previously published short stories and edits them to make them fit together as a "novel"). It still read as short stories to me, but stories where names and characters from other stories pop up to give it a sense of linear time and consistency.
I think my favorite thing about Bradbury is his ability to comment on the ills of the world/society/humanity/America in the world of a Martian future.
My favorites were "Usher II" (a criticism of censorship--and one where the main character kills off the censors using torture devices from Poe's stories), "There Will Come Soft Rains" (a fully automated house keeps a family's life running smoothly, though all that's left of the family are silhouettes of dust on the wall after nuclear annihilation), and "Way in the Middle of the Air" (the black population of a town is leaving en masse for Mars and John Teece, a local shop owner and bigot, is trying his best to make them stay...I got chills when one of his former employees, while heading for the rocket, asks him, "What will you do with your nights now?" Teece doesn't know what he means and when it dawns on him that he means there will be no one left for him to lynch, he flies into a rage and tries to get to the rockets to stop them but can't because all of the departing townsfolk left their belongings in the road to hinder anyone trying to stop them).

20.7 ChristieThe Best Friend by Jessica Fellowes
This book follows the friendships of Bella and Kate from age six until they are in their 80s. Kate is gregarious and attention-seeking, popular and beautiful. Bella is more reserved, more sensible and sensitive. They are besties from the beginning. Of course, things happen throughout their lives and they'll go years without talking--then reconnect and they're instantly thick as thieves again.
Listening to this book was a little like watching an episode of Jerry Springer--a toxic, co-dependent, horrifying relationship on display for the world to see with no resolution and a whole lot of questions with no answers.
This is one of the worst books I've read in a while. None of the characters were sympathetic and while (I think?) you're meant to feel sympathetic towards Bella (Kate steals her boyfriend when she's 14, drops her entirely when she's 17, at 30 Kate gets Bella drunk and then leaves her alone with her predatory step-son--it's intimated that he rapes her--and then blames Bella for everything, and that's just the beginning of the awfulness of Kate), but Bella was a pretty useless character and I had no sympathy for her whatsoever.
I think the worst thing about this novel was the author's obfuscation--she's always dropping hints, intimating, hinting at things without every actually STATING anything...so often I wondered, "Did I miss something?" I'd re-listen to long passages to see if I missed a word or sentence that would make sense of everything and, nope, it was just a big muddle of nothing. Infuriating. An absolute waste of time. Ick.
I finished it weeks ago and was hoping that it'd grow on me in retrospect. Nope. Just got worse on reflection. One of its MPG genre is "Mystery" but the only mystery was how did I not DNF this horrible novel.

10.4 DebutLessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
REVIEW: I knew going in that this would be more fun than substantial, but I was pleasantly surprised by this book. There were several moments that made me laugh out loud, and while the characters aren't very realistic, they are quite fun and quirky.
The book has an inspirational, feel-good tone that leaves you grateful for how far women have come in breaking down the patriarchy. However, it's not particularly energizing - the focus is ONLY on the progress feminism has made since the 1950s/60s. No hint at work that remains to be done. There is only the lightest touch on racism and no mention of LGBTQ discrimination.
We bounce around between perspectives (including the dog) and in time (to some extent) in a way that is clunky, but helps keep a quick pace.
The last 25ish pages of the book are basically a summary of the author's themes and intentions. To my annoyance, she explains everything she's shown in the novel: the parallels between chemistry as science and chemistry as two people belonging together; the ways that knowledge lead to action and change; that this book is about early feminism.

10.7 ScrabbleTomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
REVIEW: For me, this was okay. The plot clips along and is cohesive and interesting; I definitely wanted to know what would happen next. However, the plot points are not always believable, unfortunately. In the same vein, the characters are well-rounded, but not very realistic. I understood the author's intentions for their motives, but didn't always believe them. Sometimes I really, really didn’t believe them.
The best part of this book was the world-building in the video games themselves, and the pure love and excitement the characters have for creating and inhabiting those worlds. This was fun and interesting, but also had more depth than any of the relationships between the characters.

20.10 LettersSometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey
REVIEW: This book is so very Oregon, which increased the thrill ten-fold for me. Everything is wet and green in a forest full of giant trees and beer-drinking, hard-working men. Kesey's first draw for me was how well he captured Oregon.
The second draw, once I adjusted, was his writing style. The perspective is constantly switching without a chapter or section break, or any indication whatsoever. Frequently there are multiple perspectives at once (one in parenthetical notes sprinkled among the other). In the beginning this meant keeping careful track and watching for those switches. But after 100 or so pages, once I knew the characters well, this became fascinating rather than hard work. Kesey also threw in a little light stream-of-consciousness in tense situations (when Lee is high on the bus trip to Oregon, when various fist fights occur).
The third thing that Kesey did brilliantly, especially for a reader like me, is create exceptional characters - and a whole group of them! They are stubborn and angry, and very much alive. I was also struck by what tied them all together - their yearning to be true to themselves. Every important character and many less-important ones felt this struggle.
The climax of this yearning among the characters to be themselves comes from Lee towards the end of the novel. He says that each of us has a stronghold that can never be taken, only surrendered, and he wants his back: "Which meant winning back the strength I had bartered away years before for a watered-down love. Which meant winning back the pride I had exchanged for pity."

10.8 Friends The Boyfriend List: 15 Guys, 11 Shrink Appointments, 4 Ceramic Frogs and Me, Ruby Oliver by E. Lockhart
Ruby Oliver is a high school student who apparently needs therapy because she has upset her friends.
I had some issues with this book, as you may have guessed. Mainly, Ruby treats potential boyfriends and her girl friends really badly. She wonders why her girl friends don't like her any more. I wonder why the boys still do like her.
This book reinforces the stereotype that boys/men only care about looks/bodies. No matter what Ruby does, they always come panting after her because she is physically attractive. Maybe it's true to what some girls experience in high school, but I would prefer to read about a different, more caring, role model for teens.

Daughters of Chivalry: The Forgotten Children of King Edward Longshanks- by Kelcey Wilson-Lee
The book begins in 1274 with the coronation of Edward I and ends in 1332 with the death of one of his daughter, Mary, in 1332 The book spans 58 years.
A very interesting delve into the lives of the 5 daughters of the long reigning King of England, Edward I (called Edward Longshanks). Author, Kelcey Wilson-Lee does extensive research into historical archives. In the introduction, she asks you to imagine what the life of a medieval princess would be like. Most likely, you would begin with thinking fairy tales and Hollywood interpretations-their story ending happily ever, as the wife of a male savior. Wilson-Lee erases your thoughts to bring to life a few of the forgotten, strong, independent women who were pawns in political marriages, but despite that unjustice lead lives of education and leadership, long forgotten.
An accessible book for any person interested in history. At times seeming more like a novel than a biography.
