The book traffics in many of the conventions young adult fiction is known for (melodrama, dubiously justified disdain for parental figures, general teen angst), but Maddy Whittier is an exceptionally sheltered protagonist: She never leaves her meticulously decontaminated house, lest she come into contact with any common contagion.

![]() ![]() Moore began developing the plot for From Hell in the late 1980s. In 2000, the graphic novel was banned in Australia for several weeks after customs officers seized copies of the seventh issue from a shipment intended for Quality Comics. The comic was loosely adapted into a film, released in 2001. The 2000 and later editions are the most common prints. The title is taken from the first words of the "From Hell" letter, which some authorities believe was an authentic message sent from the killer in 1888. The novel depicts several true events surrounding the murders, although portions have been fictionalised, particularly the identity of the killer and the precise nature and circumstances of the murders. Set during the Whitechapel murders of the late Victorian era, the novel speculates upon the identity and motives of Jack the Ripper. ![]() The full collection was published in 1999 by Top Shelf Productions.

Brief Summary of Book: The Contract Box Set by Melanie Moreland ![]() ![]() ![]() Filled with forensic analysis and revealing reportage, this landmark book is a must read for anyone who wants to see a future with better government. Arguing that each stage of the parliamentary career favours the 'wrong' politicians, she considers the troubling legacy of a political system that dissuades large parts of society from taking part. She lifts the lid on the strange world of Westminster and asks why we end up with representatives that we are so unhappy with. ![]() In this entertaining examination of our political class, award-winning journalist Isabel Hardman tries to square this circle. And every year, MPs collectively introduce new legislation that doesn't do what it sets out to achieve - often with terrible financial and human costs. And yet, politicians are consistently voted the least trusted professional group by the UK public - below estate agents, lawyers and journalists. With some notable exceptions, she has found them to be decent, hard-working people, doing a hugely difficult and demanding job. She's conducted thousands of interviews with MPs ranging from fresh-faced recruits to Prime Ministers. ![]() As one of the country's leading political journalists, Isabel Hardman has spent many years in that bizarre rabbit-warren we call the Houses of Parliament. ![]() ![]() ![]() More shocking was depicting Jesus coming down from the cross and enjoying the delights of conjugal love with the sisters Mary and Martha, numerous offspring, and a long life of satisfying labor in Bethany. Yet this possibility was implicit in the gospel narratives, as borne out by the publication a few years ago of the second-century Gospel of Judas. Indeed, Jesus encouraged him to perform the crucial role in carrying it out. ![]() One of the most sensational aspects was its portrayal of Judas as the only disciple who knew in advance what the carpenter's son planned. This book outraged religious sensibilities when it appeared more than a half-century ago, as did the Martin Scorsese film based on it. ![]() ![]() ![]() But realizing their heart's true desire is not enough. Torn between passion and prejudice, conviction and taboo, love and obligation, each is forced to question everything they knew and everything they were sure they wanted. In the smoldering aftermath of a grueling battle, they find themselves in unfamiliar positions-Nena as a captive-Jarl wanting something he cannot have. ![]() ![]() Proud, strong and fiercely disciplined, her tribe has dominated the territory for centuries, and they fear no opponent-certainly not the beast-like, invading Northmen. NENA, daughter of a regional war-chief, is an accomplished warrior in her own right. His forces cut a wide swath through the land, taking everything of value-capturing or killing any who stand in their way. JARL, a powerful Viking leader, returns to the rich lands near the Caspian Sea at the helm of his magnificent new longship, The Treasure Huntress. Under the fiery Middle Eastern sun, two enemy worlds collide. VOTED TOP 4 - "BEST VIKING ROMANCES" ON GOODREADS - (February 17, 2020).

David Quammen tracks this subject around the world. The bugs that transmit these diseases share one thing: they originate in wild animals and pass to humans by a process called spillover. We hear news reports of Ebola, SARS, AIDS, and something called Hendra killing horses and people in Australia - but those reports miss the big truth that such phenomena are part of a single pattern. When a certain strain takes the leap and infects a human, scientists call that event spillover. In this age of speedy travel, it threatens a worldwide pandemic. Summary In Spillover, David Quammen (one of my favorite science writers) takes us through jungles, villages, and laboratories to study zoonoses: animal infections that can jump to humans. In 9 chapters, David Quammen chronicles various spillover events by using personal anecdotes and multiple stories to recount these events for the expert and novice alike. ![]() The emergence of strange new diseases is a frightening problem that seems to be getting worse. Spillover is a single event during which a pathogen from 1 species moves into another species such movement can result in an outbreak. ![]() ![]() A masterpiece of science reporting that tracks the animal origins of emerging human diseases. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “Anyone who appreciates off-the-beaten-path adventures will be swept away.”– Publishers Weekly, starred review Highly recommended.”– Library Journal, starred review ACROSS THE GREEN GRASS FIELDSĢ starred reviews, a LibraryReads pick, and an Indie Next pick! “The message of owning one’s truth instead of losing one’s individuality will resonate. “Outstanding…Throughout Cora’s harrowing adventures, McGuire’s sense of whimsy never falters…The result will captivate both longtime Wayward Children fans and new readers.”– Publishers Weekly, starred review WHERE THE DROWNED GIRLS GOĢ starred reviews and a LibraryReads Hall-of-Famer!
