Let’s go to and read some HERstory. ![]() ![]() ![]() But there’s just one problem: Rocky doesn’t want to wear it. Sixty years later, tech CEO Rachel, who goes by the childhood nickname “Rocky,” has inherited the dress for her upcoming wedding in New York City. But when, against better judgment, she finds herself falling in love with the bride’s handsome brother, Rose must make an impossible choice, one that could put all she’s worked for at risk: love, security and of course, the dress. Paris, 1958: Rose, a seamstress at a fashionable atelier, has been entrusted with sewing a Grace Kelly-look-alike gown for a wealthy bride-to-be. Two years after Grace Kelly’s royal wedding, her iconic dress is still all the rage in Paris-and one replica, and the secrets it carries, will inspire three generations of women to forge their own paths in life and in love. “Fast paced and entertaining from beginning to end.”-KRISTIN HANNAH, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Nightingale “Exactly the type of book I love: charming, smart, and brimming with heart.”-EMILY GIFFIN, #1 New York Times bestselling author of All We Ever Wanted ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Marina, Mr Fox has therefore decided, must now follow on, and report on Swenson instead. ![]() Swenson has written a rare letter, to inform Marina's boss, Mr Fox, that the employee he previously sent to Brazil to find and report on her has died. But Patchett is not afraid to keep the parallels with that troubling early 20th-century classic in play: Marina even has a Kurtz, in the shape of the mysterious and incommunicative scientist Dr Annick Swenson. In that respect, the more modern and open-minded Marina Singh, and her journey to the heart of darkness that is modern-day South America rather than colonial Africa, is a distinct improvement on Conrad's imperial, racist Marlow. The heroine of Ann Patchett's latest novel, which is set in the Amazon rainforest, knows that "it was somehow less humiliating, less disrespectful, to dance with the natives than it was to simply stand there watching them". ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They’re quite demanding in every way-emotionally, mentally, and physically. We forget that books require mental bandwidth. It took me years to understand that any kind of burnout or fatigue is the brain’s way of demanding we press pause and listen to it. Odd as it may sound, reading burnout serves a valuable, positive purpose. No matter how reading burnout takes shape in our lives, we inevitably must face the fact that our passion for reading doesn’t need to be approached as if we’re playing whack-a-mole with books. Every cell in our bodies is shouting that WE SHOULD BE READING. We miss it, we need it–and a severe case of FOMO settles into our bones. Our hands itch for a book and our minds long to delve into a satisfying tale. That’s what we tell ourselves, and what we imagine our community is thinking, even if they aren’t. Reading burnout has a way of creeping into our lives without a whisper of a warning, and at the most inconvenient of times, too! It’s invasive, exhausting, and a little confusing, especially when the desire to read is there, but the motivation to actually do the reading is not. ![]() ![]() (Apr.) FYI: Card has won four Hugos, two Nebulas and one World Fantasy Award. His new look at a classic tale is clever, however, adding attractive whimsical twists and cultural confluences to a familiar story. In an apparent desire to make his tale believable, Card leaches it of some of its magic, offering up the extraordinary as matter of fact, and his characters lack some of the depth that usually makes his writing so rewarding. By the time they return to the fairy-tale world, they are armed with modern-day knowledge and aided by Ivan's relatives, who turn out to be minor Russian deities and witches. Ivan brings his betrothed into the modern world to keep her from Yaga's clutches and the pair learn to understand not only each other, but each other's powers and weapons.

Ten-year-old Ivan is terrified by, yet drawn to, a beautiful woman frozen in time in the middle of the primordial forest of Russia. Intertwining the story of Sleeping Beauty with Russian mythology, Card (Homebody, etc.) creates an appealing though not potent fairy tale. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Lois comes before the jury that decides who sells what at Bay Area markets, she encounters a close-knit club with no appetite for new members. The company chef urges her to take her product to the farmer’s market, and a whole new world opens up. Soon, not only is she eating her own homemade bread, she’s providing loaves daily to the General Dexterity cafeteria. Lois is no baker, but she could use a roommate, even if it is a needy colony of microorganisms. She must keep it alive, they tell her – feed it daily, play it music, and learn to bake with it. But they have one last delivery for Lois: their culture, the sourdough starter used to bake their bread. ![]() ![]() She codes all day and collapses at night, her human contact limited to the two brothers who run the neighbourhood hole-in-the-wall from which she orders dinner every evening. Lois Clary is a software engineer at General Dexterity, a San Francisco robotics company with world-changing ambitions. Leavened by the same infectious intelligence and lovable nerdiness that made Robin Sloan’s Mr Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore such a sensation, Sourdough marks the triumphant return of a unique and beloved young writer. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In fact, she went to New York City after her parents’ death (her parents left her a sizeable inheritance which she used to drift through life). But Chen doesn't stay in Salt Lake City for very long. Chen and her parents immigrated from China to Salt Lake City, Utah in her youth as her parents sought a better life for everyone. The novel also features flashbacks of Chen's life. At the start of the novel, Ma lets readers know that society has collapsed as a result of the Shen Fever, a disease (turned pandemic) that makes those infected with it repeat routines without thought until they eventually die. The start of Severance introduces readers to Candace Chen, the main character and protagonist of the novel.
