![]() Before his death in 1928, Hardy was recognized as a major literary contributor of his time period and he was awarded the Order of Merit for his literary achievements in 1910. Hardy remarried a woman named Florence Dugdale in 1914. His wife’s death in 1912 inspired some of his most memorable works of poetry. For the thirty-two years of his life after the publication of Jude the Obscure, Hardy wrote only poetry and drama. There, in his beloved homeland, he wrote many of his major novels: The Mayor of Casterbridge (1886), The Woodlanders (1887), Tess of the d’Urbervilles (1891), The Pursuit of the Well-Beloved (1892), and his final novel, Jude the Obscure (1895). But by 1885, Thomas Hardy had again returned to Dorset. In 1878, the Hardys moved to London, so Thomas could join the thriving literary circles there. He married his first wife, Emma Gifford, in 1874, after meeting her on a business trip to Cornwall four years earlier. ![]() In 1867, he returned to Dorset, working again as an architecture assistant, as he started to craft his first novel.

![]() Here, too, the hero-ten-year-old Harvey Swick-encounters another world, by having his cry of boredom answered by a yellow-skinned man named Rictus who flies through Harvey's bedroom window and offers to take him to ``Holiday House.'' The boy agrees and, led through a wall of fog, finds himself in a magical place where, during each 24 hours, all four seasons pass (hot, sunny afternoons snowy winter nights, etc.) along with their holidays, including Christmas mornings that find Harvey's most cherished wishes answered beneath the tree. Barker's adult novels (Imajica, 1991, etc.) deal with the play between our world and fabulous alternate realities. Is it penance? Cockiness? A final burst of youth? Whatever the reasons, in recent years, several middle-aging horror authors have written children's books (rarely marketed as such): Whitley Strieber's Wolf of Shadows (1985) Stephen King's The Eyes of the Dragon (1987) Dean Koontz's Oddkins (1988)-and now, from Barker, a ``fable'' about a wish-granting house that may be the weakest of the lot. ![]() ![]() same thing with what Taki's wearing at his gramma's house.Īnother proof that Mr. ![]() why design a whole new look for her? it would confuse the fans and detract from her cameo.

Mitsuha's same clothes set the day and date of Weathering inside the runtime of Your Name? no. even if she's 3 years older than Taki that would make her, at most, 20-23 years old in Weathering. Mitsuha is a full-grown adult in Weathering. the green stripe shows that's his Summer HS uniform. Taki's still in HS in Weathering, check the collar of his shirt when the 'weather kids' show up at his gramma's place. ![]() Shinkai writes good scripts, he just doesn't do crossovers well. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a widely known fact that most moms are ready to kill someone by 8:30AM on any given morning. You know a book is good when the final page makes you whisper-shout to yourself, “Oh my fucking GOD!” She soon discovers that crime in real life is a lot more difficult than its fictional counterpart, as she becomes tangled in a real-life murder investigation. When Finlay is overheard discussing the plot of her new suspense novel with her agent over lunch, she’s mistaken for a contract killer and inadvertently accepts an offer to dispose of a problem husband in order to make ends meet. A stressed-out single mom of two and struggling novelist, Finlay’s life is in chaos: The new book she promised her literary agent isn’t written her ex-husband fired the nanny without telling her and this morning she had to send her four-year-old to school with hair duct-taped to her head after an incident with scissors. ![]() TITLE: Finlay Donovan is Killing It (Finlay Donovan, #1)įinlay Donovan is killing it…except, she’s really not. ![]() ![]() ![]() On this journey, the duo take trip to the Eerie Book Dispensary, a place I particularly enjoyed reading about.

Herbert Lemon, or Herbie to his friends, works in the Lost and Foundery at a local hotel. It’s children’s literature, but that didn’t stop my enjoying the story of 12 year olds Herbert Lemon and Violet Parma. I won this proof copy in a Twitter competition run by Wordery.

Malamander is told from the perspective of Herbert Lemon, the Lost-and-Founder of the Grand Nautilus Hotel, who tries to unite objects that have been left at the hotel with their owners.
