I read all seven of the books in Fitzgerald's series (an eighth, The Great Brain is Back, was published in 1995 after the author's death using notes left by Fitzgerald) as a child and still mourn the fact that they did not make it to adulthood with me. ![]() While the writing is vivid, Mayer's pictures bring the story to life. Although I didn't read Wilder's books until I was an adult and reading them out loud to my daughter, I am sure that as a child I was predisposed to like The Great Brain books because of my familiarity and love of Mercer Mayer's illustrations. First published in 1967, The Great Brain by John D Fitzgerald is a wonderful counterpart to Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series. ![]() ![]() See /privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Because of that, starting with yesterday’s review of Virginia Kantra’s Sea Lord, you’re about to see a run of very highly-rated reviews from me! I hope you’ll stick around for some suggestions of absolutely gorgeous Spring reading material. I simply read book after book, and ended up with a stack of nine (plus one unrelated cookbook) in need of review. In fact, I got so caught up in moving from one to the next that I didn’t get a single review written last week. ![]() ![]() Review book (uncorrected proof) courtesy of Penguin Group.Ī little over a week ago I received a bunch of books-mostly proofs of upcoming books-by a handful of the authors I’ve most come to love over the course of my reviewing.

I was super lucky in making some lesbian friends even before I came out, which meant that when I did realize I was gay, I already had a small support system, and that was lifesaving, but I didn’t know any other gay guys. Jeff: I suppose it was the sense of isolation. Julia: What was the hardest thing about growing up gay in Appalachia? In this conversation, Mann and Watts take a closer look at what growing up queer in Appalachia was like for them and how their identities influenced their reading and writing. In the newly published LGBTQ Fiction and Poetry from Appalachia, editors Jeff Mann and Julia Watts have collected works “that give Appalachian queer voices-members of a double minority-an opportunity to be heard at a time when many people in power would prefer to silence or ignore them.” This collection, the first of its kind, gathers original and previously published fiction and poetry from lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer authors from Appalachia. ![]() ![]() Through the wide-flung systems of humanity, Colonel Aliana Tanaka hunts for Duarte's missing daughter.

One of Graves's closest friends at this time was the poet Siegfried Sassoon, who was also an officer in the RWF. Apart from a brief spell back in France, he spent the rest of the war in England. At the Battle of the Somme he was so badly wounded by a shell-fragment through the lung that he was expected to die, and indeed was officially reported as 'died of wounds'.
