*************************

n an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester’s Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener’s hand is severed as “the dome” comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when — or if — it will go away.

*************************

et in the Georgian period, about 20 years before the Regency, These Old Shades is considered to be the book that launched Heyer’s career. It features two of Heyer’s most memorable characters: Justin Alastair, the Duke of Avon, and Leonie, whom he rescues from a life of ignomy and comes to love and marry. The Duke is known for his coldness of manner, his remarkable omniscience, and his debauched lifestyle. Late one evening, he is accosted by a young person dressed in ragged boy’s clothing running away from a brutal rustic guardian. The Duke buys “Leon” and makes the child his page. “Leon” is in fact Leonie, and she serves the Duke with deep devotion. When he uncovers the true story of her birth, he wreaks an unforgettable revenge on her sinister father in a chilling scene of public humiliation. PRAISE FOR GEORGETTE HEYER: “Our Georgette Heyer display of the Sourcebooks reprints has been a huge success, not only to those early fans like myself, but to many new readers who appreciate her style and wit.”
Nancy Olson, Quail Ridge Books, Raleigh, NC “Reading Georgette Heyer is the next best thing to reading Jane Austen.”
Publishers Weekly “Wonderful characters, elegant, witty writing, perfect period detail, and rapturously romantic. Georgette Heyer achieves what the rest of us only aspire to.”
Katie Fforde “Absolute monarch of the Regency romance.”
Kirkus Reviews

*************************

odd Hewitt is the only boy in a town of men. Ever since the settlers were infected with the Noise germ, Todd can hear everything the men think, and they hear everything he thinks. Todd is just a month away from becoming a man, but in the midst of the cacophony, he knows that the town is hiding something from him — something so awful Todd is forced to flee with only his dog, whose simple, loyal voice he hears too. With hostile men from the town in pursuit, the two stumble upon a strange and eerily silent creature: a girl. Who is she? Why wasn’t she killed by the germ like all the females on New World? Propelled by Todd’s gritty narration, readers are in for a white-knuckle journey in which a boy on the cusp of manhood must unlearn everything he knows in order to figure out who he truly is.

Standing Ovation: The Greatest Songs From The Stage by Susan Boyle

Genre(s): Pop

From an Amazon Top Reviewer:

ad to download this as soon as the mp3 was released at midnight. I’ve got the cd on order and will be able to compare the sound on the 2 soon. For now, I’m just overwhelmed with the power and versatility in these songs. She does “Bring him Home”, effortlessly and powerfully–no straining on the high notes like many male singers. “Winner Takes It All” is heartbreaking. She can take another artist’s version of a song like “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”, sing the exact same notes, but the timbre of her voice gives it a completely different sound. (BTW, her produces says she did “Rainbow” in one take. No wonder she finished the album 2 weeks ahead of schedule.) There’s a good blend on all the duets, although I prefer the ones with Donny. I know “You’ll Never Walk Alone” is associated with football/soccer in the UK, but she recreates the original inspirational impact of the song. I wish she’d sing it in New York and dedicate it to the victims of the hurricane.

Even if you’re not fond of show tunes, I think you will be impressed with her voice itself.
