*************************
tella Chavez is your classic good girl: straight As, clean-cut boyfriends, and soccer trophies. You’d never guess that Stella’s dad was a drug addict who walked out when she was a kid. Or that inside, Stella wishes for something more. New girl Ruby Caroline seems like Stella’s polar opposite: cursing, smoking, and teetering in sky-high heels. But with Ruby, Stella gets a taste of another world a world in which parents act like roommates, college men are way more interesting than high school boys, and there is nothing that shouldn’t be tried once. It’s not long before Stella finds herself torn: between the best friend she’s ever had and the friends she’s known forever, between her family and her own independence, between who she was and who she wants to be. But Ruby has a darker side, a side she doesn’t show anyone not even Stella. As Stella watches her friend slowly unravel, she will have to search deep inside herself for the strength to be a true friend, even if it means committing the ultimate betrayal.

*************************
et in the 1930s at the Cold Mountain Penitentiary’s death-row facility, The Green Mile is the riveting and tragic story of John Coffey, a giant, preternaturally gentle inmate condemned to death for the rape and murder of twin nine-year-old girls. It is a story narrated years later by Paul Edgecomb, the ward superintendent compelled to help every prisoner spend his last days peacefully and every man walk the green mile to execution with his humanity intact.Edgecomb has sent seventy-eight inmates to their date with “old sparky,” but he’s never encountered one like Coffey — a man who wants to die, yet has the power to heal. And in this place of ultimate retribution, Edgecomb discovers the terrible truth about Coffey’s gift, a truth that challenges his most cherished beliefs — and ours.Originally published in 1996 in six self-contained monthly installments, The Green Mile is an astonishingly rich and complex novel that delivers over and over again. Each individual volume became a huge success when first published, and all six were on the New York Times bestseller list simultaneously. Three years later, when Frank Darabont made The Green Mile into an award-winning movie starring Tom Hanks and Michael Clarke Duncan, the book returned to the bestseller list — and stayed there for months. And now — with a new introduction by King’s foreign agent Ralph Vicinanza, as well as the author’s own foreword — we have the first hardcover edition of this magnificent novel in which “King surpasses our expectations, leaves us spellbound and hungry for the next twist of plot” (The Boston Globe).With illustrations and a new frontispiece for this edition by Mark Geyer.

Under the Pink by Tori Amos
Genre(s): Pop, Singer Songwriter
From an Amazon Top Reviewer:
t some point in 1993, the year after her first solo record, Little Earthquakes, took both the US and UK by surprise, Tori Amos spent some time in the high desert. In Taos, New Mexico, no more (and perhaps less) than 200 miles from where I was living at the time (oh, if only I had known!), Tori recorded the tracks that would become her second masterpiece, Under the Pink. It was released the following February, to the great pleasure of yours truly and other odd people with superior taste, giving us a clear indication that this angel/daemon woman who had so blown our minds in ’92 was planning on sticking around.
Right from the beginning, Under the Pink is as offbeat and intense as its predecessor. ‘Pretty Good Year’ opens with a whisper of soft piano and sweet sarcasm, erupts into a violent wail about 2/3 of the way through, then slips back into a peaceful melody on the way out. It’s an amazing song, centred upon a letter Tori got from a male fan, complaining about how he didn’t know what women wanted, and perhaps also commenting upon the quality of 1992 from her perspective. Next on the agenda is a bracing, rhythmic piece of experimental guitar rock, appropriately titled ‘God,’ suggesting that the seemingly P.O.ed Patriarch could use some TLC from a good woman, instantly alienating all fundamentalist Christians in four minutes or less, leading all of us who love Tori to breathe a sigh of relief. At least this ensures that we won’t be pestered by pamphlet-carrying Protestants at any of her shows. . .
Next is one of the most musically gentle songs she ever wrote: ‘Bells For Her,’ which seems to be describing the difficulty of seeing either a close female friend or relative get her spirit stifled by some pushy male creature. The hauntingly mysterious ‘Past the Mission’ follows, featuring uncharacteristically soft backing vocals on the chorus from Trent Reznor. It is a beautiful song, one of my early favourites, and I refuse to even attempt to interpret its literal meaning. Listen to it, and do that for yourselves. ‘Baker Baker’ is the next one, another very pretty song detailing the difficulty of opening up to someone and being ‘whole again’ when great damage has been done to you. Those of us who know her story had no trouble interpreting this one; Tori was still dealing with the long aftershocks of a sexual assault in her past at this time. But one need not be a woman to understand this; many of us, male and female, have been hurt deeply by the aggression and general inhumanity of others, especially in a culture that rewards aggression and the tendency to distance oneself from others in so many ways. Tori has lead the way for many of us who are or were struggling to overcome one kind of other-inflicted damage or another; we are all more than grateful that she chose to share her own struggle through her art with the rest of us, as we are all closer to healing for it.
‘The Wrong Band,’ which has been described in other places as a cabaret song, is about a Washington, D.C. hooker Tori used to know who was involved with high officials and had her life threatened by them for knowing too much. It’s a subtle indictment of the gangsters and hypocrites who call themselves our leaders that cuts like a scalpel: you don’t feel it right away, but it most certainly bleeds. ‘The Waitress’ follows, a very funny song with a violent edge to it, perhaps about the kind of woman who either ignores or mistreats others of her own gender, saving all of her politeness and sweetness for men. The next song, ‘Cornflake Girl,’ is also about the evil that women do to other women; in fact, that’s a theme that permeates much of this record. ‘Icicle’ comes next, a lovely song about masturbation to the image of Christ. Ah, Tori continues her sweet overtures to the Christian right. . .
I’ve never been sure what ‘Cloud On My Tongue’ is about; I’m convinced that ‘Space Dog’ is a commentary on our Presidents in general (it reminds me very much of Bush, Sr. for some reason), but the last song will get the rest of my time here. ‘Yes, Anastasia’ is a symphonic epic from the perspective of one of the red guards who killed the Romanovs in 1918 (I think. Maybe it was 1917.), detailing the whole scene. I think it still stands as one of the best things she’s ever done. The last line is a good one not only for anyone approaching execution, but for anyone just delving into the work of Tori Amos: ‘We’ll see how brave you are.’ And I think I’ll leave you with that, encouraging you to come on in, but warning you at the same time. Can you deal with what Tori can show and tell you? Can you deal with what this music might bring up in your own heart and soul?
We’ll see how brave you are.
