And she also manages to work in a murder mystery – or actually, three murder mysteries – along the way.Īs I mentioned in my review of the previous book in the series, Meg’s role in all this drama is as the “sane one”, and in Round Up, she’s sane enough to want to avoid getting roped into the ever-expanding preparations for her brother’s fast approaching wedding. The Meg Langslow series is one of a very few series that I have to read by myself, because I end up unexpectedly laughing out loud at least a couple of times in every book – and often more than a couple! And in Round Up the Usual Peacocks, author Donna Andrews does, as usual, a wonderful job of weaving together Meg’s offbeat family and friends, their odd assortment of jobs and hobbies, and their even odder collection of animals – including the titular peacocks (who happen to be cranky because they are molting), multiple llamas (also cranky from time to time), several chickens (who knows if they are cranky, but they sure can sound like it)…well, you get the idea. Peacocks and weddings and some not-so-cold crime… Since 2009, when it first published, to today, Bluets has drawn scores of readers with its surprising insights into the emotional depths that make us most human-via 240 short pieces, at once lyrical and philosophical, on the color blue.

This autobiography reveals the depth and complexity of Pryor's life and personality. I'm much more impressed with the performance than I expected to be. Are you *kidding* me? No, JD Jackson doesn't have Richard Pryor's voice - he's not an impressionist - but for me, he's captured Pryor's rhythm and heart with amazing skill. Unsurprising when you consider that the raw honesty sees subjects such as being abused as a child, racism, being an abuser of women himself, and living with MS come up. No, of course it's not Richard Pryor was a human being, and this is his honest autobiography! There *are* plenty of laughs, but no, not every page is stuffed with them. Okay, so, to address the two most common gripes in other reviews: 1) "It's not a laugh a minute!". The cover really sealed to deal on making me want to try the book.

Gilded Cage by Vic James is the second book that I bought at Dutch Comic Con earlier this year to have it signed. My personal jail is my body, with the chronic pain restricting what I can do. Have you ever had the feeling you lost your freedom? Either as a teenager when your parents didn’t allow you to go to that one party you really needed to be? Or maybe you’ve done something you shouldn’t have and ended up in jail, for the night or longer? Not all jails, or caged, are made of metal and brick though. They will all discover whether any magic is more powerful than the human spirit. But their destinies entwine when one family enters the service of the other. The families have only one thing in common: Each has three children. In its glittering milieu move the all-powerful Jardines and the everyday Hadleys. This is the darkly decadent world of Gilded Cage. Do them young, and you’ll never get over them. Do those years when you’re old, and you’ll never get through them. If you’re not one of the ultimate one-percenters-the magical elite-you owe them ten years of service. In modern-day Britain, magic users control everything: wealth, politics, power-and you.
