![]() Ashamed to face her queenly circle she takes off for a year and does the couch kid thing with various people (I'm okay with the taking off to regroup and not have to face painful encounters with exes) - not really detailed in novella which is basically a back-then and skip to current times thing.īack home a week before frenemy Cesca's wedding as her maid of honor (required since Kim had made Cesca hers at the canceled wedding). Gets engaged to cardboard perfect co-worker then the virginal bride-to-be loses it to first love then coworker dumps her for another reason (she of course innocent victim since coworker did not find out about the one-nighter). ![]() Meangirl/Countryclub-princess has frenemy relationships with her gal pals and an on/off thing with her first love. ![]() I did not at all like this due to plotline and characters (although to be honest characters pretty cardboard) but not badly written and the "feel" of the setting came across well. ![]() Lemme summarize the real story since it's not a sympathetic character getting dumped before the altar. Can read the ebook directly at Goodreads. ![]()

And when he sends Lucy through the wardrobe (it’s on page five – he doesn’t waste time), it’s like nothing else in fiction up to that point. ![]() Look at how he carefully sketches all the relationships between all four of the Pevensie children. He puts the shadows of the war in the background, the excitement of a new house in the country in the foreground. Look at the way he constructed the opening of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. But I don’t think Lewis gets enough credit for his craft as a writer. “Everyone knows Lewis’s Narnia books are a foundational work of the modern fantastic. ![]() His fiction is often described as literary minimalism but also draws inspiration from horror, weird fiction, detective fiction, science fiction, and continental philosophy. ![]() Evenson is an American academic and writer of both literary fiction and popular fiction, some of the latter being published under B.K.

The trans art of storytelling: ‘Nevada’ by Imogen Binnie by Emily Yang JIt’s the early 2010s in New York City, and Maria Griffiths, a trans woman in her late 20s and the protagonist of Imogen Binnie’s 2013 novel Nevada, is writing a blog post in an internet caf. Thanks again for all the wonderful love and support. Once Nevada is officially back in stock, I'll update the website with its physical store listings. If you've ever enjoyed the novel, or if you're eager in supporting Binnie, please keep a close eye on MCD and FSG Originals' news for the Nevada reprint. ![]() Given Nevada is now changing hands from one publisher to another, I've decided to remove the downloadable iterations of Nevada from this site. The reprint for Nevada assures a new group of readers will be exposed to this incredible book. Others had a listing, but were out of stock.Īs is sadly the case with small press publications, when the original publisher vanishes, the work that originated from it becomes harder to access. Several of the physical storefronts linked out in this website 404'd for copies of Nevada. As some visitors to the site may know, getting a physical print of Nevada has been very difficult over the past few years. The two days before which I spent most of reading the book in bed, lots of it drinking whiskey and/or crying and/or grinning and giggling like a dumbass. This is fantastic news, and not at a moment too soon. Pretty much the day after I finished reading Imogen Binnie’s Nevada, I decided I had to write about it. On June 2, MCD announced it will be reprinting Imogen Binnie's Nevada in fall 2022. ![]() ![]() ![]() As she learns more and more about her new family, she decorates the dollhouse with pieces that are delivered to her by a miniaturist.

The book follows Petronella Oortman as she moves from her countryside town to the city of Amsterdam, to live in the house of her new husband. It’s a wonderful story that I read in one day, only putting it down long enough to make a cup of tea occasionally. My mum has had it sitting on the shelf since it came out in paperback, and I thought I’d give it a read. This book is one of those that everyone tells you that you should read, and for some perverse reason, you kind of want to, despite having no real interest in it. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The combination of art, death and small town secrets makes for a sinister, complex tale that I could not put down.
