![]() ![]() ![]() I'm surprised I got through this book, especially considering one of the most glaring flaws was characterization. This is an even better setup for intrigue and sizzle than the setup in Jane Eyre! But, believe you me, this book ain't no Jane Eyre. There was a great deal of potential in the plot, such as: a governess who stumbles upon a secret is forced to remain as a mute in the secret-holder's household. ![]() The plot was bland, the conflict was bland, the romance was bland (not because of the lack of, um, physical carnality but because there was not even a fizzle-much less a spark- between the two characters), and the characters were bland. Upon finishing, I still hold to that statement. I noted while I was reading that this book was like vanilla pudding with vanilla sprinkles on a very vanilla day. ![]() ![]() Network pharmacology-based prediction of the active ingredients and potential targets Tao W(1), Xu X, Wang X, Li B, Wang Y, Li Y, Yang L.

There are a few which are not available on Amazon so I linked to Fishpond in those cases, though just a few seem to be sadly out of print. I know several people found some fun books in our Wall of Short YA Books so I hope some of you find one or two new Australian YA books to read from this post. I am almost certainly missing some very important people but it is late and my mind is mush. I'd also love to recommend some other Australian blogs and reviewers that regularly feature Aussie fiction: Vegan YA Nerds, Belle's Bookshelf, Maree's Musings, Inkcrush, Trinity, Reynje, and Emily. I'd like to thank Kat from Cuddlebuggery for helping me add in some of the data.

While I've included over 100 different Aussie YA books in this Wall of Books, there are hundreds more left out. The idea of belonging is a dynamic and an essential aspect of human life which can come through, due to the connections made with the concepts of identity, place, relationships, acceptance and understanding to oneself and other people. While researching that post, I realized how very vast the choices were and how much we had left to explore. Earlier this week, we highlighted some of our favorite Australian young adult authors and books and many that we are excited to try in the future. ![]() ![]() ![]() I am very ugly and need to go into an ugly home.Ħ.

She becomes immortal, a gift that she does not want in light of her lover's inability to share it, and then she must yield him up when fate calls upon him to reenter the Trojan War. True to the legend, this Philoctetes has been abandoned by his crew mates because of a snake bite-but instead of spending the next 10 years letting his wounds fester, per the Sophoclean model, this hero falls in love with an equally adoring Sirena. There she meets the Greek warrior Philoctetes (the subject of a famous play by Sophocles). ![]() Sirena, however, exiles herself from this grim mating game and winds up on the island of Lemnos. Offered immortality if they can win a man's love, Sirena's mermaid sisters use their silvery voices to lure sailors to them even though it will cause the sailors certain death. A lengthy, even laborious set-up invents a genealogy for mermaids within Greek mythology (at least, this appears invented there are no source notes). Like its mermaid heroine, this uneven novel is something of a hybrid: a romantic fantasy imposed atop a classical legend. ![]() |
