Having won himself a legion of devoted followers during his run on Batgirl just before the launch of the New 52, it's perhaps not surprising that the smartly-written Smallville Season Eleven has found an audience, or that Miller is using it as an opportunity to write a Superman book where the character can have some fun. Miller has announced that Wonder Woman is on her way to the CW Network's comic book spinoff-but the currently-ongoing arc has been fresh and fun, which is in keeping with Miller's sensibilities.

Coates uses Hiram's memory as a way to explore the history of slavery and its lasting impact on the present day, highlighting the importance of remembering and acknowledging the past in order to move forward.Īnother important theme in the novel is family, and the ways in which slavery disrupted and destroyed familial bonds. Hiram's ability to remember everything he sees and hears is both a blessing and a curse, as it allows him to recall the moments of joy and pain in his life, but also forces him to confront the trauma of slavery and the loss of his mother. One of the key themes explored in the novel is memory, and how it shapes our identity and understanding of the world around us. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Her new book Strong As A Mother: How to Stay Healthy, Happy, and (Most Importantly) Sane from Pregnancy to Parenthood: The Only Guide to Taking Care of is out now and we cannot recommend it enough!Ĭheck out our book!

What then had been insignificant, as weightless as air, a series of events dissolving in exactly the same way as the darkness dissolved in the mornings, would twenty years on seem laden with destiny and fate.” That one day i would look back on my life and this would be what I looked back on. This was by no means strange, since right from starting school at the age of seven I’d been surrounded by hundreds of children and adults people were a renewable resource, found in abundance, but what I didn’t know, or rather had absolutely no conception of, was that every step I took was defining me, every person I encountered leaving their mark on me, and that the life I was living at that particular time, boundlessly arbitrary as it seemed, was in fact my life. ![]() When I was sixteen, I thought that life was without end, the number of people in it inexhaustible. ![]() “The number of people we come close to during our lives is small, and we fail to realise how infinitely important each and every one of them is to us until we grow older and can see things from afar. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Rosemary resolves to lose the weight, but her journey turns out to be about everything but fat.

"Wilson's training as a roboticist makes accepting a ubiquitous robot presence natural to the author it also helps him imagine and describe some amazing machines, efficient, logically designed and utterly inimical to human life. It's especially refreshing to read an end-of-the-world novel that's actually self-contained, that doesn't require the investment in two or three more thick volumes to deliver the apocalyptic goods." ![]() Robopocalypse is a well-constructed entertainment machine, perfect for summer reading. Science fiction has been grappling with the possibility of traitorous computers and mutinous androids for much of its history, but Wilson has devised a way to put an original spin on the material.
