The Batman family's rogues gallery has been well received, and is often considered to be one of the greatest superhero rogues galleries of all comic books. Many characters from Batman's rogues gallery who are criminally insane become patients at Arkham Asylum after they are apprehended. As with most superheroes, a cast of recurring enemies to the Batman family have been introduced throughout the years, collectively referred to as Batman's " rogues gallery". Since Batman first appeared in Detective Comics #27 (May 1939), his supporting cast has expanded to include other superheroes, and has become what is now called the " Bat-family". These characters are depicted as adversaries of the superhero Batman and his allies.

She wrote a romantic adventure “One for the Money”, the first Stephanie Plum mystery novel.

The book was published as Hero at Large in 1987 under the pseudonym Steffie Hall.

Being a trained biologist, and having spent a fair amount of time in the hallways of the Zoological Museum in Copenhagen while writing a (yet unfinished) thesis, the term "Natural History Heist" tickled something in me. The subtitle reads "Beauty, Obsession, and the Natural History Heist of the Century" written on a tag like the ones used for biological field samples. The book called my name the moment I saw its cover. This book is in some ways in the crime genre, but written in the more contemporary "true crime" style, where an author unravels the behavior, background, actions, environment and mind of a criminal. The template is very much the same, and the writing often mediocre. I'm not a huge fan of the latter two genres, mainly because many crime and thriller novels simply aren't good. Second on my list is science fiction, third is various non-fiction (often scientific) books and somewhere around fourth or fifth comes crime and thrillers. My major book consumption is within fly fishing and fly tying. With a couple of heartbreaks under her belt, she’s long abandoned the search for love, settling instead for the occasional hook-up, career success, and a close relationship with her stepfather to round out a satisfying life.īut when Sally’s friend and fellow writer Danny Horst begins dating Annabel, a glamorous actor who guest-hosted the show, he joins the not-so-exclusive group of talented but average-looking and even dorky men at the show-and in society at large-who’ve gotten romantically involved with incredibly beautiful and accomplished women.

She expects Kimi to be a painter as well, but Kimi is more interested in clothing design (Kimi insists that this is “just a hobby”). Kimi’s mom is a painter who sacrificed for years before she was finally able to turn her full attention to painting. Consequently, Kimi has never met her maternal grandparents. However, Kimi’s mother defied her own parents when she married someone who was born in America as opposed to someone born in Japan. Kimi knows her father’s family and has heard their stories about internment during WWII and other challenges they faced. The set up is that Kimi’s mom was born in Japan, and Kimi’s father is a fourth-generation Japanese American. If this was the book’s goal, it has succeeded. Kimi is a likeable and engaging heroine, everything is gorgeous, and now I’m hungry and want to go to Japan. In the process she connects with her Japanese grandparents, meets A BOY, sees cool stuff, makes things, and eats fantastic food. In this book, Kimi, a Japanese-American high school senior, visits Japan to Find Herself. I Love You So Mochi is an adorable YA with a romance in it, although it’s more of a coming of age story than a romance novel. Not to spoil anything, but at the end of the book there’s an entire section where the author talks to his kids about how to be good people, and it is wonderful. And maybe more importantly how to teach his young children how to be the best they can be. “How To Be Perfect” is a semi-biographical story about a TV writer who goes on a journey through moral philosophy to try to figure out how to be a better person. Sold as a fun book about ethics from the creator of the TV show “ The Good Place,” this is actually a solid introduction to the academic subject of ethics, sprinkled with humour and real-life anecdotes to make it relatable. If ever I teach an intro to moral philosophy class, this book will be prerequisite reading. While the book doesn’t teach you how to be perfect, you’ll be a better person for reading it. If Newton’s work was controversial, I believe it’s because he expressed the contradictions within all of us, and particularly within the women he photographed so beautifully: empowerment mixed with vulnerability, sensuality tempered by depravity. “Helmut Newton is one of the most powerful and influential photographers of the past century – the place where art and fashion and subversion and aspiration all collide. The exhibition was originally organized by Manfred Heiting for the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Images from Newton’s first three books – White Women, Sleepless Nights and Big Nudes – will be on view June 29 through September 8, 2013. Big Nudes, featuring the work of the revolutionary fashion photographer is the first exhibition of Helmut Newton’s work outside of gallery shows in Los Angeles, his long-time winter residence. What pulls the stories together, and what I found more interesting than the puzzles posed, is the way Poirot and Hastings are revealed to us. The only thing that they have in common is that they let Hercule Poirot play his part of Magician Detective, the man who can and does solve crimes while sitting at his desk with his eyes closed. We have spies, blackmailers, jewel thieves, cursed Egyptian tombs, a kidnapped Prime Minister and opportunistic but devilishly cunning murders. The subjects of the stories range widely. They are short, energetic, playful pieces, all centring around Poirot’s brilliance in solving apparently unsolvable puzzles.Īt an average of fifteen pages per story, there isn’t a lot of space for anything more than exposition, investigation and resolution – think the kind of thirty-minute TV mystery shows that were pumped out in the 1970’s – but they’re delivered with brio, self-confidence and humour that makes them engaging. ‘Poirot Investigates’, originally published in 1924, is a collection of fourteen Poirot stories, told over 211 pages. |
