I couldn’t have done this without your love & support. This is the end of my 47 1/2 yr ABC journey and it was “the ride of a lifetime.” Enormous thanks to my colleagues & fellow cast members & special thanks to my wife Willow & my 4 children: Katie, Amanda, Max & Will. He ended with the acknowledgment, “I couldn’t have done this without your love & support.” The Disney boss continued with thank you’s to “my colleagues & fellow cast members & special thanks to my wife Willow & my 4 children: Katie, Amanda, Max & Will.” In his last day at Disney, executive chariman Bob Iger took to Twitter to reflect on his “47 1/2 yr ABC journey.” Iger, 70, called it “the ride of a lifetime” and, given it lasted nearly 50 years, that’s more than a figurative statement. ![]() ![]() “an authentic and powerful entry point into the original play.” “an adaptation both respectful and daring.” Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books starred review “a must-have companion to Shakespeare’s original.” “an essential addition to Shakespeare collections” ![]() “Stellar… you can almost feel the damp chill of the Scottish Highlands in the silvery-green palette, and as the murdered corpses pile up, the warm oranges of the candlelit castle interiors inevitably tinge toward the blood-red at the center of the story” - The New York Times Review of Books But “blood will have blood,” and when others grow suspicious of his sudden rise to power, is Macbeth prepared to commit more murders to keep the crown?”Ģ015, Candlewick Press 2015, 144 pp., full color – ORDER A SIGNED COPYįor more samples, see Amazon’s “Look Inside” At the urging of his wife, he resolves to take the throne by the most direct path: a dagger in the heart of King Duncan.

Opening sentence: The memory of the public is short. I have to admit that I didn’t actually do the February read for the challenge as I started it and just wasn’t feeling it… Life is definitely too short for reading books you’re not enjoying, even if they are part of a reading challenge! But this was not the case with Lord Edgware Dies: I thoroughly enjoyed this, the ninth Poirot story. Whenever I start a new Agatha book it’s a mix of trepidation (will I like it?) and wonder (how does she keep thinking of these ingenious plots?) ![]() This year I decided to do the Agatha Christie reading challenge and Lord Edgware Dies ticks the box for the March theme: ‘a story starring a society figure’. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here's looking forward to this September and "The Wake of the Lorelei Lee!" Read more ![]() I like Jacky just too much to stop! And while I'm not wild about Jamie, I'd like to see a happy ending for the two of them. ![]() This book moved fairly quickly and didn't hold me in the same way of previous adventures, particularly "In the Belly of the Bloodhound" or "Under the Jolly Roger." That being said, I will continue to read the Bloody Jack books. However, I feel like the series is dragging just a little. She's strong, tough, resourceful, and has an excellent sense of humor. Jacky is a phenomenal character and the sort of person I wish I was a little more like. I've also finally caught up to the end of the series, and now have to wait for the next book. go listen to it!This is one of my favorite YA series, which feels weird to say, because I normally can't stand historical fiction. Katherine Kellgren is amazing and the accents and music bring the story to life in a way you don't get from reading the print version. Just as a note to start, this is one of the best books/series to listen to. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though Jimmy Jo finds that he enjoys the limelight, he is worried about leaving his grandmother behind at home and he feels desperate not to let the kids at his new school find out he's a star.

He happily trades technological talk for discussions about accomplishing the perfect tan. During his childhood, Sedaris is aware that he is his father's opposite, but like his sisters, shares his more creative and less cerebral personality with his mother. In Part 1, Sedaris introduces himself with stories from his childhood where unwelcome sessions with a speech teacher and a music teacher reveal that he feels like he doesn't fit in. The book is divided into two parts, and with a few exceptions, focuses on the early part of Sedaris's life in the first half, and the more recent years of his life while living in France in the second half. ![]() The essays are strung together with Sedaris's candid manner and a persistent language theme.

As soon as the poem was published its popularity was assured. Longfellow began Hiawatha on June 25, 1854, he completed it on March 29, 1855, and it was published November 10, 1855. It was this latter revision that Longfellow used as the basis for The Song of Hiawatha. Jane and her mother are credited with having researched, authenticated, and compiled much of the material Schoolcraft included in his Algic Researches (1839) and a revision published in 1856 as The Myth of Hiawatha. Jane was a daughter of John Johnston, an early Irish fur trader, and O-shau-gus-coday-way-qua (The Woman of the Green Prairie), who was a daughter of Waub-o-jeeg (The White Fisher), who was Chief of the Ojibway tribe at La Pointe, Wisconsin. ![]() Schoolcraft married Jane, O-bah-bahm-wawa-ge-zhe-go-qua (The Woman of the Sound Which the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky), Johnston.

The Song of Hiawatha is based on the legends and stories of many North American Indian tribes, but especially those of the Ojibway Indians of northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. ![]() |
