the poem 'crows' steals breath. it is prose. it is poetry. it is gorgeous. he was a georgetown u. lannan visiting writer, my sophomore year. as i recall, soft spoken.
I'm hoping to start some remodel work on my house this fall. With that in mind I picked up this book, it's qualifications being - it's a mystery and although it's fiction it deals with home repair (the first in the Home Repair is Homicide series) and it was sitting on my library's bookshelf. So I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it's a pretty good book. A 'cozy' set in Eastport Maine. I looked it up and the town is real. Apparently NPR did an interview with some of the locals back in 2008 about their reaction to these books being set in their town - no one could remember an actual murder ever occurring on the island but they like the books and the tourism it brings to Eastport. I may have to visit the island myself someday. The 'dead cat bounce' refers to a temporary rise in a stock's trading price after a sharp drop. The protagonist, Jacobia Tiptree, is a former wall street executive who now applies her talents to fixing up her old house and solving murders.
I adore this book because of sentences like this: "She smiles and the smile lets tears out of her eyes and they run down her face like it is a race to her chin." At first the lack of punctuation bothered me, now I just think it adds to it. I want to read everything Matt Haig has ever written.
I purchased this book for as I looked around trying to find a good study bible which teens would enjoy reading. I had thought this would be perfect, but most of the additional information is either too short or not very interesting. In the end it never ended up on the shelves of our youth group room.
