So excited that I’m coming out of my cave to do a few book signings so that you can get personalized Christmas books for your reader friends. But I am so excited about the release of my hardcover edition of Edenbrooke with Heir to Edenbrooke included. Yes, it has been way too long since I updated here.

Totally true and achingly honest, with every cringe-inducing encounter and exhilarating first moment documented - Awkward and Definition is an unflinching look at what it's like being a teenage girl in America. With anxiety in excess and frustration to the fullest, Ariel dives in - meeting new people, going to concerts, crushing out, loving chemistry, drawing comics, and obsessing over everything from glitter-laden girls to ionic charges and the constant pursuit of the number-one score. She has also written for television series on HBO and Showtime. She is the author of the novel Adam, and the graphic memoirs Awkward, Definition, Potential, and Likewise. Some friends thrilled to see themselves in the comic, others not so much, but everyone was interested.Īwkward chronicles Ariel's freshman year, and Definition, her sophomore year.

Ariel Schrag captures the American high school experience in all its awkward, questioning glory in Awkward and Definition, the first of three amazingly honest autobiographical graphic novels about her teenage years.ĭuring the summer following each year at Berkeley High School in California, Ariel wrote a comic book about her experiences, which she would then photocopy and sell around school. It’s astounding to me that they were all the same book.”–Samit Basu, author of Turbulence and Chosen Spirits “I just read a spy thriller, a comedy of manners, an action-adventure joyride, a post-war 20s class novel and a very turbulent romance. Slippery Creatures is fun, clever, sexy and utterly engrossing.” - All About Romance “A terrific, perfectly-paced read with action, adventure, dastardly villains, a high-stakes plot and a pair of captivating protagonists.

Will Darling came back from the Great War with a few scars, a lot of medals, and no idea what to do next. Rome and Carthage had previously fought two long wars. While the First Punic War (264–241 BC) centered on Sicily, the Second Punic War (218–201 BC) engulfed Iberia, North Africa, Sicily, Sardinia and mainland Italy. Scipio, believing Carthage’s doom was the ultimate fate of all great nations and empires, expressed his fear Rome would one day suffer a similar fate. Observing the city in its death throes, he began to weep and quoted aloud a line from the Iliad: “The day shall come in which our sacred Troy, and Priam, and the people over whom spear-bearing Priam rules, shall perish all.” Polybius was at Scipio’s side when he spoke Homer’s words and asked what the consul meant by them.

And…I’m here to tell you it absolutely does-and then some. It’s been over three years since Ninth House, the first book in bestselling author Leigh Bardugo’s adult dark academia fantasy series based on a scrappy Yale college student with the ability to see the dead hit shelves, so you might be forgiven for wondering if, after so much time has passed, the sequel could possibly live up to the expectations readers undoubtedly had for it. |
