The wemmicks you are special6/30/2023 Each quirk, however distinguishing or subtle, was etched in Eli’s woodworking shop. His quest for identity, value and purpose becomes the plot of this short story and its dynamic message of redemption.Įli is an almost mythical craftsman whose workshop on the hill is the creative studio for all life in the world of the Wemmicks. As Punchinello’s dots accrue, and along with them their stinging stigma, they quickly become his shame. These appear on the Wemmicks that are pretty and smooth, with fine paint. Stars, on the other hand, signify beauty and appearance, however gilded and worldly they may be. Each of Punchinello’s shortcomings are easily spotted by his peers and labeled accordingly by dots, which are placed all over his body. Lucado’s fable follows Punchinello, a clumsy Wemmick very unlike most others. In the world of Wemmicks, the population is comprised of small wooden people (Wemmicks), each unique but with a common creator, the woodworker. It’s not often that we review children’s books but Max Lucado’s ‘You Are Special’ proved to be a special case worthy of consideration. You may not find the biblical message of identity more artfully portrayed than in this mini book. Max Lucado provides just that and more with this illustrated book that’s elementary yet transformational. Sometimes it takes child-like allegory to fully grasp the craftsmanship and careful touch of our Father. Max Lucado delivers a surprisingly powerful and redemptive message in this children’s story, a suggested read for youngsters and adults alike.

Stone Mad by Elizabeth Bear6/30/2023 The steampunk elements are quite toned down, presumably because of the space, but the bits that we do get are well set up and dramatic, and I enjoyed them a lot! Instead, we get a little more folklore, which is great when the characters can acknowledge that tommy-knockers and jackalopes are probably real, but ghosts and Spiritualism might be a step too far. In this, the action is very local and personal, and the drama is mainly interpersonal instead of conspiracy, which makes for a somewhat different tone to the action and consequences. The first book covered schemes and murders that stretched across North America at least, even though the majority of the action took place in Rapid City. Stone Mad is really different in scale to Karen Memory. In Stone Mad, Karen and Priya are settling into their life together and celebrating their new ranch with a night out for dinner and a magic show – except that their dinner companions happen to be a widowed sceptic and illusionist, a pair of Spiritualists who might be sisters and are almost certainly con women, and whatever is haunting the hotel’s dining room. Stone Mad is the sequel to Elizabeth Bear’s Karen Memory ( which I reviewed here last month!), so there might be some unavoidable spoilers for Karen Memory from here on out! The Dancer: Streetwise Cordelia Lehane, burlesque performer at the Bumble Bee Cabaret and Aristide’s runner, could be the key to Cyril’s plans-if she can be trusted. The Spy: Covert agent Cyril DePaul thinks he’s good at keeping secrets, but after a disastrous mission abroad, he makes a dangerous choice to protect himself…and hopefully Aristide too. By night, he moves drugs and refugees under the noses of crooked cops. A double-agent sacrifices all his ideals in order to save his smuggler lover before a government coup takes over their decadent city in Lara Elena Donnelly’s glam spy thriller debut, a Nebula finalist for Best Novel! “Exploring the roots of hatred, nationalism, and fascism, while at the same time celebrating the diversity, love, romance, fashion, and joy the world is capable of producing.” -Bookriot Introducing… The Smuggler: By day, Aristide Makricosta is the emcee for Amberlough City’s top nightclub. |
