Signaletics pits the measured against the immeasurable, the body against identity, and the political against the personal. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It's not known how many of the units are occupied by owners, but it appears that many units are summer rentals. ![]() Book Cover for I Dont Want To Kill You by Dan Wells.

I thought about a fedora, but then I remembered people had differently shaped heads and there was no point sending somebody an item of clothing they wouldn’t be able to wear. I had a bit of trouble choosing a prize for this one because most of the things Kate likes (booze, cigarettes, knives, women) are illegal to ship internationally. There’s also some kind of contest type thing happening. If you’d like to come with me and keep me company on my virtual wanderings, you can find a full listing of when and where I am here. And, to you, dear reader, for stopping by. Yay! Thank you so much to Book Reviews and More by Kathy for hosting me. Hello, and welcome to my second ever blog tour, celebrating Riptide Publishing’s release of my second ever novel, IRON & VELVET. ![]() ![]() ![]() I'd definitely be picking this up when it's collected. More accounts of Batman's death and then Batman's alone at his own funeral. The second half wasn't quite as good as the first but still very very good. ![]() Based on the first half, I'm giving it a four for now. Now I have to either wait a month until the second half comes out or wait until the collection comes out. The best part, in my opinion, is that Adam Kubert draws the different parts of the story in the styles of artists of other time periods. Since he wasn't having much luck fighting crime, Alfred hired some of his actor friends to be Batman's rogue's gallery, with Alfred himself portraying the Joker! In the second, Alfred tells about Bruce going off the deep end and becoming Batman after his parents died. ![]() In the first story, Catwoman gives her tale of her relationship with Batman and how he died, bleeding to death on her couch after a freak gunshot wound. Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader is a good example. The thing I've always liked about Neil Gaiman's comics are that they're about something. ![]() His friends and foes are assembled to give their respects and tell how Batman died. So there's a funeral in a church in crime alley. So I'm caving in and getting the individual issues for this. ![]() ![]() One of his later works, that novel was described in a blurb as following the adventures of “four supremely sensual and unspeakably cerebral humans – two male, two female”, who “find themselves under attack from aliens who want their awesome quantum breakthrough”. According to publisher Phoenix Pick, which worked with the Heinlein Prize Trust to reconstruct the text, Heinlein wrote it as an alternate version of 1980’s The Number of the Beast. Heinlein was a major figure in 20th-century science fiction, the author of works including Starship Troopers, Stranger in a Strange Land and The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. An unpublished book by Robert A Heinlein, which provides a completely new ending to the author’s controversial novel The Number of the Beast, has been reconstructed from notes and typed manuscript pages left behind by the Hugo award-winning author. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kuang’s TikTok also revealed that the “short thing” could come out as early as August, so Harper Voyager and/or Kuang will likely tie this prequel story into promotional events for Babel. On August 23, her fourth novel and first non-Poppy Wars novel, Babel or The Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators’ Revolution releases. ![]() If you’re confused as to why editors needed to be involved, Kuang is already on at least one (that we’re aware of) contract. can’t stop thinking about him (him: Jiang Ziya) #thepoppywar #rfkuang #jiangziya #booktok #authorsoftiktok #enterbabel ♬ original sound – Rebecca F. Kuang’s caption reveals that of the Trifecta, the Gatekeeper (Jiang Ziya) remains at the forefront of her mind. She states that there “will be a short thing, and then hopefully a longer thing.” The “short thing” could be a novella or just not a tome (thick book.) The Poppy War trilogy runs from 544 to 672 pages. Heavy themes of war, colonization, racism, colorism, genocide, cycles of abuse, and so many different types of trauma are never shied away from. ![]() Four days later, Kuang let us know that her editors greenlight the Trifecta prequel stories moving forward. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Osgreys are in dispute over land with the neighbouring House Webber of Coldmoat, a much larger and grander castle.
