In the New Series Return of C.S. ![]() ![]() For anyone who has found themselves enamored of a discipline, an author, or an idea, Rio’s book is a pleasurable reminder of what the first stirrings of intellectual passion feel like. But while the suspense provoked by this death will keep you turning the pages until late into the night, what I enjoyed most about the content of the book is the way ML Rio depicts what it feels like to fall madly in love not with a person but with a subject-in this case, literature and the plays of Shakespeare. Or I could choose the subject matter itself, which on the surface is a whodunnit that revolves around the suspicious death of a quarrelsome classmate. Dramatic by nature and training, these characters find themselves embroiled in their own heated internecine conflicts as passionate and all-consuming as the Shakespearean ones they enact on the stage. I could choose the lively and memorable characters: in Villains, we follow a group of seven friends during their last year of college at an exclusive arts conservatory. ![]() It should be hard for me to choose my favorite thing about If We Were Villains, since there are so many things to admire and enjoy about this novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On April 8, 1841, Easter gives birth to a healthy girl. to marry Elizabeth "Lizzie" Perkins, the daughter of a wealthy neighboring planter.

The premise, that evolution suddenly begins regressing and women find themselves losing their reproductive rights, was an intriguing one. I loved the process of Cedar getting in touch with her Native American heritage through meeting her birth mother and that side of her family. I don’t know why it is given to us to be so mortal and to feel so much. We are a feather falling from the wing of a bird. While I didn’t hate this book, neither was I able to love it. The premise was great, and the writing was masterful. There were elements that I really enjoyed, don’t get me wrong. I wanted to like this book way more than I actually did. ![]() Future Home of the Living God by Louise Erdrich ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even worse is dealing with the burning attraction she feels for Cole. ![]() Trying to make nice with the unexpected father of her baby lands Kelsey in Silver Creek, Oregon, dealing with the kind of small town life she left behind years ago.
