So, you can just imagine how happy I was when I heard that Ellen Oh and Elsie Chapman, both from #WeNeedDiverseBooks, were coming out with a collection of short stories based on South, East and Southeast Asian myths and folklore. I’ve read about Hercules and Bernardo Carpio, Helen of Troy and Malakas at Maganda at school, but somehow, whenever I browse through the shelves of my favorite local bookstore, there are so few books about the latter – books with characters with similar names to mine, characters who physically resemble my black hair and brown eyes and brown skin.Įven now, at a time when authors and publishers seriously take into account diversity in their works and books, there’s still a big gap.

I have gradually grown to love Monica Murphy’s writing, the way the story revolved mostly around the protagonists. Happy ever after is not far when love knocks on both their hearts. And then there’s the good news on the horizon though the danger still lurks. The formidable Constantine mother strikes back in this one though, but it’s only for a small part. Them being there for each other made this story feel the longest among the books in this trilogy, in a wonderful way. ![]() Keeping her safe, making her feel cherished. ![]() I loved every moment of this story, where Perry is constantly doting over Charlotte. But it was even better that Charlotte saved herself! I always love reading about a heroine who kicks ass. A moodboard inspired by the book, shared by Valentine PR ReviewĬharlotte’s uncertainty over Perry broke my heart and Perry’s wavering resolve was not that good in the face of the danger Charlotte found herself in. ![]() ![]() ![]() Her only chance to retrieve it is to break into Greenoaks while everyone is busy celebrating. Effie declines, but then remembers a beloved childhood treasure is still hidden in the house. ![]() When Krista decides to throw a grand "house cooling" party, Effie is originally left off the guest list-and then receives a last-minute "anti-invitation" (maybe it's because she called Krista a gold-digger, but Krista totally deserved it, and it was mostly a joke anyway). And now, more earth-shattering news: Greenoaks, the rambling Victorian country house Effie called home her whole life, has been sold. Since then, she's become estranged from her father and embarked on a feud with his hot (and much younger) girlfriend, Krista. It's been over two years since Effie's beloved parents got divorced, destroying the image of the happy, loving childhood she thought she had.

Instead, Penguin chooses to highlight the book’s translator, Ginny Tapley Takemori, who translated a bestselling single-female Japanese novel, Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata. Penguin could have imitated the cover of the She and Her Cat manga, published several years ago by Vertical. There’s no “From the director of Your Name” cover tag, nor any attempt to suggest anime in the cover picture. It’s published in English by Penguin, which has decided not to play up its links to a feted anime film director. Now the film has a “novelisation”, more precisely a novella building on the film’s starting point. The film shows the close relationship between a woman and her cat, narrated from the cat’s adoring viewpoint. It’s on Anime Limited’s edition of Voices and Place Promised in Our Early Days. She and Her Cat was one of the first animated films by Makoto Shinkai, five minutes of software-aided monochrome that he made mostly by himself, three years before Voices of a Distant Star. ![]() ![]() ![]() Of which country is William Shakespeare the national poet? This isn’t a trick question: he was born in 1564 during the reign of Elizabeth I, the last Anglo-Welsh queen of England, but when he died in 1616 he was a subject of James VI and I, the Scottish king of a new entity tentatively called Britain which didn’t yet legally exist. ![]() ![]() ![]() Notably, the chapter on 'How Analysis Can Help Design' has been redeveloped to clearly explain this crucially important aspect of study to a beginner readership.
