A carousel is mentioned in the book and there’s a kind of creepy horse on it, but it does nothing and they do nothing with it. It looks like the Hungarian version of the book or something. The third I found completely by accident over on Paperback Swap and my goodness. It’s more sinister than the original, but those goofy fangs have got to go. The cover is actually holographic and really ridiculous looking, but I like how shiny it is. It actually got donated to my library and I snagged it right up. The second is the edition I’m reading, the collector’s edition (borrowed from its Amazon page). The concept of vampires on the beach could be a fun one, and they gave a fairly generic cover. Her skin is the same color as the sky, and the blood dots look glued on. It’s just not very dynamic or interesting. The bat looks goofy, and the sexy lady on the beach is both interesting and not. I managed to find three images for this! The first is the original cover (borrowed from this Fear Street blog), which I go back and forth on.

This is the age range when many young people stop using the library and lose interest in reading. This collection complements Anderson's previous collection, Serving Older Teens, by focusing on the needs of tweens and young teens, ages 11-14. Libraries have traditionally offered a variety programs and services for YAs, and although more emphasis has been given to serving teens in recent years, little has been done to distinguish between groups within the category, and meet the specific developmental needs of this broad range of library users. If someone is described as a young adult, what image comes to mind? In fact, a young adult can be a twelve-year-old middle-schooler or a high school graduate. Brimming with valuable insights and fresh ideas, as well as nuts and bolts directions, this is a must read for all librarians who work with young adolescents. Anderson, James Rosinia, Deb Taylor, Robyn Lupa, and Kristine Mahood. Topics range from understanding adolescent informational needs and building and promoting a winning collection, to creating programs with tween appeal.

He gives up and goes home, but just then a policeman shows up with the nose. Kovalev first tries to get the police involved and then tries to put an announcement in the paper, but all he gets for his troubles is a lot of social awkwardness and rudeness.įinally, he decides that this is obviously the work of the mother of a girl he's been flirting with but not actually proposing to. The nose denies being his nose and goes about its day like a total weirdo. Kovalev follows the nose, but when he gets close enough to talk to him (it?), he gets all stressy about speaking to someone so much higher ranking. Suddenly, on the street, he sees a highly decorated civil servant get out of a carriage and go into a mansion, and is shocked to realize-it's his nose. He is embarrassed about having to go outside like this and covers his face with a handkerchief. That same day, Collegiate Assessor Kovalev wakes up and realizes that his nose is gone. After some misadventures in the streets, the barber ends up throwing it away into the river. Still, the barber's wife gets mad at her husband's carelessness, drunkenness, and general crappiness, and she demands that he take the nose away. Neither of them is particularly grossed out by this. He recognizes the nose-it belongs to one of his clients, Collegiate Assessor Kovalev. One morning, a barber and his wife are munching on some breakfast when he finds a nose in his bread roll. To mark Pet Sematary’s 40th anniversary, the Folio Society is releasing a new edition featuring 11 genuinely chilling illustrations by Edward Kinsella, as well as “an eerie endpaper design featuring a spiral of epitaphs taken from the Pet Sematary itself.” The release is part of the Folio Society’s Summer Collection titles, which also include Anthony Burgess’ A Clockwork Orange and Earthsea series entry Tehanu by Ursula K. Released in 1983 - following titles like Carrie, ‘Salem’s Lot, The Shining, The Stand, The Dead Zone, Firestarter, Cujo, and that same year’s Christine - Pet Sematary only helped burnish Stephen King’s reputation as America’s most terrifying author, and the book’s capacity for causing nightmares only increased with Mary Lambert’s 1989 film adaptation. The prose in ‘Convenience Store Woman’ is much easier to digest compared to the other book I read for Women in Translation month Flights by Olga Tokarczuk. She feels under pressure from others, particularly her family, to appear “normal” and meet society’s expectations, by which she must find a career with more prospects or get married and have children. Translated from the Japanese by Ginny Tapley Takemori, ‘Convenience Store Woman’ by Sayaka Murata tells the story of Keiko Furukura, a socially awkward woman in her mid-thirties who has been working at the Hiiromachi Station Smile Mart shop for the past eighteen years.
