![]() ![]() When you were a teenager, what did you think you’d be when you grew up? This week, I’m so pleased that Karen took a few minutes out of her very busy schedule to chat with us about superpowers, sea cucumbers and a violinist-literary-agent named Simon who helped Karen get her big break. It’s a little Hunger Games, a little Divergent and a whole lotta page-turning suspenseful fun. It made me wonder about some of my life choices.Īnd then I was even more impressed when I read DOVE ARISING, the first in a YA trilogy about a young teenage girl living in a futuristic colony on the moon who has to join the militia in order to help free her mother from jail and protect her siblings. Here was a young woman who was studying science at a prestigious college full-time and writing novels faster than I could go through a Costco supply of paper towels. ![]() After chatting a little bit, she confessed that she was 19 - NINETEEN! - in college at Columbia in New York City, and that this was the first book of a trilogy she was working on. We were signing our debut books at tables next to each other and I couldn’t help but think that she was either really young, or knew about some miracle face cream that I needed to get in on. I first met Karen Bao last fall when we both attended SIBA together. ![]()

It's gorgeous and thoughtful for how it handles the scenes and the light, the movement of camera and the capturing of space. It's about the effect and the final "truth" that this movie manages in a short two hours. It's not about the text, the facts, the truth of the translation to film. I think the biggest first point is this: to be true to Austen, you must find a way to put us there, to make us feel it. But I switched after an hour to this one, which I had seen before. ![]() ![]() And it is so poorly filmed (visually) and so utterly about recreating the text (the Austen original), it ends up being awkward and sort of awful. Pride and Prejudice (2005) I began my Pride and Prejudice attempt with the well regarded 1995 five hour classic with Colin Firth, a BBC mini-series. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It is up to her to save her father and Hagenheim itself from a wicked plot. Margaretha knows she could never be a spy-she unable to keep anything secret-though what she soon discovers changes her romantic notions not about Claybrook but possibly Colin as well.

Romance, intrigue, and danger abound in this five-book bind-up of Melanie Dickersons bestselling fairy-tale retellings. Margaretha convinces herself "Lord Colin" is just addled. Sounding breathless, she said, You are too handsome for anyone I. And only Margaretha understands the wild story. Now Her expression was sober, almost frightened. But then an injured man is brought to Hagenheim Castle, claiming to be an English lord Claybrook attacked and left for dead. It’s best to read the Hagenheim books in order. A fun read with some returning characters from previous stories by Melanie Dickerson. ![]() Margaretha has always been a romantic, and hopes her newest suitor, Lord Claybrook, will be her one true love. The Princess Spy by Melanie Dickerson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Another medieval story with that fairytale feel, but I have to admit that I’ve no idea what fairytale sparked this story. but when a man claiming to be an English lord arrives at the castle, she finds herself questioning her heart as she uncovers secrets about her current suitor that cast the mysterious lord in a new light. In this historical fairy-tale romance book from bestselling author Melanie Dickerson, based on The Princess and the Frog, Margaretha hopes to find her prince. ![]() ![]() It was eighth grade (back in good ol’ 2010) when I picked up my first dogeared copy of ‘Marked’ and from the very first sentence I was hooked.
