Kann's daughter, a bona fide pink addict, was eating too many pink cupcakes and was warned that she would change color if she ate too many more. "The first one began as an April Fool's joke." "All of the stories are really inspired by my kids," Kann says. Kann, who'll be at Saturday's Savannah Children's Book Festival, began her career as an illustrator for magazines and newspapers such as Harper's and the New York Times, but by the time she had children, she knew she wanted to write for kids. "I've already had to take away their Halloween candy or they go nuts and eat it all." "My daughters love sugar and just go crazy for cupcakes," Kann says. Victoria Kann, author and illustrator of the children's book series "Pinkaliscious," describes some of the inspiration for her work. ![]() ![]() ![]() Stenpock ( Richard Jutras) and his family, who live on the Coppertop ranch in a hyper-real Montana (actually Alberta in Canada) of greener-than-green prairie and bluer-than-blue skies, shot in swooningly beautiful relief and detail. (played by Kyle Catlett: it stands for ‘Tecumseh Sparrow’, and at times, the quirkiness feels strained) is a child prodigy whose special scientific talents generally go unnoted by both his teacher, Mr. Spivet’s, credible and engaging, and Jeunet succeeds beautifully, with the difference that while Amelie’s imagination is romantic, T.S.’s is scientific. The film’s job is to make that imagination, in this case T.S. Like Amelie, which came about as close to being a 3D film as a 2D film can be, Spivet is about how the imagination is the best instrument for making sense of the world. International arthouse sales seem assured, while U.S distribution is handled by the Weinstein Company, who will be hoping that the film’s skewed take on Americana will chime with the same audience wooed by Amelie itself and by Little Miss Sunshine. ![]() Jeunet’s own Amelie has become a reference point for a generation of arthouse cinemagoers, and Spivet should bring them back – though this time, with their children in tow. ![]() Cannes: Diane Lane, Kyle Chandler, Zoey Deutch and Phoebe Dynevor Among Cast for Suspense Thriller 'Anniversary' ![]() 7/8/2023 0 Comments Book sweet bean paste![]() Initially, Sentaro is hesitant about hiring her, but on realising that her disfigured hands make the best sweet bean paste he has ever had in his life, Sentaro gives in and hires her.Īfter many mornings which see the two of them boiling azuki beans to make fresh sweet bean paste, a sort of friendship between Tokue and Sentaro begins. It’s a terrible understatement to say that his life changes when Tokue, an elderly woman with crippled fingers arrives at the shop, looking for a job. It’s why Sentaro is working there in the first place. He is just working to pay off his dues to the shop owner, whom he owes a loan to. ![]() He bakes half-heartedly, drinks wholeheartedly and has no clear ambition. He has no motivation to turn his life around, and often mentions that he doesn’t have a sweet tooth.Ĭoincidentally, Sentaro works in a Dorayaki shop and spends most of his day making pancakes filled with sweet bean paste between them. ![]() ![]() The story begins with Sentaro, an ex convict who dreams of being a writer, but rarely ever writes. It’s heartwarming without being cheesy, inspiring without being preachy and is a stunning exploration of friendship and redemption in a society that has been unforgiving to those who are a part of it. Durian Sukegawa’s Sweet Bean Paste is without a doubt, one of the best books I’ve read this year. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments Angelhood by A.J.

I recommend it if you enjoy the more traditional types of Regencies (as opposed to the spicy ones). At the same time, it's well-written and thoughtful, with interesting characters who often act in surprising ways. The story is a little slow at first and takes a while to get going, and even then I'd call it "deliberately paced" rather than a fast-paced, exciting read. Tom and Sophy meet when she gets caught in a storm and injured, and takes refuge in Tom’s and his mother’s home. Lady Fairchild feels about this the way you'd expect a betrayed wife to feel, but over the years she and Sophy gradually grow closer. ![]() When Sophy's mother dies, Lord and Lady Fairchild take her in. The story starts with Sophy's childhood, as the daughter of a governess who had an affair with the master of the house, Lord Fairchild (who, to be fair, really did love her). ![]() (Their last name of Bagshot doesn't help matters.) Jaima Fixsen does some unusual things here with the normal Regency romance tropes: the heroine, Sophy, is an illegitimate child and the hero, Tom, is the gruff son of a wealthy merchant and his socially clueless wife, who are viewed by the gentry as social upstarts. I picked this up as a Kindle freebie ages ago and finally got around to reading it. ![]() 7/7/2023 0 Comments Edward snowden book![]() ![]() Or that you don’t care about the freedom to peaceably assemble because you’re a lazy, antisocial agoraphobe. Or that you don’t care about freedom of religion because you don’t believe in God. Or that you don’t care about freedom of the press because you don’t like to read. Ultimately, saying that you don’t care about privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different from saying you don’t care about freedom of speech because you have nothing to say. You’re assuming that no one, including yourself, might object to revealing to anyone information about their religious beliefs, political affiliations and sexual activities, as casually as some choose to reveal their movie and music tastes and reading preferences. But saying that you don’t need or want privacy because you have nothing to hide is to assume that no one should have, or could have to hide anything – including their immigration status, unemployment history, financial history, and health records. You might choose to give it up out of convenience, or under the popular pretext that privacy is only required by those who have something to hide. Because a citizenry’s freedoms are interdependent, to surrender your own privacy is really to surrender everyone’s. “There is, simply, no way, to ignore privacy. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Batman by Geoff Johns![]() Submissions of artwork should either credit the artist, or link directly to the artist's site.ĭo not ask for pirated material.
