Israel Armstrong, the reluctant librarian in Northern Ireland is back for a new adventure. We have met Israel in the case of the missing books, but now the books are all save and sound in the van aka the mobile library. What (or better who) is missing this time is Mr Dixon, an influential department store owner. He vanishes right under Israel’s nose and when Israel is found at the ‘crime scene’ he is even arrested as a suspect of harming and kidnapping Mr Dixon. This unjust treatment to make him the obvious culprit makes Israel more determent to catch the real offender. Well….determent….Israel has to find him really, otherwise he himself will end up in the jail cell again. So, another job for our ‘hero’.
My boyfriend and I went on vacation to Turkey. Happy times all around!
At the end of the first week we felt fit enough to see some culture and we went to Ephesus, an old city once flourishing. A lot of buildings are still there in good conditions and this is one of them:
It is the library of Celcus from the second century AD. Of course no more books were found in it, but the building itself, although no longer complete, is impressive enough. Just imagine roaming through books in this place. Makes you wonder why we don’t build like this anymore. Here are some pictures of the beautiful details:
Frankie is a pediatrician in the Upper East Side of New York. Her clients are the high society of the city and throughout the book Frankie is the binding factor for all of the other characters we get to meet. There is Judy the wannabe, Samantha the accomplished and Barry the Hollywood movie-maker, amongst others. Per chapter we get to hear from them, about their struggles to get to the top or the tiresome task of staying there. At some point their lives aren’t as real anymore as they all might have thought and that is when everything starts to crumble down. How do they cope when their society as they know it seize to exist.
A totally disturbing, but hilarious story about a group of children going trick-or-treating with Halloween.
The legend goes that what sort of candy you get at the first house predict what the loot will be for the rest of the night. And it so happens Finch and his buddies get apples from the old lady who lives at the first house. Not a good omen and the granny will pay for this!
Be amazed about the plan the terrible and terrifying bunch comes up with and have fun reading how it acts out.
Nicole Hayes has a talent for daydreaming. She has a dream journal in which she writes her fantastic story about a sorcerer and his familiar. Meanwhile in real life she studies business at university and has a job as secretary.
Josh, her former neighbor, works at a book store and listens to his roommate for flirt and women’s advice. Something he better cannot do. But on the other hand, he has a jar full of girl’s phone numbers. The only thing is, he only has eyes for Nicole. A shame that this is not a mutual feeling. Unless…
