![]() ![]() (BTW-one thing not in Cassell’s book is the final panel from the same story, in which you can see me-the tall guy in the suit-gaping as Iron Man skates off.) Your experience of Marie through the pages of Cassell’s book will not be the same as mine, as you are unlikely to find a caricature of yourself with Tony Isabella on your shoulder (above) inside, or an Iron Man splash which has your wife drawn into the center of the page as a bystander (below). (I was about to write that I “remembered” many of the reasons why, but that would imply I’d forgotten those reasons … and no one could ever forget Marie.) As I’ve told you many times, I don’t just like Marie-I love Marie.Īnd last night, I relived many of the reasons why. That’s because I finally carved out some time to read Dewey Cassell’s book Marie Severin: The Mirthful Mistress of Comics. ![]()

The bridgehead across the Meuse was secure by nightfall. Luftwaffe historian Williamson Murray, describing the event that unfolded on that day, wrote, “Continuous Stuka attacks on French reservists holding the line had a devastating effect.” France’s infantrymen, according to a French general who witnessed the scene, “cowered in their trenches, dazed by the crash of bombs and the shriek of dive bombers.” The German air attack went like clockwork. The diarist was one Sergeant Pruemers who, as part of Germany’s 1st Panzer Division, was at that moment buttoned down and waiting to strike westward across the Meuse River and into the heart of France. … Everything becomes blended together along with the howling sirens of the Stukas in their dives, the bombs whistle and crack and burst.” ![]() ![]() Simultaneously, like some birds of prey, they fall upon their victim and release their load of bombs upon the target. ![]() ![]() Lyla Lee is an author of books for children and young adults.

The lion arose against him, and he caught the lion by the beard and slew it! This account shows David’s great courage. David went out after the lion, and got the lamb out of the lion’s mouth. While he was keeping his father’s sheep, a lion came and took a lamb. One incident in David’s boyhood days plainly denotes his character. As we review the last half of 1 Samuel and all of 2 Samuel, we will try and glean some reasons why David is called “a man after God’s own heart.” 1. There are many spiritual lessons which we can learn from the life of David. In Acts 13:22, we read, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, who shall fulfil all my will.” ![]() Because of this willingness to repent, Paul says that David was a man whose heart was inclined toward God. But unlike King Saul, David was not rebellious and disobedient. A careful study of David’s life will leave us with many lessons which we can apply to our lives today.ĭavid had faults. The Bible also records many other events in the life of David. His name to many of us is immediately associated with the time when he confronted Goliath the giant. David’s Sin With Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11-20)ĭavid is mentioned more times in the Bible than any other Biblical character. David’s Reign as King of Israel (2 Samuel 1-10) David as a Fugitive From King Saul (1 Samuel 20-31) ![]() ![]() ![]() “Always Remember Us This Way” feels remarkably personal, like its imagined writer might have spent years honing it. From Spinal Tap’s heavy metal to Josie and the Pussycats’ girl-band pop to Hugh Grant channeling Duran Duran in Music and Lyrics, the history of film and TV is littered with fictional earworms. Then consider the acute second-hand embarrassment of watching Succession’s Kendall Roy spitting out “L to the OG”’s laboured rhymes. ![]() Think of Lady Gaga’s Ally making her euphoric debut singing “Shallow” alongside Bradley Cooper’s veteran rockstar Jackson Maine in 2018’s A Star is Born, belting out the guttural howl that electrifies the song’s second half. There is a time-honoured tradition of music written specifically for on-screen stories, from the sublime to the ridiculous. The success of Prime Video’s Daisy Jones TV adaptation, then, was always going to ride on the songs – but how do you write the perfect track for an entirely made-up artist? It might have shades of Stevie Nicks, a touch of Joni Mitchell, a dash of The Eagles’ soft rock – and it has to feel vital, like it “takes a piece of your heart out and shows it to you”, as the group’s singer Billy Dunne puts it. The most important character in Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel Daisy Jones & The Six? It’s the music – and any devotee of the book, a fictional oral history of a Seventies rock band, will have strong feelings about exactly how it should sound. ![]() ![]() ![]() But it feels as if Grogan has mistaken Marley for his first baby. Jenny got pregnant again-maybe it was because Marley sometimes lolled around in bed with the Grogans during their basal-temperature-ovulation-calendar-we-must-have-sex-right-this-second drill-sessions-and ultimately carried two pregnancies to term. (Blessedly, the author only reproduces three-and-a-half of those pages here.) Marley appeared in a movie, The Last Home Run. When the Grogans went on a trip, they left a six-page memo about Marley’s care with the colleague who agreed to dog-sit. ![]() He developed a fear of thunder, which the Grogans discussed seriously with a vet. And on it went: Marley got kicked out of obedience class. Jenny got pregnant, but miscarried she embraced not only John but also Marley in her grief. Within a few weeks, the Grogans felt confident about their caretaking ability and tossed their birth control in the trash. John adores the reggae tempo of Marley’s tail-wagging and enjoys playing tug-of-war with him. Hence Marley, a lovable Labrador retriever. Jenny, who had recently killed a houseplant (a “lovely large dieffenbachia with emerald-and-cream variegated leaves”), thought she needed to brush up on her maternal skills before she tried to have a baby. The author and his wife still qualified as newlyweds-they’d been married just over a year-when they decided to adopt a dog. ![]() ![]() ![]() And indeed, misfortune begins to stalk the village.īut Vasya’s stepmother only grows harsher, determined to remake the village to her liking and to groom her rebellious stepdaughter for marriage or a convent. Fiercely devout, Vasya’s stepmother forbids her family from honoring their household spirits, but Vasya fears what this may bring. Then Vasya’s widowed father brings home a new wife from Moscow. ![]() Wise Russians fear him, for he claims unwary souls, and they honor the spirits that protect their homes from evil. Above all, Vasya loves the story of Frost, the blue-eyed winter demon. Winter lasts most of the year at the edge of the Russian wilderness, and in the long nights, Vasilisa and her siblings love to gather by the fire to listen to their nurse’s fairy tales. Amazon’s #1 pick for the year’s best science fiction and fantasy in 2017 ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s difficult to discuss this book without giving away plot details, but here are my vague, spoiler-free thoughts. There are still villains to be thwarted, but it’s good to see justice done. Fortunately, in Lies Sleeping, the author chooses to focus on one major story line that has been present since the start and brings it to a satisfying conclusion. Ben Aaronovitch has said that he’ll keep writing the books “ till I die or people stop reading them”, and while the last few novels have been enjoyable, they have felt a bit chaotic, with concluding chapters that raised more questions than answered them. Lies Sleeping is the seventh novel about Peter Grant, Detective Constable and apprentice wizard – part of an ongoing series of novels, novellas, short stories and comics. I’d been saving this latest installment of the Rivers of London series for the holidays, when I’d have time to enjoy it, and it was worth the wait. ![]() |
