![]() Here are just a few of Egyptology's special features: an extravagantly gilded cover, featuring a raised Horus hawk pendant with three encrusted gems, a playable game of Senet-ancient Egyptian checkers-including board, pieces, original-style dice, and rules, a souvenir booklet showing how to read simple hieroglyphs, a scrap of textured "mummy cloth", a facsimile of the gilded mummy mask of King Tut, a gilded eye-of-Horus amulet with a "jewel" at the end. But luckily, her keen observations live on in the form of a lovingly kept journal, full of drawings, photographs, booklets, foldout maps, postcards, and many other intriguing samples. Alas, Miss Sands and crew soon vanished into the desert, never to be seen again. Who can resist the allure of ancient Egypt-and the thrill of uncovering mysteries that have lain hidden for thousands of years? Not the feisty Miss Emily Sands, who in 1926, four years after the discovery of King Tut's tomb, led an expedition up the Nile in search of the tomb of the god Osiris. ![]() Based on real Egyptology, each chapter covers a different place in Egypt. ![]() ![]() Purports to be the journal of Emily Sands during her travels in Egypt in 1926 to find the lost tomb of Osiris. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() He suffered childhood lymphoma, and spent long periods in sickrooms and hospitals, a time that he credits with sparking his love of books. The Promise is Galgut’s ninth novel and first in seven years. He follows fellow South Africans Nadine Gordimer (joint winner in 1974) and JM Coetzee (who won in 19). Having written his first novel aged 17, and having twice been shortlisted for the Booker (for The Good Doctor in 2003 and In a Strange Room in 2010), the author, now 57, has lived up to his own early promise. Four months to the day later, the answer, we can confirm, is yes. Is the Booker calling for the South African great? was the headline over The Irish Times's review back in July of The Promise by Damon Galgut. ![]() ![]() ![]() Although I will be honest and say that the stability of their relationship means that there is a lot less romance and drama in this book on that front. I enjoyed that her and Ethan have a stable relationship throughout based on mutual respect. There are some big changes for Merit in this book as she finally loses her immunity to glamor. These books always feel more like soap operas than anything and this book continues in that vein. Additionally it’s a solid addition to this series. I enjoyed this book it’s a good balance of mystery, vampire politics, and action. As with all the books in this series the two storylines end of being related and converge. It seems that a group of human Mafia called The Circle is out to collect on debt caused by Navarre House’s former master. ![]() The situation gets even more complicated when Morgan comes to Ethan seeking aid. ![]() Things get dicey for Ethan and Merit when Ethan’s maker shows up in Chicago and seems bent for taking Cadogan House for himself.

The 12th book in the series will be titled Midnight Marked and is expected to release in March of 2016. This is the eleventh book in the Chicagoland Vampires series and was a well done continuation of the story. ![]() Stand Alone or Series: 11th book in the Chicagoland Vampire series ![]() ![]() And as twilight descends upon all the realms of Faery, Meghan and her allies must make one more impossible choice.

The mother, Susanna (Julianne Moore), a rock music singer, changes the apartment door locks and the father, Beale (Steve Coogan), a businessman, is heard outside shouting to be let in. We see Maisie at school, then at home making her own sandwich, while the parents argue. The little girl, Maisie (Onata Aprile), whose oval face seems to be filled with so much sweetness and promise, is soon seen accepting a pizza delivery with her young nanny, Margo (Joanna Vanderham), as a parental argument goes on-and the nanny and girl eat on the patio. “Rock a Bye Baby” is sung at the beginning of What Maisie Knew (2013), by a mother to a daughter, and it is both soothing and ominous: “…when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall / and down will come baby, cradle and all.” The film What Maisie Knew (2013), directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel, with a screenplay by Carroll Cartwright and Nancy Doyne, is a rather bracing interpretation of Henry James’s fiction of marriage, divorce, and the misuse of a child. ![]() ![]() ![]() Searching for the truth about Ingrid’s disappearance, Jules digs deeper into the Bartholomew’s dark past and into the secrets kept within its walls.
