Annah | Clay Gilbert | 4.7 | null | First published October 15, 2013 | When you can’t see yourself in the eyes of another, it’s not long before the face in your mirror looks like a stranger’s, too. It’s a truth more than one world has forgotten. In the century since the last Great War, a new technology called the Portal has placed the known universe at Earth’s doorstep. But with progress came the fear Earth’s new citizens might one day threaten the place of humankind on the planet. Annah is a seed-maiden of the world of Evohe; a world on the edge of the known Universe, who finds herself set apart from the rest of her race. Her blue eyes, golden hair and strange, slim form mark her as different, and her peculiar ideas about exploring the Sea of Stars beyond her world distance her even further. Too, she dreams of restoring the ancient faith of the Shapers to her world—a forgotten, forbidden path that her people believe led to the ruin of Evohe—but which they have found no way to replace. Annah aims to show them they are wrong, and to help her people find themselves, even if they shun her for it. It will take a chance meeting with a human man—one of the very people her kind fear most—to fulfill both her dream of finding a place to belong, and her dream of restoring her people to themselves. This is Annah's story. This is the story of her mate, Gary Holder. And this is the story of the Children of Evohe. The adventure begins now. | 10 |

Victim stood in the shadows behind the giant blue ox. It was eerily silent. The only sounds came from a few ripples gently lapping on the shore of Lake Bemidji and, in the distance, exhaust fumes drifted through the air from a passing tanker on Highway 2. The fury of the thunderstorm system that had ripped across northern Minnesota five hours earlier left hundreds of small puddles on the tarred surface of the parking lot, which now reflected the light from a distant street lamp. In the east, flashes of lightning illuminated a sky indifferent to the violence that would soon occur in his vacation paradise. | 10 |

Nepal Votes for Peace | Bhojraj Pokharel | 3.5 | null | First published January 1, 2013 | "Nepal has a long history of political struggle and popular uprisings have often threatened the existing regimes of this landlocked, predominantly Hindu state. In 1996, radical Maoists launched what would become the protracted armed struggle, known as The People’s War, with the aim of replacing the parliamentary system and the constitutional monarchy with a people’s republic. Thousands of people died and even more were injured over the next ten years in bitter fighting which ravaged the country and shocked the world. The gruesome murder of King Birendra, his wife and seven other royal family members in 2001 prompted more international concern about the future of Nepal. The violence eventually came to an end in 2005–2006 when the demand for a Constituent Assembly election was agreed upon. The election was finally held on 10 April 2008, marking one of the most significant events in Nepal’s political history because it abolished the country’s 239-year-old monarchy and established a multiparty democratic republic. This book, penned by the former Chief Election Commissioner of Nepal, narrates the country’s transformation from a kingdom to a multiparty democratic republic holding Constituent Assembly election. It also discusses the roles of national and international organizations, including the United Nations, in the ongoing peace process of Nepal." | 2 |

Feet of Clay | Terry Pratchett | 4.32 | Fantasy | First published January 1, 1996 | It's murder in Discworld! — which ordinarily is no big deal. But what bothers Watch Commander Sir Sam Vimes is that the unusual deaths of three elderly Ankh-Morporkians do not bear the clean, efficient marks of the Assassins' Guild. An apparent lack of any motive is also quitetroubling. All Vimes has are some tracks of white clay and more of those bothersome "clue" things that only serve to muck up an investigation. The anger of a fearful populace is already being dangerously channeled toward the city's small community of golems — the mindless, absurdlyindustrious creatures of baked clay who can occasionally be found toiling in the city's factories. And certain highly placed personages are using the unrest as an excuse to resurrect a monarchy — which would be bad enough even if the "king" they were grooming wasn't as empty-headed as your typical animated pottery. | 87,944 |

Long Shadows: Memoirs of Shane Leslie | Shane Leslie | 5 | null | First published January 1, 1966 | From the dust jacket:"Sir Shane Leslie in a long life has had many interesting and varied experiences. His early years were largely spent in the almost feudal conditions of an Irish castle. Then came Eton, a period of study in Paris, and Cambridge. He then devoted himself to the cause of Irish Nationalism with leaders like Redmond and honoured colleagues, not with Sinn Fein. After a period of ambulance driving in the First World War with the French Army, he went to America to undertake important work as an unofficial liasion officer between the Government and Irish authorities there. In between the wars he saw much of Society, high and low, in London and Ireland. He has many stories about Winston Churchill whose cousin he was, his mother and Lady Randloph being sisters. He is a devout Roman Catholic and has written many books on religious as well as mundane affairs. He has mixed with many eminent, and curious less eminent, people and he writes about them with skill, a keen sense of humour, wise discernment, and often pleasing candour. This is a really excellent book of reminiscence, giving a convincing picture of later Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian times in circumstances which cannot come again." | 2 |

The Character Interview | Alicia Rasley | 4 | null | First published December 23, 2012 | This short booklet helps you learn the trick to creating real Imagining them already real. You know they don't exist, that you are making them up-- but if you ever get too certain of that, you'll lose the magic of creation. Think of the characters as unique, multifaceted people that you know only a bit about, and set out to discover everything else.If these characters were really real, you'd get acquainted in a variety of way, chief among them observation and conversation--watching and interviewing. I'm going to ask you to use these two techniques to discover -- to uncover-- one of your characters.In this booklet, there are three different Interview 1: Character/Plot Coherence, which looks at the requirements the plot places on the character. This is especially helpful if you're starting with a plot idea and need a character to fulfill it.Interview 2: Character In-depth, which examines in depth the values, perceptions, and skills of the character. This is especially helpful if you have a character in hand but want more information so you can build a plot.Interview 3: Family Dynamics, which builds some backstory for your character. This helps to provide a textured past and some understanding of how the character relates to others. If you are writing a family drama or saga, you might need this backstory to develop the interactions between the characters.I also include an example of a self-designed interview. Once you know your character well, you might need to discover character attitudes, responses, and values specific to your plot. That's when you can direct your own interrogation, designed for this particular character, complete with follow-up questions and cross-examination. (Yes, sometimes your own character is a hostile witness!) | 4 |
Ghosts of ARCADIA | Ramsey Isler | 3.82 | Science Fiction | First published November 22, 2013 | The greatest video game system the world has ever seen has been hacked. ARCADIA was the first platform to offer a complete simulated reality experience using direct brain scans to trick the gamer's senses and, more importantly, to read their minds to know what they wanted to do next. It was hailed as a breakthrough; the most innovative invention since the television. It sold out in record time. Then the hackers started stealing. It started simply enough; just a few users of the ARCADIA game system had their bank accounts infiltrated, and a little bit of cash went missing. But the problem grew, and hundreds of thousands of people lost money. The FBI got involved, and ARCADIA headsets were taken off store shelves. Miguel Naciamento, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and hedonist, has taken on the story of ARCADIA. Determined to find the hackers, Miguel becomes entrenched in a mystery that involves an androgynous hacker, a veteran government specialist on cyber-warfare, and even the creator of ARCADIA.
