Stargazer (True North Series: Speakeasy Taproom, #8) by Wendy S. Marcus
Stargazer (Speakeasy Taproom, #8) - Wendy S. Marcus

 

 

 

Stargazer by Wendy S. Marcus


My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Stargazer refuses to be put in a box. R.D. and Lily delve into the many facets of love. From casual acquaintances to caring friends and lastly unpredictable attraction. Marcus exposes the heart to the good, bad and ugly. Far from perfect, less than irredeemable, Stargazer is a journey of healing that draws you in by emotions, grabbing at more than the senses. Beautiful heartache has never felt so empowering.

Things you didn't even know that you didn't know.
The Universe Next Door: The Making of Tomorrow's Science - Marcus Chown

While a little out of date, starting operations at CERN in 2006 in discussed as a future event, this is the best book I've read so far on quantum physics and parallel universes. Apart from some sections on plancks and branes that went over my head, I got a lot from it as a lay-person and it made me want to learn more. Mirror worlds and particles; tricksy atoms that can be in more than one place at once; the likelihood that our universe is teeming with life, originating from asteroids that seed any planet with enough warmth to have liquid water; and that six missing dimensions that must exist for wave theory to be correct, might be folded so small that we cannot perceive them.

Timestamp: Musings of an Introverted Black Boy
Timestamp: Musings of an Introverted Black Boy - Marcus Granderson

Timestamp is a collection of written works by Marcus Granderson, a Harvard Graduate and young black man.   As Marcus states in the introduction, the works are not related in any way.  The works range from essays, poetry, lists, observations as well as speeches.  The themes of the writings give a fresh perspective on what it's like to be coming of age in the world today with a highlight on racial disparity.  I was able to identify with many of the writings about life during and directly after college very well and remember those feeling. However, what I enjoyed reading the most were the pieces that gave insight to the author's experience a a young black person in today's world.  Oreo was a brilliant introduction to the collection and allowed me to get a clear view of his perspective. Some of my other favorite pieces were Hallelujah Anyhow, Last Night, Sunrise and Hair Like Mine.

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.

Ethan Marcus Stands Up by Michele Weber Hurwitz
Ethan Marcus Stands Up - Michele Weber Hurwitz

Audience: 3rd Grade & Up

Format: Hardcover/Library copy

 

The thing about this, and what I seriously don't get here, is that it was Ethan.

- first sentence

 

Ethan is a 7th grader who has difficulty sitting still in school all day. One day, during his last period (Language Arts), he stands up and refuses to sit down despite repeated warnings from his teacher. As a result, he receives two days of after school reflection (aka detention). This begins a series of events that ends with Ethan and his sister (Erin) both competing in the Invention Day fair. The story is told from 5 different points of view - Ethan, his best friend Brian, Erin, her best friend Zoe, and troublemaker Wesley (who may not be as bad as he seems). 

The story is a quick, easy read that is appropriate for kids even in 3rd grade - nothing too heavy or serious and a lot of humor will appeal to students who enjoy books like James Patterson’s Middle School series.

Vampires slaughtered my family.
 
No one believed me until I met some new friends, who promised to help me get justice.
 
But nothing prepared me for Marcus Varik.
 
Tall, dark, and mind-numbingly sexy.
 
But he’s also shy, protective, and adorably eccentric.
 
Oh God, I should have never agreed to betray him.
 
Hopefully, it's not too late to fix my mistake before I lose more people I love.
 
Claiming Marcus is the first book in an MM paranormal romance series that has vampires, betrayal, 
annoying brothers, music, heartbreak, hope, sexy times, and a raven named Ozzie.
