Lillie M. Evans Library District Book Club May 22, 2017
Lillie M. Evans Library District Book Club May 22, 2017 Biography: Author and television scriptwriter Anthony Horowitz was born in Stanmore, England. He attended boarding and public schools. He graduated from the University of York and published his first book, Enter Frederick K. Bower (1979), when he was 23. Anthony writes mostly children's books, including the Alex Rider series, The Power of Five series, and the Diamond Brothers series. The first Alex Rider book was made into a movie entitled Stormbreaker. He also writes novels for adults including The Killing Joke and The Magpie Murders. He has created Foyle's War and Midsomer Murders for television as well as written episodes for Poirot and Murder Most Horrid. Most recently he was commissioned by the Ian Fleming Estate to write the James Bond novel Trigger Mortis. Anthony was awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to literature in January 2014. (Source: Bowker Author Biography) Similar Resources: Discussion Questions: 1. Anthony Horowitz's acknowledgements say, "Writing this book has been a joy and my hope is that I will have done some justice to the original." From what you know of Arthur Conan Doyle's novels, how does Anthony Horowitz's version compare? 2. "Holmes, you insist upon seeing yourself as a machine." — John Watson. Do you believe this to be so? Or do you think that Dr. Watson is oversimplifying Holmes character based on previously solved cases? 3. What were your reactions to the realization of what the House of Silk was and what it entailed? Some early novelists insisted that murder was the worst of crimes: has murder been devalued so much that other things are needed to shock readers? 4. -

Through the Looking Glass
THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS By HateAnon Welcome to Looking-Glass World, my Imperial Kitten. This world is a chessboard you see, split into squares by rivers and hedges. You begin as a Pawn but if you reach the 8th rank you become a Queen and you will throw a fantabulous feast for us. I have already invited all your guests. Take these pounds and avoid all trains! +1000£ This game has been going on for quite a while truth be told so let us first see which square you are on as it is. Roll 1d8 or pay 50£ to choose. 1. Looking-Glass House? What sneaky people live behind the mirror. It is all pretense I say. However there could be a volcano, an invisible giant and a very clever poem here. If only I had made a memorandum of it! 2. The Garden of Live Flowers? Do you know why most flowers do not talk? Because they are planted in soft ground and they tend to fall asleep that way. The Red Queen is here but you must walk backwards to meet her, run all you can to keep in place and run twice as fast to get somewhere. 3. Looking-Glass Insects? I warned you! No word about that train: you have no pounds to spare and they charge a thousand pounds a word you see. The Gnat is worth talking to but it might break your heart to hear of the Bread-and-Butterfly’s sorrow fate. You forget something in the woods as well but I forgot what it is you forget. -

Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master List Revised May 2019
Reading Groups Collection Multiple-Copy Titles Available for Loan Master list revised May 2019 Susan ABULHAWA - Mornings in Jenin (2011, 352 pages) Palestine, 1948. A mother clutches her six-month-old son as Israeli soldiers march through the village of Ein Hod. In a split second, her son is snatched from her arms and the fate of the Abulheja family is changed forever. Forced into a refugee camp in Jenin , the family struggles to rebuild their world. Their stories unfold through the eyes of the youngest sibling, Amal, the daughter born in the camp who will eventually find herself alone in the United States; the eldest son who loses everything in the struggle for freedom; the stolen son who grows up as an Israeli, becoming an enemy soldier to his own brother. Mornings in Jenin is a novel of love and loss, war and oppression, and heartbreak and hope, spanning five countries and four generations of one of the most intractable conflicts of our lifetime. Ayobami ADEBAYO - Stay with me (2017, 298 pages) Yejide is hoping for a miracle, for a child. It is all her husband wants, all her mother-in-law wants, and she has tried everything - arduous pilgrimages, medical consultations, dances with prophets, appeals to God. But when her in- laws insist upon a new wife, it is too much for Yejide to bear. It will lead to jealousy, betrayal and despair. Unravelling against the social and political turbulence of '80s Nigeria, Stay with Me sings with the voices, colours, joys and fears of its surroundings. Ayobami Adebayo weaves a devastating story of the fragility of married love, the undoing of family, the wretchedness of grief and the all-consuming bonds of motherhood. -
