![]() Sweet turns bitter before readers get-can’t resist-their just desserts. ![]() He’s shockingly perfect-even in Jas’ parents’ eyes!-until his own tiger-mom issues plummet his potential. Julie Tieu sparkles in this debut romantic comedy, which is charmingly reminiscent of the TV show. And then her best friend delivers Jas’ single-encounter college obsession to her doorstep. Buy a cheap copy of The Donut Trap book by Julie Tieu. She’s trapped between her parents’ impossible expectations and her overdue need for independence. After thwarting her immigrant parents’ pre-med plans for her, Jas is back at home, working again in the family donut shop. Missteps aside, Naudus earnestly embodies 22-year-old Jasmin Tran, who’s been rather career-unfocused since graduating from UCLA. One might argue, for example, that the Cambodian Chinese American protagonist could be less than fluent when ordering Korean barbecue favorites, but Naudus’ previous Korean-infused narration with Korean American characters, A Sweet Mess, was equally clumsy. The Donut Trap - by Julie Tieu (Paperback) 10. ![]() ![]() Casting an Asian American narrator for Asian American characters created by an Asian American author initially seems to be a promising decision, but Taiwanese American Naudus, though pleasant overall for Tieu’s debut, isn’t consistently convincing with the multiple Asian languages in play. ![]() ![]() Quotations from Pippin about the psychological scars of war and his artistic process are hand-drawn into Sweet's images, underscoring how art was not only a joyful outlet for Pippin, but also a vital means of interpreting the world. Sweet's naïf mixed-media collages blend thick, solid color blocks with motifs mined from Pippin's vibrant compositions, which range from war scenes to that of children at play. Despite a war injury to his right arm, Pippin adapted in order to continue drawing and painting, eventually leading to recognition and fame in the art world. ![]() As a child, Pippin drew pictures at every opportunity, but his family's economic struggles eventually necessitated that he use his "big hands" in many other roles, including "stacking grain sacks at a feed store, shoveling coal at a rail yard," and later serving in WWI. The team behind the Caldecott Honor book A River of Words: The Story of William Carlos Williams returns with a rewarding picture-book biography of self-taught African-American artist Horace Pippin. ![]() ![]() ![]() If he succeeds in devouring her magic, she and the world will die. ![]() An ancient powerful Warloc craves her powers. ![]() Her magic has been kept dormant by her captors.

This is not a conversation Canada is "happy" to engage in, said Rigby. "But we have to have it now, given some of the potential scenarios playing out." It is within the context of these frightening scenarios that the debate over Australia's acquisition of nuclear submarines - and whether Canada should be upgrading its own fleet - is playing out. And we don't want to go there," said Vincent Rigby, a former national security and intelligence adviser to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. "I often think about this and it's an absolute worst-case scenario. The idea that these tensions could escalate into open conflict has people in the security, foreign policy and defence worlds imagining how such a conflict might play out, and what Canada could - and could not - do in such a circumstance.

This premise sounded equally intriguing and it did start well, with the same creepy overtone but this is where the similarities ended. I read this author's novel Confession last year and found it intriguing, and really loved the insidious nature of evil it depicted. The mother of the girl who does not return, threatens the remaining girls, telling them that by the time the statute of limitations is expired on her daughter's murder, the remaining girls must either write a confession or perform an act of penance. ![]() ![]() Five ten year old friends go to, their school to play, only four will return alive. ![]() ![]() The manuscripts that would follow it were published in some form or other in the course of his career.
