Lucy Foley, New York Times bestselling author of The Guest Listįrom the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Silent Patient comes a spellbinding tale of psychological suspense, weaving together Greek mythology, murder, and obsession, that further cements "Michaelides as a major player in the field" ( Publishers Weekly). I loved this even more than I loved The Silent Patient and that's saying something! Publishers Weekly, starred review A deliciously dark, elegant, utterly compulsive read -with a twist that blew my mind. The devastating ending shows just how little the troubled Mariana knows about the human psyche or herself. The intelligent, cerebral plot finds contemporary parallels in Euripides's tragedies, Jacobean dramas such as The Duchess of Malfi, and Tennyson's poetry.

The romance novel community isn’t exempt from those systems, and I want to be a part of making the world I read and write in a place where everyone has access to what they need to thrive and celebrate themselves. I think those of us born with privilege have a responsibility to be continually unpacking it and actively fighting against the systems of oppression we’re all a part of, especially if we’ve got a public platform to speak from, no matter how small it may be. I saw that you have an anti -racist business plan, why was it important for you to implement it and post on your website? She was courteous enough to a break from writing to grace us with her wit and wisdom. She loves to write romances that make her readers laugh, cry, and swoon (preferably in that order) and I can’t wait to crack into her newest books. I recently made the discovery of a new (to me but not her fans) author Katia Rose. Telgemeier meets this challenge brilliantly. Perhaps because of this, to tell a story set in our world with everyday people and problems might even be more of a challenge in a graphic novel. Barbarian third-graders who travel to Earth, space aliens, magical amulets and anthropomorphized bones are great subject matter when you can tell a long, complex story with illustrations and words. As Calhoun notes, most graphic novels have a fantasy settings, perhaps because there is so much more you can show (with art) rather than tell (with words) in a story when you are creating a graphic novel. The important thing to remember is that, in the world of graphic novels for middle grade readers, Telgemeier stands alone when it comes to the stories she chooses to tell. There is a great review of Drama by Ada Calhoun that was in the New York Times book review recently in which Telgemeier's books are referred to as "nice-girls-finish-first" and "hobbies-before-hotties" stories, which I think is great, if not a bit reductive. What followed was a boisterous, angry, frequently hilarious public battle that had millions of astonished viewers glued to their sets. Conan’s collapse, meanwhile, opened an unexpected door of opportunity for rival David Letterman. Leno’s show, panned by critics, dragged down the ratings-and the profits-of NBC’s affiliates, while ratings for Conan’s new Tonight show plummeted to the lowest levels in history. It took, in fact, only a few months for the dire predictions to come true. When NBC decided to move Jay Leno into prime time to make room for Conan O’Brien to host the Tonight show-a job he had been promised five years earlier-skeptics anticipated a train wreck for the ages.
