Microsoft is also paying $125 million (equal to $25 million over five years) 'for purposes of assisting NewCo in acquiring local digital reading content and technology development.' This, too, looks to be nonrefundable." The partnership is not exclusive, meaning B&N can create alliances with other companies. As TechCrunch noted about B&N's 8K filing with the SEC Monday: "Microsoft will be paying the Barnes & Noble subsidiary $180 million in connection with revenue sharing on the Nook app that B&N will make for the Windows 8 platform. Among noteworthy points that came out after the initial announcement: Besides the $300 million investment in the new joint venture, Microsoft is guaranteeing to pay another $305 million. ![]() Not surprisingly, NewCo, the partnership between Barnes & Noble and Microsoft announced Monday morning, has received lots of press. ![]() ![]() Relationship Goals: How to Win at Dating, Marriage, and Sex by Michael Todd: Conversation Starters Achteraf aanpassen kan altijd, bij ons privacybeleid.

In the second installment of Catalina’s trilogy, six months have passed since Alessandro broke her heart by peacing out just as she was going to confess her love to him. I truly enjoyed every moment of the reading experience, which is more than I can say for many, many books. Emerald Blaze gives us everything we expect from an Andrews book: a competent heroine facing an unusual supernatural threat, an alpha-esque love interest with whom she has scorching chemistry, a great secondary cast, exciting action, strong world-building and sense of place, and jokes on jokes on jokes. If you are an Ilona Andrews fan (and if you aren’t, why not?) I have good news for you.

Adored by his subjects, master of the arts of kung-fu, he is the most powerful monkey on earth. It was like someone was reading my mind.Īnd along the way, we smoothly follow the story of the Monkey King: Born to rule over all the monkeys in the world, the story of the Monkey King is one of the oldest and greatest Chinese fables.

When angels seek vengeance and humans are the warriors, you could do a lot worse than betting on Violet Eden… My Review It’s a fight Violet doesn’t want, but she lives her life by two rules: don’t run and don’t quit. The guy she thought she could fall in love with has been keeping his identity a secret: he’s only half-human-oh, and same goes for her.Ī centuries-old battle between fallen angels and the protectors of humanity has chosen its new warrior. Violet is determined to get some answers, but nothing could have prepared her for the truth. There’s a dark tattoo weaving its way up her arms that wasn’t there before. As if that wasn’t enough, disturbing dreams haunt her sleep and leave her with very real injuries. After all, it’s hard to get too excited about the day that marks the anniversary of your mother’s death. Violet Eden dreads her seventeenth birthday. It starts with a whisper: “It’s time for you to know who you are…” Related Posts: Epic Paranormals | 2014 Favorites | Epic Love.One of my favorite reading experiences of the year! ![]() ![]() A riveting, exhilirating adventure brought to life by the most epic of love stories. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Though we get glimpses of Benji’s life in prep school, it seems far away and irrelevant (the way school often feels to a kid on summer break.) You see, this isn’t about Benji’s life at school it takes place in an all-black beach community in the Hamptons where Benji’s family spends summers. Whereas the reader of PREP inhabits the mind of a girl unable to “be herself” in a hostile adolescent environment, SAG HARBOR takes place in a situation where Benji feels most himself. However, PREP’s protagonist, Lee Fiora, is a Midwestern-Caucasion girl on scholarship in a New England boarding school, while SAG HARBOR’s Benji Cooper is an African-American boy who attends a mostly white prep school near his Manhattan home. Interestingly, the narrators of both novels are now in their adulthood, looking back at themselves as teenagers. It’s fun to compare Colson Whitehead’s SAG HARBOR to another recent novelĪbout the life of a teenaged preppie, specifically PREP by Curtis Sittenfeld. ![]() ![]() ![]() Makumbi’s clear and compelling prose combines oral history and East African oral storytelling techniques ( Kintu is the name of the legendary first man, a reference to the creation myth of the Baganda) while keeping one eye fixed on the reality of modern day Uganda, a place where the seemingly solid ground of clan and family divisions can quickly give way to shifting sand. ![]() ![]() Suffice it to say that this is a ridiculous assertion. ![]() But her substantial 443-page novel was roundly rejected by British publishers for being “too African” - full of too many characters with difficult-to-pronounce names, not focused on the colonial experience, and generally inaccessible to Western readers. Kintu (pronounced “Chintu”) was published in Kenya in 2014 Makumbi won the Kwani? Manuscript Project award, the Commonwealth Short Story Prize, and she was longlisted for the Etisalat Prize for Literature. To some, apparently, this may come as a surprise. JENNIFER NANSUBUGA MAKUMBI’S novel Kintu, about a cursed family confronting the vicissitudes of a changing Uganda, is a highly engrossing read.
