Eighteen current and former Eastside Eagles gathered together Saturday evening at Cousins Middle School to play in the fourth annual Eastside High School Alumni soccer match.
I took first-year Eastside head coach Troy Hoff and his eight year old son to lunch at Bullritos on Wednesday. We talked for almost an hour with the discussion spanning different topics such as how different the game is today, his history in football, the upcoming year for Eastside and more.
On May 29 Eastside High School had nine students leave for Chicago to represent the state of Georgia in the High School National Championship Academic Bowl. Eric Adams, the teacher at Eastside went with them plus Dave Gregory, another parent.
Eastside boys basketball has a history of success. With the exit of former head coach Greg Freeman, there will be a new regime in town under newly hired head coach Brent Wren.
Eastside's new girls' basketball coach is home. A Covington native, Gladys King - formerly Rockdale County High School girls head basketball coach - will take over for former Lady Eagles head coach Matthew Jackson, after accepting the job this spring.
It's been a tremendous year for Eastside sophomore athlete Eric Stokes. Just in his second year in high school and Stokes earned the starting running back position at the beginning of the football season, he was ranked second in the 400m heading into state, he's been offered by Georgia State and now he's a state champion.
EHS senior soccer players Tyrik Francis and Haley Walden have been selected to play in the DiVarsity.com's 2015 Georgia High School Association All-Star Soccer game in Marietta on Sunday, May 17th at Sprayberry High School. Both played in last year's all-star game proudly representing Eastside High School. They will head to Sprayberry High School to compete against the best soccer players from all classifications in the state of Georgia. Haley will play defender on the 22-member white team, and take on the blue team in a 2 p.m. contest. Tyrik will play forward on the boys ...
With a combined score of 290 Eastside girls' golf placed third at sectionals a little over one week ago, just seven strokes behind second place. The Lady Eagles will now try for a state championship on Monday when they travel to Applewood Golf Course in Keysville.
Last week, Eastside traveled down to Wayne County where they, as No. 4 seed, upset the No. 1 seeded Yellow Jackets 4-1 pitting them against Whitewater in the second round, which took place in Fayetteville on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the Eagles were outmatched by a Whitewater team that made some incredible shots on its way to an 8-0 win over Eastside.
When the 2014 high school football season began, Carlos Huggins was mostly a skilled and slightly undersized linebacker, but that changed when the Eagles running back depth chart was bitten by the injury bug.
One thing I've found to be true in creating these All-Area teams is that the Newton/Rockdale area has a lot of impressive ball players. There is a lot of talent at this level and plenty that have the talent to play at the next level. With that said below you'll find the first and second All-Area teams for the 2014-2015 school year. Because there's so much talent some players were left out, but that doesn't take away from each player's individual ability. There are some positions loaded with talent whereas others there are only ...

What a difference a week made for the Eastside High School varsity baseball team.
Eastside High School girls tennis coach Leah Carlisle knew that Morgan County presented a tough match-up for her team.
Good pitching and timely hitting gave the Eastside baseball team (10-6, 5-1 Region 8-AAAA) a 6-5 victory against region opponent Madison County (7-8, 0-5 Region 8-AAAA) on Monday night.
The Eastside Eagles boys varsity soccer team gave visiting Lanier High School all it could handle Tuesday night at Sharp Stadium, but while the Eagles survived 20 mph wind gusts and temperature dipping below 40 degrees, they were unable to hold off the Longhorns in the second half, falling 5-4.
The Eastside varsity girls soccer team continued its struggle through the 2014 season Tuesday at Sharp Stadium against visiting Lanier, giving up five goals in a 6-0 loss to the Lady Longhorns.
Monday was Armed Services Appreciation Day at Eastside's Eagle Field and some of our local veterans were treated to a night at the ballpark and a win 5-0 win by the home team over Region 8-AAAA foe Chestatee.
The Eastside Eagles hit the road Friday and traveled to Gainesville to face the Chestatee War Eagles in a Region-8AAAA match-up.
The Eastside varsity baseball squad hosted the Alcovy Tigers Saturday, looking for a victory to redeem itself from a loss to the Tigers back from a year ago.
The Eastside girls and boys soccer teams suffered a region sweep Friday night against the Chestatee War Eagles, dropping a pair of contest in Region 8-AAAA action.
Missing several key players due to injury, the Eastside Lady Eagles soccer team was overpowered by the visiting Walnut Grove Lady Warriors Tuesday afternoon at Sharp Stadium, falling 4-0 to its region rival.
Eastside's Jerry Marban scored early, Daniel Powers scored his second goal late, and Brian Worton played superbly in goal as the Eastside Eagles boys varsity soccer team defeated region rival Walnut Grove 3-1 Tuesday night at Sharp Stadium.
Eastside senior baseball player Hanks Steele made his pledge to Middle Georgia State College Tuesday afternoon, signing his National Letter of Intent with the Knights' program in front of coaches, family and friends.
The Eastside Eagles varsity baseball team traveled to Morgan County Monday night for a rematch against the Morgan County Bulldogs.
The Eastside Eagles soccer team rebounded from a Friday night loss with a 4-0 shutout victory over rival Newton Saturday afternoon at Sharp Stadium.
A very eager, but inexperienced, Eastside Eagles boys soccer team hung with a bigger, faster more technically sound Lumpkin County Indians program well into the second half of Friday's region opener, but, in the end, the Indians wore down the Eagles and defeated Eastside 3-1 at Sharp Stadium.

text: It looks like Antawn Jamison took the Wizards luck to Cleveland with him! The Cavs have lost 3 straight games and the Wizards have actually played better team basketball since they purged the roster and traded away some key players. The Wizards lost a 4th quarter lead in Toronto and lost a game they should have won, they are 2-1 since the trade. So far it looks like Cleveland got more from the Wizards than they bargained for!

One of the former sites was reported in 1899 to have a population of six males. The present site was established around 1918. Nikolai was the site of a trading post and roadhouse during the gold rush. It was situated on the Rainy Pass Trail, which connected the Ophir gold mining district to Cook Inlet. It became a winter trail station along the Nenana-McGrath Trail, which was used until 1926. By 1927, the St. Nicholas Orthodox Church had been constructed. In 1948, a private school was established, and in 1949 a post office opened. Local residents cleared an airstrip in 1963, which heralded year-round accessibility to the community. The city was incorporated in 1970. Culture Nikolai is an Athabascan community. Residents are active in subsistence food-gathering.

Mike Scott and Virginia's senior class are close to reaching the NCAA tournament for the first time. Another milestone for them could happen Thursday night. Scott's class hopes to earn its first victory over No. 22 Florida State when the No. 24 Cavaliers play their home finale. Virginia (21-7, 8-6 ACC) is in its third season under coach Tony Bennett and will likely make its first NCAA appearance since 2007. That was the season before Scott and fellow fifth-year senior Sammy Zeglinski arrived on campus. "I know they really have said it before, they wanna leave the program in a real good spot," Bennett said. "Their desire to finish strong, to hopefully push us into postseason play, all those things would really I think be a great thing for them, and that's why I've said going into senior night you hope we really play with the right kind of passion and focus, all of the things needed to be successful." Scott leads the conference in field-goal percentage at 57.3 while averaging a c...

Rare and Popular Inverted Date 1865-S Eagle--Third Finest Certified1865-S 865 Over Inverted 186 XF 40 PCGS. A very interesting "overdate" that has the first three digits of the date logotype punched upside down in the exergual area. While not a unique occurrence, such upside down punches are rarely encountered. The inverted date is very scarce, but actually not as infrequently seen as the normal date. Normally only seen in Fine or Very Fine condition, this piece is far above average and it is, in fact, tied with one other piece as third finest certified (and presumably third finest known). The finest is an NGC AU 53 that was sold in our February '95 Long Beach Sale. Softly struck in the centers on each side, the coin has rich reddish-orange color throughout. It is distinguished by a milling mark on the cheek of Liberty and a small group of abrasions around star 5.
Ex: Melish (Kosoff, 4/56); Tate Cheseborough; Warren Miller. (NGC ID# 28ED, PCGS# 8643)

Changing Web usage is hard. Google has granted a few extra months of leeway to those who rely on a handful of popular plug-ins, such as Silverlight, to extend what their browser can do.
Web developers and graphic artists who want to try the data-saving graphics format now have two choices of open-source plug-ins for Photoshop.
If you're looking for gee-whiz features, you won't find them here. But there are still some nice enhancements.
Photoshop Mix feels like a version 1.0 product -- albeit a very slick one -- and is mostly worth trying for the curiosity factor.
Pricing not available
Though Photoshop Express is hardly a photo-editing power tool, it stands out from a unpolished, scattered crowd on Windows Phone.
A nice, but not necessarily must-have update, Adobe Lightroom 5 remains a strong program for working with raw images.
The Mac maker is forcing users of older versions of the Flash Player plug-in to update in the name of security.
If you're looking for something beyond simple photo retouching and filtering for your late-model phone, Photoshop Touch hits the mark, but look at user reviews before you leap.
The new beta of Google's browser also adds support for animated WebP images and an interface that lets Web apps vibrate the phone.

I've waited a while to write and post this entry because I wanted a little time to process what I did. The long and short of it is that I don't own the Excalibur 26 anymore. I sold her.
She hasn't vacated her slip yet and I have driven down to Alamitos Bay to check on her. The new owner, a man named Mark, was enthusiastic about the purchase and I believe she'll be in good hands with him.
Like many boat owners, I was unable to find enough time to spend on the boat and in the water. Like many automotive Service Managers, I was without the required energy to spend a day on the boat on the few days that I actually had time. So, for the first time in a number of years, I am without a boat of some kind.
It's tough to gybe in a howling wind if you don't have a boat.
I do still have my Goldwing, though, and have a number of half-day, full-day and 24 hour rides on the horizon. I'll be posting about those here.
My riding partner and I last completed an Iron Butt ride in April 2013 – a ride of a little over 1500 miles.
When riding that distance in a short a period of time, the long stretches of miles in which nothing happens is completely erased from the mind. What sticks out are the highlights that make the ride memorable.
We left in beautiful Southern California weather but two hours later were fighting 30+ mph headwinds in the Central Valley. Our planned fuel stops were abandoned because the wind cut the fuel mileage on each of our bikes by 10-15 miles per gallon and added an additional, unplanned stop on the north leg.
North of Sacramento, with the winds finally dying down, I was startled by a pop from between my legs. My fuel tank had buckled inward from the vacuum created when a pinched vent line let no incoming air into the tank to displace the fuel that was being sucked out by the fuel pump. A fuel stop planned for 15 minutes doubled in time as I removed my fuel tank at the filling station and corrected the vent line routing. (For those of you astute enough to know that the fuel tank on the Goldwing is plastic and located below the rider, preventing such an occurrence, I was on a different bike for this ride. Fortunately, some carefully applied compressed air to the tank popped out the dent after the ride was completed).
We experienced our first cold weather while climbing on Interstate 5 on the way to the summit of the mountains west of Mount Shasta. My grip heaters and extra layers helped, but we shivered all the way to Grants Pass nonetheless. Once there we calculated our time and found that we could still be back in Westminster on time since the wind would either be reduced or on our backs on the way back.
The return trip began well. We made it 250 miles before I led us into a radar trap and we were both detained and ticketed by two California Highway Patrol troopers. They were initially preachy, but mellowed considerably when both our papers checked out and they realized that we weren't a threat to them. Both officers had questions about the ride but mostly just shook their heads. That seems to be a pretty common response. It's the only ticket I've gotten while on a motorcycle. The last one in a car was over twenty years before then.
The last six hours had few highlights. We stopped for gas a couple times. I fought sleep in the southern part of the Central Valley, we hit traffic after midnight on the grapevine and a complete freeway closure six miles before the end of the ride. We had ridden 1509 miles in 23 hours 40 minutes, beating our goal of 24 hours by 20 minutes.
I'm asked why I ride these rides. Usually the person asking is almost angry because they don't see the point. They see no reward for the amount of risk. I can only tell them that I ride these rides because I can't play football anymore. There is no league for out-of-shape 47 year old Service Managers. My knees and back and shoulders couldn't take it anymore.
I do, however, miss the physical and psychological challenges in lining up across from an opponent and beating them. Sometimes you beat an opponent by being stronger or faster. Sometimes you beat an opponent by being smarter. I get the same level of satisfaction beating the clock on a tough ride that I used to get playing football.
I really enjoyed the time I spent with the Excalibur. Owning it allowed me to become acquainted with Charles Olcott and Neil Fletcher and Neil Porter. I traded e-mails with Webb Chiles. I learned a lot about the history of sailboat manufacturing in the 60s in Southern California.
I'll likely own another someday.
I was never a poor weather sailor, though. I never intentionally took the Excalibur out into storms and searched out frothing blue water to crash over the bow. I never literally sailed through a turn with gale force winds on my stern.
'Gybing in a howling wind' has always been a metaphor.
Everyone should find their wind to gybe in. Risk gives meaning to what you do. The level will vary from person to person. What I do scares the members of my family sometimes. Things other people do regularly terrify me. What it is doesn't matter. How benign or extreme it is doesn't matter. What does matter is that is raises your heartbeat and takes your breath away….temporarily, of course.
'Gybing in a howling wind' will remain the title of my blog as it transitions from a sailing blog to a riding blog. Imagine, instead of a sailing boat, a lone rider, leaning into a desert wind that is pushing across the highway, the rider struggling to remain in his lane, riding westbound, while the sun settles down into storm clouds only minutes before being enveloped in the darkness of a night without the moon.

YIELD: Serves 6
With a manual citrus juicer squeeze enough juice from pomegranate half, pressing sides against center of juicer and pressing on any whole seeds in juicer with thumbs, to measure 1/4 cup. Peel and cut jícama into 1/4-inch-thick slices. On a cutting board stack slices, 2 or 3 at a time, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick sticks. In a bowl toss jícama with pomegranate juice. Chill mixture, covered, tossing occasionally, 30 minutes to allow jícama to absorb some of juice.
Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. Trim haricots verts and in a saucepan of boiling salted water blanch 3 minutes, or until crisp-tender. Transfer beans with a slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking and drain in a colander. Cut remaining pomegranate in half and with hands gently break in two. Bend back rinds and dislodge seeds from membranes. Coarsely chop walnuts.
To jícama mixture add beans, pomegranate seeds, parsley, oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and toss to combine.
Serve salad sprinkled with walnuts.

Ever wonder what mystery authors read in their spare time? Colin Cotterill, who lives in Southeast Asia and is the author of the Laos-set mystery Six and a Half Deadly Sins, is here to tell us as we continue our celebration of all things mystery during Private Eye July! Who knew an author whose latest novel features severed fingers would enjoy a well-crafted children's book?
I have to confess, you've caught me at a fortuitous juncture with this request as I only ever find the time or the inclination to read when I'm traveling. My wife and I have spent the past month in the U.S. Lots of airports and sleepless flights and bad coffee. On the 30-hour return home from Seattle, I curled up with a nonfiction title: What the Dog Knows by Cat Warren. It's as far from Dog Whisperer psychology as Freud's Psychopathology of Everyday Life is to a self-help manual. It promised to be a little dense, but it covered two of my favourite topics: dogs and death. In brief, Warren found herself with an unmanageable German shepherd pup, Solo. She asked around for training suggestions and was pointed in the direction of training her dog as a cadaver search canine. Now, I wouldn't recommend the arduous program for your poodle unless you still wonder what happened to Auntie Irene who disappeared about the time Uncle Bert laid the concrete patio, but I'm sure you'll be as fascinated as I was in following Solo on his journey from juvenile delinquent to superstar K9 sleuth.
I tend to cringe a little when people call my books 'charming,' but that's mainly because I kill a lot of people in horrid ways and I don't think that's a particularly charming trait. But the New York Times' assessment of R. P. Harris' middle-grade reader Tua and the Elephant was right on the mark. It is, indeed, charming. I should first disclose that I know R. P. Harris, and he forced me to take his book on the road with me. I reminded him that I was neither 12 years old nor particularly interested in elephants, but, as he said, the book is set in my one-time home of Chiang Mai. It was peppered with clever observations of Thai life, and I do believe I reverted to my early teens after reading it in one sitting. With illustrations by popular artist Taeeun Yoo, it's the type of book you look for when you despair at the sleaze and vulgarity drowning your kids these days.
I'm always chuffed to be in a place I'm reading about. We were in San Francisco when I started The Halls of Power by William C. Gordon. His crime novels are set in the '60s but many of the sites were still recognizable even though the bars, like a lot of local food and drink establishments in the city have been forced to shut down due to the soaring rents. For those of you who want a dose of nostalgia for the San Francisco your parents knew, you couldn't do much better than Gordon. He was a crime lawyer back then so a lot of the cases in the books are ones he was involved in. The Halls of Power looks at the role influential people play in subverting justice, so perhaps not everything's changed.
Thank you, Colin! See anything you'd like to pick up, readers?
It's Private Eye July at BookPage! All month long, we're celebrating the sinister side of fiction with the year's best mysteries and thrillers. Look for the Private Eye July magnifying glass for a daily dose of murder, espionage and all those creepy neighbors with even creepier secrets.
Brad Meltzer is known for many things, from his popular American political thrillers to his comic books to his History Channel TV series to his efforts to promote literacy in Florida. But here at BookPage, Brad is known for writing the warmest emails of all time. And so it comes as no surprise that Brad has some really great fans, as he shares below.
I've never told this story. And I promise this is true.
It was over a decade ago, at the start of my career. I can't remember what book it was for. I think Dead Even or The First Counsel, but I'm pretty sure it was my first trip to Dallas. I was at a local Barnes & Noble and since I was new at this, I made sure to get to the event early. Really early, like, so early, no one else should be there unless we're related.
So I was surprised to see this group of four or five young men and women in their late 20s, which was about my age at the time. According to the store manager, they'd driven all the way from Oklahoma.
I couldn't believe it. From Oklahoma . . . all the way to Texas?! With my impaired sense of geography, that had to be like, a 16 hour drive (it was actually five). But still. No one had ever driven five hours to see me sign books before. You don't forget when someone does that.
By 7:30 or so, the signing begins. People ask questions . . . I pretend I'm funny . . . and then the actual book signing starts. At the end of the line, I notice the folks from Oklahoma. Of course they're waiting till the end. Whoever's at the end gets the most time with the author.
Some more time goes by. The signing slowly moves forward, and every few minutes, I keep looking up at the Oklahomans. Even from where I'm sitting, they just seem . . . nice.
Eventually, they get to the front of the line and I sign their books. It's late now, so I ask them where they're staying in town. They look at each other and sheepishly admit that they have to drive back tonight. As someone who grew up without much money, I get it instantly: They don't have the cash to pay for a hotel room (and yet here they are paying full price for a hardback book). They took their entire day to come and meet me.
Now let me be clear: What I was about to do, I'd never done before. I've only done it two other times since. But my gut told me these were nice people. And I trust my gut. So I said, "You're not getting back in the car and just driving for another five hours. I'm taking you all out to dinner first."
Their reaction alone was worth it.
But here's the part I love: As we're all leaving the bookstore together and heading for the restaurant next door, I spot one of the sales reps from my publisher lurking in the corner, by the door.
"What're you doing here?" I ask, genuinely surprised.
"The publisher told me to come keep an eye on you," she joked. Noticing the small crowd, she added, "Where you headed?"
"I'm just taking these readers to dinner."
She almost choked right there. "Wait," she told me. "You're taking complete strangers—who you don't know—to dinner?" I think she gave me some warning about how strangers can potentially chop you up into little pieces. Maybe she flipped through a copy of Stephen King's Misery. But eventually, she was like, "I gotta see this."
Looking back, she was just protecting her author from doing something stupid. But there's nothing stupid about being a nice person. In the end, we all went to dinner together: me, the sales rep and my new pals from Oklahoma (you know who you are).
And the best part? Since the sales rep came along, she surprised us all by picking up the check. So you know what the real lesson is? Kindness will always be rewarded. Also, dinner's always better when the publisher pays.
On June 16th, my new book tour started in NY. Don't think I don't know that at each event, the publisher stills spies on me from the corner.
See you on tour.

Looking for a fresh and healthy side to go along with your Fourth of July barbecue this weekend? Try this Grilled Cornucopia of Summer Garden Vegetables from our July Top Pick in Cookbooks—Sarah Leah Chase's New England Open-House Cookbook.
Grilled Cornucopia of Summer Garden Vegetables
At the height of the summer growing season when every night calls for firing up the outdoor grill and you can't decide which vegetable to cook from the backyard garden or local farmers' market, this grilled cornucopia of vegetables is your answer. If looking svelte on the beach is a top priority, you may want to skip grilling any accompanying protein and simply feast on this beautiful and bountiful platter of colorful and tasty vegetables. Otherwise, the grilled array of vegetables is perfect to pair with everything from the catch of the day to succulent rib eye steaks. Serves 8 to 10 as a side dish, 4 to 6 as a main dish
1. Combine the eggplants, yellow squash, zucchini, yellow and red onions, bell peppers, and mushrooms in a large mixing bowl and toss with the vegetable oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste and toss to coat evenly.
2. Set up a charcoal or gas grill and preheat it to medium-high.
3. Arrange the vegetables, working in batches if necessary, in a hinged wire grill basket or place them on top of a small-mesh grilling rack. Grill the vegetables a few inches above the heat, turning them frequently, until crisp-tender. Some vegetables will take longer to cook than others, so you want to tend them carefully and transfer them to a large and attractive serving platter as they become crisp-tender.
4. Once all of the vegetables have been grilled and placed on the platter, drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over them. Scatter the capers and basil over the top. Serve the vegetables warm or at room temperature.

The Book of Numbers by Joshua Cohen
Random House • $28 • ISBN 9780812996913
order from: BAM | B&N | Indiebound | Amazon
Ambitous, sprawling and complex, Joshua Cohen's second novel is an epic attempt to tell the story of the digital age, from computing's early days to modern times. But this paen to technology, written by a GenX writer who is of the digital age but not from it, also makes a strong case for the timelessness of the book. His narrator, also named Josh Cohen, is a failed novelist turned ghostwriter, and from page one his voice is unforgettable:
If you're reading this on a screen, fuck off. I'll only talk if I'm gripped with both hands.
Paper of pulp, covers of board and cloth, the thread from threadstuff or—what are bindings made of? hair and plant fibers, glue from boiled horsehooves?
The paperback was compromise enough. And that's what I've become: paper spine, paper limbs, brain of cheapo crumpled paper, the final type that publishers used before surrendering to the touch displays, that bad thin four-times-deinked recycled crap, 100% acidfree postconsumer waste. . . .
I'm writing a memoir, of course—half bio, half autobio, it feels—I'm writing the memoir of a man not me.

When the United States Spoke French
By François Furstenberg
Penguin • $20 • ISBN 9780143127451
While you're celebrating the U.S.A.'s 239th birthday, take a look back at the early years of the young republic, when five prominent Frenchmen settled in Philadelphia and became active participants in the life of the city and the new nation. Described by Booklist as "a fine combination of social and political history," Furstenberg's narrative was a finalist for the George Washington Book Prize.
How to Build a Girl
By Caitlin Moran
Harper Perennial • $15.95 • ISBN 9780062335982
The rowdy first novel from the author of the best-selling feminist memoir/manifesto How to Be a Woman borrows events from Moran's own improbable life story, including her experiences as a teen critic for a British music magazine. The novel was a #1 bestseller in the U.K. and is the first in a planned trilogy.
How to Tell Toledo from the Night Sky
By Lydia Netzer
St. Martin's Griffin • $15.99 • ISBN 9781250047465
Is our destiny written in the stars? Netzer, author of Shine Shine Shine, creatively explores this question and other conundrums in the touching story of George and Irene, two quirky astronomers in Toledo who were meant to be together.
By David Nicholls
Harper • $15.99 • ISBN 9780062365590
Chosen by BookPage editors as one of the Best Books of 2014, Nicholls' novel captures the plight of a mild-mannered British scientist trying to hold his marriage and his family together with a last-gasp European vacation.
The Book of Strange New Things
By Michel Faber
Hogarth • $17 • ISBN 9780553418866
The author of the best-selling Victorian novel The Crimson Petal and the White explores faith and commitment in this far-future story of a Christian missionary sent to evangelize the residents of a distant planet. Meanwhile, back on Earth, his marriage and his planet appear to be falling apart.
The Happiest People in the World
By Brock Clarke
Algonquin • $15.95 • ISBN 9781616204792
Hilarious but urgently topical, Clarke's fourth novel follows the adventures of a bumbling Danish cartoonist forced to assume a new identity as a high school guidance counselor in upstate New York after his drawing of the prophet Muhammad evokes a firestorm.
In Naomi Novik's rich fantasy novel Uprooted, a girl must embark on a dangerous journey into the heart of a dark forest to face an unexpected foe. Our reviewer writes, "With a foothold firmly in the fairy-tale tradition, Novik spins an enthralling story of the classic good-versus-evil variety, where magic, monsters and romance abound." (Read the full review.)
We asked Novik to tell us about three books she's enjoyed reading lately.
This is a fascinating look into the history that doesn't ordinarily get written—the history of the losers rather than the victors, stories of European nations that don't exist anymore and how they disappeared. I also like that Davies isn't afraid to let flavor and humor into his writing: Possibly my favorite example is the immortal quote "His Head Was Not Punched" while describing the press reactions to the succession of an unwilling prince.
The wonderful thing about Maia, the emperor of the title, is that he is genuinely a decent person, and he navigates a sea of court intrigue and deliberate cruelty with enormously satisfying (and growing) competence without losing his warmth and decency. I also love the world-building, which is done so deftly that you don't even quite feel it happening, and yet you're never at sea despite the tangle of complicated relationships.
Strange Horizons recently ran a wonderful essay about Kurtz and her formative influence on the fantasy genre: She was one of the core writers who developed the field after Tolkien's work. I went through the Deryni Chronicles like a tornado as a young reader, maybe 13 or 14, but it's been years since I re-read them, so I've been rediscovering this one with pleasure. Kurtz's Kelson and Addison's Emperor Maia have a similar quality, in fact: We're allowed to like them, to enjoy their victories and mourn their losses without distance.
Thank you, Naomi! See anything you'd like to pick up, readers?

Remember the Jane Austen Project? (We're still waiting for Curtis Sittenfeld's take on P&P!) Well, Hogarth Books is launching a similar project this fall, and if you thought taking on Austen could be daunting for a writer, imagine how it must feel to try to reimagine Shakespeare.
Jeanette Winterson (Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit) is the first to take on this challenge in The Gap of Time, publishing on October 6. She's putting a spin on A Winter's Tale, one of the Bard's later and lesser-known plays, which tells the story of a king who banishes his baby daughter and is later reunited with her.
In Winterson's version, set in London after the 2008 financial crisis, the banished baby washes up on American shores before wending her way home. According to Hogarth, "Her story is one of childhood friendship, money, status, technology and the elliptical nature of time. Written with energy and wit, this is a story of the consuming power of jealousy on the one hand, and redemption and the enduring love of a lost child on the other."
Will you read it? Or will your Norton Shakespeare have to be pried out of your cold, dead hands first? (If the latter, definitely do not click here.)
