Hussey promised the 800-something women in the auditorium that he could help them manage these situations and empower themselves to be more proactive in their love lives without appearing desperate. “And then, she’ll request a tribunal of her friends to decide what it means,” he added. Hussey recounted a familiar situation: A woman calls her friend in hysterics about how a man has broken her heart and she doesn’t ever talk to him again, but then a few days later… Women giggled and cheered most of the audience was in their late 20s or early 30s, but there were many women who looked younger and much older. He looked at the crowd with a winsome half-smile and said earnestly: “Love is shit. A seven-hour seminar isn’t quite as painful when the host is as easy on the eyes as Hussey is. Women screamed like they were at a boy band concert as Hussey walked on stage in his jacket and jeans and Adidas high-tops. “YES!” said the woman, nodding vigorously. Julia leaned over me: “Do you think he’s really hot, too?” She was contemplating purchasing some of his paid online programs. She hadn’t read his book, but had watched all of his YouTube videos. I asked the woman sitting to the right of me if she was familiar with Hussey’s work. A few weeks later, I found myself waiting for Hussey to take the stage.

Hudson Newgate is the “New Guy” to his teammates on the new NHL team has been traded to, I want to pause here and say how amazing this part of the story is. Single Dad, workplace romance, sports romance, coming out story… this book transcends the genre or sub-genre you will try to put it in as the story feels so real you feel like you are experiencing two people finding their place in the world, and trying to adult and re-craft their life when that person crossed their path. I adored The New Guy by Sarina Bowen! There was no formula romance here, Bowen takes the reader on an engaging and entertaining journey as Hudson and Gavin find their forever together. Too bad Gavin and I are terrible at resisting each other… And my team needs me to score goals, not whip up a media circus. My arrogant agent–who’s also my father–will lose his mind if I’m dating a dude. What he doesn’t do is hook up with the other new guy-a hot athletic trainer who lives in my building. The new guy knows to keep his head down and shoot the puck. Brooklyn is my last chance, especially after my poor performance last season.īut I can make this work. That’s what happens when you keep getting traded. My name is Hudson Newgate, but my teammates call me New Guy.

Peter has a careless, insane adventure with a Siamese, almost loses Jennie and when he finds her, fights to the death for her.and awakens to being a boy again, ready to own a kitten of his own.Ī deep knowledge of cat lore and legend, feline psychology and behavior aims this toward a cat-loving audience, while its message of loneliness and love will find a reception among those who have a feeling for sentiment. Back in London, they find the old man dead, Peter revisits his old home, and Jennie finds the young mistress she thought had abandoned her but leaves her for Peter. In Glasgow, they are again homeless, escape vicious dogs to find safety high up in the towers of a bridge and discover they can't get down, but they achieve momentary fame when they are rescued. She saves his life, takes him to visit an old man who wants them to live with him, lures him into a trip aboard a London-Glasgow coastal boat (quite a wonderful captain and crew here) where they pay for their passage by catching mice and rats, and Peter saves Jenny from drowning. The story of Peter, 8, who in delirium after an accident, lived the life of a cat, offers a challenge to the storyteller's art-a challenge which is met with a certain amount of success.įor Peter, although knowing he has been transformed into a cat, still retains the knowledge that he is a little boy, and it is as a boy he acts, even after his good friend, Jennie Baldrin, gives him a thorough education in how to act and think like a cat. And that character never gets the happy ending.Įmily Henry decided to turn the narrative around and focus Book Lovers on that type of character and wonder if there is much more than meets the eye. Usually, they’re dressed well and very direct. This is the person who lives in the city and is aghast that their partner is having the time of their lives in the small town and could think of staying instead of shutting down the toy business, etc. If you’ve watched Hallmark Christmas movies, you know there is often times some type of villain-lite significant other. I loved the different perspective on the small town setting, the romance is done well and the protagonist’s family dynamic was compelling and interesting. But I think Book Lovers is my favorite of hers. I really enjoyed her previous novels Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation. Now that doesn’t mean these stories don’t have depth because they do and quite often, they also cover heavy topics but the mix with the lighter and the romance really helps balance some of those more intense scenes.Įmily Henry is one of my favorite romance writers. So it’s good to bring a rom-com into the mix to lighten things up a bit. Without any drama lessons or acting experience, Hunter made his film debut in a bit part in Joseph Losey’s social drama The Lawless (1950). It was Willson who turned Roy Fitzgerald into Rock Hudson, Robert Mosely into Guy Madison, Merle Johnson Jr into Troy Donahue, Francis McCown into Rory Calhoun and Arthur Gelien into Tab Hunter. Willson had an eye for good-looking men whom he would rename and get into films, sometimes in return for sexual favours. But an introduction to the actors’ agent Henry Willson changed his life. On his return home, he took a job at a riding academy. He was not discharged until almost a year later, when the deception was discovered. Following his parents’ divorce, his mother moved the children to California to get away from her abusive husband, and they took her maiden surname.Īt 15, young Arthur ran away from home to join the US Coast Guard, lying about his age. (His older brother was killed in Vietnam in 1965.) His mother was a German Roman Catholic immigrant, and his father was Jewish. Hunter was born Arthur Kelm in New York City, the younger of two sons of Charles Kelm and Gertrude Gelien. Tab Hunter and Sophia Loren in That Kind of Woman, 1959. Now he wants to know when WE get to visit the city! Sure, a trip to NYC isn’t as exotic as some of the destinations in the Magic TreeHouse series, but Liam Miguel loved glimpsing New York through the story, from the giant Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center to the massive displays of televisions in an electronics shop window. Liam Miguel noticed that Freddie never uses his powers just to get what he wants he is always looking to assist people in need, whether it’s his uncle who has lost a wedding ring or a stranger on the street. Freddie uses his special tools and skills to help others. Zapato powers! Who wouldn’t want a pair of special shoes that would let you bounce higher than buildings, run so fast you’re just a blur, and hear conversations that would be well out of typical earshot?.Here is a quick summary of what Liam Miguel said he liked about it: He gobbled the book in about three nights. The level was just right for him to read on his own, but he let me join him since we wanted to do this review. Liam Miguel’s take: Liam Miguel was six when we read this book together. Liam Miguel hanging out with his little brother, Ethan Andrés. Members of the Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of the Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's " Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950.

This was a problem for me, since I was still firmly dedicated to spending my weekends searching for treasure (and was only interested in visiting “The Mall” if I ran out of square batteries for my metal detector).Īs the year went on, I became more and more self-conscious. The girls in my year were quickly starting to become aware of boys and their looks and wanted to spend their weekends at the Wellgate Shopping Centre buying nail polish and testing make-up. This had been fine at primary school (encouraged, even) but secondary school was a different beast. I had weird shoes, an even weirder skirt, two pet rats and I played the spoons. When I first started secondary school I was labelled “weird”.

DeMatteis, co-creating the Mask, being influenced by Howard Chaykin, the virtues of Jim Shooter, working with the late, great Archie Goodwin, the Instant Piano anthology series, activism, digital drawing, unionizing artists and much more is discussed in my interview with Mark Badger. Kirby, abstract narrative, breaking into Marvel, gallery art, comics iconography, collaborating with J.M. Whether Badger's unmistakable stamp is calculated design or blithe reveling, it is above all drawn like he's "from another fucking planet", as Howard Chaykin aptly put it. I was interested in how his bold approach to cartooning functioned and what it represented throughout the comic book world. To me, that is a clear cut testament to his unique visual strength. My staggered appreciation of Mark Badger's work grew to a full blown interest and personal influence. It's a typical reaction to things that leave some sort of lasting impression on us, positive or negative, whether we want them to or not. I found myself going back to it as if though I wanted to make sure that I didn't like it. Something about his style didn't seem quite right, and yet it stayed with me. Instant Piano is the snappiest slap-in-the-face comic to hit the racks in years and presents the most sharp-witted, cynical cartoonists alive, including Mark Badger, Kyle Baker, Robbie Busch, Stephen DeStefano, and Evan Dorkin. I'll admit that it took me a while to appreciate Mark Badger's work. |
