Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. From the highly acclaimed, multiple award-winning Anthony Doerr, the beautiful, stunningly ambitious instant New York Times bestseller about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. But there’s this con-sponsored publishing contest, and the chance to meet her fandom idols… and then, there’s Teagan. Especially when her hometown bully, Miss North Carolina, shows up in the very same hotel. It’s… a lot, and Kay mostly wants to lie face down on the hotel floor. Try out they/them pronouns to see how it feels She also has a side quest for the weekend: Up and coming fanfic author Kaylee Beaumont is internally screaming at the chance to finally meet her fandom friends in real life and spend a weekend at GreatCon. But I liked this much more than that book and THIS IS GAY! I despise comparing it to Fangirl but because of the fandom talk/fanfiction parts of the story, it did remind me of that a little bit. It’s got fandom, fanfiction, queer love, figuring things out, and standing up for what you believe in. Some books are just so happy and accepting that you can’t help but smile and feel all warm inside when you read them. Also populating Hawkins’ narrative coterie are Nel’s snarky daughter Lena, her estranged sister, a psychic, a tough school principal and Katie’s resentful mother. Nel had been writing a history of the infamous drowning pool, which didn’t endear her to the rest of the town. In Part 1, Section 1, spanning from pages 5-60, the novel begins in 2015 from the perspective of Jules telling the reader she had just learned of her a woman named Nel going in the water and that she has to. The deceased: a teenager named Katie and her best friend’s mother Nel. Before Part 1, the novel starts with a story about the drowning of a woman named Libby from the perspective of The Drowning Pool. But when two women die within months of each other, people begin to suspect foul play. Into the Wateronce again throws a group of women together, this time in the English village of Beckford, where a riverbank cliff and the “drowning pool” beneath make for a popular suicide spot. Though it doesn’t have “girl” in the title, Hawkins‘ new book is in the same vein. (O.K., that last one’s not real - yet.) These books center on complicated, flawed or unlikable female protagonists, boldly going where so many males have gone before. Paula Hawkins rode to fame on her 2015 hit The Girl on the Train, a book that deftly deploys the “girl” thriller subgenre that includes Gone Girl, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Before, The Girl from Home, The Girl on the Bridge and The Girls on the Bus Go Round and Round. Culture, hegemony and ideology must be part of any study of popular culture.

As Fogg's current "Valet" (Test Subject) quits, Passepartout lands in Fogg's garden and volunteers for the job, as it's a convenient way to get away from the police who are pursuing him. Secondly, we meet Phileas Fogg (played by Steve Coogan), an inventor who seems obsessed with creating new and faster modes of transportation.

The lack of suspects made it easy to zero in on the guilty party. It enjoyed following Mae as she searched for clues to help solve the murder of Craig Sutton. I love the picturesque descriptions of Normal, Happy Trails, and the Daniel Boone National Park. There is a great cast of characters from Dottie down to Fifi. She has really turned her life around since she arrived to find the rundown campground and her louse of an ex-husband dead.
