![]() Hot darn! Nudity with sex is always a selling point for me! LOL The Boss’s Mistress, illustrated by Fujiwara-sensei, looks hot. And Kakuko Shinozaki’s drawings sure give this a nice mature appearance. Lynne Graham’s Reluctant Mistress, Blackmailed Wife looks intense. And this series comprises 6 books, so there’s a lot of translation waiting here. I’m saying this because the publisher has started the multi-author Park avenue scandals mini-series with High-Society Secret Pregnancy. But there are still lots of pending series the publisher started and has yet to complete. I’m glad we finally get the last 2 books of From This Day Forward. ![]() I just regret that many untranslated HQc are drawn by artists whose art styles hurt my eyes, especially when they are adapting novels or writers I love. I can only agree if this is the publisher’s new policy. I may be wrong in my assumptions, but I have the feeling since last summer releases, compared to the first ebooks from over a year ago, that the artists selected for the English-speaking market have nice or neutral art styles. All of them look interesting and what pleases me even more, is that I like most art styles from this batch. ![]()

Given the pressure to pack maximum entertainment into a 2-hour movie, perhaps it’s the written word that provides better opportunities. Surprisingly, Hollywood didn’t repeat this successful formula in later years subsequent time travel movies like 12 Monkeys (1995), Source Code (2011) and Looper (2012) have used time displacement as an element in a mystery/ thriller rather than to explore cultural differences. A big part of the charm of the Back to the Future movies was seeing Marty McFly try to navigate a culture from 30 years in his past. Splash (mermaid among land-dwellers almost literally ‘fish out of water’!), Big (corporate world from a kid’s perspective) and even Cocoon (senior citizens suddenly able to participate in the activities of younger people).Īnd of course, using time travel as a device opens up many entertaining possibilities. In the 80’s there were some ‘fantasy’ movies in Hollywood which explored this trope from various angles, e.g. ![]() The country bumpkin in the city, the city dweller in the countryside ( City Slickers) or the foreigner in another land ( Coming to America) – these kinds of stories have used culture clashes as a basis for humor and melodrama. We are all familiar with the ‘fish out of water’ trope in fiction. ![]() ![]() It explores the cosmic coincidences that might explain our existence and concludes with the tantalizing suggestion that intelligent alien life is likely. ![]() Our Cosmic Origins shows how the coupling of eye and brain led to self-awareness and intelligence.

While I faintly recollect possessing this book, and reading some of it (did I ever finish reading it?), it was not among my favourites. Who thought of it? A Penelope Lively reader? One of my aunts, now estranged, was quite the reader, we used to hang out in her attic room on Sundays when my cousins, my sister and I went over for dinner with the grandparents (she always chased us out) and I would browse her shelves – perhaps it was her? Or was it just a bargain book at a sale? I ask my mother but she doesn’t remember the book. But I do have this recollection of a pale sort of cover, not the sort of the book that would attract a child.Īs I read the book today, decidedly not a child, I wonder who bought this book for us. But I’ve googled book covers and have yet to find anything resemble what I remember. ![]() As I think back now, I recall a cover with an ammonite, a hint of a beach (or a cliff?) and a girl. ![]() I’m not quite sure why A Stitch in Time was among my bookshelves as a child. ![]() |
