“宇宙实际上是一个多元宇宙. Countless dimensions exist, all layered within one another.  Each dimension represents one set of possibilities. Essentially, everything that can happen does happen.我喜欢这个主意.  Not only as the premise for Claudia Gray‘s new series, which debuts this Fall with 《一千个碎片的你, but as a thought experiment and a beacon of wonder.  One tiny choice can change your destiny, right? Imagine who you’d be if you’d chosen another career, 另一个伙伴, 甚至开车走不同的路线去上班.  Of course, all these minor changes probably don’t amount to much in阅读更多→

Those who bristle at the mention of fantasy literature often suggest that believing in magic or miracles is a snare and a crutch, that society will only realize its full potential if we depend on our brains and strong arms instead.  但如果没有希望，我们会在哪里, that irrational but powerful force with the ability to magic us back to mental health and give us the strength to carry on against impossible odds?  This is one of the questions posed by Lauren Kate in 水下降, a novel that explores the power of emotions in the context of an ancient conflict between the Sleeping阅读更多→

It’s been awhile since the last time I fell head over heels in love. And, like all really good loves, I wasn’t looking for it.  确定, I was anticipating a good story (I loved her first effort) but, “Hi-Yo, 银”, I was not prepared for my intense reaction to Kristin Levine‘s 纸牛仔.  I’ve set aside everything else and have read this book 3 times (and that’s saying a lot) because there is just so much to unpack within these amazingly written 333 pages.  Rumor has it that there’s already buzz for the Newbery list (I hope so!)，我等不及有人阅读更多→

我喜欢好的骗子.  电影, 电视节目, 书——没关系, 真的——不管媒体怎么说, when the wool is pulled over someone’s eyes (especially when we thought we were on the look-out), 这是一种真正的刺激.  I’m especially enraptured by the reveal: going back through those moments of deception, 误导, 还有细微差别, 现在它就摆在眼前了, I wonder at how I (and the mark) could have been so blind.  But that’s all part of the fun, the lure, and the draw to this genre, isn’t it?
