My synopsis brings very little colour to the narrative that is bursting with it but just take it as it is. Strange things are afoot in the inn and Milo is helped by the cook’s daughter, Meddy, in figuring out what is going with the guests. The novel is set in the titular Greenglass house, an inn, and focuses on Milo, the twelve year old adopted son of the inn keepers and the events that conspire during a week or so when unexpected guests and the inn keepers (and son) are snowed in due to a blizzard. I dismissed the hype as I usually do because following the hype has led me to some pretty bad experiences and decided to just plunge into the book without any preconceived notions except for the ones evoked by the absolutely gorgeous cover. Greenglass House by Kate Milford was nominated for a national book award and prior to reading it, I had begun seeing it cropping up everywhere: on book haul videos on youtube, on book haul posts on blogs I read, people tweeting about it and instagramming it.

To make matters worse, he has a giant stuck in his well, and the adventurers’ guilds are pounding on his door for the chance to kill it (which is more than a little annoying, as all Arnold wants to do is focus on taking his trap method wide while he builds a farm to give down-on-their-luck farmers like him a chance). Ever wonder what happened to the Isekai’d gamer who found himself incarnated into the overweight body of a LitRPG farmer, only to spit in the face of destiny and earn more money and experience than anyone ever dreamed possible? Fairytales would have you believe he lived happily ever after, but life doesn’t always match up to fairytale endings.Īccidentally murdered by a cleric in another universe during a botched resurrection, Arnold, a semi-pro gamer turned clerical error, has now become a thorn in the vindictive Northern Regent’s side. The font is especially fitting it’s beautiful, breezy, and easy. I really love this cover, especially how the title doesn’t cover Jacqueline and Lucas’ faces. Suddenly appearances are everything, and knowing who to trust is anything but easy. Lucas remains protective, but he’s hiding secrets of his own. When her attacker turns stalker, Jacqueline has a choice: crumple in defeat or learn to fight back. Her friends nominate him to be the perfect rebound. Rescued by a stranger who seems to be in the right place at the right time, she wants nothing more than to forget the attack and that night – but her savior, Lucas, sits on the back row of her econ class, sketching in a notebook and staring at her. Leaving a party alone, Jacqueline is assaulted by her ex’s frat brother. After two weeks in shock, she wakes up to her new reality: she’s single, attending a state university instead of a music conservatory, ignored by her former circle of friends, and failing a class for the first time in her life. When Jacqueline follows her longtime boyfriend to the college of his choice, the last thing she expects is a breakup two months into sophomore year.

Friedman is way off base in suggesting that Kamala Harris may be saved by giving her a variety of portfolios.
