![]() ![]() Slowly, The Realm of Possibility paints a vivid picture of a single high school, and the unique viewpoints and relationships of all of the students that make it up.ĭavid Levithan’s The Realm of Possibility is a beautifully written verse novel about young love, from the romantic to the familial to the platonic, of teenagers in a single community. And in between these poems one beginnings to sense a connection, be it an individual whose thoughts narrated one poem showing up as a character in another individual’s story, another individuals poem. In another, a young lesbian writes song about her unrequited crush on another girl. In one poem, we learn of two gay boys, in throughs of love, sharing a single cigarette in the pale moonlight. Have you ever wondered what goes on in the minds of peers? What secret longing they have? What thoughts they keep hidden, showing only the face that they, and society, want to show the world? David Levithan’s The Realm of Possibility explores all of these things, and nature of teen relationships as well. ![]() The Realm of Possibility, by David LevithanĪlfred A. ![]()

But lady! Show some spine! I've read books with that go along the Cinderella lines, step parents, blah blah. I don't blame her for her parent's death or her mistreatment by her relatives. Female Mc is a toe tag, a proper maiden in distress. None of the witty banter and sweet romantic dialogues for which one picks up a historical romance novel.ġ5.

She longs to fit in, and she’s terrified she won’t. When Caitlyn shows up to the Mitchell School, that’s the place she’s in. Those things appear in entry after entry. Oh, that yearning! I still have my middle school diary, and that’s the primary thing that leaps out from those pages: my desperation to fit in, to belong…and my constant nagging fear that I don’t. There are many wonderful, relatable threads woven into this book, but particularly poignant in the opening scenes is that adolescent yearning, even desperation, to fit in. 2019 Gr 5-8), is a heartwarming examination of megastars, goats, friendship, and finding your own best self. ![]() Ali Benjamin’s sophomore novel, The Next Great Paulie Fink (Little, Brown, Apr.

Bedford’s mistake here is looking at a 1962 event involving a young and unsuccessful local band through a 2017 Beatles Inc. The second is his completely ridiculous thesis about Pete’s firing and the other Beatles’ – as well as Epstein’s – fear that Pete would get an attorney to protest it. Yes, he’s entitled to an opinion, but that turns this work into something other than non-fiction. Likewise his suppositions about the Decca audition and how Decca had no intention of signing them – there’s just no evidence to support that. The JEMI session is a good example in that it’s a mystery that will likely never be solved due to conflicting testimony and evidence, but that doesn’t stop Bedford from making a conclusion based on a gut feeling he has. The first is that Bedford, despite all the claimed research, is not historian – he’s a guy with some hunches and tries very hard to support those hunches with bits and pieces of inconclusive evidence. Listening to this interview, two things seem clear to me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() So…after having screamed a little at the screen, I started over. I was sure I’d written blog posts about Psy Cops, A reason to Believe, The Ghost on my Couch and others, but then I realised I’ve shared them on social media in ‘My favourite books with blue covers’ and stuff like that, but apparently I haven’t blogged.Īnd then when I had fixed all the data I wanted to include, WordPress decided to scatter the pictures all over and mash up the captions where I had added links everywhere. Pretty fast I realised that I don’t blog as much as I think I do. I believed there would be plenty because in my mind there are, but once I started going through my read list I realised I’ve read lots of stories with ghosts in them, I also realised most of them were M/F books…īut, I sat about fixing this page, inserting covers, linking to shops and to posts on my site where I’ve written about the books. I had this brilliant idea of gathering all the M/M Ghost Stories I’ve read in one place. ![]() |
