![]() His characters have some wonderful one-liners and his characters' conversations definitely almost always pass the Bechdel Test, so yey. PTerry is good at dialogue, but he isn't brilliant. ![]() What you rely on in a comicbookgraphicnovel is the dialogue. His words flow like silk over melting butter-or other such things that have little or no friction-and as a nice side-effect of this, the stories develop in a lovely way that has all that stuff we love in a good story, like excellent pace and all the words in the right place. ![]() But the way he tells them is one of the most sublime things in the literary world. His stories are top notch but they're never excellent, brilliant, superbly thought-out or anything much different to what you get elsewhere. So, with my pathetic knowledge and experience of comicbookgraphicnovels and my superb knowledge and great experience of Terry Pratchett, let's get started.Įverything that Terry is great at can't really be translated in to pictures. Same thing, right? Nope.Īnd secondly, I love Terry Pratchett and will read anything with his name on it, even those terrible sci-fi books he wrote with that other dude. I am not a comic book person, but I love illustrated editions of books. ![]() I have only read four comic books (or graphic novels? I swear I don't know the difference, I am not taking the piss) before and those were sexist and pointless. ![]() ![]() I really enjoyed this conversation, and I hope you do too! We take a deep dive into how she became an author, the role her chronic illnesses play in how she works, what it’s like writing characters inspired by your personal experiences, “incidental” diversity (inspired by Olivia Dade talking about incidental fat rep), and much more.Įven if writing isn’t something you’re interested in as a career or hobby, we discuss aspects of living and working with chronic illness that I’m sure will hit home for many! Supposedly, there is a world beyond that room, but she has yet to drum up enough interest to investigate,” and ooh is that relatable! Talia says she “lives in a bedroom full of books. ![]() Her latest book is “Act Your Age, Eve Brown”, an autistic romance, and her first book “Get a Life, Chloe Brown” features a protagonist living with Fibromyalgia. In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant New York Times bestselling author of steamy, diverse romance, Talia Hibbert. ![]() Hello and welcome to a very belated blog version of the The Rest Room – a podcast about living well with chronic illness.

A rare tattoo now adorns Rose’s neck, a mark that says she’s killed far too many Strigoi to count. And, for the few victims carried off by Strigoi, their fates are even worse. Vladimir’s Academy devastated the entire Moroi world. “Rose Hathaway’s life will never be the same.

Like failing to pay a parking permit or filing taxes on time, these migrants are only accused of an "administrative offense." But unlike those other offenses, these are some of the only ones which lead to detention. They're deemed flight risks and detained for overstaying their visas or permits, or for having their permanent or refugee status revoked. Pending deportation, the Canadian governments puts migrants in immigration hold, separating them from their families, making adequate legal counsel inaccessible and subjecting them to constant lockdowns. Immigration detention is Canada's fastest growing form of incarceration. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wade Carter (Liam Cunningham), something of a renegade with alarmist tendencies and experiences with this “enemy” in other forms. ![]() Jerry Jaax (Noah Emmerich), and several of her superiors, especially when she summons her mentor Dr. ![]() Jaax’s obsession with outbreak concerns her husband, Lt.

Hart and Kelly Souders, Brian Peterson and Jeff Vintar, what’s airing on NatGeo is a reasonably straight-forward adaptation that has, sadly, lost absolutely none of its relevance.
