In the former United States, sixteen-year-old Noam Álvaro wakes up in a hospital bed, the sole survivor of the viral magic that killed his family and made him a technopath. His ability to control technology attracts the attention of the minister of defense and thrusts him into the magical elite of the nation of Carolinia.

The son of undocumented immigrants, Noam has spent his life fighting for the rights of refugees fleeing magical outbreaks - refugees Carolinia routinely deports with vicious efficiency. Sensing a way to make change, Noam accepts the minister's offer to teach him the science behind his magic, secretly planning to use it against the government. But then he meets the minister's son - cruel, dangerous, and achingly beautiful - and the way forward becomes less clear.

Caught between his purpose and his heart, Noam must decide who he can trust and how far he's willing to go in pursuit of the greater good.

The Fever King Feverwake Book 1 Audible Audio Edition Victoria Lee Michael Crouch Brilliance Audio Books Reviews

• Note that this book is #1 in gay and lesbian fiction. If this is not your usual genre you might want to save your free book for something else.
• The Fever King is a dystopian science fantasy set in the future united states, a land ravaged by viral magic. While the premise is promising, there are a few glaring issues that kept me from continuing.
  This book is filled to the brim with leftist propoganda, from the pushing of the "horrible deportation of illegal immigrants" to outright parodying common hateful protests such as "impeach Trump". The problem isn't that these ideas are in the book, it's that they're pushed on the reader so forcefully that it detracts from the story, to the point where you might as well be reading straight-up propoganda.
• In Carolina, a country part of the what was once the United States, sixteen-year-old Noam Álvaro wakes up alone in a hospital bed. Sent there after deadly viral magic swept through his neighborhood, he’s now alone, his family killed. Still, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Now a technopath thanks to deadly magic, his ability to control technology attracts the Minister of Defense. Inviting Noam to train with the magical elite, he’s asked to help serve his country by training to become one of their elite magical soldiers. But as the son of undocumented immigrants in a country whose Prime Minister promotes nothing but oppression of immigrants, the last thing Noam wants to do is help the government and wipe away the years he’s spent fighting for the refugees. So he embraces the opportunity as a way to finally make change, accepting the minister’s offer to teach him the science behind his magic and secretly planning to use it against the government. But when he meets the minister’s ward and all his dangerous beauty, Noam becomes less certain if what he’s doing is right. Stuck between his longing for change and wishes for love, Noam must decide if trust is a thing he can give out liberally, or if the more he lends his heart out, the faster his world might come crashing down around him.
  This book was what I’ve been waiting for for so. Damn. Long. Ever since the day I saw one of the author’s beautiful aesthetics on her twitter (which you should definitely check out) I knew that I had to read this book. Why, you may ask, were you hooked on this book from the start? For most books, this might be a relatively hard question to answer. But for The Fever King, I never once questioned my seemingly undying love for its concept, characters, plot, setting, and just about everything else. So, let’s go over a few of these.
  
  “Power’s a nasty thing, and none of us are immune.”
  
  The first aspect that I was completely in love with was one that I feel isn’t discussed that frequently dark characters. I’ve read many synopsizes and descriptions of books, and I feel like a common theme in many of them is saying that the book contains ‘dark’ characters or themes. As the person that I am, this attracts me to the point where I would do anything to get my hands on the book. The problem occurs when I get the book and finally get to read it. The book that claimed so frequently to be filled with darkness and pain, isn’t, leading me to feel let disappointed. When it came to The Fever King, I was excited because yes, it’s described by having dark characters, but the author also backed this up with amazing aesthetics and excerpts of things such as the first chapter (subscribe to her newsletter for more of this). And when I finally got to read the actual book… well it’s safe to say that excited couldn’t even get close to describing how I felt. Like, WOW. From page one, an almost painful sense of sorrow can be felt through the pages of Noam’s story as he goes through trauma unlike anything else I’ve read before. And even when something ‘light’ occurs, the sense that something can still go wrong is prevalent. This is caused by a few different elements, one of which being articles that the author includes at the ends of some chapters. The true definition of dark and particularly clinical, these articles chronical one of the character’s trauma while helping to promote the overall feel of the book by creating its dark history. Horrid descriptions of terrifying experiments and twisted recorded conversations are featured through these, making the reading wonder just how destructive and horrifying this world is.
  
  “I take back what I said about silence.”
  
  These articles would mean nothing without the setting. In a post-war Carolina, the world is in shambles. Yes, there are some ‘good’ parts to some of the cities, but most of the people live in disease-ridden ruin and struggle to survive because of the poor treatment they receive. So who exactly are these people who are treated so horribly? They’re citizens from the country lining Carolina’s border—Atlantia. Fleeing their home country to purse a better, safer life in Carolina, they’re often treated like disease ridden rats, given little if any rights, treated horribly, and left to die by the hundreds from the viral magic. Being Atlantian is a big part of Noam’s identity. Fighting for Atlantian rights for as long as he’s been alive, all he wants to do is to continue in his parent’s footsteps and help them. I loved how Lee included this aspect into her book and wove it in so beautifully. The way she discusses a topic so current to our world is breathtaking. Readers will appreciate how she didn’t just mention it once and let it be, but fully ingrained this theme throughout the book, showcase the horrid and disgusting lengths that some leaders might go to prove a point or please the wealthy. The way that she discussed fascism in a young adult book was truly unique, and how she dealt with it even more so.
  
  “ ‘That’s super Atlantian territory now, right? I heard it’s pretty overcrowded, with all the refugees.’
  ‘Yeah. I guess it’s…’—what the hell was he even saying?—‘super Atlantian.’”
  
  This theme was seen prominently in Noam and how he dealt with things. As I mentioned before, Noam was practically raised in fear of the Carolinian government and all that they might do to his people. But he was also proactive in his fight against them, doing all he could possibly do to help. When he was originally taken to train, he almost decided not to go but changed his mind when he discovered the power that his new role could grant him. And though he learns not to be so fearful of the pain the government could inflict on him simply because he was Atlantain, his pain and motivation doesn’t lessen. If anything, it gets stronger. The character of Noam is one that would appeal to many in this sense because the sheer motivation and anger that pushes him to act. I loved how he embodied all those that are marginalized and pushed down. The way he moves in such fervor to get to his goal, the way he can be blinded by his ambition at times but still fights for what he believes in, is breath-taking. One other aspect that is so refreshing about his character is that though he actively fights, he still feels the pain of being an Atlanitan. In the quote above, he takes part in a conversation with others from the training center where they say things about his people that, while are not necessarily horrible, are degrading and uncomfortable. Readers would appreciate this as Lee shows the various sides of the immigrant, or minority, experience. How these people speak so plainly about another’s people, thinking of them as a nuance and not as a struggling minority group, and can’t comprehend how horrible their words are, is sadly something that happens every day.
  
  “A moment passed, then Dara abruptly turned his face away. His spine was too straight, head bowed like he was waiting for the blade to fall.”
  
  The fight for immigrant rights wasn’t the only aspect of the book that helped make it the masterpiece that it is. Trauma, a thing that Lee showcased beautifully, was heavily present. And though it was written more obviously for some and more hidden in others, it was such a strong aspect of the book that it would not be complete without it. Now this is the part of my review where I WISH everyone already read it because DAMN I NEED TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THIS. But, I will contain myself and hopefully still successfully explain the absolutely magnificent job Lee did with including this in the book. In the world we live in, there are a few main types of reaction to trauma, including the person who does something about it, the person who allows it to ruin them, and the person who allows it to engrain with their being and take over their world. Each of these people are present in this book. Written in a way that felt oh so real, these characters in no way behaved like Lee just read an article about trauma and decided to write it into her book. Instead, Lee gives them each their own variations and made sure that not a single aspect about them was left loose and sloppy. From subtle things that readers might not notice right away, to aspects of a personality that both the reader and characters won’t realize are destructive until too late, Lee uses this aspect to once again give a new dimension to her characters. This blends in with how she describes the immigrant experience. Many people don’t think much beyond immigrants besides the fact that they are there. Fewer think about helping them. It’s an even smaller group that thinks about what they might be going through once they are ‘safe’ or a full citizen. This is the group of people that Lee seeks to expand. And while this is not necessarily true for all of her characters that experiencing trauma, it’s still an important part them. Lee includes these themes to help educate the youth, something that can’t be said for many books in the same genre. By exposing readers to new aspects of life, she helps turn a simple book into something that means much more.
  
  “ ‘You’re Jewish?’
  Lehrer lifted a brow. ‘Do they leave that part out of the history books? He said, and Noam laughed, surprising himself.”
  
  Another aspect that was much needed in the YA world was all the representation it had, in particular the Jewish and LGBTQ rep. I’ll preface this that while LGBTQ+ used to only be popular in contemporary, they are slowly starting to make their way into fantasy. And the same could be said for books with Jewish themes/characters, only much less so in fantasy. And though I like to specifically seek out books that have these themes, it’s quite rare for me to satisfy both my love of fantasy and my yearning for a Jewish/LGBTQ rep book at the same time. Because of this, I believe that it is safe to say that I have actually never read a book that not only showcased LGBTQ characters in a speculative fiction book, but Jewish characters as well. Too say that I was excited would be undershooting how I felt about this. In fact, as soon as I heard that The Fever King was a book that featured both magic, gays, and Jews, I knew that I would have to read it right away. I could not stress this enough but, wow, did the author not only write these aspects in a way that will make readers swoon, but also made them feel heard. As a Jew myself, I couldn’t help but freak out whenever something Jewish-y was mentioned. And as someone who loves LGBTQ representation in books, I couldn’t stop fangirling when an um…certain pair… did basically anything together. And the fact that Jewish references were featured so prominently through this, blew me away. This was particularly meaningful because these two groups are so rarely seen together, so the fact that Lee was able to combine them in a way that didn’t feel forced but meant to be, was absolutely amazing.
  
  “He wasn’t eating a proper dinner, just picking the red pieces from a bag of sour candies. He’s accumulated quite the pile next to his lukewarm potatoes.”
  
  This review would not be complete without mentioning the beautifully crafted side characters. Each with their own characteristics and personalities, I loved how Lee didn’t just write them for the sake of writing them, but wrote them to be a part of the story. I know this sound kind of silly because of course they were written to be a part of the story. But what most readers might not realize is that often times when an author mentions themes like immigration and trauma, or have certain types of representation including, they reserve them for either just the main character(s) or just the side characters. Lee, on the other hand, did not want to stick with that. Readers will appreciate how she took some themes from the main cast and carried it over to the rest of the characters. By doing this, she proves that those themes shouldn’t just be used as a way to make a particular character seem ‘special’, but expand it to show how similar different people could be. Readers will be able to fall in love with her side cast of characters just as easily as with Noam and Dara, slowly, but then all at once.
  I would also like to really quickly address the magic system that is featured in this story. Truly unlike anything else I’ve ever read, I was completely obsessed with it from the moment I read about how the viral magic was something people feared, not sought. With most magic books that I’ve read, having magic is something that is wanted and held on a high pedestal. But in The Fever King, it was something to run from. From the very beginning we learn that Noam is the only survivor of the viral magic that swept through his whole neighborhood. And that’s what happens when you have such a low survival rate, only one out of thousands may make it out alive. Readers will find this captivating as it means that for one person to have powers, hundreds of people have to die. I thought that this added yet another dimension to the darkness of the book, but also increased the urgency of which Noam must save his people. Never have I thought that a book’s magic system would serve as almost an antagonist, which was something I enjoyed greatly in this book.
  Wow, well that was definitely something. This review meant so much for me to write because I cherished this book so much. Filled to the brim with so many emotions, it’s clear that Lee poured her being into making this book as beautiful and perfect as it could be. From the representation showcased, to the characters that demand to be adored, to the plot that is guarantees to make readers scream because WHY????, Lee wrote precisely the type of novel for me. Utterly perfect in every sense of the word The Fever King is not a book to be missed. If you found yourself interested in any of the themes I mentioned, don’t hesitate to check this book out on Goodreads and maybe even preorder. Inspired by true pain and built in a magical world unlike any other, The Fever King will shock you with the horrors it showcases, but make you fall in love all the same.
• I picked this book because it's a YA. I generally enjoy YA's although they're far different than they were when I was young. There's a lot of profanity in this book (although not more than most young people use today) and the main character is gay.
  
  It's set in 2118. A nuclear war has destroyed the United States and left only a few outposts which have formed into independent states. The states are armed camps, distrustful of each other and with wealth very unevenly distributed. In Carolinia, the Haves live in luxury and health. The Have-Nots are mostly refugees from the poor adjacent country, Atlantia. They are barely tolerated by the native Carolinians and live in harsh poverty, under constant threat of deportation. Still they cross the border because the poverty and sickness in their own land is even worse.
  
  Noam was born to undocumented Atlantians. To make him even more of an outcast, his family is Jewish. His mother committed suicide and his father is dying. Noam dropped out of school early and works three jobs, while volunteering at the Refugee Center. Then a wave of infectious illness sweeps the poor neighborhood where he lives and Noam is the only survivor. The fever leaves him with magical powers. He is (like many of the elite Carolinians) a witching. And he is taken to live in the government complex.
  
  Level !V is a training ground for teen witchings. Noam is the odd man out. The other teens come from privileged backgrounds and their schooling has been far more extensive than Noam's. He has to work overtime to catch up. Magic doesn't come easily, but must be built on a firm knowledge of math and physics. But Noam has one advantage over the others. His power is technopathy. Telepathy is knowing what another person is thinking. Technopathy is knowing what another person has typed into his digital device. Since most people now spend far more time typing than thinking, it's a valuable skill.
  
  Most of the adults in charge of Level IV are unimpressed with Noam, but he has the backing of Defense Minister Lehrer. Calix Lehrer and his late brother led the battle to make Carolinia an independent nation after the nuclear holocaust. He was once king, but resigned to allow a democratic government. 100 years later, he's still a force and even corrupt Chancellor Sacha dares not offend his country's great hero. But exactly what does Lehrer stand for?
  
  Noam is torn between his fascination with Level IV and his guilt at deserting his own people. He's determined to gain power so that he can help the poor community which is his real home. And he DOES gain power, aided by his mentor Lehrer. It seems that at last there is hope that the Atlantia refugees will be granted citizenship and given access to education, medical care, and jobs. But like all revolutions, it comes at a terrible price.
  
  I think this book works because the author never forgets that these teen witchings are simply kids. Straight or gay, with magic powers or without, in the 22nd Century or 1950, the basic characteristics of teens don't vary much. The journey from childhood to adulthood is a tricky and frequently painful one. Typically, Minister Lehrer sees the value of recruiting a young person from the refugee community, but the youngsters are suspicious of this kid who doesn't look or act like them. Teens never welcome the unknown. They're having enough trouble figuring out how to deal with the known.
  
  Magic powers don't make it any easier for a young person to navigate in a world that comes with no instruction sheet. They must feel their way, learning by trial and error who is trustworthy and who isn't. Each one must find a cause worth living and dying for. And each must decide how much sacrifice that cause is worth.
  
  This book was outside of my usual range, but I'm glad I read it.
• The Fever King is what you get when you leave X-Men and Vicious alone in a room with proper mood lighting, then toss in a detailed post-post-apocalyptic setting and some incredibly nuanced YA characters for good measure. If that doesn't sell you on how amazing this book is, I have no idea what will.
• I don't care if this is gay or lesbian fiction, it's just poor fiction. The post apocalyptic genre has been done much better. This author needs to improve a lot. Boring, uninteresting, could feel my brain cells diminishing in size trying to read this junk. My time is better spent doing anything other than wasting it reading this book.

New York Times best-selling romance author Jude Deveraux continues her breakout Medlar Mystery series with a twisted tale of guilt and revenge....

The small town of Lachlan, Florida, was rocked last year when two bodies were uncovered in the roots of a fallen tree. Despite their lack of investigative experience, Sara Medlar; her niece, Kate; and Jack Wyatt found themselves at the center of the mystery, working together to reveal the truth behind a decades-old secret in the sleepy town. After a narrow escape, they vowed to never again involve themselves in something so dangerous - until Janet Beeson is murdered.

When Janet's body is discovered, everyone is shocked by the violence of the attack. The sweet little old woman has been shot, stabbed, and poisoned, but no one can imagine who would want to harm one of the town's kindest, most helpful residents.

Sara, Kate, and Jack are determined to leave this case to the professionals. But they are soon bombarded by townspeople eager to tell their stories and clear their names with the trio who solved the Morris murders. Even the sheriff is hoping they'll lend their skills to a crime that seems to have no explanation and no motive. And once the town gets talking, they begin to see that there are more secrets buried in quiet Lachlan than anyone could have imagined....

A Justified Murder Audible Audio Edition Jude Deveraux Susan Bennett Recorded Books Books Reviews

• There is none of the charm, none of the warmth that I have come to expect from Jude Devereaux. When I came across the first book in this series, I was thrilled as it had been a while since I had read one of her books. I was only so -so about it, but I preordered the next book in the series. Since that time, I had re-read several of the older Jude Devereaux books, and remembered why I had liked them so much.
  
  This book is nothing like them. I never got into the story, I don't care about the characters and i only finished it because I skipped to the end.
• I feel as if I started in the middle of a book and I could put it down and not read for 2 or 3 days. This book isn’t one of her better books. I have read most of her books and I have stayed up half the night just to finish. This one wasn’t one that kept me reading
• What's not to love for any Jude Deveraux fan. The 1st book was amazing and this was as well, a must read
• Seemed very disjointed. I felt it was difficult to follow the storyline, things jumped around too much to be able connect all the pieces. I usually enjoy her books, but this one was a disappointment for me.
• A kindly old women is discovered dead. She is the victim of a three way murder. She was poisoned, stabbed in the chest with a knife and shot in the head. Sara, Kate and Jack vow not to get involved with the case, but since some of their friends had dealings with the deceased and have motives for her murder they are looking to help. They discover the deceased is not the sweet person everyone thinks she is, but who would comet such a terrible crime? The complications are from a want to be author, a reporter who is looking to write his big story and a retired detective who is obsessed with solving a decades old kidnapping. All this is woven into a wonderful story that has your interest to the very end. One of her best!
• This is the second book in her Medlar series. I didn't really care for the first but gave this one a try hoping it was better. The main characters do not really draw me in. The plot was ok in this book but honestly everything is so disjointed it doesn't flow. I posted a review on the first book stating that I couldn't believe that Jude Deveraux wrote this book as it had none of her writing style in it. Same for this second book. There are so many characters to the story that when you put the book down it is hard to remember who is who when you pick it back up. The book is not the kind that you can't put down. The end left you hanging and that is so annoying. Won't be buying the 3 rd installment. Give us back the original Jude!
• I have been reading Jude Deveraux books for longer than I want to say, because that would give away my age! Not Jude's of course. Anyway, this book leaves you unsure until the end, just who did it! Even, then are you sure? The characters are the kind of folks you would enjoy a glass of tea with. You would enjoy spending time in their town, and in Sara's home. If you give it a read, I think you will enjoy it as much as any of her other series!!
• This story keeps you turning the page to find out what happens next. Despite not wanting to get involved in another murder investigation, Sara, Jack and Kate are drawn into the inconsistency of Janet Beeson's murder. The more they find out the more it hits closer to home. The answer could ruin the life of one of their friends in Lachlan, Florida . Can they solve the murder without old secrets coming out?

Hashimoto Food Pharmacology Nutrition Protocols and Healing Recipes to Take Charge of Your Thyroid Health edition by Izabella Wentz Professional Technical eBooks Reviews

• I preorderd this book and got it delivered on its release date because I had such high hopes for it. I wanted to love it. But honestly, I'm not sure it will work for the average, working person/family. To follow the specific meal plans, you will need to set aside a significant portion of your day to cook. Day 3 of Intro Week is literally hours of prep and cook time. Also, several recipes, in addition to the daily morning smoothie, require a scoop of a specific Rootcology protein powder which runs $80 per canister on . Obviously at this price point, it may be not feasible for many people's household budget, especially if you're a mom who is having to increase the recipe sizes to feed a big family.
  
  On the upside, it's a beautiful book, lovely pictures, and great info on Hashimotos. Just maybe not the best solution for a busy, working, middle class family.
• Excellent! Izabella's comprehensive book offers super easy meal plans which are easy to implement along with any diet you may be following. This book will also help you understand how to approach your symptom burden (pain, IBS, hair loss, brain fog, etc) common in people with thyroid disease through the use of healing foods that are nutritious and delicious. The recipes are delicious and the pictures are gorgeous. As a nurse-nutritionist who works exclusively with women with Hashimoto's, I am recommending this book to all my clients.
• I have say, as a very educated and very smart author Izabella Wentz has changed my life with her findings when it comes to having an autoimmune disease that all my doctors have failed to help. So informative and simply clever. I'm still reading the book but its very nice pace in terms of a book that educations, teaches and helps you learn to be a new person again. Lovely work, there is charm, intelligence, and care put into this book.
• I absolutely LOVE this book. Izabella does a fabulous job of explaining Hashimoto's and the principles and science that support her healing through nutrition approach. She explains the "why" behind the concepts she presents. I found the information in this book comprehensive and extremely helpful. It goes way beyond typical medical advice. As an integrative health coach and person with Hashimoto's, I know firsthand how powerful and life-changing this material is. Izabella takes a difficult subject and breaks it down into easy, manageable steps. I just started trying the healthy recipes and so far they are delicious. I am dairy and gluten-free and can eat all the recipes in this book - yay! The directions are simple and the photographs are beautiful. I can't wait to keep trying new ones. I am now recommending it to all my clients who have Hashimoto's as well as people with other autoimmune conditions.
• I have bought numerous cookbooks over the years, paleo, mediteranean, and this and that...and based on my genetics, my food sensitivies and my thyroid health I always end up a little deflatted. But this book... finally a book for me!!!
  First recipe in picture, bison meatballs, so so good.
  The little notes in the book, so helpful, like random comments that fennel can be aggravating for autoimmune issues. Never knew that. I have not read the first part of the book yet, will get there soon.
• i own dr. wentz' other two books. she can be quite an information overload when you're first feeling out knowledge on hashimoto's but she is one of the best sources as well. the first part of the book is a condensed version of what you might find in her other two books while also diving more deeply into how your diet affects your autoimmune disease. the dialogue is approachable, and the author both personal and likeable.
  
  as far as the recipes go, i've made five at this point hot lemon water, spa water (do these count, lol!) truffled veggies, beef stew, and bibimbap bowls. all three FOOD recipes have been very successful for me, though i have to sub quite a few things due to my gut/food sensitivities. beef stew was bison stew; the meat in my bibimbap was bison meatballs as well, as i react to beef (and chicken, and fish!). i can't have garlic or onions so i leave those out as well as the avocado in the bibimbap. despite all that, everything has been a success and i just have to remind myself that i'm eating to heal right now. i hope some day soon i'll be able to reintroduce everything so i can have these recipes as they should be enjoyed. please don't hesitate to give this cookbook a try. everything is simple, straightforward, delicious, and doesn't require a ton of prep or cleanup. thank you, dr. wentz!
• Loved.Loved ,Loved this book! So wonderful . Vibrant pictures and easy to follow recipes.The first half was also extremely helpful as it explains how to avoid the common mistakes we might make especially going Gluten free (like i was ).This book (like all of the others Dr. Wentz has written )is an absolute MUST have for anyone with Hashimoto's or does not know where to begin as far as eating healthy for your Thyroid health ,as her insights and knowledge not only as a Doctor but also as a patient is a sigh of relief in this diet crazed world .Thanks again Dr.Izabella Wentz your insight has empowered me with knowledge I can use everyday!!!
• Very disappointed. She has written a book that isn't just for AIP, it include two other diets as well and all the recipes are mixed together. She does a two week diet plan for each, but no grocery list, so you are flipping back and forth trying to figure out what to buy to cook these recipes. The recipes are also not compiled per diet, but mixed together so again, more flipping back and forth. Completely frustrating! I can't answer for the taste of the recipes as I closed the book and put it aside.

Selected Poems of Christopher Logue Faber Poetry Christopher Logue 9780571347698 Books Reviews

• this book more than lived up to my expectations. it is humorous, witty, caustic, scholarly, deep, shallow and otherwise a magical trip. and best of all .... it is mine.
• This book, published in 1996, features a selection of Christopher Logue's poetry spanning from his early work in the 1950s up to the 1990s. It includes such legendary poems as his "I Shall Vote Labour" as well as the "poem poster" material he fashioned. But what's most important is that this book culminates in an exclusive installment of Logue's decades-in-the-making War Music.
  
  I've read countless books and Logue's War Music is my favorite of them all. An "account" of Homer's Iliad, it's basically a rewriting of the epic in contemporary poetry, and to tell the truth I prefer it to the original (though admittedly I can't read Attic Greek). Currently War Music lives in 3 volumes the self-titled release, All Day Permanent Red, and Cold Calls. I've read that Logue is now working on the final installment; he's been working on it since Cold Calls was published in 2005. But sadly none of the above books includes the War Music installment featured here in Selected Poems; to read it, you'll need to buy this book.
  
  An eight-page rewrite of Iliad Book 21, this is an epic in miniature, with Achilles battling the river-god Scamander. First off we see that this installment takes place later chronologically than anything in War Music Logue has yet published; the self-titled volume was heretofore the latest in the Iliad sequence, and it ended with Achilles taking up his divine armor, preparing to slaughter the Trojans. Here we meet him after he's well into a murderous frenzy; he's killed so many that Scamander complains of the corpses mucking up his waters.
  
  All as in Homer, but Logue rewrites as he sees fit. Indeed, he relates most of the story with a prefacing "Prelude," then moves straight into Achilles boasting over his many dead. But this is a quick-moving tale, with Scamander nearly drowning Achilles, Athena and Poseidon offering the Greek moral support, and Hera sending her son Hephaestus to burn Scamander until he relents. And it's a tale filled with those Logue touches which make War Music such a marvel Achilles graphically denigrating the recently-killed Asteropeus's inception, Hera lovingly calling Hephaestus "Little Cripple" as she instructs him to burn Scamander until she says to stop, the surrendering Scamander screaming of the Trojans "Let `em burn."
  
  One happy day the final installment of War Music will be published, and on an even happier day the entire completed epic will be collected into one volume. When that day comes I hope Logue's publishers remember to include this forgotten installment.

"Such a great book. If you read her blog and are wondering if this book is worth it, take it from me it totally is. My partner is very frugal, the type of person who always tells me to get books from the library, but we were both very pleased with how helpful this book is. He congratulated me on what a goodbye it was. The reason you should buy your own is because there are lots of places for you to jot down thoughts and ideas and little worksheets that are very helpful."

• To be completely honest with you, I had my doubts about this new book when it was out for pre-order. I thought, “What could possibly be covered now?” Between the 2011 guidebook, the website’s oft-updated front page and growing archives, and downloadable spreadsheets available online, I wondered if it was going to be a redundant piece of fluff. I bought my copy to see if it was worth suggesting to my couples (I'm a wedding photographer), or warn them not to waste their money. So for me to read it, cover to cover, and have my skepticism blown away actually speaks really highly of this book. It’s useful! It’s smart! It’s handy!
  
  See, the first book, A Practical Wedding Creative Ideas for Planning a Beautiful, Affordable, and Meaningful Celebration, gets you into the *headspace* of planning a wedding. For many of us, our wedding is the first wedding that we’ve ever had to plan. Figuring out how to approach wedding planning, then feeling right about our decisions, is what the original APW book is all about.
  
  This companion book, A Practical Wedding Planner (“APWP”), coaxes you into actually taking action. Meg starts by asking you to think of your wedding’s “thesis” — not colors or theme, but the takeaway that you want your guests to feel after the wedding is over. (Best dance party? Amazing spiritual experience? Warm, casual vibe?) Then build your wedding around that thesis.
  
  While the planner, at around 9×7″ (notably bigger than the novel-sized 2011 guidebook), isn’t quite large enough to feel like it’s an essential replacement of a wedding-planning binder, it feels more like a notebook and has wide margins so you can scribble all in it (there are some dedicated spots for you to fill in your plans, but for the most part, the book tracks out to-do’s). It’s divided into sections that you can jump to depending on where you are in your planning process budgets, venues, catering, etc.
  
  The best part about this book is that it can be scaled up or down depending on the type of wedding you’re going to have Meg doesn’t assume that you’ll be having a giant wedding, a tiny one, or that you’ll hire all of the vendors that most wedding-planning books recommend you to hire. She outlines DIY projects, describes the risks and rewards of DIY, and suggests how to get the most out of DIY planning. It’s a little bit like a choose-your-own-adventure book. Want to do your own makeup? Here’s the path to take. Interested in arranging your own flowers? Here is what you need to look out for.
  
  Where APW used voices from married couples, describing how they created an authentic wedding instead of going with the traditional or expected, APWP interviews wedding professionals. These seasoned vendors explain how to get the best deals from different vendors (hint it’s not always about negotiating, but by understanding what is typically included in the industry norm and what are additional fees), as well as the best questions to ask the vendors you’re vetting to work your wedding.
  
  Some of the best stuff is in the nitty gritty there’s a chart of flowers, when they’re in season, their price ranges, and good substitutes. There’s an alcohol calculator. There are sample timelines, sample ceremonies of many religions and cultures, and even guidelines on how to address your invites in a “gently feminist” way.
  
  In short, should you get this book if you’re planning a wedding?
  
  Resounding YES.
• I bought Meg's first book, "A Practical Wedding" when I got engaged and it was great. After suffering through The Knot Wedding Planner and finding it supremely unhelpful, this came out and has been SO great. It's comprehensive, easy to use and not just a book of lists and unhelpful blank spaces to write things. She fills the planner with good advice, interesting detail and shortcuts to make wedding planning easy and fun. You won't regret buying this!
• This book walked me through planning my DIY, creative wedding without (much) freaking out. I was never married before, in my 40s, and not the sort of person who had been dreaming of her wedding since childhood. I also wanted a mixture of nontraditional and traditional elements, and badly wanted to avoid spending a ton of money. A Practical Wedding Planning gives sensible options for all kinds of avenues; it would work if you wanted a big white wedding, or if you just wanted a small party in your backyard. Our wedding was perfect for us, inexpensive, and so well-organized and delegated per Meg's advice that I was able to just show up and enjoy every minute!
• Seriously this is the best wedding planner ever! Everything you can think of is in here and organized! I bought this for myself to help my sister with her wedding planning. We’re both having destination weddings and this book his so handy for any type of wedding you’re thinking of having and it’s a realistic planner. I definitely recommend reading the entire book before focusing on certain aspects. (That’s what I did at first) Once again if you’re planning a wedding no matter if it’s a courthouse wedding/elopement-destination or huge 300 person big bash, BUY this book!!
• Such a great book. If you read her blog and are wondering if this book is worth it, take it from me it totally is. My partner is very frugal, the type of person who always tells me to get books from the library, but we were both very pleased with how helpful this book is. He congratulated me on what a goodbye it was. The reason you should buy your own is because there are lots of places for you to jot down thoughts and ideas and little worksheets that are very helpful.
• I wish that I had read this earlier on, because it would have saved me SO SO SO SO SO much trouble. Unfortunately I bought this after I was well into the planning process. If you just got engaged, I highly recommend this. If you're 3 months out from your wedding (like myself) it's probably not as useful. I can't tell you the amount of passages I read where I thought "OMG, where was this information 6 months ago?!?!?".
• In a world where weddings have gotten insane, this book is SOOO sensible. Throwing a $40,000 wedding? This will work for you. Throwing a $5,000 wedding? Here's how to adapt. Made me feel much more calm about my mid-sized wedding budget and helped me navigate the world of wedding planning. (Many of the things in it are also on the webpage, so you COULD get by without the book.)
• Made my life a million times easier. Wish there was a bit more info on invitations, but their site and the internet has a ton of information on it. 100% recommend it. I've had a pretty stress-free time planning. Have pretty much everything booked over a year before wedding thanks to the book. Love it. My fiance found it very useful too. I love that it takes a feminist perspective.
