![]() The scenes in the camp are particularly interesting with Ayla learning of the value of craftsmanship and liesure – something she never had time before alone in her valley. Auel has once again done her homework and show it off by portraying a vivid tale of the times. The sex scenes seem to be getting to be far more explicit as the series goes on which will no doubt appeal to some but tends to get rather repetitive. This part of the story drags on to the final few pages but the outcome is never seriously in doubt. The novel focuses on her estrangement from the love of her life - Jondalar - as she is made a member of the tribe and is betrothed to Ranec, master carver. The camp begins to accept the strange woman who shares with them her unusual background and her seemingly mystical powers. This novel begins where “The Valley of the Horses” left off with Ayla and Jondalar being accepted into a camp of the Mamutoi – The Mammoth Hunters – The Lion Camp. ![]() ![]() Auel 3rd book in the 'Earth's Children' series ![]()

The text is poetic and celebrates the natural landscape of the countryside. Children will love searching the illustrations for hidden pictures formed by the leaves as they make their journey. ![]() The leaves start out in the shape of a man and take on different configurations as they travel east, west, north, and south, going where the wind blows. Lois Ehlert’s book Leaf Man follows a group of autumn leaves as they are blown by the wind over fields, past orchards, through prairie meadows, and across lakes and rivers.

This is the first book in a near-future science fiction series with elements of romance. Or they could do the impossible: team up. They could burn down the world, destroying each other in the process… They’re on a deadly collision course, and the passion that flares between them only makes it more dangerous. His squad of supersoldiers went AWOL to avoid slaughtering innocents, and now he’s fighting to survive. Knox is the bitter, battle-weary captain of the Silver Devils. Nina is an information broker with a mission-she and her team of mercenary librarians use their knowledge to save the hopeless in a crumbling America. Kit Rocha’s (the writing pair of Donna Herren and Bree Bridges) Mercenary Librarians series, which launches with Deal with the Devil definitely has that interesting premise – librarians are basically heroes and need to get lost files from the Library of Congress. So when an interesting hook is thrown into the mix, well…the story can be that much more fun. Post-apocalyptic novels can be fun, but the subset of speculative fiction is a fairly popular setting. ![]() ![]() ![]() Three years have passed since he disappeared, but now he’s back with a vengeance, and Katherine’s not going down without a fight.

![]() ![]() Today, a plaque is affixed to the Courthouse at the Fifth Avenue/Grant Street intersection detailing the naming of Grant’s Hill. It’s possible to take a self-guided walking tour of the extent of Grant’s Hill, thanks to the PA Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. British Major James Grant (whom Grant Street is named after) was defeated by the French and Indians trying to defend that hill in 1758 during the French and Indian War. The Hump, as it was colloquially known, was known more formally as Grant’s Hill. ![]() It’s hard to believe now, but just over 100 years ago there was a huge earthen mound in the center of downtown Pittsburgh. Next time you’re down on Grant Street by the Courthouse and City-County Building, imagine yourself or your car about fifteen feet higher. What may have worked at one time does not mean it will continue to work in the future. That’s what a city is meant to do, though - evolve and adapt. Occasionally you can pick out a building that is still in its same condition or a sign that may still exist, but for the most part the city is different. The black-and-white photos seem of a foreign city. It’s odd to look through history books about Pittsburgh. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both.
