![]() ![]() ![]() The book shows the power of reading (and a little extra through the magic of book wandering!). It was great to see all these characters come alive and the author, Anna James, does a brilliant job at portraying how those characters would speak and act if another person was suddenly part of their story. This book shows a girl who has a love of books (which is enough on the first basis to draw me in). Through learning about bookwandering and her Grandparents experiences with it, will Tilly be able to find out what truly happened to her mother all those years ago ? and she is not the only one in her family to do this. This is through the magic of bookwandering that Tilly holds. One day Tilly’s favourite book characters appear in the shop and discovers that she can not only converse with them, but can also travel into their worlds. Tilly’s favourite books, especially, are Alices Adventures in Wonderland and Anne if Green Gables. ![]() She has lived in the bookshop ever since her mother suddenly disappeared with no idea as to where she went or why. This book features 11 year old Tilly, who lives with her Grandparents in their bookshop called Pages & Co. This was so cute !! A delightful novel for book lovers. The books we love when we’re growing up shape us in a special way. ![]()

Khorana belonged to the first cohort and obtained a Ph.D. That same year, the Indian government initiated a program that sent talented students abroad for training. Khorana attended the University of Punjab, where he obtained a Masters in Chemistry in 1945. The younger Khorana’s first four years of schooling took place under a tree until his father helped establish a one-room school in their village. In spite of his family’s poverty, Khorana’s father insisted on educating his children. I am writing a biography of Khorana with the hope that his story will inspire young scientists from every background to pursue their dreams of exploration and discovery. Khorana emerged from this background to receive a Nobel Prize in 1968 for deciphering the genetic code that translates DNA sequences into the protein molecules that carry out the functions of living cells. He was 6 before he owned his first pencil. As a child, he had to beg a neighbor for a glowing ember so his mother could light their daily cooking fire. ![]() ![]() The exact date of his birth is not known, because Khorana was born in poverty in a British Indian class that rarely recorded such dates. 2022 marked the 100th birthday of Nobel Prize winning chemist Har Gobind Khorana – or so we think. ![]() ![]() ![]() And I wished I’d given a different response.

I was asked to be on BBC Channel Four news. ![]() When Popular came out in the UK, I traveled to London for a three-day publicity tour. My own brother read it at night so his classmates wouldn’t see him with it. They hide it under their desks or have their sisters check it out for them at the library. I believe the color scheme is really fun, the description is intriguing, and my name is in a funky font that I wish I could use all the time.Īnd for these stupid, irrelevant reasons, boys get teased for carrying Popular around at school. ![]() I’ll admit, I’m quite proud of the paperback design of my book. ![]() ![]() ![]() You should definitely check out Morgan’s most recent pieces. ![]() In her book The Mystical Now: Art and the Sacred, Wendy Beckett describes that “All art that really draws us to look at it deeply is spiritual, art accepts all the sadness, and transforms it implicitly affirming that beauty is essentially the presence of God.” ![]() She recently released an EP with her sister, Grammy nominated musician Jamie Grace, entitled Show Love: Songs for Our Children.

Pratchett uses other books to riff on the arts – filmmaking ( Moving Pictures) and opera ( Maskerade), for example – but this homage to rock music affectionately skewers its pretensions, while maintaining a sense of the deep, raw, primal magic beneath it.
