![]() Tom's wife Goldberry is a lesser female analog. Like a Thomistic angel, he is the sole member of his particular species. He is a sort of incarnate nature spirit, as literally amoral as the Elf Queen in "The Ballad of Thomas the Rhymer." The Ring has no power over him for he lacks the will to power. Tom Bombadil, the oldest living individual in Middle Earth, serves as a counterpoint to the stark contrasts of good and evil. The quest could not have succeeded without Sam, and he is rewarded with passage to the Undying Lands. The Ring harms him least, perhaps because he is unused to seeking his own will. SANDRA MIESEL Only love for his master leads him from the Shire, fuels his unfailing loyalty, and transforms him into his master's equal. It is the apotheosis of humble, utterly mundane Sam that strikes the reader most forcefully. But their triumphs are not unexpected, for Frodo and Aragorn are in all ways remarkable persons. Frodo's greatness is demonstrated by the intensity of his challenge, Aragorn's by its duration. ![]() Each principal character is tempted in proportion to his strength and according to his role. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mystery Writers of America Presents Ice Cold Mystery Writers of America Presents The Mystery Box Twilight Zone: 19 Original Stories on the 50th Anniversaryīy Hook or By Crook and 27 More of the Best Crime and Mystery Stories of the Yearīy Hook or By Crook and 30 More of the Best Crime and Mystery Stories of the Year Shelf Discovery: The Teen Classics We Never Stopped Reading Mystery Writers of America Presents Death Do Us Part: New Stories About Love, Lust, and Murder The Adventure of the Missing Detective and 19 of the Year's Finest Crime and Mystery Stories The Caxton Private Lending Library & Book Depository (By:John Connolly) The Last Honest Horse Thief (By:Michael Koryta) The Hemingway Valise (By:Robert Olen Butler) Reconciliation Day (By:Christopher Fowler) The Nature of My Inheritance (By:Bradford Morrow) The Book of Ghosts (By:Reed Farrel Coleman) The Long Sonata of the Dead (By:Andrew Taylor) Box)Īn Acceptable Sacrifice (By:Jeffery Deaver)ĭeath Leaves a Bookmark (By:William Link) Precious Ramotswe (By:Alexander McCall Smith) Ian Rutledge: A Mysterious Profile (By:Charles Todd) Pendergast (By:Douglas Preston)Ĭharlotte and Thomas Pitt (By:Anne Perry) Peter Decker and Rina Lazarus (By:Faye Kellerman)Īloysius X. Elvis Cole and Joe Pike (By:Robert Crais) ![]() ![]() ![]() The political landscape and the general cold desolation of Ixia leads one to feel as if one is reading a dystopian novel. Poison Study, the first book in The Chronicles of Ixia, has a cross-genre appeal that make it difficult to categorize. This is a beautifully written gem that stuns you with its originality and adds a twist on the common tropes of multiple genres. Poison Study is one of my go-to rereads and it never fails to disappoint. What better way to enjoy the season, than to pull out my comfort reads and enjoy them all over again. This time of year calls out for comfort food. And by law, the next prisoner who is scheduled to be executed-me-must be offered the position. Ixia's food taster-chosen to ensure that the Commander's food is not poisoned-has died. And now I wait for the hangman's noose.īut the same law that condemns me may also save me. Here in Ixia, the punishment for murder is death. He deserved to die-but according to the law, so do I. Locked in a coffin-like darkness, there is nothing to distract me from my memories of killing Reyad. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Shadow and Bone trilogy is a must-read for any fantasy lover, and it's easy to see why it has become a beloved classic in the genre.

In that case, I will bid you good day, James said, keeping his tone even. ![]() James came by his temper naturally: he had inherited it directly from his irascible, reckless father.

James Ryburn, Earl of Islay, and heir to the Duchy of Ashbrook, opened his mouth to say something, but a mixture of fury and disbelief choked the words.
