It's torture.until Eliza steals something from the boys she knows they'll want to trade her notebook for. That posting has had major consequences and now Cooper and his buddies have stolen her private notebook and won't give it back until she performs all the things on her list in one night. Eliza got her revenge by posting some pretty nasty (and only sort-of true) stuff about Cooper online. But this was more than your average breakup.turns out the sweet and cute Cooper was only dating her as a hazing stunt by a secret society. Now it's two years later, and in that time Eliza has had and lost her first boyfriend. But Eliza kept adding her goals and secret fears to the list in the notebook. New town, new Eliza, right? Well, she'll never know because the transfer fell through and they didn't move. Having always been shy and not so confident about her body, Eliza took that opportunity to start a list in her private notebook of all the things she planned on doing when she moved but had always been afraid to-like wearing a miniskirt and asking guys to dance singing karaoke in front of strangers posting a photo of herself on her Facebook wall in a bikini.you get the idea. Two years ago, when Eliza Sellman was in ninth grade, her dad found out he was being transfered and the family was going to move.

Nicholas does an admirable job with her cobwebby material that constantly threatens to spin in countless directions, organizing it into dense but generally cohesive chapters. It has become, quite simply, the loophole upon which I can relate to things I previously only knew but had never actually felt.Ĭonfiscated Jewish art and property in ParisĬonsidering the sprawling nature of the subject matter-Hitler and Goering's insatiable art collecting addiction, the stunning evacuations of the Louvre and the Hermitage collections, the "legal" seizure of Jewish art collections and property, the marginalization of "degenerate" modern art and artists, the meticulous destruction of the cultural heritages of Poland and other Slavic countries, the Nazi occupation and plunder of Italy, the tireless work of the American Monument Men, etc, etc-Lynn H. You know how people use solar eclipses to glance directly at the sun? Well, I have found that it is through this book that I have started to honestly fathom the horrific nature of the Second World War, in all of its crippling, incomprehensible intensity. I find that I grapple with the knowledge I gained here more often than I could have possibly imagined. And in the year that has since passed, I have attempted to wrap my head around everything meticulously laid out in the 450 pages of tiny black print that make up this book. I finished reading this book almost exactly a year ago. Twenty years later, she has won a million dollars and forgotten to have children.

It is actually my preferred method for this genre. There is something about a spooky thriller on audio. With help from a handsome landscaper and an eccentric neighbor, Mallory sets out to decipher the images and save Teddy-while coming to terms with a tragedy in her own past-before it’s too late. Mallory begins to suspect these are glimpses of an unsolved murder from long ago, perhaps relayed by a supernatural force lingering in the forest behind the Maxwell’s house. But one day, he draws something different: a man in a forest, dragging a woman’s lifeless body.Īs the days pass, Teddy’s artwork becomes more and more sinister, and his stick figures steadily evolve into more detailed, complex, and lifelike sketches well beyond the ability of any five-year-old. His drawings are the usual fare: trees, rabbits, balloons. And she sincerely bonds with Teddy, a sweet, shy boy who is never without his sketchbook and pencil. She lives in the Maxwell’s pool house, goes out for nightly runs, and has the stability she craves. She is to look after their five-year-old son, Teddy. Fresh out of rehab, Mallory Quinn takes a job in the affluent suburb of Spring Brook, New Jersey as a babysitter for Ted and Caroline Maxwell. Or that she’s being heckled daily by the irritatingly hot museum security guard, Porter Roth-a.k.a. Or that she’s landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum.
