Bay Area Book Events #42

Due to the enormous size of this list, I only show events about four weeks in advance.  The master calendar will continue to show all the events I can find that are listed on each bookstore's site.

Bookstores in this list may include:  
Barnes & Noble (various Bay Area Locations)
Book Passage (Corte Madera & San Francisco)
The Booksmith (San Francisco)
Books Inc. (various Bay Area Locations)
Pegasus Books (Berkeley & Oakland)
Hicklebee's Children's Books (San Jose)
A Great Good Place For Books (Oakland)
Kepler's Books (Menlo Park) 
Diesel, A Bookstore (Oakland)  Orinda Books (Orinda) 
I am attempting to make this a one stop place to find book signings in the San Francisco Bay Area! I will mostly focus on YA books, but I will also include some general fiction if I think it will be of interest.  I do not list non-fiction books (There are simply too many events of those to list).  I think this is an extensive list, but there is always the possibility that I missed an event (Hey, I'm human). If you think there is an event that I should include, please leave me a note in the comments section. Thanks.

All  book graphics have links to GoodReads so you can check them out.

As always, it is a good idea to call the store a day or two before to confirm that the scheduled event is still on.  I have learned that these events change constantly.

Stacking The Shelves #76 & Sunday Post #39





I am combining two great blog hops:  Stacking The Shelves (a Saturday feature by Team Tynga's Reviews), and Sunday Post (a Sunday feature by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer).  Both of these features give people a chance to post about what books they received and also an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what others are excited about.  I really enjoy see everyone's version of these features! If you enjoy my blog, please consider following me via Bloglovin, Networked Blogs, GFC, or by email subscription.  If you leave a comment and tell me you are a new follower, I will follow you back! As always, all book cover images are linked to GoodReads so if you see a book you want to learn more about, just click away...

Book Review: Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9565548-grave-mercy?ac=1&from_search=true

Synopsis (From Goodreads):
Seventeen-year-old Ismae escapes from the brutality of an arranged marriage into the sanctuary of the convent of St. Mortain, where the sisters still serve the gods of old. Here she learns that the god of Death Himself has blessed her with dangerous gifts—and a violent destiny. If she chooses to stay at the convent, she will be trained as an assassin and serve as a handmaiden to Death. To claim her new life, she must destroy the lives of others.

Ismae’s most important assignment takes her straight into the high court of Brittany—where she finds herself woefully under prepared—not only for the deadly games of intrigue and treason, but for the impossible choices she must make. For how can she deliver Death’s vengeance upon a target who, against her will, has stolen her heart?

Review:
I admit that I first wanted to read Grave Mercy, by Robin LaFevers based on the stunning cover art.  A medieval girl in a long, red dress holds a crossbow and seems like she has just run from a confrontation.  Of course I am intrigued.  I found this book to be so entertaining, filled with secret societies, complicated alliances and betrayals, and even romance.  I loved it!

What I Liked:
Secret Society:
Ismae is marked from birth as a daughter of St. Mortain (the god of death).  Escaping from the brutality of her father and an arranged marriage, she enters a convent who serves St. Mortain.  Ismae gladly throws herself into training as an assassin.

The convent is not only a school, they keep tabs on the political situation in their country (Brittany), and somehow decide when to release an assassin on traitors.

One of the main questions in the story is how the Abbess decides who needs to be killed.  Does she know from the Abby's Seer, from gathering intelligence, or from the convents own quest for power?  Should Ismae blindly follow her orders?  Or does she have any free will?

Complicated Court Intrigue:
I love a good historical royal story.  This book is based partly on facts from medieval history.  There are alliances and double-crossing that occurs at a dizzying rate.  This all centers on the small country of Brittany.  The ruler (a duke), dies, leaving his twelve-year old daughter as his heir.  She needs to marry, but has been promised to several different people all at once!  Who should she marry?  What alliance will help Brittany in it's struggle to remain independent of France?  The author does a wonderful job of helping the reader untangle the web of schemes and double-dealing that swirls around the story.

Romance:
In order to gain access to the royal court, Ismae must pose as the mistress of Duval, one of the late Duke's bastard sons.  He knows Ismae is an assassin, and neither trust each other.  I liked how Ismae developed her feelings for Duval over a long time.  It wasn't instantaneous for either of them.  They both win each other's trust and respect.  I liked that their attraction went further than skin deep.
What I Didn't Like:
There was only one part in the book that I hated, but as it is my policy to not give away spoilers, I will not say exactly what it is.  A person was in danger and the resolution was incredibly stupid.  Here's a hint:

            
It is actually a small quibble, but when this happened in the book, I hooted with laughter at how ridiculous this was!  

Important Update:  I just had the most wonderful interaction with the author, Robin LaFevers, on Twitter!  She took the time to explain that she didn't intend the scene to be that sexual.  I appreciate that she took a chance and reached out to me (in a very respectful manner, BTW).  I also wonder about myself that I jumped to that conclusion...  Oops!
                    
via GIPHY



Aside from this, I adored Grave Mercy.  It had so much excitement, intrigue, and swoon-worthy romance.  There are further books in this series, and I love that each one seems to focus on a different female assassin.  I can't wait to read them.

ARC Review: My Last Lament by James William Brown

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31146821-my-last-lament?from_search=true
Please Note:  I received an advanced reader's copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  This did not influence the opinions of my review in any way.

 Synopsis (From GoodReads):
Aliki is one of the last of her kind, a lamenter who mourns and celebrates the passing of life. She is part of an evolving Greece, one moving steadily away from its rural traditions. To capture the fading folk art of lamenting, an American researcher asks Aliki to record her laments, but in response, Aliki sings her own story...

It begins in a village in northeast Greece, where Aliki witnesses the occupying Nazi soldiers execute her father for stealing squash. Taken in by her friend Takis's mother, Aliki is joined by a Jewish refugee and her son, Stelios. When the village is torched and its people massacred, Aliki, Takis and Stelios are able to escape just as the war is ending.

Fleeing across the chaotic landscape of a post-war Greece, the three become a makeshift family. They are bound by friendship and grief, but torn apart by betrayal, madness and heartbreak.

Through Aliki's powerful voice, an unforgettable one that blends light and dark with wry humor, My Last Lament delivers a fitting eulogy to a way of life and provides a vivid portrait of a timeless Greek woman, whose story of love and loss is an eternal one.

Review:
There is a trend in novels lately with many books chronicling the struggles of ordinary people during WWII and its aftermath.  The Nightingale, by Kristen Hannah, and All The Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr, both deal with civilians in France and Germany.  My Last Lament, by James William Brown, focuses on the impact the war had on Greece.  

I'm embarrassed to say that I know very little of 20th century Greek history, but I now feel I have an inkling of some of their challenges by reading this book.  Beyond the historical aspects, this is also a book exploring why people become evil.  Is a person inherently bad, or are they bad because of the way they are treated?  I found this book to be absorbing and haunting in its storytelling.

What I Liked: 
Setting:
Books that feature small town life are some of my favorites.  I love seeing all the various characters who seem to enter and exit in the background, but who later become significant parts of the story.  This kept me on my toes!

Everyone has secrets, but in a small village, most of these emerge over time.

The times are full of the bitter struggles of survival during the Nazi occupation.  Everyone is hungry and some are even spying on their neighbors. 

The book shifts over time from a small village in Greece, to the capitol city of Athens, and then on to several other islands.  The author's descriptions made each place come alive to me as a reader, and makes me want to visit this country.
         

Characters:
Aliki is the main character, and her story is told when she is an old woman, in a series of flashbacks to the time of WWII and its aftermath.  She has a gift to lament when a person dies.  This means that she goes into a trance and gives voice to the dead.

Orphaned at the beginning of the story, Aliki is taken in by a neighbor, Chrysoula and her young son, Takis.  She goes through many trials but is a survivor, always trying to see the good in everyone.

 Takis is the younger boy who becomes obsessed with Aliki.  Over the years, he is accused of several terrible acts.  People treat him with suspicion and later seems to become what people think of him.  It's hard to say whether or not he deserves the ridicule he receives.  He does do some of the evil things in the book.  But did the village essentially create a monster? 

There are also several women who befriend Aliki over the course of the book.  I love strong friendships in books and this showcases how women can bond together in difficult circumstances (men can too, BTW).

Overall, this is a book that will widen your understanding of Greece (perhaps even of the economic problems the country is experiencing right now).  There are wonderfully strong female characters and friendships, and excellent historical details.  This is a satisfying book.
