Dove Exiled by Karen Bao: Tour and Playlist!

Wes Carlyle Character Playlist (https://open.spotify.com/user/karenbaoauthor/playlist/4BLbrk5X9O2G9xXcZ0iT0j)

“I See Fire (Kygo Remix)” – Ed Sheeran
Picture 9-year-old Wes watching the Lunar Militia pillage his beautiful island city. Their cruelty sets the tone for the next decade of his life: while he trains to be a spy on the Moon, and while he’s living on Base IV, he can’t forget that one tragic night.

“My Body” – Young the Giant
This is one of my favorite workout songs, and it’s about pushing on despite great physical pain. (Of course Wes knows the feeling better than I do.)

“Is There Somebody Who Can Watch You” – The 1975
I can easily imagine Wes singing this to his older sister, who was literally scarred by the Lunar attack. He wishes he could take care of her, but he’s away all the time.

“All Of The Lights” – Kanye West (explicit)
This song is so gritty and real. Love it.

“Spinning” – Jack’s Mannequin
What it sounds like when the world is speeding along and you’re scrambling to keep up with it.

“Nocturnal” – Disclosure & The Weeknd
This song captures the epic loneliness that Wes feels when he gets to the Moon – no one knows him or his story, and he can’t let a single person find out the truth. (I love the mention of a caracal, which is something only Wes would know about because he’s from Earth.)

“Unintended” – Muse
When Wes meets Phaet during Militia training, he’s drawn to her determination and introspective nature. But he has to hide it because all Lunars are the enemy…right?

“Immortals” – Fall Out Boy
Wes grudgingly becomes allies with the nicer Militia trainees to achieve a higher rank – and ends up becoming close friends with them. He starts believing that the Lunars are not the “demons” he grew up believing they were.

“From Eden” – Hozier
Love this song’s references to faith and to forbidden love. It’s definitely something Wes would listen to.

“Stay With Me” – Kevin Olusola (cover of Sam Smith’s original song)
First, Kevin can play cello and beatbox at the same time. Second, Wes has a lot of people he doesn’t want to say goodbye to, and the song captures that feeling perfectly.

“Clean” – Big Data feat. Jamie Lidell
How to start over again…and perhaps put your moral demons to rest?

“Starman” – David Bowie
Ah, Bowie. Besides the astronomical theme, I think Wes would appreciate this song because it makes you believe in something bigger than yourself and the mundane world.

Double Black by Ali Dean: Cover Reveal!

Double Black (Stark Springs #2) by Ali Dean

Cover Reveal

March 2, 2016

* This is the second book in the Stark Springs Academy series, which should be read in order. You should read Black Diamond before reading the description below. *

If you don’t like the rules, make new ones.

If you want to the best, show no fear.

And if Ryker Black is your boyfriend, you better be ready to fight. On and off the slopes.

Overnight, Roxie Slade went from an outsider at Stark Springs Academy, to a ruler at the prestigious boarding school for elite winter athletes. But Roxie didn’t know if she wanted that power, and she definitely wasn’t sure about sharing it with Ryker Black, who came from a different world and lived by a different set of morals. Ryker may have decided to trust her, but could she trust him?

Roxie only cared about her rising position in the ski rankings, but now her status at Stark, and within the winter sports community, is skyrocketing, whether she asked for it or not. Can she handle both while attempting a real relationship with Ryker Black?  Roxie once believed that her sole purpose was proving herself on the slopes, but she’s done that once, and she’s far from satisfied. She has so much more to prove.

The Smell of Other People's Houses by Bonnie-Sue Hitchcock

In Alaska, 1970, being a teenager here isn’t like being a teenager anywhere else. Ruth has a secret that she can’t hide forever. Dora wonders if she can ever truly escape where she comes from, even when good luck strikes. Alyce is trying to reconcile her desire to dance, with the life she’s always known on her family’s fishing boat. Hank and his brothers decide it’s safer to run away than to stay home—until one of them ends up in terrible danger.

Four very different lives are about to become entangled. 

Goodreads Summary

I love intricate plots that slowly unfold and this book delivered.  This book will enable the reader to get to know each character and their stories.  The setting was unusual-Alaska-and a fun and refreshing chance of pace.  Although the book was short, the reader will come away feeling as if he/she learned something important and can apply that knowledge to their own life.  The themes range from pregnancy, runaways, violence, etc...  Even with the book being a short read, the author manages to explain, allow the problem to sink in, and reconcile the differing issues the characters experience.  

I liked each character for their different strengths and weaknesses.  They seemed very real to me.  They were not the idealized version of themselves, but were portrayed as flawed and malleable.  The ending surprised the heck out of me.  I didn't see every aspect of it coming.  Reading from multiple viewpoints can be challenging, but in this book it was rewarding and the characters were easy to separate out from each other.  This book would be a great addition for a teen/young adult growing library.
