Princess Rosemary of Henland can’t afford distractions. She’s working tirelessly to repair her image following …
I walked into a sapphic schoolgirl princess romance — the cover is very accurate — but partway through, a mystery broke out.
The story is that a middle-class American gets into a fancy boarding school on a music scholarship and then falls into the arms of a princess, who as heir to the throne, is very much not out as lesbian. She already had a sullied name because of a party gone very wrong the year before. The last thing she or the royal family needs is another scandal. So of course they get one.
The stakes were high enough to drive the plot, but never so high that I pushed the book aside, as I'm prone to doing. While I admit to being overly fond of sapphic schoolgirl princess romances, I promise you this is very well done.
A celebration of more than 100 major public art commissions throughout the New York transit …
If you're a fan of public art, or mosaics, or New York City, or transit, this could be your book. Contemporary Art Underground is a beautiful, weighty coffee-table book with photos from across the MTA universe, encompassing all boroughs (yes, and Staten Island too) and all of MTA's transit systems. The subway is front and center, but LIRR, Metro-North, and the buses are represented.
William Wegman's dogs lord over the 23 St F/M station; Yayoi Kusama has an impossibly long mosaic work running the length of the new LIRR station at Grand Central; Nick Cave's Soundsuits lines a new, narrow connector that links Times Square station to 42 St-Bryant Park.
Definitely worth a look, the book and the stations both.

typically in a book like this you get to a point where you know how it will end, but are there for the obstacle course.
with this one, i know one thing that should be true at the end, but i actually have no idea how the big picture will look. 'one last stop' is the last book that gave me this feeling.

She's pretty. The kind of pretty that makes you forget you're standing in a room of people who don't know you exist, because for a second you've forgotten any of them exist right back.
