What's New At G-POP.net:
You Bring the Distant Near - Melissa Minners reviews a teen novel about the strong women in an Indian family and their lives after emigrating to America.
Excerpt: "Some time ago, I was offered the opportunity to read a novel about an Indian-American family and their journey spanning three generations. I love reading books that span generations, seeing things through the eyes of different family members from different eras. Somehow, I missed that this was a book for teens, but that didn’t matter – You Bring the Distant Near sounded interesting, so I decided to check it out..."
Star Wars: The Last Jedi Soundtrack - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the latest Star Wars movie.
Excerpt: "... Anyone who is a fan of Star Wars and has listened to the soundtracks as often as I have will note that the Star Wars: The Last Jedi contains major themes from the past seven films. Who could blame John Williams for recycling? After all, the film still contains some of the major characters like Leia, Luke, Rey, Finn, Kylo Ren. Their themes are going to be represented in this film as well..."
The Burial Hour - Melissa Minners reviews the latest novel in the Lincoln Rhyme thriller series by Jeffery Deaver.
Excerpt: "I am seriously behind on my Lincoln Rhyme reading! I had thought that maybe Jeffery Deaver was done with the Lincoln Rhyme/Amelia Sachs series of books, but he surprised me with The Burial Hour. The book came out in April 2017 and I bought it as soon as it hit stores, but I just got around to reading it. Was it worth the wait?..."
Dolores - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of a documentary about the American activist Dolores Huerta.
Excerpt: "...What I love about Mark Kilian musical scores is the fact that he always finds a way to add an ethnic flare to his compositions. Dolores is no exception. His use of guitars, piano and woodwinds offer up that ethic flare I was looking for..."
The Book of Love - Melissa Minners reviews a dramatic film about coping with loss, starring Jason Sudeikis and Maisie Williams.
Excerpt: "Sometimes, when you are scrolling through the movie channels, you discover a film you never heard of before. Such was the case when I was looking for something to watch the other day and found a movie called The Book of Love. I may have passed it by except that I noticed it starred Maisie Williams. I love Maisie as Arya Stark in Game of Thrones and wanted to see what she would be like in another less medieval role..."
LBJ - Melissa Minners reviews the soundtrack of the film about Lyndon B. Johnson starring Woody Harrelson.
Excerpt: "...The LBJ Soundtrack features a couple of main orchestral themes. The presidential theme features snare drum beats, horns and strings. Lyndon B. Johnson’s theme features dramatic strings rising in crescendo. These themes are interspersed throughout the tracks on the album..."
