Thomas garbes
this is a book of short stories. my favorite story was tale of the carpet people.tale of the carpet people is about tiny people that live in the carpet and the gentle draft is a hurricane force wind.The Munrungs are a tribe living in the Carpet, a vast landscape with its own peoples, creatures, villages, cities, fringes, and stories. When the dreaded Fray returns, wreaking havoc on the village, the Munrungs leave their ruined homes and take to the road. Snibril, younger brother of the village chieftain, proves his mettle in the adventures that follow. As explained in the author's note, The Carpet People came out in 1971, when Pratchett was 17. Before his British publisher republished it more than two decades later, he rewrote the book, which is now available for the first time in the U.S. The story is a bit of a hybrid, combining battles and philosophy with the occasional zing of wit (Snibril's stout-hearted but thick-headed brother is described by his fellow Munrungs as a man of few words, and he doesn't know what either of them means). Playful black-and-white line illustrations and full-color inserts (not available at time of review) round out the package. Sure to be sought after by Pratchett's fans, young and old, this adventure will also amuse children who have never heard his name

The Bane Chronicles - Tiana Holloway
The Bane Chronicles
Authors: Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan and Maureen Johnson
Genre: Collection of Short Stories ( in this case short novellas )
It is not easy being Magnus Bane. As a warlock, he is often called upon to fix the problems of others. His life has been long, and his loves have been many. And Magnus has a way of being at the right place at the right - or perhaps wrong - time. The French Revolution, The Prohibition, the first great battle between Valentine and the New York Institute. . . Magnus was there, and usually in the middle of it. Magnus will never be able to tell all of his tales. No one would believe him. But these eleven stories shed a little light on his often inscrutable character. They are stories he probably wishes had never got out.
The Bane Chronicles is filled with Magnus Banes' adventures, sometimes one or both of his warlock friends, Ragnor Fell and Catarina Loss, accompany him. There's What really happened in Peru, which is the back story on why Magnus was banned from Peru which he briefly mentioned in the Mortal Instruments series. The Midnight Heir is where Magnus reunites with old friends, Will Herondale and Tessa Gray as well as one of two of there children, James Herondale. The stories also tells us that Magnus really likes having a pet monkey and cats he loves cats.
I recommend The Bane Chronicles to people that have read both The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices to understand a few but not many things though it is not necessary to. It's filled with with sass, sarcasm and a bromance between Raphael Santiago and Ragnor Fell. I think The Bane Chronicles is definitely the comedic relief between The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices even if there is already enough sass is those series. I give it a 10/ 10.

Out of the Easy - Tiana Holloway
Out of the Easy
Author: Ruta Sepetys
Genre: Historical Fiction
Out of the Easy is set against the vivid backdrop of 1950s new Orleans.
Josie Moraine wants out of The Big Easy - she needs more than what New Orleans cam offer. know locally as a brothel prostitute's daughter, she dreams of life at an elite college, far away from here.
But then a mysterious death in the Quarter leaves Josie caught between her ambition and a clandestine underworld. New Orleans is luring Josie deeper in as she searches for the truth, and temptation beckons at every turn.
This novel is definitely not for people who can't handle mature topics such as brothels, prostitution and vulgar language. The author hooks you in from the beginning with the fact that Josie was only seven years old when her mother went to the brothel. I enjoy Ruta Sepetys' novels because they are beautifully written, descriptive, accurate and overall just great. I give it a 10/10.
