![]() On the surface, it’s easy to assume that perhaps Babenzian feels conflicted for having created a monstrosity of reckless consumerism out of the brand Supreme. Already a radical idea for any brand whose very existence depends on purchases, it is even more of a departure from the streetwear industry that Babenzian used to inhabit, with its long lines for limited-edition releases, worldwide eBay resales, and many, many imitators in its path. ![]() ![]() More than just surf and skate wear for grown-ups, Noah’s mission is to get people to buy less, knowing very well that nobody is ever going to stop buying stuff completely. The Nolita flagship officially opened its doors in 2015. He’s 47 years old now, with a wife who plays a big role in the company and a daughter who was only a month old when the first Noah pop-up launched. He speaks with a thoughtful selfawareness uncommon in people, especially people who’ve spent decades as the creative director behind the cult streetwear brand Supreme. It’s weird because I guess we’re sort of a global brand at this point, but it’s really a family business,” says Brendon Babenzian about his menswear brand Noah, based in downtown New York. ![]()

Taking down aliens isn’t easy, and will require all the effort of both the amphibian and mech. This resource is generated every time you liberate a world but lost if you fail, so don’t expect saving the day to be simple. To get to the planets required to end this invasion once and for all, you’ll need to generate HEAT by taking back closer planets one at a time. Thankfully there’s a bunch of animal heroes looking to take the universe back from this purple menace, including our froggy protagonist and its robot buddy. The world of Shoulders of Giants is in peril, as an alien menace keeps taking over planets. Shoulders of Giants goes one better than that, allowing you to control a robot and the frog riding on top it. ![]() There just aren’t enough stompy clompy robots in games, so anytime something new comes along with a big mechanical monster I can control you can guarantee I want to give it a try. Whether you like Gundam, Titanfall, or Pacific Rim, we can all agree that a big ole mech suit is pretty much as cool as it gets. There are some things you grow out of when you get older, but thinking that massive robots are cool isn’t one of them. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The story follows our main protagonist, Pasha, an extremely honorable young man who is conflicted about his secret love for his neighbor.

And there is no more accomplished and accessible guide than renowned neuroscientist David Eagleman to help us understand the nature and changing texture of that fabric. The magic of the brain is not found in the parts it's made of but in the way those parts unceasingly reweave themselves in an electric living fabric. From the best-selling author of Incognito and Sum comes a revelatory portrait of the human brain based on the most recent scientific discoveries about how it unceasingly adapts, re-creates, and formulates new ways of understanding the world we live in. ![]() ![]() ![]() Agent: Jim McCarthy, Dystel & Goderich Literary Management. A fantasy twist toward the end of this series opener from Reilly (a pseudonym for writer Cyn Balog) fits perfectly with the fairy tales Coe retells throughout the novel. Suspense mounts as Coe and Tiam explore the labyrinth beneath the royal palace and the mysteries of their island’s past. When Coe and her unattainable beloved, Tiam, “who laughs in the face of scribblers and ghosts and taunts the vicious ocean,” rise in the favor of the royals, they become targets for those discontented with the selfish king’s rule. Coe’s narration sometimes bogs down in angst, but tight plotting keeps the story moving forward. The first book in her series, DROWNED, will be releasing from Harlequin TEEN sometime in 2014, followed by a sequel, BURIED. The physically disabled, like nearly 16-year-old Coe, who was left with just one hand after a scribbler attack, face a bleak future, consigned to the dangerous outer edges of the platform that offers protection from high tides and makes social ranking a matter of life and death. ![]() 'Het begraven land' is het vervolg op 'Het verdronken land' en het tweede deel in de Getijden-serie.

Georgie, after having solved over a dozen murders and protected various members of the royal family many times, still is unsure of herself. The $1.99 I paid was worth it, but I wouldn’t have paid much more because the series has stalled. ![]() I am reading this one more than a year after it was released because I didn’t want to pay full price for a book I will not reread and do not care about that much. ![]() But I can’t imagine rereading the whole series or reading more than two or three in a year because they don’t hold my interest well. The books are not long, and they read quickly. A bit of fluff is enjoyable now and then. I have continued to read the Royal Spyness series (which I originally started about the same time I started reading the Inspector Gamache series) because it is light cotton candy. ![]() But the other part is that the Inspector Gamache books have a depth to them that allows for rereading and the quality across the series is high enough that I want to reread them all. I enjoyed reading the series back to back instead of once a year because I saw subtle connections between the books I missed when I read them a year apart. This past fall, I reread the Inspector Gamache book to prepare for the 18th book in the series.
