But when young Mercy’s disapproving father threatens Henry’s life, Henry runs as far as he can—to the other side of the world.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>The time is 1950, and the Korean War hangs in the balance. Descended from a long line of soldiers, Henry enlists in the marines and arrives in Korea on the eve of the brutal seventeen-day battle of the Chosin Reservoir—the turning point of the war—completely unprepared for the forbidding Korean landscape and the unimaginable circumstances of a war well beyond the scope of anything his ancestors ever faced. But the challenges he meets upon his return home, scarred and haunted, are greater by far.<br />
<br />
Robert Olmstead’s riveting new novel is not only a passionate story of love and war, it is a timeless story of soldiers coming home to a country with little regard for, and even less knowledge of, what they’ve confronted. Through his hero, Olmstead reveals an unspoken truth about combat: that for many men, the experience of war is the most enlivening, electric, and extraordinary experience of their lives. <br />

<br />
Flanagan is the author of the acclaimed Marine Corps novel <em><strong>Maggot</strong></em> and the short story collections <strong><em>Naked to Naked Goes</em></strong> and <strong><em>Loving Power</em></strong>. Born in Toledo, he studied at the University of Chicago and served as Professor of English and Director of the Creative Writing program at Ohio Wesleyan University, retiring in 2010. He lives in Delaware with his wife, Katy, and works out in a basement gym featuring a heavy bag, a peanut bag (“speed bag”) and a boom-box.<br />
<br />
Nan Byrne, a writer and producer, has high praise for <strong><em>Fight Night</em></strong>. “Like a perfect left hook hitting America’s mid-section, Flanagan’s new collection of stories packs a powerful wallop,” she said. “Inside this book you will find spit and towel tales of the bruised and battered, jammed-fingered, broken-down and bloody-nosed, but still-resilient souls who come out swinging in that “cap down and collar up” corner of the universe where glory dreams collide with the hard-knock life. From the salty reminisces of a worn-out prize fighter to the liquid dreams of a youngster steeling for his first schoolyard fight, Flanagan’s brutally-honest prose floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee sent straight to the heart.” <br />
<br />
<strong><em>Fight Night</em></strong> was recently published by XOXOX, located in Gambier, Ohio.Beehive Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06916163317432428444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007714339494976205.post-27859870918224136262012-03-14T16:41:00.000-07:002012-03-14T16:41:54.281-07:00Thursday 3/22 @ 7pm Book Talk & Signing Wisdom Literature and the Dead Sea ScrollsPlease join us for a book talk and discussion with biblical scholar and MTSO Faculty member John Kampen.<br />

Kampen relates the body of wisdom literature discovered at Qumranto the larger wisdom tradition, to apocalyptic literature, to the Hebrew Scriptures, and to the New Testament, and he shows how these texts fit into and enhance our understanding of the complex social and intellectual history of Second Temple Judaism.</div><br />
John Kampen is the Dunn Professor of Biblical Interpretation at the Methodist Theological School in Ohio. A recognized scholar of the Dead Sea Scrolls and the New Testament, he is the author of The Hasideans and the Origins of Pharisaism: A Study of 1 and 2 Maccabees and coeditor of a number of research volumes, the best known of which is (with Moshe Bernstein) Reading 4QMMT: New Perspectives on Qumran Law and History. He also is the author of numerous research articles and has served as co-chair of the Qumran Studies section of the Society of Biblical Literature. <br />

Or maybe, more real for most of us - are you out? If that's the primary way we think about faith and/or religion, then we are required to define and defend boundaries in order to determine who's on the inside and who's on the outside. That kind of discourse is incredibly hostile and divisive - and ultimately not very helpful to anyone. BUT, what if there was a different way to consider faith. What if the boundaries weren't the primary way by which we should consider a life of faith? What if there was a more authentic way to talk about our spiritual journeys as individuals and communities? What if that way even provided a framework for humble discussion? Come and find out....</div><div style="font: 16.0px Arial; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;"><br />

</div><br />
So you’ve finished the Hunger Games series, and after that thrilling, heart-rending ride, what do you read now?<br />
<br />
There are plenty of dystopian young adult novels out there, but it’s taken me a long time to find one that captured my interest. And here it is: “Legend” by Marie Lu, a fast-paced blend of action and science fiction, with characters you care about: 15-year-old Day, an outlaw fighting the government, and 15-year-old June, a brilliant soldier hired to hunt down Day. It’s the first in a planned trilogy, and even if the writing is not as stellar as The Hunger Games, it’s still an exciting read.<br />
<br />
The futuristic story is set in Los Angeles in the Republic of America, ruled by a dictator who wages war against the eastern Colonies. The poor live in plague-stricken slums, and the rich live sheltered and apart, in a society where the highest calling is to serve the military. At age 10, every child is tested in the Trials, and those who score well go off to military school while those who fail are dispatched to labor camps or worse.<br />
June is the only person to have made a perfect score on her Trials, so she is trained in an elite military school and given every advantage. Day, meanwhile, failed his Trial and ran away, living in the shadows so he can watch over his family and launch attacks against the repressive Republic.<br />
<br />
Their two fates collide after June’s brother is killed in an attack led by Day, and June is sent to track Day and bring him to justice. The story, told in alternating chapters by June and Day, has plenty of pulsing action to keep you turning the pages, but there’s also a sweetness and complexity to both characters that saves them from being superhero caricatures. Eventually romance blossoms between June and Day, but their different causes ensure that they’ll be ripped apart – even as they learn devastating secrets about their families and the Republic that make them question everything they are working for. <br />
<br />
I wanted to love this book like I adored the Hunger Games, but it just doesn’t have the superb writing and emotional depth of that book. In fairness, Lu is a first-time author who is 27 years old, and Suzanne Collins, author of the Hunger Games, is a long-time writer with many books to her credit. Still, I’ll be waiting to read the next installment in the Legend series, and knowing that the movie rights are already sold, I’ll be eager to see the film, too.Beehive Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06916163317432428444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007714339494976205.post-39432180908911025982012-01-24T15:40:00.000-08:002012-01-24T15:56:16.814-08:00From Ethiopia to Palestine - Wed 1/25 @ 7pm -- Farewell Claire!<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span class="apple-style-span">Join us as Claire Everhart, Global Village Collection intern, gives a quick recap of her Run Across Ethiopia (2011), including a few highlights from the documentary made of this endeavor: <em>When We Run</em>, AND discusses her upcoming Run Across Palestine (Feb 2012) and 6 month internship in Jenin.

Laura Pakis, owner of Acme Canine, said, "We've held reading sessions at a number of libraries in Columbus, and it's been a huge hit. Children love spending time with attentive, furry friends who won't judge them if they stumble over a word or don't understand a passage. Reading improves as the child relaxes, and the adults are there to help with pronunciation and comprehension.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Inspired by one of the world's greatest novels, Ohio artist Matt Kish embarked on an epic voyage of his own, and the result is <em>Moby-Dick in Pictures: One Drawing for Every Page of Moby-Dick</em>. <br />
<br />
Join us for a reading, discussion of the project, and signing. Plus, hopefully, Matt can draw some pictures in your book. <br />
<br />
<br />
Kish said he felt as foolhardy as Ishmael, the novel’s narrator, and as obsessed as Captain Ahab in his quest for the great white whale. “I see now that the project was an attempt to fully understand this magnificent novel, to walk through every sun-drenched word, to lift up all the hatches and open all the barrels, to smell, taste, hear, and see every seabird, every shark, every sailor, every harpooner, and every whale.”<br />
<br />
<br />
Kish spent nearly every day for 18 months toiling away in a small closet he converted into an art studio. To share the work with family and friends, he started the blog “One Drawing for Every Page of Moby-Dick,” where he posted his work on a daily basis.<br />
<br />
Kish lives in Dublin, Ohio and works full-time as a librarian for the Dayton Metropolitan Library. For more details, check out his blog at <a href="http://www.everypageofmobydick.blogspot.com/">http://www.everypageofmobydick.blogspot.com/</a>.

What else could possibly be going on?<br />
<br />
It turns out there was a lot going on in Delaware last night. Our event with the poetry group <a href="http://beehivebooksdelaware.blogspot.com/2011/09/house-of-toast-september-27-7pm.html">House of Toast</a> was one of 3 other events that I knew of within a 1/2 mile radius of our store (walking distance). And we had a full house of people listening to an incredible group of poets.<br />
<br />
Among the other events were OWU professor Sean Kay, whose book launch of <em>Celtic Revival</em> we hosted back in June with a discussion led by Fred Andrle, who was a featured poet at our House of Toast event last night. Kay spoke about Africa's Wars and Global Security at OWU's Benes Room for the Sagan National Colloquium, at 7pm. <br />
<br />
I also learned that the talented and dynamic OWU music professor Nancy Gamso was giving a performance at Sanborn Hall at 7pm. She has played at the Beehive many times with groups of her amazing students.<br />
<br />
And at Andrews House across the street Alec Johnson, a Beehive customer and supporter, was giving a presentation about his experience with the Tar Sands Activists in Washington DC, at 7pm. <br />
<br />
I'm sure that all of these events were as well-attended as ours and I wish I could've been at each one. <br />
<br />
I love that on a cool and misty autumn evening on a Tuesday in a seemingly sleepy little town, that there is a hell of a lot of stuff going on.<br />
<br />
If you did miss our poetry event last night, please stop in to check out our selection of books from the poets.<br />
<br />
And mark your calendar for our next event with artist Matt Kish on Thursday October 20 at 7pm. His forthcoming book, <em>Moby-Dick in Pictures, </em>will be published in early October by Tin House. He started documenting his project on his blog <a href="http://everypageofmobydick.blogspot.com/">http://everypageofmobydick.blogspot.com/</a> which we have been following for several years. Check it out!<br />

<br />
In 1962, Mass graduated from college and joined the fledgling Peace Corps. She was assigned to Pakistan to start an educational program in a small Muslim village, where she was the only Westerner and only Peace Corps volunteer. She left after a year, feeling she had not made an impact.<br />
<br />
<br />
50 years later, she returned to find a much-changed Pakistan and a village that still remembered her. In her book, she deftly interweaves journal entries from her Peace Corps experience with her current volunteer work training female teachers for a Pakistani non-governmental organization.<br />
<br />
In a series of interviews with Pakistanis from every social class, Mass gives voice to those who are taking responsibility for their country’s educational problems and addressing challenges within the tradition, culture and religious understanding of their people.<br />
<br />
Mass also is the author of “In Beauty May She Walk,” about her experience hiking the Appalachian Trail at age 60. She earned a Ph.D. at Ohio State University in early and middle education and was director of the Early Childhood Center at Ohio Wesleyan University, from which she retired in 2007. <br />
<br />
Mass is donating her proceeds from the sale of the book to The Citizens Foundation, a Pakistani NGO that supports education for girls in Pakistan.Beehive Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06916163317432428444noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6007714339494976205.post-46258772054972439432011-08-02T08:58:00.000-07:002011-08-02T09:09:46.624-07:00Dogs Days of Summer - 2 Free Kids Events in AugustThursday Aug. 4 @ 4pm<br />

Nancy will host a free writing workshop for children ages 7 and over from 4 p.m.-5:30 p.m. This is a great chance for kids to learn the key elements of writing and play an interactive game to create their own stories. <br />

Lucy Hull is a 26-year-old children’s librarian adrift in a small Missouri town.

We have a bike hanging from our ceiling! We partially sponsor a cycling team with our friends and neighbors at BreakAway on Sandusky. And you'll find tons of awesome books and magazines on cycling as well as Honey Stinger, BonkBreaker and Clif bars and such.<br />
<br />
So it's no surprise that we are promoting getting out on your bike this summer. Here's how:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> On Sunday 6/26 from 10a-2pm Friends of Sustainable Delaware and the cycling community of Delaware invite you to discover Delaware’s bike/walking paths.</div><br />
<strong>We’ll have 4 stations providing maps, water, and cycling volunteers to lead you </strong><br />
<strong>(or you can go it alone). </strong><br />
<strong>Look for a small table with our volunteers at the following locations:</strong><br />
1. Mingo Park on the bike path by the river just south of the pool;<br />
2. Intersection of the Henry St. bike path & the east-west path near OWU’s new pool;<br />
3. Bicentennial Park Gazebo at S. Washington & Park behind the fire station on Liberty<br />
4. Trailhead near the Delaware Christian School Parking Lot at Belle Ave. & S. Sandusky St (just North of the 42 Overpass)<br />
<br />
Pedal or walk at your own leisurely pace or kick up the pace a little. You can cycle/walk for 15 minutes or 4 hours. Just get out and meet us. We hope you disover the joys of pedaling & walking around Delaware this summer!<br />

Curry will read from her new children’s book Katie Belle to the Rescue, a humorous children’s book with a message about safety education.<br />
<br />
<br />
Katie Belle is a loved, smart, and inquisitive little girl. In Katie Belle to the Rescue, she has the unexpected opportunity to roam free and takes advantage of her freedom. Ultimately, Katie Belle will help her mommy in a crisis—but not before she has the run of the house!<br />
<br />
With twenty five years in EMS, Curry will also speak to children about safety, common injuries, and accident prevention at the reading and book signing. Families are encouraged to attend the event to share in Katie Belle’s fun adventures while learning about safety along the way.<br />
<br />
Curry proclaims that much of her nonfiction humor is found right in her own home and backyard. As a mother of three, Connie and her husband, Dave, also have a granddaughter. Connie turns the struggles and adventures of raising her children into laughter through words, drawing on actual events in portraying Katie Belle.<br />
<br />
Curry is the recipient of the James Thurber Annual Humor Contest award, and has written for numerous magazines. She has worked as a columnist and is the author of Give Me Back My Glory, which motivated her to speak at various women’s groups about breast cancer. She is a member of the Write Life Writing Group, the Delaware Writing Group, and Ohio Writer. She is the proud owner of a 1974 Volkswagen, which she assisted in restoring, and Graham, her golden retriever, is always by her side.Beehive Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06916163317432428444noreply@blogger.com0
