La versión completa tiene una duración total de 1 h 57 min.Encuentra este audiolibro completo en https://bit.ly/soypilgrim_audiolibroNarrado por: Cristian VillamilEn una plaza pública de Arabia Saudí, un hombre es ajusticiado bajo un sol abrasador y un chico de catorce años observa impotente entre la muchedumbre: es su hijo. En un lúgubre hotel de Manhattan, aparece el cuerpo sin vida de una mujer joven y todos los indicios para identificarla han sido eliminados minuciosamente. En un vertedero de Damasco, un destacado experto sirio en biotecnología es encontrado con evidentes signos de tortura. En una remota región de Afganistán, el hallazgo de una sustancia bacteriológica letal en los restos de unos cooperantes internacionales desata la alarma. Una línea invisible conecta todos estos hechos, dibujando un plan perfecto para cometer un monstruoso crimen contra la humanidad, y la única persona capaz de impedirlo es un ex agente que huye de su pasado y ha borrado su identidad: ahora sólo responde al nombre de Pilgrim, el peregrino.

Hello and welcome to Episode Thirty Nine of Page Turn: the Largo Public Library Podcast. I'm your host, Hannah! If you enjoy the podcast subscribe, tell a friend, or write us a review! The English Language Transcript can be found below But as always we start with Reader's Advisory! The Reader's Advisory for Episode Thirty Nine is Bastard by Max de Radigues. If you like Bastard you should also check out: She Rides Shotgun by Jordan Harper, Abbott by Saladin Ahmed, and Ghostman by Roger Hobbs. My personal favorite Goodreads list Light It Up is on is To Be Read 2020. Happy Reading Everyone Today's Library Tidbit comes to us from the Children's AND the Teen Departments and is on tea and The Tea Dragon series by K. O'Neill. Let's start with what is tea. Tea is a brewed drink made from the leaves of the camellia sinensis and camellia assamica shrubs. Tea is best when it is made from the youngest leaf buds but you can make tea from older leaves as well. Tea as we know it goes through several different processes to turn it from the fresh leaves to the dried product we know and that some of us love. I did plan on going through and describing the entire process of how tea goes from fresh leaves to dried tea waiting to be brewed, but it's really complicated and very dry and honestly it just doesn't make for great audio. There is a good flowchart on the wikipedia page for processing tea that I will attempt to add to the show notes and you can all check that out if you are interested. Tea Processing Flowchart! The short version is that depending on the type of tea you want as the end product you will subject your fresh tea leaves to various different processes. Remember, almost all tea comes from the same plant. Some of the processes that leaves go through to become the tea we recognize are: wilting, bruising, oxidation, fixation, shaping, drying, and curing. Not every tea goes through these processes and there are variations within the different processes that effect the outcome and create different teas. For instance, the type of bruising or level of oxidation that occurs. In addition to tea there are also tisanes which are most commonly now referred to as herbal teas. Herbal teas are made from herbs, flowers, spices, and other plant materials and brewed in a similar manner to tea. Because these are not made with tea most herbal teas do not naturally have caffeine in them making them a popular choice for people who cannot have caffeine due to health or religious reasons or preference. On July 13th the Children's Department and the Teen Department are doing crafts and programs centering around The Tea Dragon series by K. O'Neill. The Tea Dragon series is ostensibly children's graphic novels, but all ages have enjoyed them. Right now there are 3 books in the series with the third The Tea Dragon Tapestry just being released last month. K. O'Neill is an illustrator and graphic novelist from New Zealand. Their works include, Aquicorn Cove, the Tea Dragon series, and Princess Princess Ever After. Their writing and illustrations are gentle and soothing with a strong emphasis on environmentalism and community. While being heart-warming and cute their works do not shy away from heavier topics, such as parental death, climate destruction, and feelings of isolation and loss. While the plots of the Tea Dragon series are very good and the art is amazing and detailed, the big draw for most people is just how stinking adorable the dragons are! In the Tea Dragon series each type/variety of tea or tisane has a small “tea dragon” associated with the variety. Hibiscus is a fluffy pink dragon with wings, chamomile is a sleepy yellow, and jasmine is a sleek green, to describe a very few. Because the series is so popular with our patrons and our staff two different departments stepped up to create fun take home crafts. The children's crafts are available through registration only and are...

On a special flashback episode of the WRITER 2.0 Podcast, I pay tribute to Roger Hobbs: a brilliant writer, a good friend, and a former podcast guest. Roger passed away in November at the age of 28. I also announce a giveaway of Roger’s books.  Long-time listeners may have already heard this interview in July of … Rest in Peace Roger Hobbs, and Book Giveaway—Episode 128—March 8 2017 Read More » The post Rest in Peace Roger Hobbs, and Book Giveaway—Episode 128—March 8 2017 appeared first on A.C. Fuller.

A brilliant stylist of crime lit, Hobbs is remembered by editor Gary Fisketjon and Professor Robert Knapp of Reed College.(photo cred. Leah Nash)

Best-selling author Hobbs wrote his New York Times bestseller, "Ghostman" during his senior year at Reed College. At the same time he was working on his thesis with Robert Knapp, a professor of English and Humanities. Knapp shares memories of Hobbs, and explains the links between Hobbs' academic work and his neo-noir fiction.

What a week! Disjecta's founder gets shown the door, we remember the precocious writer Roger Hobbs, Hari Kondabolu returns to Portland to put some funny back in politics, and we hear about the importance of play, even as an adult. Upheaval at Disjecta - 1:10Disjecta Contemporary Arts Center is losing its founding executive director at the end of this year, and it’s not a happy split. The organization’s board took the unusual step of asking founding director Bryan Suereth to leave in what it calls a "leadership transition." Thing is, there's no new leadership named, leaving the nonprofit's future in flux. Portland Through Decades of Skanner Photography - 4:55Few Portland artists can claim deeper ties to the city than Julie Keefe. She’s shot for everyone from the Oregonian to the New York Times, but she might be best known, at least in Northeast Portland, as the primary photographer for the Skanner newspaper, where she’s documented Portland’s African American community since 1991. A selection of photos drawn from the tens of thousands she's shot are on display at the Oregon Historical Society through Dec. 18. The Passing of Author Roger Hobbs - 14:33We lost a great young voice this month. Roger Hobbs was the author of two books, including the New York Times bestseller “Ghostman,” a thriller about a shadowy thief under a 48-hour deadline to clean up after a heist gone wrong. Hobbs was well known for wearing suits to class and saying his research involved hanging out at seedy bars and buying drinks for criminals in exchange for stories. Hari Kondabolu Finds the Funny in Politics - 22:15Comedian Hari Kondabolu is one of the sharpest wits around this election season, which maybe should come as no surprise — after all, he got his start in comedy from a very unlikely place: political activism. Onstage at comedy clubs throughout the Pacific Northwest, he discovered he could actually fuse the two, getting the audience warmed up to — and even laughing at — really hard subjects. The Mystical Paintings of John Simpkins - 29:23In a ghost town in Oregon’s Alvord Desert, John Simpkins spends his days in solitude, making huge, soulful paintings in one of the most remote places in the West. opbmusic Session with Genders - 35:15Portland band Genders is a story of rebirth. It started as the looser side project to another band in town, Youth. But band members pulled the plug on Youth in 2012, and have been going strong as Genders since. They stopped by the OPB studio to play songs from their newest EP, "Phone Home." The Architecture Firm that's Transforming Portland's Waterfront - 39:42Good news and bad in the global architecture firm Snohetta's quest to transform Portland's waterfront. First, the bad: the James Beard Market got booted from its home at the base of the Morrison Bridge, meaning it's once again homeless. But in good news, the partners behind the Willamette Falls Riverwalk at the old Blue Heron Mill in Oregon City have raised $19 or $25 million for the first phase, and Snohetta is deep in the design process with the public, which includes, well, games. Our columnist in residence, Randy Gragg, stopped by to tell us how it's working, plus to let us know Snohetta has signed on for a third project: to design plans for OMSI's 16 acres of riverfront property in the central eastside.It Ain't All Swings and Teeter-Totters — The Next Generation of Playground Design - 45:19Play is such an essential part of childhood, but it can be an even more lasting experience, when a little thought goes into the places we play. Design Museum Portland has an exhibition on view called "Extraordinary Playscapes" through Dec. 17 at the Pacific Northwest College of Art that examines the current thinking in play design and the importance of play in our lives.
