Quinlan, who is familiar to most film librarians and scholars for his numerous articles and reference guides, has updated his Quinlan's Illustrated Directory of Film Character Actors (1996). It features over 1200 living and dead actors, primarily from the English-speaking world, who made their careers as character actors, those familiar faces who often appear in dozens if not hundreds of feature films without star billing. Although previous editions favored British actors, this one abounds with U.S. personalities, including Steve Buscemi, Janeane Garofalo, and Danny Glover. Arranged alphabetically by last name, each entry includes a black-and-white photo, brief biography (including cause of death, when applicable), and lengthy filmography. The biographical sections are especially pertinent, as they identify character traits (e.g., 'hound dog eyes,' although Quinlan focuses on hair quality more often than not) that help typecast the player. Little-known facts about some of these actors only add to the fun of browsing through the book. Bottom Line Although users will have to leaf through the pages to connect a face with a name, Quinlan's guide is highly recommended for all public and academic libraries.--Anthony J. Adam, Prairie View A&M Univ. Lib., TX 408pg. CAHNERS PUBLISHING, c2004.-

A #1 New York Times bestseller! Sarah J. Maas's brand-new CRESCENT CITY series begins with House of Earth and Blood: the story of half-Fae and half-human Bryce Quinlan as she seeks revenge in a contemporary fantasy world of magic, danger, and searing romance. Bryce Quinlan had the perfect life-working hard all day and partying all night-until a demon murdered her closest friends, leaving her bereft, wounded, and alone. When the accused is behind bars but the crimes start up again, Bryce finds herself at the heart of the investigation. She'll do whatever it takes to avenge their deaths. Hunt Athalar is a notorious Fallen angel, now enslaved to the Archangels he once attempted to overthrow. His brutal skills and incredible strength have been set to one purpose-to assassinate his boss's enemies, no questions asked. But with a demon wreaking havoc in the city, he's offered an irresistible deal: help Bryce find the murderer, and his freedom will be within reach. As Bryce and Hunt dig deep into Crescent City's underbelly, they discover a dark power that threatens everything and everyone they hold dear, and they find, in each other, a blazing passion-one that could set them both free, if they'd only let it. With unforgettable characters, sizzling romance, and page-turning suspense, this richly inventive new fantasy series by #1 New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas delves into the heartache of loss, the price of freedom-and the power of love.

What’s worse? Someone using your face for catfishing or realizing you actually do have a crush on the catfished girl? Harper “Band Geek” McKinley just wants to make it through her senior year of marching band—and her Republican father’s presidential campaign. That was a tall order to start, but everything was going well enough until someone made a fake gay dating profile posing as Harper. The real Harper can’t afford for anyone to find out about the Tinder profile for three very important reasons: 1. Her mom is the school dean and dating profiles for students are strictly forbidden. 2. Harper doesn't even know if she likes anyone like that—let alone if she likes other girls. 3. If this secret gets out, her father could lose the election, one she's not sure she even wants him to win. But upon meeting Margot Blanchard, the drumline leader who swiped right, Harper thinks it might be worth the trouble to let Margot get to know the real her. With her dad’s campaign on the line, Harper’s relationship with her family at stake, and no idea who made that fake dating profile, Harper has to decide what’s more important to her: living her truth or becoming the First Daughter of America.
