Since these introductions came by radio, I had no idea what the musicians looked like, or even whether they played the instruments accompanying them. Two decades later it introduced me not just to Tharpe, but also to the likes of Big Bill Broonzy and Woody Guthrie. This was the classical station that in 1953, in a groundbreaking program created by Mike Nichols, began playing the music of the American people. It most assuredly was coming out of our old Grundig radio, tuned, as it always was late on Saturday evenings in Chicago, to “The Midnight Special” on WFMT. ![]() The first time I heard Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s voice must have been when I was in high school in the 1970s. ![]() 5/27/2023 0 Comments Alpha jasinda wilder series![]() ![]() The next month, I received another check, again from VRI Incorporated. If you receive a mysterious check, for enough money to erase all your worries, would you cash it? No mention of repayment, interest, nothing…except a single word, on the notes line: "You." Just those three letters. No hint of identity or reason for the check or anything. ![]() There was no name on the check, just "VRI Inc.," and a post office box address for somewhere in the city. Enough to pay the bills and leave me some left over to live on until I found a job. Inside was a check, made out to me, in the amount of ten thousand dollars. And then, just when I thought all hope was lost, I found an envelope in the mail. There was no hope, no money in my account, no work to be found. Bills were piling up, adding up to more money than I could ever make. The first time it happened, it seemed like an impossible miracle. Blog Tour Review, Book Trailer and Giveaway: Alpha by Jasinda Wilder ALPHA by Jasinda Wilder ![]() ![]() Well, there you have it, 10 books like Mistborn. ![]() It’s classic fantasy at its finest, so if you like “the old stuff” then I think you’ll enjoy this book, which is why it makes the list in the first place. There’s interdimensional war going on and our hero is kind of thrust into it against his will. I stopped reading the series after this one, so perhaps it improves greatly throughout the rest of the books, but if you’re looking for a book like Mistborn, you’re probably interested in magic and magic systems.Ĭertainly this book has an interesting premise and magic plays a part. It’s still epic fantasy, but despite its title there is a surprisingly little magic in this book. ![]() ![]() Ignoring what I said above, this one is probably the actual least book like Mistborn. This book is number 10 on the list for a reason. ![]() |
