“I’m just a man-hating feminist who can’t take a joke? It’s totally my fault that it’s not funny, right?”

Undateable by Sarah Title

April 8, 2022 by Nart 6 Comments

A book about an angry, frumpy feminist who loves books getting a make over to stop being single? I could not wait to be mad at this book. Only I couldn’t. It’s adorable and funny and eschews the problems with its own premise expertly. Plot: Bernie is your standard angry feminist. She is extremely smart, she has a small group of devoted friends, she loves learning, and she has had it up to here with patriarchy. Her terrible poker face means that even when she […]

“Just a splash of whore.”

Hard Time by Cara Mckenna

April 8, 2022 by Nart 1 Comment

A surprisingly deft exploration of what starts out as a forbidden romance between a prisoner and a volunteer prison librarian and tries to expand the conversation to what it means to act ethically and questions whether there is ever one “right” way to act or be. Plot: Anne has been burned badly. Her last relationship ended after years of emotional abuse when the abuse became physical. In an attempt to rebuild, she left the south where she grew up and moved north to a small […]

Witch Please by Ann Aguirre

April 8, 2022 by Nart 1 Comment

This book has insta-love and yet I don’t hate it. Miracles do happen. Plot: Danica is a tech witch. So is her cousin and best friend Clementine. They can mess with technology, so what better way to make their money than by opening an appliance repair shop in the small midwestern town their family settled in after centuries of persecution. Thanks to some intense family drama, Dani and Clem have sworn off relationships. On the other side of town, Titus has some intense family drama […]

“There is room on this land for all of us and there must also be, after centuries of struggle, room for justice for Indigenous peoples. That is all we ask. And we will settle for nothing less.”

Unsettling Canada by Arthur Manuel

April 8, 2022 by Nart Leave a Comment

Much of the material written in the public sphere about Indigenous people in Canada, their struggle, and possible ways forward, are written with a very uninformed reader in mind. Those books are, of course, vital. These are extraordinarily difficult topics with complex roots and very few simple answers. It is critical that there is an on ramp for people who are trying to learn. This book, however, is not for folks new to the struggle. If you have been educating yourself for some time, already […]

“Imagine ‘Drunk Ikea’ nights. You show your ID at the door, and then they get you plastered in the kitchen section, blindfold and spin you around a few times, and you have to find your way out.”

Even Odds by Elia Winters

April 8, 2022 by Nart 2 Comments

I have no idea how this thing ended up on my TBR, which means it probably came from Reddit, so it has happened. Reddit recommended a book I liked! Plot: Isabel Suarez has been burned. At her last job as a programmer for a video game company, she started dating a colleague, and the rest of the fuck boys decided that meant open season for the rest of the them. After she left, she decided not to take any chances – best her colleagues think […]

The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazlewood

April 8, 2022 by Nart 1 Comment

She’s also a deeply, deeply lonely person despite her two best friends. So when one of those best friends develops a crush on a guy Olive was very briefly, very casually dating, Olive is determined to figure out a way to make those crazy kids get together. What better way than to show them she’s moved on? Only she’s not […]

  • narfna on And now, jump back hundreds and hundreds of years…#BlameMalin on this one for me, too, because she literally sent me a copy.
