What If Your Imagined Self Actually became Real?

Home Is Not a Country by Safia Elhillo

January 15, 2022 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Home Is Not a Country by Safia Elhillo My rating: 4 of 5 stars I stumbled across this book after searching online for novels in verse recommendations for my classroom. Then, I was at my local bookstore and found it on the shelf. I decided to take a chance and see whether I’d like it or not. I’m still new to novel in verse world but I was very absorbed into this volume. The verse in this is very poetic in the sense that it […]

Not As Much Soccer As I Expected

Booked by Kwame Alexander

January 15, 2022 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Booked by Kwame Alexander My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was really conflicted on whether I would like this. Yet the more I read, the more I wanted to stay in the world of Nick and Coby and the cast of characters at their school. Nick faces several conflicts include his first crush, his parents separating, bullies, and an illness. Along the way he finds that words, books, and his family are the tools he needs to navigate the chaos of life. Part of […]

Younger Brothers, Amirite?

Aquaman, Volume 3: Throne of Atlantis by Geoff Johns

January 15, 2022 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Aquaman, Volume 3: Throne of Atlantis by Geoff Johns My rating: 4 of 5 stars If you’ve watched the Aquaman film you’ll be familiar with the first part of this volume. It quickly introduces us to who Arthur is and what/where Atlantis is. There’s a jump in the timeline and that took me a minute to fill in the the gaps. It’s one thing I don’t like about graphic novels that are compilations of comic issues. Sometimes there’s gaps in the story where those issues […]

I Didn’t Think Things Were This Bad. Then I Read This.

On Tyranny Graphic Edition: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder

January 15, 2022 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

On Tyranny Graphic Edition: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century by Timothy Snyder My rating: 5 of 5 stars “On Tyranny” is the graphic novel adaptation of Timothy Snyder’s “On Tyranny” nonfiction text. There’s twenty lessons using examples from the Nazi, Soviet, and communist tyrannies of the twentieth century. These lessons are meant as both warning and action plans. I appreciated that it wasn’t just warnings because that just creates fear. Having the action plans in each lesson makes that anxiety manageable and makes the […]

Reminded Me Why I’m Not Into the Beatniks

Beatnik Buenos Aires by Diego Arandojo

January 15, 2022 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Beatnik Buenos Aires by Diego Arandojo My rating: 3 of 5 stars I’m not a fan of the Beatnik movement. I appreciate the place in art history this movement had but for me it’s too disjointed, tears things down with no solution, and seems too chaotic. It’s also too existential and cynical for me to enjoy. So why read about Beatniks in Buenos Aires? Curiosity. I’ve never been to Argentina but I do know that Buenos Aires has been influential in various artistic movements, it […]

A Book that Deserves Much More Buzz than it Received

A Heart in a Body in the World by Deb Caletti

December 31, 2021 by The Chancellor 1 Comment

A Heart in a Body in the World by Deb Caletti My rating: 5 of 5 stars Wow. This was a powerful book from cover to cover. It’s a slow burn that draws you in and once you get to the reveal you’re so invested you hate to put the book down. We start with a young woman who has experienced a recent trauma and is still putting her life back together from it. What starts out as a run away from her tragedy turns […]
