How I Learned to Drive "Sometimes to tell a secret, you first have to teach a lesson." I first read this book in college when I was taking an Intro to Theater class in college where among other things I had to read a bunch of plays and see a bunch of performances. I reread it in part because I … [Read more]

This was fine, but I doubt I’ll ever re-read it

Ian McEwan (1); William Shakespeare (1-2)

Nutshell by Ian McEwan

Hamlet by William Shakespeare

Macbeth by William Shakespeare

February 13, 2023 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Nutshell - 4/5 Stars "So here I am, upside down in a woman." Ian McEwan has been writing and publishing near on 50 years. His fiction can be a little hit or miss, with some of his more famous works like the Booker Prize winning Amsterdam often seen as his weakest. For me this is simply not … [Read more]

Charley Skedaddle by Patricia Beatty

February 13, 2023 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

"As he set the hatbox on a crate beside him, Charley Quinn heard the words in his head: "If you ever got to fight alone, Charley, me lad, get your back to the wall." This is a reread from a long time ago for me, and it's of a type to be sure. It's a historical middle-grade novel published in 1987 … [Read more]

The Sins That Find Us

“We can both hate and love in the same breath and still not want to change a single day of how we live.”

The Sins That Find Us by E.M. Lindsey

February 13, 2023 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

I don’t normally read dark romance, but I’m a pretty big fan of this author, so I figured I’d give this book a try. It’s different but still quite enthralling as well as quite steamy. Kane and his Misfit Toys, as one of them calls them, all have reasons to hate Alice’s father, and kidnapping and … [Read more]

“My suffering was washed away along with my tears. But somewhere mother’s tears remain in stasis, jelled.”

A Drunken Dream and Other Stories by Moto Hagio

February 12, 2023 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

This is a very nicely packaged hardcover collection of manga short stories by Moto Hagio. The stories are varied but they have strong emotional themes connecting them, mainly dealing with feelings of lonliness/isolation, societal pressures, and tragedy/grief. Hagio's beautiful art wonderfully coveys … [Read more]
