It smells like teen spirit

Bounce Back by Misako Rocks!

November 3, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I picked up Bounce Back by Misako Rocks! several weeks ago, while I was in the vehicle waiting for someone to leave the grocery store. I did not get very far, so when I picked it up again a few days ago, I skimmed to remind myself what was going on. I realized I had missed pages and a couple plot … [Read more]

“She looked down at her palms and understood – her being was implied, her potential thoughts and feelings coursing through her body, the names of everything she knew and those she didn’t yet, all in the perpetual existence in her fingertips.”

True Biz by Sara Nović

November 3, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

This was a really interesting read, but the ending left me unsatisfied. This is probably a book that a majority of the US population could stand to read for the topic alone, but for me, the story arc left just a little to be desired. I don't necessarily need a happy ending, but I do need that … [Read more]

I wish I would have known Chloe was based on Paris Geller and Kat Stratford before I read this.

I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston

November 3, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

As nearly always happens with me upon reading a book that generates such strong opinions in both directions, I am puzzled by the negative reactions here. I've seen so many people saying they hate Chloe as a main character, and I'm like, why? She's just a teenaged girl. Granted, one that is inspired … [Read more]

Paradise Lost

Even Though I Knew the End by C.L. Polk

November 2, 2022 by Emmalita 2 Comments

Even Though I Knew the End is a gorgeous, intense, tight rope 3 1/2 hour listen. Set in a slightly alternate, puritanical 1930s or 40s Chicago, C.L. Polk weaves together magic, gritty noir, Heaven, Hell, love, and grief. It's both spare and lush with just enough detail to give the world texture and … [Read more]
