The Gates of Europe

The Gates of Europe by Serhii Plokhy

September 25, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

This book was on sale on Audible a while back and seemed like the perfect kind of book to settle up my sense of Ukranian history. This part of the world as a whole is a big hole in my knowledge and for obvious reasons I wanted a separate history of Ukraine. The book is about as straight-forward as … [Read more]

The Bird Catcher by Gayl Jones

The Shadow Puppet by Georges Simenon

September 25, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Maria Maria and other stories - 3/5 I picked up this book because it was nominated for the National Book Award, and it reminds me of how dubious I often am of story collections being nominated for fiction prizes that should probably go to novels. This is a perfectly good collection of stories, … [Read more]

Look Back by Tatsuki Fujimoto

Goodbye, Eri by Tatsuki Fujimoto

Assassination Classroom, Volume 1 by Yusei Matsui

September 24, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith 1 Comment

I wish there was some sort of online rental alternative. Maybe your library has some comics. If you're super lucky, there's some manga included in … [Read more]
