Thank you, YouTube algorithm, for gracing me with a video diving into the Chainsaw Man author's first series and why I should read it. Based upon how few people have even read this series, I doubt I would've ever come across it myself, unless I decided to look up the author myself one day. But … [Read more]

Just one little squeeze?

down to the wire (as always) – BOOK CLUB TIME!

All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas

by Leave a Comment

Why did I wait so long to read these two? This isn't just a question of Book Club procrastination; this is a "what was I thinking?" moment! I had heard good things about both, I was enraged as ever when they (and others) showed up on lists of challenged and banned books, and they were both available … [Read more]

What’s up with these picture books and their long titles?

Lola Out Loud: Inspired by the Childhood of Activist Dolores Huerta by Jennifer Torres

How many stories are there about a girl named Lola? No, really, how many? It just seems like a lot, and usually, they are not the nicest gals (after all What Lola Wants, Lola Gets is not a song about giving things away). Well, in Lola Out Loud: Inspired by the Childhood of Activist Dolores Huerta … [Read more]

And you thought your mom was cool

The Mother of a Movement: Jeanne Manford: Ally, Activist, and Co-Found of PFLAG by Rob Sanders

by Leave a Comment

We all should probably have a mother like Jeanne Manford. She was a mother of all mothers by doing what she could do for her children. And when one of them came out as gay during a less understanding time to say the least, she could have disowned him, or told him he was a sinner or worse. She could … [Read more]

Three Sisters, One Nation

Keepunumuk: Weeâchumun's Thanksgiving Story by Danielle Greendeer

by Leave a Comment

Keepunumuk: Weeâchumun's Thanksgiving Story might not be a great book (meaning it has all the bells, whistle, computer generated cuteness, and all the “I’m okay you’re okay” lovey-dovey stuff you see in a contemporary book), but it is a solid book. And it is a book with staying power that might just … [Read more]
