On eating compassionately

The Happy Vegan: A Guide to Living a Long, Healthy, and Successful Life by Russell Simmons, Chris Morrow

It’s a natural time for change: new school year, new season, new job. So, I decided to freshen up my routines across the board. Since I’ve felt sluggish, lately, I’m trying to switch up what I’m eating. Libraries have like a million food books, so I just ran through that aisle and threw all of them … [Read more]

New Old Food

New Native Kitchen by Chef Freddie Bitsoie, James O. Fraioli

by Leave a Comment

Bingo 15: Bird There’s really only two birds in New Native Kitchen, and it’s the three places duck gets mentioned and a handful of chicken recipes. I would also say that the phrase “birds of a feather” applies here because it is intended to introduce people to Indigenous cultures from across the … [Read more]

A More Interesting Way to Do Hogwarts

Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments by T. L. Huchu

by Leave a Comment

Bingo 14: Snake Quick notice: because Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments is new acquisition at my local library, it had a shorter checkout period with no renewal so I had to give it back before getting to write about it; I may not be as totally sure of certain details as a result. The snake theme … [Read more]

The Sword of the Lictor - 4/5 I might be getting a little series fatigue on these books. It doesn't help the matter that this is the second time I am reading these books.

Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?

Macbeth by William Shakespeare

Macbeth: An A+ Audio Study Guide by Markl Breitenberg

by Leave a Comment

Macbeth - 5/5 I am teaching this play to several of my classes this year, so when we re-read it I will also let the students review it as well. The play is great for use in class because it's weird, it's wild, it's bloody, and it's relatively opaque in some of its implications. Shakespeare was on … [Read more]

An absolutely adorable romance set around zombies, familial trauma and several boatloads of dead bodies

The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy by Megan Bannen

by 3 Comments

CBR14Bingo - Bodies: Mercy's an undertaker and Hart kills zombies. I can't imagine a better book for this square! A book involving zombies, familial trauma and so many dead bodies has no right being this adorable. It’s weird and impossible to categorize, but it’s ultimately an enemies-to-lovers … [Read more]
