100 Recipes and Almost as Many Nopes

Vegan 100 by Gaz Oakley

by 4 Comments

Vegan 100 is going to be a cookbook I don’t cook much out of; it turns out to be more pretentious than I tend to like, making it interesting to read but not practical to actually cook much from. It calls for sea-beans in a couple of recipes and I have never seen those in any local market within 75 … [Read more]

Why I can’t finish action manga series most of the time

Jujutsu Kaisen vols 13-15 by Gege Akutami

by Leave a Comment

Something that annoys me is when action-based stories spend many pages, episodes, or volumes telling a bunch of different sides, parts, or experiences of a fight; it gets boring and I lose track, get bored, or both. Jujustsu Kaisen has gone there. It started a volume or two ago, and volumes 13, 14, … [Read more]

Fine, but not for me

The Dispossessed by Ursula K. Le Guin

by 1 Comment

This was a library sci-fi book club pick, and I’m not sure it’s one I would’ve finished otherwise. I know Le Guin is the Grandma of Science Fiction, and I’ve read and enjoyed her before, but this one felt like a Philosophy 101 class and I don’t think I was quite in the mood for it. Urras is the … [Read more]

When having nosy neighbors is a good thing

Postscript Murders by Elly Griffiths

by 3 Comments

A murder mystery where the victims are authors of murder mysteries! This one had to be fun to write. It’s the second book with detective Harbinder Kaur (after Stranger Diaries), but I don’t think you have to read the first one to jump in. This was a great example of “group of nosy civilians gets … [Read more]

Jules Verne for the Zoomers.

Daughter of the Deep by Rick Riordan

by Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 27/30 So I read another Rick Riordan book after I said I was going to stop, but I just get so curious! And this is the first Middle Grade book he's written in FOREVER that isn't about demigods, and it's a play on 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which I used to love … [Read more]
