The Price of the Ticket

The Price of the Ticket by James Baldwin

Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin

Nobody Knows My Name by James Baldwin

The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin

No Name in the Street by James Baldwin

The Devil Finds Work by James Baldwin

June 16, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

The Price of the Ticket This is a big collection of James Baldwin essays and nonfiction from about 40 years or of writing. I tend to be a bigger fan of James Baldwin's nonfiction more than his fiction in part because I think the poetry of his brain and language elevates his nonfiction in such a … [Read more]

Aspects of the Novel

Aspects of the Novel by EM Forster

June 16, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

This is a collection of eight lectured that EM Forster delivered in 1925 or so about the different elements of the novel. I think it mostly still holds up, so long as your aim is not grad or professional literary criticism (and probably still plenty if it is). The book is divided into the different … [Read more]

Spinster Meets Beast

Chasing the Earl by Kathleen Ayers

June 15, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Emmagene and Henry attend a house party to support their friends' wedding, but because they are not very popular people, they are constantly thrown together by the hostess - which turns out to be not a bad thing after all. I picked up this book because I was interested in how the author would … [Read more]

Oaths of Legacy

“Ah, Gal. You’ll figure it out eventually.”

Oaths of Legacy by Emily Skrutskie

June 15, 2022 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

I wasn’t a big fan of Gal in the last book, so when I heard this one would be from his POV? Well, I had my reservations. Luckily, while I spent most of the book wanting to smack Gal upside the head, I also very much enjoyed it. This book contains definite spoilers for Bonds of Brass, so be … [Read more]

Witches, demons and cops

Black Magick Vol 3: Ascension 1 by Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott

June 15, 2022 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

I reviewed the first two volumes of Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott’s Black Magick series for Cannonball 10. Given the gap in time, I did a quick reread so that I could remember what was going on for this third volume. This series is pretty cool, dealing with police work and witchcraft/demons. The main … [Read more]

White People

White People by Allan Gurganus

June 15, 2022 by vel veeter 1 Comment

One of the weirdest literary phenomenon is when a writer puts out some piece of writing that just absolutely captures the attention of readers, and then there's a follow-up scramble to capitalize on that success. In some cases, it's downright embarrassing for those involved when say a drawerful of … [Read more]
