The End Justifies the Means

Radicalized by Cory Doctorow

March 29, 2022 by Debcapsfan Leave a Comment

Radicalized by Cory Doctorow is four short stories turned into a novel. I checked this out from the library. The cover grabbed me, it is black and white with four red and black images, a piece of toast with a no sign marked through it, a person in a heroic pose with a cape trailing behind them, a … [Read more]

Brush up on your graphic novels

Primer by Jennifer Muro

March 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

My go-to for when I do not think I can write 250 words for a review is I start brainstorming, writing things down. And I will do that with Primer by Jennifer Muro and Thomas Krajewski. I have had a copy of Primer since goodness knows when. However, I misplaced it. Therefore, when I was browsing … [Read more]

A cray-sea life

You Brought Me The Ocean by Alex Sanchez

March 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

You Brought Me The Ocean. Seems simple enough of a title. The story that Alex Sanchez created is not as simple as that. This is a fun book about love and being true to yourself. Two characters quickly find love with each other, but their small community and local high school classmate will … [Read more]

Good subject, physically difficult to read

Gasoline Dreams: Waking Up from Petroculture by Simon Orpana

March 29, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

The contents of Gasoline Dreams are great. The book is physically hard to read. It took me months to get through it because the woodcut style of the text and graphics gave me headaches. I became reluctant to pick it up because who likes headaches? The cover is deceptive. It is brightly colored … [Read more]

Life Under the Regime

A Village in the Third Reich by Julia Boyd, Angelika Patel

March 28, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Wars come and go, but life goes on. And so it went on in the village of Oberstdorf throughout the 1930s and 1940s, with the rise and fall of Nazism an undercurrent all along - except it was one that swelled in a way that even a quiet little village couldn't ignore. A few years ago I took a class … [Read more]

In a time when conspiracy theories run rampant, Sabrina seems all the more vital a read

Sabrina by Nick Drnaso

March 28, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

It's not exactly been the best time for reading. I'm spending most of my breaks at work looking for a different job, since the one I started at two weeks ago sold me a bill of lies, and I've been sick for what feels like about half the time lately. Today, I'm on my second cold in a row. And when … [Read more]
