The End Justifies the Means

Radicalized by Cory Doctorow

by 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

by 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.

Two characters quickly find love with each other, but their small community and local high school classmate will … [Read more]

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

by 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.

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

Sabrina by Nick Drnaso

by 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]
