The Next Civil War (A Fiction)

The Next Civil War by Stephen Marche

March 9, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

I spent almost the entire of this book trying to figure out if it's any good or not. My issue is not actually political. A lot of the reviews seem to take offense with the idea that the most likely perpetrators of the "next civil war" will be right-wing terrorists. Well, get over it. When that … [Read more]

What we talk about when we talk about shame

A Lie Someone Told You About Yourself by Peter Ho Davies

March 9, 2022 by booktrovert Leave a Comment

Beautiful, funny writing. Incisive, even if this is a familiar plot - picking up after boy meets girl, zooming into the marriage in the time of children. This time, the story begins with a false start and a heart breaking choice, and for these deeply introspective parents that decision recurs with … [Read more]

Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments

Immersive, engaging and a whole lotta fun

Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments by T.L. Huchu

March 9, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 2 Comments

T.L. Huchu’s The Library of the Dead was one of my favorite books of last year, so you better believe I went nuts when I saw that unbelievable cover. Just like the first, this book is captivating, immersing you in the world of a post-catastrophe Edinburgh through the eyes of one teen girl who can … [Read more]

(Mount) Olympus, Texas

Olympus, Texas by Stacey Swann

March 8, 2022 by booktrovert Leave a Comment

I was honestly torn about how I felt about this book for quite a long time. My first impression of the book was that these were pretty terrible people - and, though I do love a good dysfunctional family, and don't always feel that you have to like the characters in a book in order to enjoy reading … [Read more]

Fine, I’ll Say It

Peace Talks by Jim Butcher

March 8, 2022 by Debcapsfan 4 Comments

I got Peace Talks by Jim Butcher out of the library. I'm not sure they have Battle Ground, I guess I should check. I was...underwhelmed. I'm starting to think that Jim Butcher can't write/doesn't know what to do with his female characters. Everyone wants Harry, Harry wants everyone, except Justine, … [Read more]

For the Girls who’ll be the Women

Bedtime Ballet by Kallie George

Stella Keeps the Sun Up by Clothilde Ewing

Pineapple Princess by Sabine Hahn

March 8, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When you have three picture books that are at best a “three each” you cannot say much about them beyond the usual what they are about, quick something about the illustrations, and if you liked it or not. But due to the fact March is Women’s History Month, these three are books you want to add to … [Read more]
