Stripped

Real Easy by Marie Rutkoski

March 5, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

I sat on this review for most of the day, unsure of what to make of this book. I think I'm gonna land on the side of "good" and give it a 4-star seal of approval. I think a lot of people are coming into this looking at the subplot of crime involving a stripper and assume this is a Hustler$-esque … [Read more]

“There is more than one kind of freedom. . . . Freedom to and freedom from.”

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

March 5, 2022 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

I've had The Handmaid's Tale on my shelf for many months now, but I've been avoiding starting it. I wanted to read it, but I felt like I had to be in a certain (untroubled) emotional state to face it, and that's been a tall order these past couple of years. I recently braced myself and got down to … [Read more]

Comics and exercising: the perfect combination

The Secret to Superhuman Strength by Alison Bechdel

March 5, 2022 by Sophia 1 Comment

I saw The Secret to Superhuman Strength (2021) by Alison Bechdel on NPR's Best Books List and was immediately intrigued. I'd already read the graphic memoir, Fun House, by Bechdel, which I enjoyed, but this one seemed right up my alley. I have a hard time describing Bechdel's graphic memoirs because … [Read more]

The normalcy was almost violent in its opposition to everything else.

Bass-Ackwards by Eris Adderly

March 5, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

Sometimes, I’m going along and suddenly my brain wants to read something real weird. Usually, nothing that fits that weird shape calls itself to my attention and I can get on with my usual reading. Last night I came across Eris Adderly’s Bass-Ackwards and knew it was the real weird thing I wanted to … [Read more]

All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells

March 4, 2022 by Sophia 6 Comments

A friend from my book club is constantly recommending science-fiction novels that I strongly dislike. It's not that I hate science fiction, but it's not my go-to genre, and she has honestly picked some very bad books. So when she recommended All Systems Red: The Murderbot Diaries (2017) by Martha … [Read more]

A Warm, Queer Hug

The One True Me and You by Remi K. England

March 4, 2022 by LB 4 Comments

This book is nothing less than a warm hug! It was exactly what I needed to bring some light and joy to my day, and I don’t know if I can express how much it means that it exists. Kaylee is in Orlando for GreatCon, a fan convention for Sherlock show The Great Game, and a chance for them to try out … [Read more]
