Thinking of Winter in Summer

Winter: A Folio Anthology by Various

by Leave a Comment

I ordered my brother a set of Hornblower novels from The Folio Society as a birthday present (his planned present of a trip to see Harry Potter and the Cursed Child being delayed by Coronavirus) and they sent me this delightful little anthology on the theme of winter as a free gift. I promised I’d read and review it and managed to do that over lunch today. There are little anthologies for all the seasons containing poems, snippets of stories, fables, and documents relating to […]

King Midas Must Fail

Uncommon Type by Tom Hanks

by Leave a Comment

My husband received this book as a birthday gift, and I was excited because of my fondness for Tom Hanks. I could quickly name, as many can, beloved movies starring Hanks – Splash, Big, Forrest Gump, A League of their Own… and many more. Since it seems that Hanks has the Midas touch, I was certain I would enjoy his book. Unfortunately, I was wrong. Uncommon Type is a book of fictional short stories, each, in some way, involving a typewriter. I’ve never been a […]

“Because, my girl you are sacred, valuable, indispensable, and irreplaceable”

#NotYourPrincess: Voices of Native American Women by Lisa Charleyboy, Mary Beth Leatherdale (editors)

by Leave a Comment

I keep doing reading challenges for a couple reasons, but one of them is that it tends to point out areas that my reading habits need to expand. This year the Read Harder Challenge includes tasks for both YA Non-fiction and to read a book in any genre by a Native, First Nations, or Indigenous author. I’ve already read one YA Non-fiction this year, but while I was hunting up titles I came across #NotYourPrincess: Voices of Native American Women edited by Lisa Charleyboy and […]

Non-Binary Stars

Behind the Sun, Above the Moon by Ziggy Schutz, Paige S. Allen, Brooklyn Ray, J.S. Fields, S.R. Jones, Alex Harrow, Emmett Nahil, Sara Codair, Anna Zabo

by Leave a Comment

I was excited to see Behind the Sun, Above the Moon on NetGalley and delighted to receive it in exchange for an honest review. A Queer anthology inspired by magic and the cosmos, a vast and beautiful place where planets, stars, comets—entire galaxies, even—live without borders, specifications or binaries. Stories span science fiction, science fantasy, contemporary, fabulism and magical realism, and celebrate Non-binary and Transgender characters. I received an arc from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I requested this because Anna Zabo is […]

You can’t silence Love

Love is Love by Marc Andreyko

by Leave a Comment

I wasn’t quite sure what to read for the Banned Book #CBR11Bingo square. And then my friend George shared an article about an Irving school district recently banning the comic book, Love is Love. It was sad and frustrating to learn. A tribute to the victims of the Orlando Pulse shooting was censored for “extreme homosexuality” by close-minded educators. I knew instantly I had to read this collection and review it for my first ever bingo. The book may be banned, but the message won’t be […]
