Worth the hype!

The Magic Fish by Trung Le Nguyen

October 31, 2021 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

The Magic Fish By Trung Le Nguyen   I knew this book had won awards going in, but I wasn’t really sure what to expect.  Whatever awards this got, it most definitely deserved!   Going in, I knew that it was about a Vietnamese boy, Tíển, struggling to find the words to come out to his parents, while bonding with them over fairy tales.  But it is so much more than that.  It is a story about family and immigration and survival.  It’s about acceptance […]

BINGO – Book Club (CBR Book Club selection for 2020) A pandemic has wiped out most of the population of Earth. Very few survive to see the world collapse, but there they are. Some go wild. Some dive head first into fringe religious belief. Some take refuge in music and theater. Everyone, though, in one way or another, is trying to do more than just survive. Told through a multiple timelines, points of view, and narrative styles, Station Eleven tells the story of how people cope with […]

The worst part about reading something day 1 is that you have the wait the longest possible length of time to read the next book…

The Last Graduate by Naomi Novik

October 16, 2021 by wicherwill 5 Comments

Book Club: after I indoctrinated two friends into the Gideon the Ninth world, we all grouped together to read and discuss other books. This was so good my friend had to call us in the middle of the night her time to have an impromptu “Locked Tomb Book Club” meeting. When I was doing my catch up review writing, I thought I was done and then I was just about to congratulate myself on finishing out my backlog of reviews when I sensed that I was […]

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

September 23, 2021 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

One of our #CannonBookClub prompts asked if there’s any special power in taking a known story and envisioning it in a new way, and for me the answer is a resounding yes. Whether its something along the lines of Longbourn where characters who are merely set dressing in the original tale are given the limelight or something like The Bear and the Nightingale where history and folktales are put into a blender, metaphorically, and something new arrives there is more often than not an engaging […]
