Two cats curled up, sleeping on a blanket with a book, "The Tea Dragon Tapestry" by K. O'Neill between them

“A tender, lovingly crafted book about growth, longing, grief, and renewal that I want to read over and over again” (quote from Carey Pietsch)

The Tea Dragon Tapestry by K. O'Neill

November 15, 2021 by Dome'Loki 2 Comments

Never has a blurb on a cover so encapsulated my feelings about a book but Carey Pietsch, artist for The Adventure Zone books, has summed up The Tea Dragon Tapestry so succinctly that everything you need to know about it is right there.  If you’ve read the previous two Tea Dragon books you must read this lovely conclusion to the trilogy.  If you’ve never heard about tea dragons and the quote intrigues you, here are my reviews for the first two books, The Tea Dragon Society and The […]

Not for me, thanks.

The President's Assistant by Mia Faye

November 1, 2021 by chelz.hawk Leave a Comment

Harper has ambitious political aspirations so when her internship with the Senator of Maryland is discontinued, she is desperate to find new work. Fortunately, her best friend put her in touch with a Congressman making a bid for the presidency and in need of a personal assistant. However Harper and Congressmen Reid Prentice cross the line from professional to personal–having a quick romp in a limo before Harper even starts her job. Unwilling to compromise either of their political careers Reid and Harper establish their […]

Did not expect to love a book about economics and baseball but here we are

Moneyball by Michael Lewis

October 31, 2021 by Wanderlustful 1 Comment

I know far more about baseball than someone with my level of interest (mild) should. I have favourite players (Mookie Betts and Corey Seager), a lot of thoughts on player hair and facial hair (Cody Bellinger’s haircut, Seager’s unfortunate ‘goatee’) and I even know the team’s GM (Dave Roberts). In short: I live with a baseball fanatic (Dodgers fan, obviously) and have essentially absorbed these things, osmosis style from the many, many games that play in the background to my daily life during baseball season […]

New York City in the 70s man. You just had to be there

Just Kids by Patti Smith

October 31, 2021 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

Last year I read Rachel Kushner’s The Flamethrowers, which takes place in the arts scene in New York in the early ‘70s. Just Kids feels like the novel that Kushner was trying to write, or at least the world she was trying to fit her characters into. The contrast between these two works was really highlighted by how vibrant and desire-filled Smith’s book is- the things that bothered me about The Flamethrowers were the limp, motive-less main character and the pretension of the art world […]

Perfect armchair traveling

Literary Places by Sarah Baxter

October 31, 2021 by Wanderlustful 1 Comment

I love to travel, and the last almost two years have made it tough to scratch that itch. When I really sit back and think about it though, one of the best parts about travel is the anticipation. Before I leave I try to watch movies or read books set in there, to really get a feel for the place. Literary Places is a short, beautifully illustrated and vividly described tour through 25 cities that feature prominently in different famous literary works: southern India through […]
