Ice Ice Baby

The Ice Coven by Max Seeck

October 8, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

Read as part of CBR14Bingo “cold” for multiple reasons: it has “ice” in the title, the cover is a woman standing on a frozen body of water outside of an island covered in snow, and it’s set in Finland in November. All of this shouts: cold cold cold! This is why book bingos are great. I picked up this book in a Target of all places because I read good things about the author. But knowing it was the second in a series, and seeing […]

Turning planets into origami

Shards of Earth by Adrian Tchaikovsky

August 22, 2022 by Malin 8 Comments

CBR14 Bingo: Cold (the majority of this novel is set in spaaace, which is famously very cold) It would also work for Star and Series.  Official book description: Idris has neither aged nor slept since they remade his mind in the war. And one of humanity’s heroes now scrapes by on a freelance salvage vessel, to avoid the attention of greater powers. Eighty years ago, Earth was destroyed by an alien enemy. Many escaped, but millions more died. So mankind created enhanced humans ­such as Idris – […]

“It’s time for the world to let queer black boys unpack their shit.”

All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson

August 10, 2022 by faintingviolet 3 Comments

When we had our book club vote for September, I was secretly hoping that All Boys Aren’t Blue would be one of the ones we chose. I was flabbergasted that in November of last year the memoir had a criminal report filed with the Flagler County Sheriff’s office by a member of the Flagler County School Board arguing that the book’s inclusion in three district school libraries violated state obscenity laws because it contained sexually graphic material. It has also been removed from school libraries […]

A Lesson Before Dying by Ernest J Gaines

July 29, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

CBR14Bingo – Question: Why are so many Americans obsessed with this book (especially Libertarians and Sovereign Citizens) Common Sense – This is one of those books whose main ideas and arguments I ostensibly know through cultural osmosis. If I had ever read it before, I am less sure, but I have taken a handful of early American classes, so maybe. One of the prevailing ideas that came to me as I read this and thought more about why it holds such a special place in […]

Wastelands: The New Apocalypse by John Joseph Adams & Others

July 19, 2022 by Ale 1 Comment

I’m putting together a new class for work that is supposed to cover cross-cultural perspectives, but also be speculative, but also be relevant to ‘kids these days’, so what better place to start than with an anthology of post-apocalyptic fiction specializing in pandemics! Chocked full of terrifying tales, Wastelands: The New Apocalypse includes a variety of authors from different places, cultures, and perspectives all writing about humanity’s deepest and darkest fears. From deadly spores and burning suns to viruses and carcinogenic air, this anthology mines for […]

Apocalypse Snow: The Terror, The Terror

The Terror by Dan Simmons

February 15, 2022 by Saube75013 Leave a Comment

Despite a few defaults (repetitive set pieces in the middle section, some predictable twists, probably too many characters), this tale of the ill fated expedition of the Royal Navy to the Arctic in the 1840s will be worth your time. Based on a true story (what fiction isn’t these days?) this mixes brilliantly exploration, survival and fantasy with a vivid style that will make you feel the cold, pain and suffering of the sailors who went to discover a passage to the north and found […]
