Walking or Rolling As Praxis, Moving Slow for Liberation

Walk: Slow Down, Wake Up, and Connect at 1-3 Miles Per Hour by Jonathon Stalls

June 27, 2023 by Flimflamingo 2 Comments

Walk is a book I picked up for work as in it was self-assigned professional development reading. Unlike the vast vast majority of the books I read for work this one wasn’t about my work. It wasn’t ” The Literature” (i.e., scholarship, reference texts, manuals/ guides) or professional learning text. It’s a general reader book. A popular title. That’s the way the royal “we” would refer to it. It’s a book I read for work because it’s a book other people read and talk about. It’s […]

Read this, it’s Important

I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver

June 22, 2019 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

I have to admit I was a little surprised to see a Pride display at the local Barnes and Noble that still had a copy of I Wish You All The Best. Also for the record, I really dislike the use of the word “important” to designate something genuinely meaningful that everyone should seek out, but this might be one of those titles which actually deserves that term in that sense. If you can’t imagine the struggle of someone who wants to come out but […]

Everything changes in a Season

The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin

March 21, 2019 by Dusty Highway 2 Comments

Sometimes the weight of expectation is enough to keep me from reading a book I truly want to read. Case in point: I’ve had NK Jemisin’s The Fifth Season on my shelf for almost a year, even though I was sooo excited when I bought my copy. The timing was right, though, since I needed a win after a bit of a streak of so-so reads, and for the most part, this book delivered. The Fifth Season begins with a prologue that introduces the world […]

Breaking the first rule of Fight Club

May 5, 2018 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Originally, Heavy Vinyl was titled Hi Fi Fight Club. This will be important in a minute or two. The basic premise of this graphic novel, originally a short series of comic books now bundled and bound as a set, is cute and light hearted. Teenage Chris has recently gotten her dream job at the local record shop Vinyl Destination. She wants to become a musician and she has a crush on one coworker (peppy Maggie), idolizes her boss (Irene), adores older co-worker (Kennedy), and would […]
