How to love Oh no.

How  to Love: A Guide to Feelings & Relationships for Everyone  by Alex Norris

by Leave a Comment

This is the only “Not a How To book about love” you will need. How  to Love: A Guide to Feelings & Relationships for Everyone is told by Alex Norris (famous for a comic that always ends with Oh No). They are a queer writer, therefore, their book is told from a queer point of view. However, I do not care who you are, what your gender, sexuality or favorite flavor of ice cream is, you will find something to love about How to Love.  The big plot point […]

All We Need Is Love and a Really Soft Pillow! by Peter H. Reynolds

by Leave a Comment

Sometimes I really enjoy the work of Peter H. Reynolds, but sometimes things are only “okay.” With All We Need Is Love and a Really Soft Pillow! I am on the side of more than okay, but not my favorite. The idea is clever with a little monster, Little One, and Poppy together, just the two of them as they only need love. But of course, a really soft pillow (or two) is nice as well. And since it might rain, a shelter is a […]

“This is what time travel is. It’s looking at a person, and seeing them in the present and the past, concurrently. And that mode of transport only worked with those one had known a significant time.”

Tomorow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

CBR Bingo – Hold Steady I don’t know what I thought this book was going to be, but this novel exceeded all of my expectations. Someone who recommended it to me said she could have read 200 more pages and I agree. 300 even. 400! IT WAS SO GOOD. I wanted to follow the characters forever and ever. Weepy Warning – this book brought me to tears, to be clear, I was full-on sobbing to the point that my husband was concerned about me. This […]

All About Love: New Visions by bell hooks

by Leave a Comment

bell hooks’ The Will to Change wasn’t just a good book in a sense that books can be quantified in such a manner. It was one that shifted my paradigm and also affirmed me in so many ways. As lauded as that one is, All About Love is considered her seminal text and is, to borrow a phrase from current parlance, having a moment. It’s been largely reissued and reintroduced to a new generation of readers. Once I got over what I wanted it to be and appreciated it […]

A Pizza My Heart by Stephani Stilwell

The Making of Butterflies by Zora Neale Hurston

Time for the round-up of books I want to review but cannot do 250 words each for. They range from picture books to graphic novels. And we see old favoirte authors, new ones, and adult auhotrs coming to dark side (afterall, we are kids and have cookies). Sometimes I like Jim Benton, sometimes I do not. And this was a do not. Catwad Volume 1: It’s Me is a collection of (to some, though the line about running hate for Catwad was amusing) humorous stories […]

A Prayer for the Crown-Shy by Becky Chambers

by 3 Comments

…and yes, she drives that boat too fast and befriends a robot! What else could I need? Once again, I am utterly in love with the newest Becky Chambers. A Prayer for the Crown-Shy, a much awaited sequel to A Psalm for the Wild-Built, was calling my name from the second that I finished the first entry. I always need to point this out, but if this isn’t the place to do then what is; I would not have found myself in the cozy companionship […]
