Moby Dick by Herman Melville

July 14, 2023 by Bothari43

His motions plainly denoted his extreme exhaustion. In most land animals there are certain valves or flood-gates in many of their veins, whereby when wounded, the blood is in some degree at least instantly shut off in certain directions. Not so with the whale; one of whose peculiarities it is to have an entire non-valvular structure of the blood-vessels, so that when pierced even by so small a point as a harpoon, a deadly drain is at once begun upon his whole arterial system; and […]

“That is the significant part of telling our own stories: by doing so, we demonstrate our cultural continuance.”

Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection Vol. 1-3 by Hope Nicholson, Elizabeth LaPensee, and Michael Sheyahshe, ed.

December 22, 2021 by Mswas Administrator 11 Comments

That quote in the title of these reviews comes from Michael Sheyahshe’s introduction to Moonshot: Volume 1 and it serves as a rallying cry for all three volumes. The Moonshot series, published in 2015, 2017 and 2019, is, as the title says, a collection of comics written and drawn by Indigenous writers and artists. These volumes were also published and distributed by Avani and Inhabit Education Books, which are Inuit owned. The reason for the volumes is pretty obvious — Indigenous people have had very […]

“So.” She drummed her fingers on the book. “You’re a grown man who still reads ghost and monster stories.”

The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher

The Whisper Man by Alex North

Verity by Colleen Hoover

A Cosmology of Monsters by Shaun Hamill

January 17, 2020 by badkittyuno

(4 stars) The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher Kingfisher tells us from chapter one that the dog (Bongo, best dog ever) and the narrator (Mouse, also quite enjoyable) will be okay at the end of the book. This is good, because I liked them both very much, and this book was SO CREEPY that I really needed some reassurances by the end. Mouse gets called up by her dying father to help with his dead mother’s estate — specifically, the big old house in the […]

Katie Hates Reading Plays

Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley

December 11, 2019 by faintingviolet

I hate reading plays. I HATE IT. We don’t expect people to have great literary experiences reading movies scripts, but we do with plays. I do reading challenges every year (this one is for Reading Women) for the express purpose of making my reading more diverse so I’m not going to let plays defeat me is poetry hasn’t in years past. But I did no enjoy a single minute of it. I’m still rating this three stars because it isn’t the play’s fault I’m not […]
