Oh just talk to each other, wont’ you?!

Normal People by Sally Rooney

May 11, 2021 by Mobius_Walker 8 Comments

Connell and Marianne are classmates in high school. He is cool; she is not. He is popular; she is not. She comes from money, he does not. They both are bright. Despite their many differences, they are drawn to each other. And no matter what happens, they seem to always return to each other. Throughout Normal People, we get glimpses of their lives cycling through periods of coming together and drifting apart. This book was infuriating. Author Sally Rooney did a phenomenal job (maybe too […]

A fun introduction to tarot especially if you want to read for others

Kitchen Table Tarot by Melissa Cynova

May 8, 2021 by Mobius_Walker 5 Comments

This is another entry in the Kitchen Table series by Melissa Cynova. This book, Kitchen Table Tarot, is an introduction to tarot cards and tarot reading. Cynova breaks the book down into three main parts: an introduction to tarot and tarot reading in general, her interpretation of the cards and how she reads, and a guide on how to do readings for other people. Overall, I felt that the the first and third parts had enough overlap that having multiple chapters at the start and end […]

A fun read with gods and goddesses right up until the end– groan

The Immortals by Jordanna Max Brodsky

May 8, 2021 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

Selene is an off-the-books PI who protects women in NYC. It is her sworn-duty to help those in need since she isn’t just a former police officer but also happens to be the goddess Artemis. Her powers are waning, as are the powers of most of the pantheon, but Selene pushes onward doing what she can to keep women safe. But she can’t save everyone; a woman is found murdered in Central Park. Upon further investigation into the details of the crime, Selene realizes there […]

A retelling of a classic, but are these the right secondary characters to focus on?

The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

May 8, 2021 by Mobius_Walker 1 Comment

This is the story of Achilles and his companion Patroclus. Companion here should absolutely be read in the way that we all had that one uncle in his 80s and 90s who lived with a roommate. If you remember any part of your high school English classes, you probably know the over all plot. Trojan War, fated warrior, death, destruction, etc. What Madeline Miller has done in this book is really taken a deeper dive into the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus. Which, by the way, […]

Not a bad introduction to what magic could be in your life

Kitchen Table Magic by Melissa Cynova

May 8, 2021 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

Written as an introduction to witchcraft and magic, Cynova breaks her book Kitchen Table Magic into two parts: the first is an overview of what magic is and the various parts of what witchcraft are. She gives an overview of intention, grounding, spells, divination, etc. The second half is a collection of spells and rituals for various situations. Cynova presents herself as a hard polytheist with a belief in the supernatural. PROS: While Cynova herself is a supernatural-believer she has moments where she recognizes that a lot […]

A rare case in which the TV show is better (for a time)

Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris

April 2, 2021 by Mobius_Walker 2 Comments

If you’ve seen the HBO Show True Blood, then you know the plot of Dead Until Dark. Vampires are real and everyone knows about them. Sookie Stackhouse wants to meet a vampire desperately, but she’s just a waitress at a small bar in Bon Temps, Louisiana where nothing exciting ever happens. The only thing that keeps things interesting/challenging for Sookie is that she can read minds. Other than that, her life is boring: she goes to work, she goes home to her home where she lives with […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
