Davis lecturing and marching.

Be the Light: How She Became Angela Davis by Daria Peoples

August 20, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Do you know who Angela Davis is? If you do, you are one up on me. I had never heard of them, or if I had it was just a footnote in history. And to be honest, Davis deserves to be more than a footnote. She needs her own thousand paged book. Instead I must settle for the clever picture book (currently available but read on line) Be the Light: How She Became Angela Davis written and illustrated by Daria Peoples. Davis was born in […]

A Woman’s Work etc.

A Woman’s Place: The Inventors, Rumrunners, Lawbreakers, Scientists & Single Moms who Changed the World with Food by Deepi Ahluwalia, Stef Ferrari, Jessica Olah

August 20, 2025 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 8: Work A Woman’s Place: The Inventors, Rumrunners, Lawbreakers, Scientists & Single Moms who Changed the World with Food is basically a short illustrated encyclopedia of women who influenced the food world. The overall thesis is that their intellectual, physical, and cultural work across centuries and places has gone under-acknowledged. These women in different ways had to work to take care of themselves, their families, and communities, and in the process came up with things ranging from Camembert cheese to dishwashers to famous cookbooks […]

Crystals: The Modern Guide to Crystal Healing by Yulia Van Doren

Crystals: The Modern Guide to Crystal Healing by Yulia Van Doren

August 17, 2025 by Classic Leave a Comment

So one of my friends got me this book and also a bird watching book along with a gardening book that I am really enjoying. I should be able to post about those soonish once I get this done. Anyway, my one friend is really into crystals, growing plants to dry so she can make teas and other things with them along with growing tons of food/plants to make meals with. When I was a kid I loved crystals, but didn’t really get a chance […]

“The perfect pass…is the simple part. The living with what it takes…is the mystery.”

American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback by Seth Wickersham

August 16, 2025 by Halbs Leave a Comment

I became a fan of Seth Wickersham’s sports writing after reading his definitive book on the New England Patriots dynasty, It’s Better to Be Feared. My attention span wasn’t the best during the COVID times, but I simply could not put that book down when it came out in 2021. I’ll bet I read all 528 pages in two or three sittings. So, of course, I was excited when Wickersham announced American Kings, an in-depth exploration into the world of the quarterback. The book is the […]

We’re Traveling, We’re Traveling—Off the Page and Down the Rabbit Hole

Conspiracy Nation: Exposing the dangerous world of Australian conspiracy theories by Ariel Bogle; Cam Wilson

August 14, 2025 by LittlePlat 3 Comments

I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while. Cookers, sovereign citizens and conspiracy theorists can be a fascinating bunch, albeit in the same way a train wreck is fascinating. Yes, it can be very amusing to watch them try and ‘pseudo law’ their way out of trouble when they caught doing something very stupid, but there’s often something darker lying under the surface. For every giggle you get from listing to some SovCit proclaim ‘I’m traveling, I’m traveling!’ after being pulled over by […]

New Thoughts About Narnia

Aslan's Breath: Seeing the Holy Spirit in Narnia by Matthew Dickerson

August 14, 2025 by The Chancellor Leave a Comment

Aslan’s Breath: Seeing the Holy Spirit in Narnia by Matthew Dickerson My rating: 4 of 5 stars I grew up on The Chronicles of Narnia; they were my gateway to fantasy literature. Growing in a Christian community where there was some stigma about fantasy, but Narnia passed muster with its over themes of love and good vs. evil. As I grew up, I moved on to more “adult” fantasy such as Lord of the Rings, but still was interested in literary criticism about Narnia. That […]
