“we all got thick skin, but we still gotta let people in.”

Jonny Appleseed by Joshua Whitehead

December 18, 2021 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

Jonny has to get home to the reservation he grew up on for his stepfather’s funeral. What transpires in this book is almost a near stream-of-consciousness retelling of the moments that have brought him to this moment in his life. Without a care for time or linearity, Jonny invites us into his life to show us his memories and to highlight the love he has felt for his family, his friends, and for himself.

GoAllieGo is inspiring me…to GO ON VACATION! I am running to my nearest beach, jargarita in hand (a margarita mixed in the BIGGEST mason jar), and cracking into Beach Read as soon as I am able! Thanks again, GoAllieGo! Thanks as well to the lovely faintingviolet for making this whole Book Exchange happen!

Confessions of the Fox by Jordy Rosenberg

June 10, 2021 by narfna 2 Comments

I almost feel like I’m not smart enough to review this book. Don’t get me wrong, I liked it a lot! But I just don’t think I’m up to the task of pulling it apart for meaning, which it is practically begging you to do. And yet, what I like about it is how unpretentious it is.

I ambled on over to my mailbox this afternoon and got a fun surprise from andtheIToldYouSos. I have been meaning to read Midnight Riot for ages and ages, I think it’s been on my TBR for eleven years now, so I’m really excited to finally have a copy. Confessions of the Fox I’m super intrigued about as the subject matter is extremely up my alley, and even though Hag-Seed wasn’t on my radar, I’m always interested in a Shakespeare adaptation. There is also a cute […]
