This is an amazingly useful book for folx thinking about DEIAR issues. I read it as kind of professional development, and even though I’ve been working in this space for a long time, I feel like I learned a lot about both the history of DEI and some tangible action items to do better work. There are so many articles and infographics around DEI now that it’s become the topic du jour. I think a lot of companies and people are genuinely looking for ways […]

It had a few novels I had already read and enjoyed, a few that were already on my to read list, and has given me a few more novels to keep an eye out for. The Bride Test fell into the second […]

Then one day, they meet another family in need of a stroller, and that now-not-so young baby, tells them to take […]

Sanity and Tallulah are best friends and children of VIPs on board their space station home. Sanity is the smarty pants who spends her time experimenting and futzing with mechanics, usually on the sly and not quite in the realm of what her parents would allow. Tallulah is along for the ride, though she prefers gushing over their favorite […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.

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.
