Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas

Holy crap. Stop reading this review and just go read this book instead. Trust me. Okay, you’re still here. Fine. Yadriel wants to prove himself to his family. Prove himself as a brujo, as a capable addition to the family business, and, most importantly, as a man. Yadriel is a young, high school aged trans boy in a family of brujxs. The men are all brujos who help spirits cross over to the afterlife, and the women are brujas who heal those still living. Yadriel is […]

Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers

March 9, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

I think there’s a really great story about Dr. Grace Porter, newly minted astronomy PhD (just astronomy, nothing more specific than that) suddenly realizing that the semi-sheltered world of academia and the years she’s spent studying haven’t prepared her to deal with being an adult almost-30 human being. This story involves a cast of quirky(tm) friends (a veritable bingo card of characteristics and personalities), unresolved issues, and lots of good, honest work that takes place over time. Also I think I would kill for her […]

Adding politics to fairy tales makes everything more depressing

Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Bayron

February 15, 2021 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

This is a grim take on Cinderella. In this society, all girls (of a certain class, actual servants and peasants need not apply) must present themselves at the Royal Ball to hopefully be selected as a bride, as Cinderella was 200 years before. But this is not a happy fairy tale. Women are treated as second class citizens, or worse, and are completely controlled by their husbands. Women have no choice in their husbands – they are “claimed” at the ball by whoever wants them. […]

You should read this book even though I did not like it

An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon

February 3, 2021 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

Aster is low-deck woman on the spaceship Matilda. The citizens of Matilda are stratified across racial lines: darker people of color on the lower decks with lighter skinned citizens occupying the upper decks. As you might guess, the lower decks have increased police presence and poor living conditions. The upper decks have more freedom and significantly better quarters and living conditions. Sound familiar? The citizens of Matilda were long ago promised that they were on a journey to a new land, yet that promise seems further and further […]

A High Five For Glenn Burke by Phil Bildner

February 2, 2021 by cosbrarian 2 Comments

Sixth grader Silas Wade adores baseball, and it adores him. Center fielder for his middle-school league and the heart of the team, Silas loves to boost morale with good-natured pranks, spreading love of The Sandlot (aka the greatest movie of all time), but most importantly winning games. For his middle school biography project, Silas turns to baseball too, and knocks it out of the park with a presentation on Glenn Burke, five-tool talent of the L.A. Dodgers in the 1970s, who not only killed it […]

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 “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
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.
