Hank, Fame, And April May

An Absolutely Remarkable thing is not a 12/12 book. April May is a jerk with no discernible character arc. The plot is just a journey down a spiral that asks more questions than it answers.  But I love this book more than I love myself. I love this book more than any other book except

Crap

It’s Thursday again, and I’m honestly not sure what to say. For the past few nights, I’ve been thinking out posts in support of the trans community, but as it’s such an important topic, and I need more time to actually write it out than just lie down and think as usual.  Then there’s halloween.

Depressive Reading

I’ve been reading. Good books, too. I finished Ivy Aberdeen in a day yesterday. A great gay book. I haven’t read MG in a while, so I was pleased that I didn’t get bored. I stopped reading Boxcar children and Animorphs ages ago, because although I loved them, the language style was too dull for

Too Tired To Read

V.E. Schwab is going to sign copies of Vengeful at Books Inc Berkeley in a few hours. I’m a BART ride away, but I won’t be going. My go-to friend with a driver’s licence is working tonight. I’m too tired to enjoy the experience. And though I remember loving Vicious, I don’t remember much of

May Ends/June begins

Yay. Summer. I hate summer. The heat. Like, why the heat?  So here’s the tally of what I read in May: There’s been a lot of Sherlove last month, despite   Sherlock Holmes Day not having a strong presence.I read The Return Of Sherlock Holmes , finally completing the entire Sherlock Holmes collection. I was mildly disappointed by CAM’s story,

Black Panther, As Seen By An Oaklandish White Girl

Good, but not always great. When great, not always wonderful. Sometimes wonderful. Black Panther can be analyzed in several different ways, and receive different scores for each: Characters: heroes 12/12 There is a plethora of heroes to choose from. Black Panther himself, a good man who proves to be a good king. Shuri, a warrior
