Well. Well. Despite the best efforts of Ekho over at @_hex_libris, my introduction to Nnedi Okorafor’s work was not Akata Witch, though I do in fact have that book on my shelf to be read at some point in the… Read More ›
book review
The Atlantis Cipher, David Leadbeater
What’s up, my darling nerds? I have finally (finally!) read a book not only with the word “Atlantis” in the title, but actually about Atlantis!! Unbelievably, it isn’t even part of my Instagram #PPCAtlantis series which is both unfortunate and… Read More ›
Azimuth (The Rahki Chronicles Book 1), Rennie St. James
Hello hello, dear readers! What have we here? Another timely review?! I know, I know. I surprise even myself. Actually, though. I do. Azimuth is the first book in an urban fantasy series called The Rahki Chronicles. The author, Rennie… Read More ›
The Lost Art of Reading: Books and Resistance in a Troubled Time, David L. Ulin

Dead Until Dark, Charlaine Harris
Oh my god, dudes, how many years have I been meaning to read this book?! For longer than the TV show has existed, that’s how long. When did I finally get around to it? This year. 2018. Jesus. Nevertheless, I… Read More ›
The Ape That Understood the Universe: How The Mind and Culture Evolve, Steve Stewart-Williams
Let me start by saying that this book was even further out of my average reading zone than I expected. Don’t get me wrong, I chose it specifically because it was out of the realm of what I would normally… Read More ›
Bodies in a Bookshop, R.T. Campbell
Ok, first things first: reading this book should have been a delight. It was an irritation. NOT because of the story, which I quite enjoyed. Not because of the writing, which is just fine considering this was first written in… Read More ›
