With her peerless ability to give us the essence of a life in often brief …
I enjoyed this collection of short stories, but they did not quite hit the high notes of much of her previous work.
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission--and if he fails, humanity …
I enjoyed this work quite a bit. The only criticism I have is that at some point in the novel you reach crisis fatigue. Yes, piloting a starship based on technology that's been developed in the past year or so is going to present some issues, but it sometimes feels like it's unrelenting.
I am your maid. I know about your secrets. Your dirty laundry. But what do you know about me?
Molly …
The first science fiction written by a black woman, Kindred has become a cornerstone of black American literature. This combination …
At the age of thirty-six, on the verge of completing a decade’s worth of training as a neurosurgeon, Paul Kalanithi …
You’ll ride shotgun with Dave for one crazy week, beginning with an impenetrable vault in …
It was entertaining and interesting. I wish the photographs of the safes were better - it's hard to make out a lot of details.
I also would have enjoyed a few diagrams - he'll be going into detail about some component of the safe and you'll be "what is he talking about". There's kind of an expectation that the reader has more than a passing familiarity with what he's talking about.
Told in vivid graphic novel form by a groundbreaking Eisner-nominated comics creator, the long-overdue biography …
Pretty decent overview of an epic life spanning over six decades in the comic industry. Yes, it's told from one point of view, but battle lines are clearly drawn between those in the industry to make a quick buck and those who see it as a modern art form.
Great illustrations and good (if not a little choppy) storytelling.
Definitely worth reading if you're a comic fan.
Brit Bennett’s chart topping novel, The Vanishing Half, is a story that tracks the lives of twin African American twin …
In this epic, beautifully written masterwork, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Isabel Wilkerson chronicles one of the great untold stories of American …
Amazing book about our relationship with plant medicines. Gives you a completely different perspective.
A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.
France, 1714: in …
Better than it had to be. Good book that uses a woman's personal story as the history of women writ large. A woman literally makes a Faustian deal for freedom but cannot be remembered or leave any sort sign that she lived her life.
It really brings home the idea that historically - and to this day - women strive for recognition and to leave independent lives.
Hidden in the depths of eighteenth-century London, a secret apothecary shop caters to an unusual …
Interesting book that illustrates the parallels of a modern day woman's choices and that of an older woman living in 18th Century London. Well written and researched, it is a mix of self-discovery and historical fiction.
Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails …
Extremely illuminating work on America's history of racism and why it's literally the reason we cannot have nice things like universal healthcare, clean water, good schools, and so on.
I've always thought that I was well-informed on matters such as race and class in America. It turns out I was ignorant. This book is definitely a must-read.
