knizer commented on The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty
Amina al-Sirafi should be content. After a storied and scandalous career as one of the …
12th Century Indian Ocean historical fiction with a female protagonist pirate captain, queer characters, demons and sea monsters, swordfighting, and dry humor - its a romp! If the planned trilogy happens, and this takes off, I see film potential in this story.
knizer stopped reading A people's history of the new Boston by Jim Vrabel
Well researched, can be dry, I dipped in and out of various chapters.

Recommend especially for folks active in the boston area housing/environmental organizing scene.

My folks are still around and I hoped this might offer some practical tips towards discussing end of life plans with them. Rather, a no punches pulled snapshot of the authors labor caring for her aged parents. Very useful but not in the way I expected, expect some feelings if you give it a go.
