The Storyteller's Death by Ann Dávila Cardinal
Rate this book
Clear rating
An engaging and engrossing coming of age featuring a mystery awash in magical realism. This is the first adult novel by a YA author and it has that feel. For example, Isla's budding interest in Jose comes off a bit juvenile at times, more like a rela ...more

A strange and illuminating big little book; one could write a response or review debating all of the contemporary and literary concerns it addresses that is longer than the book itself. The author manages a wonderful depth of character and setting in ...more

A delightful and interesting if a bit fluffy take on recorded British history. Although it doesn't seem to be overtly specified, this book feels like it's geared for younger readers (those who are 18, or turning 18 in the near future, or who were rec ...more

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes by Anita Loos

Clear rating
A good bit of plus ca change, plus la meme fun. Lorelei's voice is bang-on if a bit tiresome after awhile, so I read it in my head in a breathy Marilyn Monroe brainy bimbo take. It's wild to think this book is 100+ years old, and truly we have not ch ...more

Period by Kate Clancy

I thought I was going to be reading a pure science book but I was wrong, and not necessarily in a bad way. This was a truly unique book that took on not just the science of periods, but the politics of periods and the structural societal issues that ...more
