The All-Tower Tarot Deck, 2020
During the spring and summer of 2020, when my household was making and distributing hand-sewn face masks, I got a gift package from a faraway friend who was doing the same. She sent us pins that said “Mask Maker 2020” and a custom Tarot deck she had stamped herself.
Every single card in this deck was the Lightning-Struck Tower. How convenient!
I had stuff to say about 2020, but it’s too soon. It’s a

The production of this book is almost too much, in the best way. Lavish. Inclusion of challah in Jacob's business proposal seems to confirm that he is also Jewish. Tina's ID card has her fingerprints, Dextera and Sinistra! There are wallpaper swatche

| The book was compelling with mostly very kind characters and not as much tragedy, violence, or betrayal as I was dreading (considering the subject matter and the era). I'm glad I finally read it, once I had the time and attention span to devote to a ...more | |

| So exquisite and daringly researched that it was very nearly too much. A rare book. Triumphant on a scale I've rarely seen. It could have been a tenth as good and still been worth reading. Got the big moments and the intricacies right. The painful As ...more | |

| Just as darkly irresistible as I wanted it to be. This author sure puts Father Reynaud through a lot! But she takes care of her characters. | |

| Frightening, sweetly poisonous, utterly irresistible. I enjoyed the magic of this book. There were a couple of discordant notes -- the fat-shaming around one character, for instance -- but I loved the story so much that I longed to get back to the bo ...more | |

| Idiosyncratic and charming. The voice of this old Swedish lady came through clearly and that was the treasure of this book. It's not a workbook. There are other workbooks about decluttering to help with the tasks themselves. It was just a good way to ...more | |
“It is no wonder that Snape is feeling the strain of being the only one who can help Draco, the only one who can fight some forms of Dark Magic, the only one who can retain Voldemort’s trust while taking his place at Dumbledore’s right hand. In some ways, it’s a bit similar to being the Chosen One, although Harry gets credit for his sacrifices and the blessing of a clean conscience. Snape’s job depends upon his guilty past and upon the secrecy that ensures his sacrifices will never be seen.”

“Look at me. With those words, Rowling completes the incantation for the stupendous magic she has cast over seven books with her creation of Severus Snape. Everything about Snape is contained in those three words. The spy who longed for nothing more than to be seen. The double agent who killed the mentor who was the last person to see his true self. The ugly boy who grew up into a man so ugly that students couldn’t look upon him without revulsion. The master of Occlumency who was sealed shut so tightly, his eyes looked dead. The Master of Death who didn’t need a cloak to be invisible, completing his second chance at life, removing his disguise and meeting Death as a friend.”

“Draco cast Expelliarmus. He could have, should have, attacked, but he disarmed, instead, and then attacked no further. The effort Snape has poured into this boy for the past six years has been worth it. He will not split his soul by killing. Covertly, against the efforts of Lucius, Bellatrix, and Voldemort, Snape has taught Draco non-aggression. He has fulfilled two of his three vows to Narcissa: he has watched over Draco and protected him from harm.”
