| As horror books go.... this is pretty horrific. The unsettling, supernatural parts may be the least upsetting sections, compared to the mundane racism and sexism that Cora experiences. There's also a series of gruesome murders. And the existential dr ...more | |

A beautifully written First Contact story. When researchers at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico pick up singing from an extra-terrestrial society, the governments of Earth are divided on what to do. But the Jesuit order does what it's always don ...more |

| Parts of this book read like a white person who just learned that racism exists. Does Brooks mean well? Yeah, of course she does. But the 2019 sections are more parable about black-white relationships than believable portrayal of full-blooded people. ...more | |

My main take-away: -ploice (and surveillance companies) already wanted body cameras before the murder of Mike Brown and activists calling for the cameras for accountability. Body cameras may occasionally reveal police brutality, but their main effect ...more |

Amazing prose, and characters feel real. There's so much suffering and heartbreak in this novel about grinding, day-to-day poverty. But also moments of joy and tenderness that also moved me to tears. I have never read The Grapes of Wrath, and I don't ...more |

“Flog them, hang them, drown them like rats. It won’t change the facts: we are the ones who poured our sweat and souls into your looms. We have rights to expect a little loyalty.”
― The Factory Witches of Lowell

“We were crushed’ said Judith; ‘for lack of resolution more than lack of numbers. A strike is nothing if a worker may pledge herself to it today and return to the factory
tomorrow. So we gather here; tonight, to unite and entwine our fate.”
― The Factory Witches of Lowell

“All magic is mastery and command, isn't it? You have to have a claim to something before you can cast spells over it, even your own self.”

“Australians were very practical, Emily had found. They did things quickly and purposefully and to the absolute minimum standard required. It was refreshing and guenuine but sometimes led to situations like building a town around a hole.”

“I'm scared, Mom." ... "It's okay, honey. It's all right. That's the big secret, don't you know? Everyone is. All the time.”

“When I run the world, librarians will be exempt from tragedy. Even their smaller sorrows will last only for as long as you can take out a book.”

“The happening and telling are very different things. This doesn’t mean that the story isn’t true,
only that I honestly don’t know anymore if I really remember it or only remember how to tell it. Language does this to our memories, simplifies, solidifies, codifies, mummifies. An off-told story is like a photograph in a family album. Eventually it replaces the moment it was meant to capture.”
