Everyone knows a guy like Jared: the burnout kid in high school who sells weed cookies and has a scary …
In her most exuberant, most fanciful novel, Woolf has created a character liberated from the …
Weirdly, I thought this book would be gayer. It took a really really long time to get to the exciting part: the gender change. I'm trying to read all of Woolf's works, and I am glad I read this one. Still... I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be.
Join Greta and Minette once more for the heartwarming conclusion of the award-winning Tea Dragon …
I am so sad the adventure is over. I loved the conclusion to this heart-warming series. It was so nice to see the characters grow and change over time, with and without their dragons. UGH WHY IS IT OVER
Abigail Friedman was an American diplomat in Tokyo, not a writer. A chance encounter leads …
I wasn't sold on the author's breezy, personal writing style at first but her journey really pulled me in! I've read this and her translation of Momoko Kuroda's work, and she's won me over.
I really enjoyed this. It was a thoughtful meditation on excellence and mastery in one's profession.
A sad read! This poor guy, oh my gods.
I enjoyed being exposed to stories I didn't know. I found the language too lush and poetic at times, if that can be said of a poem! Still, I enjoyed the adventure.
Another stellar anthology from Smut Peddler.
I wasn't very familiar with Ram Dass before reading this. For my brother's sake, I'm glad I read it, but some of Dass's comments seem just plain wrong (becoming so spiritually advanced that you don't have to eat anymore and can just subsist on light?!). I most enjoyed reading about Dass's journey into spirituality. The alternative living tips at the end didn't interest me so much. Oh, and the art was wonderful!
A wonderfully creative and whimsical book, the biography of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's cocker spaniel. After …
A light return to Woolf after 10+ years away.
It’s been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; …
Wow! Now I want to be a tea monk, biking thru villages, bringing tea and succor to upset villagers. This book was a very charming, comforting read (as Becky Chambers's stories so often are!). This might be one of my favourite new reads of the year.
I look forward to Book 2!
While on holiday in Toronto, Evie Whitmore planned to sightsee and meet other asexuals, not …
A funny romance! It was nice to read something not SFF.
Elegant, passionate, and filled with the love of God's creation, Abraham Joshua Heschel's The Sabbath has been hailed as a …
In the rush of modern life, we tend to lose touch with the peace that …
This was a nice quiet read. I actually wish it were more in-depth about Buddhist practices specifically so maybe I should've chosen a different Hanh book to start with.
