This book was so great I immediately had a mighty need for it to be a series. I considered waiting until after I’d read the Prequel, “Down Among The Sticks And Bones”, but figured I could use the same justifications to wait until I’d read “Beneath The Sugar Sky” and …
Rahima is a girl who becomes a Bacha Posh to remedy her family’s lack of a son. She is allowed to go to school longer than her sisters, work to help support her family, and enjoy the freedoms that young men have in Afghanistan. When she’s 13, a warlord comes …
I’ve actually seen people disregarding this book BY THE TITLE ALONE. The technically incorrect grammar is actually common for Southern American vernacular, this narrative’s language. “If I Was Your Girl” actually gives the reader a glimpse of the voice before they even pull it off the shelf, which is pretty …
When The Moon Was Ours starts like a fairy tale, the story of a girl who fell from the water tower who grew roses from her wrist and fell in love with a boy who hung moons from the trees.
I want the record to show that I do not consent to the man being sworn into the highest office of my country. He has threatened Muslim, Hispanic, Black, Disabled, Poor, AFAB, and LGBT citizens. I will resist the rise of bigotry in my nation and always work toward justice …

Recently, my office changed the dress code to limit graphic tees throughout the week. This isn’t a bad thing, of course; we’re a professional office with clients who pop in all the time, so we need to look professional. Pretty important stuff. But how am I supposed to profess my …
I try not to do this and I know I do it more than I should, but I’m gonna talk about books I haven’t read. That’s right, it’s Shade time. Have you ever picked up a book that was super popular and tried to read it and found out that …
I read this Memoir, The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer, not too long ago. I loved it and I found myself emotionally attached to many of the people she’d written about. Well, one of those people had Cancer. Even in the book, she talked about the treatments and the …
I’ve said before that I’ll be doing Book Reviews but I’ve also decided I’d only do Book Reviews of books I really liked. Frankenstein was not even close, To The Lighthouse was ok and might be brought up with a feminist post later but it wasn’t a recommendation really. The …
