As with your big friendships, this unforgettable book is one you will want to keep close.” - Roxane Gay, author of Hunger and Bad Feminist This is the kind of book that makes you want to reach out to your best, biggest friends to say thank you, thank you, thank you for walking in this world with me. In each chapter, Sow and Friedman demonstrate how they navigate the nuances of their long-standing friendship with elegance, warmth, and generosity. Aminatou Sow and Ann Friedman offer a deeply compelling book that is part clear-eyed and poignant memoir of a big, invaluable friendship and part frank manifesto on how to nurture the important friendships in our lives in good times and bad. “In a culture that primarily values romantic or familial relationships, Big Friendship: How We Keep Each Other Close is a necessary corrective. “A soul-searching reflection that delivers an emotional journey.” -Kirkus Reviews ![]() A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice.Ī “thoughtful and highly readable story.” - The New York Times Book Review ![]() Named one of the most anticipated books of 2020 by Vogue, Elle, People, Yahoo, and Bitch. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments The jade war![]() ![]() That said, anything from the first two books, Jade City and Jade War, is on the table for discussion, so if you haven’t read those books you may want to get on that. This review will be spoiler-free aside from some basic premise stuff, like the fact that this novel is spread out over the course of decades. It’s been quite a journey, and while I’m sad to see it end, Jade Legacyfeels like the perfect capstone to the trilogy. Fonda Lee’s tale of magic, family, and clan loyalty is the very definition of enthralling, from its first page to its last. This is especially true for a series as good as The Green Bone Saga. Leaving behind a world that has made a home in your imagination can be difficult saying goodbye to characters who’ve come to feel like old friends, even more so. ![]() ![]() It’s often a bittersweet thing to read the ending of a series. ![]() 5/13/2023 0 Comments Tender is the flesh read![]() An unrelentingly dark and disquieting look at the way societies conform to committing atrocities.” - Kirkus Reviews "Propulsive and deranged, Tender Is the Flesh is a weird and quick read that strays far enough from our current reality to be utterly engrossing. ![]() ![]() PRAISE FOR TENDER IS THE FLESH BY AGUSTINA BAZTERRICA WINNER OF ARGENTINA’S CLARÍN NOVELA PRIZE 2017 “From the first words of the Argentine novelist Agustina Bazterrica’s second novel, “Tender Is the Flesh,” the reader is already the livestock in the line, reeling, primordially aware that this book is a butcher’s block, and nothing that happens next is going to be pretty.” - New York Times Book Review "The novel is horrific, yes, but fascinatingly provocative (and Orwellian) in the way it exposes the lengths society will go to deform language and avoid moral truths." - Taylor Antrim, Vogue “Taut and thought-provoking.a chilling and alarmingly prophetic book.this is an urgent cautionary tale.timely, crucial.” - Words Without Borders "A ruthlessly clever, Orwellian satire of our dog-eat-dog, er, man-eat-man modern world." - NJ.com “It is a testament to Bazterrica’s skill that such a bleak book can also be a page-turner. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's a little much don't you think and goes against the idea of having kids think critically about how we behave as a species. Right, of course we would have the biggest brains in the universe. We haven't properly harnessed it yet, but when we do we may inflict our 'plague' of dissension across the entire peaceful league of alien worlds. Most damning of all, however, is the fact that we have the most stupendous brain capacity in the universe. We are aggressive, treat our planet shamefully, and have not as a species solved world hunger, poverty, etc. Very little really happens as this book is just a necessary stopgap to get the three main characters of Susan Simmons, Duncan Dougall and Peter Thompson (given the incredibly stupid name of 'Krepta, Child of the Stars') together for the Main Event.īecause, despite the great advances of the aliens, they are frightened of humanity. Coville uses this book to mostly introduce a series of wacky alien species and inventions, hang some lampshades, and set up the comparatively "heavy" book to follow. ![]() We also get to hear from Peter Thompson and just what he was up to in the five months between his running off with Broxholm at the end of 'My Teacher is an Alien' and when he showed up at the end of 'My Teacher Fried My Brains'. In the third book of the series we finally get to the bottom of where the aliens come from and why they were on Earth infiltrating a middle class American school system. ![]() |
