A Song of Ice and Fire

These past three months I've been making my way through these books- and finally I am free. Free in that I might have a lifelong obbsession with them- but at least I can read other things now.

Murderbot Diaries

My Platforms! They're Decaying! In anticipation of Platform Decay coming out I decided to reread all of the Murderbot Diaries- and now it's my sacred mission to convince you to read them too.

Sunny Side Up

Even though it's one of our most popular graphic novel series, I had never looked twice at the Sunny series. That was until I read a School Library Journal article about an attempt to ban it. To my surprise, this book was funny and thoughtful. It depicts a little girl, Sunny, who is sent to spend her Summer with her grandfather because her older brother at home is dealing with substance abuse problems. I found it to be an age-appropriate narrative that would be valuable for young readers.

Princess Academy

A book I'm nostalgic for was just released as a graphic novel- so I'm taking a break from my 'regularly' scheduled dragon books to talk about it.

Monstress

Sometimes a family is a traumatized one-armed girl, the fox child that won't leave her alone, a cat, and the monster inhabiting your body that yearns for human flesh. In this episode, I talk about my favorite ongoing comic series: Monstress by Marjorie Liu and Sana Takeda.
