Update: I’ve been using the Smashbomb site for several months now, and I still really like it! They’ve added a few new categories (my favorite being tabletop games!) and they continue to expand their database. I try to cross post all my reviews there, but since there’s no automated way to cross post from WordPress … Continue reading
Book Review: The Courier
The Courier Gerald Brandt Dystopia/Sci-fi 297 pages Published 2016 Oh this was good.

Book Review: Radio Silence
Radio Silence Alice Oseman YA coming-of-age GLBT 474 pages Published 2017 Representation MATTERS. Don’t let anyone tell you different. The two main characters in this book are GLBT – and asexual, which is a rarely-seen demographic. One of them is a WOC! And that’s IMPORTANT. We need representation of minorities in books, movies, TV, media … Continue reading
