I loved C.S. Pacat's Captive Prince series, so I was excited to see a new series coming out. This is a classic tale of good verse evil set in London where magic has dead out. The characters are enjoyable and I'm loving the fact each character has their on goals. I am looking forward to the next book in this series.I loved C.S.

This is an eye opening book about a topic I don't think we realize is so pervasive in our modern society. The real world examples of how prejudice is written into the automation systems is so insidious and usually done unconsciously.

I don't usually read these types of books. I need a classic story structure to keep interested, so I wasn't surprised I didn't fully get invested in this book. Some of the topics Samantha Irby rambles about can be interesting at times. I feel like I would have enjoyed the audio version of this more then the book.I don't usually read these types of books.

I watched already knowing what was going to happen, but still the practical effects made my skin crawl. There wasn't too much of a compelling storyline, but the visuals made up for it. Perfect movie to watch with a group.

Had to wait a while for a sophomore record from Black kids. I found this album to have a more mature sound than their first album, Partie Traumatic. You can tell that their music has evolved and I am so glad to have another album from Black kids.

I was really surprised with how much I loved this book. Saw it on a random book list and was happy to see the library had it in circulation. The book takes its time in developing each character and the world that it is set in. Hoffman creates beautifully tragic characters and puts them into compelling situations. I can't wait to see where both the main characters end up.I was really surprised with how much I loved this book. Saw it on a random book list and was happy to see the library had it in circulation.

Read this for MAR book club and I did enjoy some of these short stories. Most stories deal with trauma that a young women goes through and how she has to continue on living after it. It can be hard to read, but the subject is sadly what a lot of women have to live through.Read this for MAR book club and I did enjoy some of these short stories.

This movie is honestly the scariest horror movie I've seen. The whole tone of the movie doesn't incorporate the classic horror movie vibe. If I didn't know what this movie was about I would have classified it as a mystery, but that quickly changes. The main character is so relatable. If its scary he runs. Perfect movie for the Spooky Season.This movie is honestly the scariest horror movie I've seen. The whole tone of the movie doesn't incorporate the classic horror movie vibe.

I finally read this sci-fi classic and the overachieving take away I had was how close that world is to our own. I was surprised to see how many scary parallels this story had to our current world and then after some research on the story I found that the current 90s political and racial landscape was Octavia E. Butler's inspiration for The Parable of the Sower. She wanted to focus on the world she lived in and how she saw it's possible acceleration in the future. This is a fascinating story of a future I hope we never encounter.I finally read this sci-fi classic and the overachieving take away I had was how close that world is to our own.

My very first, but not last, book from Octavia E. Butler. From the perspective of Lilith Iyapo, the reader gets a fresh view point of how humans would interact with an alien race. With Lilith having lived as a black woman in a metropolis area, her experiences from that time help her understand certain aspects about humans that this alien races wouldn't grasp. This book is a lot more than your mainstream science fiction.My very first, but not last, book from Octavia E. Butler.
