Comics
FCBD Minecraft and Incredibles 2- The Incredibles
story is the better of the two.

grabbing. Nice use of Faberge eggs
though.

I, Holmes – meh
FCBD Our Favorite Thing is Monsters- really good
memoir edition here.

about the Dene people in Canada.

up in Poland during the Communist era.
Memoir.

respects women. Really a diverse cast too.
Children’s
Homer for the Holidays, Letter to a Young Pug by
Nancy Levine – cute little books about Pugs and the Tao.
The Tao of Pug – cute.
Rory: An Orca’s Quest for the Northern Lights – a bit
too cute, but nice fact sheet at the end of the book.
Song of the Redwing - The illustrations for this book are beautiful.

for using grandparents instead of parents.
Yara and Purr – another good installment in the children’s
series.
Nonfiction
Lions of Big Cat Rescue by Carole Bashkin – published
in 2007, so some of the animals are gone, but still a good read if you like big
cats.
Lifted from the Trash Heaps by Samuel Colman – family
history
Revenge of the Real: Politics for the Post Pandemic World
- a little dated, very general
statements

loss in privilege and overburdened writing
Silk and Steel – History of women and firearms.
The Splendid and the Vile – Yup, it was as good as
people said.
Abused, Confused, Misused Words – good book for a
writer or a student.
Feminist
Tomorrow Sex Will
Be Good Again - interesting
discussion about sex, pleasure, and consent.
Folklore
Ghosts of Alexandria - packed full of history.
Cookbooks
Harry Potter Cocktail Book, Unofficial Harry Potter
Cookbook, A Feast for Odin – I read these so you don’t have to.

in terms of recipes.

author of this read the Great Gatsby, to be honest.

writing is awful.

entry in the Great Course series.

cast.

Fiction
Divorcing by Susan Taubes – very strange, but something you should read.
Yearning for the Sea – this short novella about
Penelope is very good.
The Tusk that Did the Damage – the writing is great,
but I found it different to care about any of the characters
The Wandering Unicorn – well written but falls into
that one only good woman trap.
Family Lexicon – part memoir, part fiction, good
introduction to Italian fiction.

she was young. Nicely done.
