Super quick read and really funny and sweet

I am not a big sci fi reader, and tend to prefer my fiction realistic, but I really, REALLY enjoyed this. Much of the setting--and the gender issues--are so fully and realistically portrayed that it was a perfect cross-over book for me. I thoroughly enjoyed how it made me think, but at the same time I was engaged with the characters.

Great mystery set in England by the Sea. The forensic archaeologist , Ruth Galloway investigates bones that surfaced on a remote Norfolk Beach after WW 2. A nasty secret evolves that took place during the War which leads to the death of two more people. Ruth and DCI Harry Nelson investigate and help solve the case.

It was pretty strange listening to this YA title from the DC Icons series the same week as I was watching season 2 of The Handmaid's Tale! This is a narrative adaptation of Black Canary's origin story. Dinah Lance is the daughter of the original Black Canary, living in a Gotham City controlled by the Court of Owls. Females are banned from holding certain jobs and wearing unauthorized clothing. Their singing voices have been chemically silenced. Do you ever have strange, unplanned convergences like this? I will suggest this to teen readers who enjoy reading or viewing the Netflix movie of Moxie.

Just amazing insights, the perfect amount of philosophy balanced with humor.

Just as it appears that our protagonist and her would be devour-er reach an understanding the situation is further complicated by the revelation that one of their classmates is a protective deity determined to protect out of guilt for letting the tragedy that took her whole family. The whole affair is presented gothic soap opera reminiscent of Dark Shadows. While you never forget that the story is set in japan; it has a real sense of place, and the mythology is ever present, but it could easily be adapted to be set anywhere coastal with a rich folklore to draw from. The translation seems clean and efficient and the delicate lifework of the art is beautiful , even when the subject mater is horrific.

Heartwarming and funny, A Song Called Home will take you into the life of Lou, as she goes on a journey of self discovery.
