I took my 8-year-old daughter for a haircut,” journalist Maram Humaid wrote in October 2024 for Aljazeera, recounting her first year reporting the war on Gaza. Visiting with Najla the hairdresser, Humaid is moved by her generosity in sharing stories … Read more

Reader Reviews: The Trees

I absolutely devoured “The Trees” and still wanted more. I think fans of Jordan Peele’s “Us” will love this exploration of race and reparations by Percival Everett. I loved how he wrote each character, flipping race stereotypes on their head and being unrelenting in his writing of unlikable characters. The chapters were short and fast, … Read more

George has a special quality to his dreams that alters timelines to make whatever he … Read more

Spooky, Not Scary™ Watch-list: Volume Oh, the Fourror!

Many mwahaha tidings of toned-down terror to all of my fellow whimsigoths, baby bats and self-proclaimed scaredy cats! While society at large might be turning the calendar page on spooky season this upcoming weekend, we true believers know it is always Halloween in our souls. Which means it is (always) time for another … Read more

Reader Reviews: The Once and Future Witches

The book “The Once and Future Witches” takes place during the 19th century women’s suffrage movement but adds a fantasy element of witchcraft. The world building and character development were great! I enjoyed the overall story and inclusive characters. I think there are story elements that could trigger strong emotional reactions (i.e., violence, abuse, suggested … Read more
