A colony of moss does not speak or think in language. But if such a colony could tell the story of its life, it might say this: Once, we flourished. Our capsules popped and our spores spread far and wide. We drank what we needed from the rain and stored the rest in our spongy … Continue reading Bog Queen | Anna North| This Reading Life

I really wanted to like this one. I’ve enjoyed Sherry Thomas’ romances, but this was the exact opposite of steamy. Neither the romances nor the mystery worked for me, though it might for others. Set in Austin, the book revolves around four people working in a library. Jonathan is a former football player who’s in…Read more →| The Book Stop

This should be a fascinating look at how streaming services evolved and the outsized impact they've had on our culture. Instead it is mostly a series of re-written press-releases and recycled analysis from other people. Sadly, the book never dives in to the pre-history of streaming. There's a brief mention of RealPlayer - but nothing about the early experiments of livestreaming gigs and TV…| Terence Eden’s Blog
This book is ridiculously zeitgeisty. It's all brain-rotting AI, social-media meltdowns, mixed with some cracking technobabble. She thinks about erasing more: all the practice session recordings; her own encrypted cephaloscripts; the dream-guide neuromesh of her personal AI; the interviews, fan messages, reviews—food for her vanity, training data for her egolets. Fab! But, for all that, it's p…| Terence Eden’s Blog

Weird climate fiction descends into horror in Argentinian author Michel Nieva's 2023 novel Dengue Boy, translated from Spanish by Rahul Bery.

It's funny how sometimes there's kind of a "thing" in middle grade literature. This week, I read two different books that were published in the same week and both were about kids who were dealing with a missing mom. It's fairly often that children are left to their own devices, particularly in middle grade literature-think James and the Giant Peach, Harry Potter, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, to name a few, so it's not really surprising to find missing parents, but these two books...| The Book Search
