Story4.5 out of 5 stars 37
Danny didn’t know what she was looking for when she and her mother spread out a map of the United States and Danny put her finger down on Tempest, California. What she finds are the Grays: a group of friends who throw around terms like queer and witch like they’re ordinary and everyday, though they feel like an earthquake to Danny. But Danny didn’t just find the Grays. They cast a spell that calls her halfway across the country, because she has something they need.

Reviewed: 07-24-19
This witchy, queer, multi-racial teen story is a lovely YA mystery. It has equal parts love, light & sexiness all overlaid on a juicily creepy plot. Perfect for curling up with in a cabin, on a stormy night in the woods!

Late Victorian London. When James Miller, the most respectable of Scottish businessmen, is pulled, dead, from the Thames, his daughter is drawn into an investigation which reveals a whole world of secrets and corruption. Alongside local detective Culley, Catriona’s search for her father’s killer leads all the way to the tragic truth behind the ghostly legend of The Darkwater Bride and the power of her deadly kiss. The Darkwater Bride combines the genres of the Victorian mystery thriller with the equally classic Victorian mode of the ghostly tale.

A Lush, Thoughtful Journey
Reviewed: 01-11-19
This is my first Kingsolver book, after being recommended to read her for years. Why did I wait? Kingsolver's storytelling is a patient feast for the foodie's book-equivalent. Chapter after chapter of thickly-lived, colorful scenes and characters. Kingsolver tricks the reader with intricate little details that are at first blush taken for an amuse bouche, but that she'll return to much later in the book, revealing that a wider, richer, and warmer circle to her meal had always been the plan. Good lord, I can't wait to read another of her books.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,101
In his newest collection of essays, David Sedaris lifts the corner of ordinary life, revealing the absurdity teeming below its surface. His world is alive with obscure desires and hidden motives, a world where forgiveness is automatic and an argument can be the highest form of love. Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is another unforgettable collection from one of the wittiest and most original writers at work today.

There is no good reason to use the N word, David.
Reviewed: 11-27-18
Not only does one of Sedaris' stories use the N word, it uses it multiple times, over and over. It doesn't matter if you are quoting someone else, there is no good reason to use it. None. He could have just as easily used "the N word" and there would be no shortage in clarity for his story to continue being told. Now, in it's audio form, Sedaris says the full word, multiple times, over and over, in a racially charged scene in his story. Again, no clarity would have been lost if he'd substituted "N word". There is nothing--NOTHING--brave or bold about using the N word when you are white. NOTHING. Regardless of the pain that word causes hundreds of thousands of people, he chose to use it anyway in print, and chose again and again to record it out loud. A decision which basically clarifies exactly for whom his stories are written: people for whom that word does not exact pain, aka white people. I feel personally betrayed as a fan of his until this moment arrived in the audio. Unconscionable. Absolutely unconscionable. Done with David.

In the house of Helios, god of the sun and mightiest of the Titans, a daughter is born. But Circe is a strange child—not powerful, like her father, nor viciously alluring like her mother. Turning to the world of mortals for companionship, she discovers that she does possess power—the power of witchcraft, which can transform rivals into monsters and menace the gods themselves.

Superb Storytelling and Narration
Reviewed: 11-06-18
I could listen to Perdita Weeks read anything. Her voice is perfect for storytelling, her cadences spot-on, her characterizations fully-formed and individually thought out.
The book itself is utterly devourable.
Can't recommend enough.
