Heavy Vinyl by Carla Usdin

Heavy Vinyl

Heavy Vinyl is a comic book series set in New Jersey in 1998. The premise is that four teens/young women run a record store and fight crime. If that doesn’t make you stop reading this review and one-click immediately, then you are dead to me. For a few minutes, at least. The central protagonist is Chris, a new employee at Vinyl Destination. She has a crush on her coworker, Maggie, but is afraid to tell … Continue reading Heavy Vinyl by Carla Usdin

Guest Squee: The Comfortable Courtesan series by L. A. Hall

The Comfortable Courtesan

NB: We have a guest squee from Castiron, who has a series that might be of interest to many of you. It’s epistolary-esque in nature and sounds all sorts of fun.

She says of this series: The Comfortable Courtesan series is the memoir of Clorinda Cathcart, a (fictional) courtesan in Regency London who eventually moves up in the world. Originally … Continue reading Guest Squee: The Comfortable Courtesan series by L. A. Hall

Keeper Shelf: Feed by Mira Grant

Feed

I’m back with another Keeper Shelf squee! If you missed my first one, I talked about my deep love of Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen and how it tapped into my feelings about how people might view me in relation to both my own and my mother’s mental illness. While Garden Spells has magic, yummy descriptions of food, and small town gossip, we’re about to a one-eighty on this bad boy because my next … Continue reading Keeper Shelf: Feed by Mira Grant

The Cooking Gene by Michael W. Twitty

The Cooking Gene

I want to sit down with Michael W. Twitty and talk food with him for about a million hours.

He is especially interested in the evolution of slave cookery to “Southern Cooking” and how the introduction of food and techniques from Africa through the forced migration … Continue reading The Cooking Gene by Michael W.
