These questions are large and complex and cannot easily be answered, but I loved that Isaacson, like Ishiguro, asks us to address and think about these questions. It seems that many can agree that there is a possibility for gene editing to be used for the good of humanity, but where should we draw the line? Continue reading
It is hard to explain what drew me to Rachel Yoder’s novel – the title, the cover, or the promise of transformation? It is possibly a bit of all three.

NOTE: This novel was sent to me for review purposes. All opinions are my own.

As I write this review, International Women’s Day is approaching – March 8th – and I have been thinking a lot about what it means to be a woman today. There is so much happening in the world that I don’t even have the full capacity to comprehend it all without feeling like I am … Continue reading
Emma Marris’ book Wild Souls was an easy read for me at the beginning of 2022. I saw it in the nonfiction section at my local book store and I was intrigued by the cover. I have been reading a lot of books about nature, the wild, conservation, and human relationships with the non-human world. … Continue reading
It has been a while since I wrote any reviews or posted articles here. It has been a rough couple of months, I am not going to lie. I haven’t been reading as much as I normally would, which makes running a book blog complicated, to say the least. If you want to follow my … Continue reading
