Symptoms of Being Human, Take 2
Symptoms of Being Human, Jeff Garvin Balzer + Bray (HarperCollins), February 2016 Reviewed from final e-book Despite the title, this is probably more like take 4. This is somehow a hard review to write. I keep slipping away from the book itself and into all the things that surround this book: the importance of representation […]
Fanfare, YALSA, Times, Oh My!
What a busy week it’s been! Monday brought us the release of Horn Book’s Fanfare AND The New York Times’ Notable Children’s Books list.

Sex & Violence
Sex & Violence, Carrie Mesrobian Carolrhoda LAB, October 2013 Reviewed from ARC Time for a true confession: of the five 2014 Morris Award nominated titles, I’ve read only one. All of the books had been on my to-read list before becoming Morris finalists, but we all know what happens with to-read lists and then you’ve […]

Today we had not one but two great lists (I’d like to say “that go great together,” but actually there is zero overlap). First, the morning greeted me with the Morris shortlist, which I wasn’t expecting until Monday, and settled the pesky question of whether Seraphina counts as a debut. (It does, clearly, since it […]
