Year in Review: 2017

December 25, 2017 by motifink

2017 was a year to be reckon with. Beyond the obvious, political environment, on a personal level, on all levels, this year was one that I would prefer to use as a learning lesson. So, just as warning, this will be a long post. BOOKS, BOOKS & MORE BOOKS I reached my Goodreads goal of 200 books this year :D Super excited about that because not only did I not reach it last year but I hit constant book walls […]

Impatiently Waiting For: The Sea Beast Takes a Lover: Stories by Michael Andreasen

September 21, 2017 by motifink

Bewitching and playful, with its feet only slightly tethered to the world we know, The Sea Beast Takes a Lover explores hope, love, and loss across a series of surreal landscapes and wild metamorphoses. Just because Jenny was born without a head doesn’t mean she isn’t still annoying to her older brother, and just because the Man of the Future’s carefully planned extramarital affair ends in alien abduction and network fame doesn’t mean he can’t still pine for his absent wife. Romping […]

Impatiently Waiting For: I Swear I’ll Make It Up to You by Mishka Shubaly

February 8, 2016 by motifink

I Swear I’ll Make It Up to You is Mishka Shubaly’s apology for choices he wasn’t sure he’d live long enough to regret. It is a story of drinking, women, punk rock, and a journey so far down the low road that it took Shubaly years of running to come back. A misfit kid in the best of times, Shubaly had his world shattered when, in a 24-hour span in 1992, he survived a mass shooting on his school’s campus, […]

There are a few #blacklivesmatter books currently being published or are already on shelves. What makes this book different is it highlights vulnerability of #blackboys Shoot, just look at the cover. It gorgeous but it speaks on several different volumes. It is #powerful There is emotion in his stare as well as a softness.
