I am still really enjoying this, even if I have to look up some of the characters now and then. It ends on a cliffhanger, so I hope we'll get to see more of this storyline. I'm not sure when Marvel canceled it.

Side note: why did Bast, as a goddess, choose mostly male Black Panthers?

Beautiful. Stunning. It also illustrates important parts of Harriet Tubman's life. She contained multitudes and did so many more heroic things than many of us will ever do. Someone for all to admire.

Who doesn't love Squirrel Girl, and if so, why?

It has taken me a while to review this one because I was trying to get my thoughts in order. I struggled with much of this book. I have friends that are tomboys, but maybe I had never talked to them about it or was ignorant about certain things. It was hard for me to get through the hatred for all things feminine in the early parts of this book. I never went through one of those phases when I hated the color pink; I somehow skipped right over to the hating what society wants women to be and how masculinity is the right answer. And the lack of addressing that early on made this book difficult for me, to see the author spouting that same hatred. By the end of the book, I see how she feels differently, but it was hard for me to make that journey. I am a cisgender white woman engaged to a cisgender man, so I can also recognize that this story has something to teach me, in a way that I have had privilege in not dealing with this bullying or feeling different about myself. I can see why it is so popular. I would like to pass it on to some of my tomboy friends and see how they feel.

Well clearly I should be reading more Atwood because what even is this my mind was blown. I can't imagine the work that goes into plotting something like this. The writing is gorgeous on top of that. Just wow.

Joseph is the worst.

The rest of this book is right up my alley, but if I could carve the Joseph plot out of it, oh I would.

I really like this one. I love the style: some prose, some conversations, some letters. I love reading books about the struggles of trying to fit in within two distinct cultures; in this case, the lower-class mostly African American neighborhood you came from and your rich boarding school. It helps me understand that perspective, and also reminds me of my own biases. I will order this for my library.

I enjoyed this one a lot. It deals with some tough stuff, but you feel like the narrator is going to be all right.

This made me sad that I hadn't read more of Fisher's work before. I didn't grow up watching Star Wars, so she wasn't my space princess the way she was for a lot of other kids. I encountered her in high school/college, and oh, how I hated that stupid bikini. Anyway, this is a good read about her Star Wars time. The diary entries are a little hard to listen to, but definitely sound like they were written by a 19 year old.
