The premise is simple: people love dead Jews. Dara Horn writes from her own experience as a modern Jew seeing the cycle of antisemitism start anew, possibly headed towards another Holocaust.

She details why and how dead Jews make up much of our media, why Jews are made the scapegoat and how they’ve survived.

She makes it hauntingly clear that living Jews are seen as a threat and dead Jews are a novelty to be written and read about as she takes you through American streets awash with blood all the way to the tundra of a one Jew town.

A must read for anyone who considers themselves an human rights activist.

6/5 stars.

Alright Ms. Henry, you made me a romance fan. I might even go as far as to say I like the enemy to lovers trope.


I spent the entire book wanting to smash them together, or pull a Libby and trap them in an elevator. Anything to get her in his arms.

I loved the book within a book with the bits of Dusty’s new book. I adore Charlie (how he reminds me of my spouse and a certain sky pirate helps) and how he decided what he wanted and then proceeded to change everyone’s lives.

Libby struck a bit with me being the oldest sibling with a baby brother to care for after a mother’s death. The sisterhood is definitely well written and believable.

There isn’t much spice but what’s there is mostly sweet and fluffy and cute. I definitely found myself falling for Charlie a little too.

My one complaint? I wanted just two more pages to see the proposal!!

4.75/5 (am I a Nadine for taking a bit off for the missing proposal?…)

NOPE!!

TW: child abuse, religious abuse, ableism, anti autism

As an autistic person myself, I have a low threshold for “curing” us. Religion especially pisses me off. I tried with this one but DNF’d when the mother made Hanny vomit up what little food he had gotten. Because he needed to be “prepared”.

No.
-5/5 for ableism and abusive parenting.

Just read it. There’s no real way to describe the bliss that is this book. Mosscap and Dex are adorable. This is absolutely cozy fantasy at its finest.

I devoured this book!

As a Trekkie, the idea of space travel being interconnected with other intelligent life has always been a given to me. But what if that contact is not guaranteed? What if my beloved Picard and Spock were disconnected from other “people”? This book contemplates that question.

4.5/5 stars, nipped one in half because I am annoyed by open endings.

A great book with her usual amazing writing. I just couldn't get into the story personally. No notes, no complaints. It just didn't vibe with me
