James Baldwin books entered my life three years ago. I was in the bookstore searching for new reads and spied a copy of The Fire Next Time. Immediately intrigued, I browsed through its contents. What did this small book have to offer? Quite a lot! Raw honestly about a modern world suffering from intolerance. Sharing

Welcome to another edition of Pass/Fail, where I take on the question of how well a comic/graphic novel is adapted for either large or small screen. I’m not reviewing adaptations here (though opinion does sneak in from time to time); what I am doing is looking at how well either the spirit of the original property is explored or how well the writers/producers/actors/etc. literally

Support for reading your books is a game changer, whether by helping you read longer or as an assistive device for readers who have chronic pain or injuries that make holding a book upright a challenge. Wooden book stands are among my favorite styles of reading support, and there are so many excellent choices out

On this day 154 years ago, the world gave us Beatrix Potter, who in turn gave the world The Tales of Peter Rabbit in 1901.

There are nowhere near enough books with pansexual main characters. Pansexual individuals are capable of experiencing sexual attraction to people of any gender, and they are a vital part of the queer community. Pansexual people deserve to see themselves represented much more often than they historically have been. Without representation, it can be much harder

When I was bored one day at work, I decided to open a spreadsheet and record my favorite authors and their zodiac signs. It was the kind of mindless task that helped pass the hours of drudge that could be my working day. I know very little about the intricacies of astrology, and check my

In my time as a teenager, stage manager, and now librarian I’ve seen various plays and musicals that dominated the minds and shelves of young adults. Often sharing fandom space with kids who were already passionate readers, these theatrical works have become known not just as performances, but have also had their cast recordings downloaded,

Data visualization communicates the relationships of data through graphs, charts, and other visual mediums. It’s the difference between hundreds of rows on a spreadsheet and a concise graph with a key and color coating. Being an ever-increasing driving force behind business decisions, it’s important that data is accessible and understandable to people who might not
