Team Review: The Sellout
"It's illegal to yell 'Fire!' in a crowded theater, right?" "It is." "Well, I've whispered 'Racism' in a post-racial world."
Big Little Lies
“Reading a novel was like returning to a once-beloved holiday destination.”
Review: Autumn
"He's not just one thing or another. Nobody is. Not even you." ~Ali Smith, Autumn
Artful
Books themselves take time, more time more time than most of us are used to giving them. - Ali Smith
Review: Nimona
This story isn't as simple as a classic “overthrow the king” plot. The book is more about Nimona and Blackheart’s friendship than anything else, and the characters are constantly questioning the morality of their actions.
Team Review: Station Eleven
This post-apocalyptic novel meanders through a poorly-imagined future.
Oathbringer Final Discussion

Review: All the King’s Men
Though it was written 70 years ago, it seems like this book has had a major impact on how the entertainment industry writes and produces political dramas today.
