I’ve been a big Brittlestar fan for years and jumped at the chance to read this.

It is what the title says it is - a guide to resisting fascism by seeing it through the psyche of a cat. A quick and funny but valuable read. My only complaint is that the text gets a bit repetitive at times

If you’re looking for something longer and more in-depth, check out his other book “Welcome to the Stupidpocalypse”.

Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the opportunity to read and review.

What can I say about George Takei? On top of his many talents and professions in life should be storyteller. He has yet again excelled into turning his personal story into one everyone would benefit from reading.

I found “They Called Us Enemy” a captivating book and “It Rhymes With Takei” is no different. It explores George’s life from his childhood realization of his orientation to the current day illustrated by the difficulties he faced being closeted while leading a very public life as an actor, political advocate and activist until he decided to publicly come out and embrace his full self at age 68.

It is an absolutely worthwhile read written by one of the better humans on this Earth.

My gratitude to NetGalley, IDW Publishing and Top Shelf Productions for the opportunity to read and review.

Jose Andres deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. No one can argue against that because you would be arguing against feeding people.

Andres was lucky to figure out early in life that feeding people was his mission. In the past decade, he has exponentially expanded his mission to feed millions in the face of war and natural disaster.

“Change the Recipe” is a collection of the lessons he has learned along the way and how to implement them into your own life. I especially enjoyed the insights into his younger days.

I would recommend this book for upcoming graduates or anyone looking to find purpose in their lives. A grand initial gesture is never needed to change the world. Start small, start local and it will grow and flourish from there.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ecco for the opportunity to read and review.

A mystery starring the Golden Girls? Who wouldn’t want to read that?

It’s not the best mystery you’ll ever read but it’s fun being able to picture so much of the story so easily. This would’ve made a great TV movie back in the day.

I loved it being centered around Rose to get a deeper look into the strange world of St. Olaf.

Worth picking up if you love the Girls and/or a breezy mystery.

Thank you to NetGalley and Hyperion Avenue for the opportunity to read and review.
