Quintessence Book Review

June 19, 2020 ~ Kathryn Fletcher ~ 1 Comment

I have however read several REALLY amazing books lately! Quintessence is one of them! I gave it a 5 star review on Good reads, which I rarely do. Alma moved 3 months ago and has had trouble adjusting. She's been having anxiety attacks and doesn't really feel like herself. She finds a telescope and through it sees a star fall. This is not a normal star though; it looks like a girl. Alma joins an astronomy club to learn more about this. She and her new friends begin a journey of self discovery and healing like none I've ever read.

Not everyone has the privilege of being a teacher of such diverse populations, but there is no better way to learn how others think and view the world than by reading what they write. So this month I recommend that you read at least one book that is written by someone from another country or someone from a different culture than your own.

Writers of the Future Volume 33

I recently began grad school so I will likely set it aside for 2 years while I work on my MLIS. … Continue reading Writers of the Future Volume 33

I wasn't sure what this book was about when I picked it up. The cover grabbed my attention and there was a lot of hype on Instagram. I knew it was a story about some people on Mars.

Schlock Mercenary: Under New Management

October 16, 2016July 11, 2018 ~ Kathryn Fletcher ~ 2 Comments

Howard Taylor has written the Schlock Mercenary web comic for the last 16 years. He never ceases to amaze me at his ability to write a comic each day and not write himself into a corner. This book is a compilation of part of his web comic. I could have read his comic daily for … Continue reading Schlock Mercenary: Under New Management
