I picked up Moral Ambition by Rutger Bregman expecting something as thought-provoking as his previous two works. Instead I got something that felt almost like it could be featured on the If Books Could Kill podcast.

Book Review: Wearing the Lion by John Wiswell
I was really excited for this book when I read the synopsis, and I’m so glad it lived up to my expectations.
Book Review: Fifty Places to Travel with Your Dog Before You Die by Chris Santella and DC Helmuth
The great thing about that mouthful of a title is it tells you exactly what the book is about.
Book Review: Blood on Her Tongue by Johanna van Veen
his is the second book I’ve read by van Veen and I’m really enjoying her style.
Book Review: Humans by Surekha Davies
This should have been a really cool book. It’s about the history of monster-making!
Book Review: There’s Always This Year by Hanif Abdurraqib
There’s Always This Year by Hanif Abdurraqib makes basketball interesting, because it’s not so much about the sport itself as how people feel about the sport.
Book Review: Disco Witches of Fire Island by Blair Fell
Ultimately, this is a book about community — not just the gay community, but their friends and allies, and also the places where a community spends its time.
Book Review: H is for Hawk by Helen MacDonald
I knew this was a book about the author training a hawk while mourning her dad’s sudden death, so I expected a certain amount about him. What I did not expect was so much about late British author T.H. White.
Book Review: But Not Too Bold by Hache Pueyo
If you’re going to have a short book with little character development and little plot where there’s a sapphic romance between a human and an ancient spider monster-goddess, you might as well get freaky with it.
Book Review: Notes from a Regicide by Isaac Fellman
I almost chose not to use this for a book bingo square, because I didn’t want to have to figure out how to describe it.
