Jewish students participating in pro-Palestine protests on their campuses would have valuable things to say about the alleged "rising antisemitism" at their schools. But the media is ignoring them.

Umbrella is a beautiful and poetic picture book about empathy and community. As young Clara is bored in the park, with no friend to play with, she finds an old and abandoned umbrella. Little does she imagine that it is everything, but ordinary. « Look inside me » whispers the black shelter. And as she complies, magic happens.

Yellowface by R. F. Kuang.

I’ve heard good things about this book. With AANHPI heritage month starting tomorrow, I felt this was a good time to start.

My 2024 reading thread is below!

Book 1: On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden

5 stars

Stunning art, lovely found family, and a fun sci fi setting, all while managing to strike the perfect balance between cozy and yearning.

Book 16 of 2024: Prophet Song by Lynch

4.5 stars

Not for the faint of heart, but I'm glad I read this. A brutal stream-of-consciousness portrayal of the rise of a far right regime and refugee crisis from the POV of an average mother. It's shameful that it only received so much attention because it's set in a western, white country, although I know this was Lynch's intention. The prose is an acquired taste; it mostly worked for me but was sometimes a little belabored.

    Book 17 of 2024: Unseen Academicals by Pratchett

    3.75 stars

    This one was a mixed bag for me. I really loved some of the characters and thought a few of the arcs were perfectly executed, but there was simply too much going on. It's the longest Discworld novel and felt much too long, particularly at the end. I loved the working class characters but found the racial politics surprisingly regressive for Pratchett. I did learn a lot about football, though.

    Book 18 of 2024: Illuminae Files_01 by Kaufman & Kristoff

    4 stars

    I expected garden variety sci fi romance and this surpassed those expectations. Lots of well-paced twists and turns with interesting characters and themes. The romance was a little flat for me, but the innovative art design is what truly shines. The most stylistically interesting book I've read in a long time. I never thought I'd read an ergodic YA novel, but I'm very glad to be proven wrong!
