A fun underwater themed #booklook for The Memory Extracts by @judyliu_author and my first blurb as an author! Thanks so much Judy for thinking of me and sharing your awesome anthology

"A vivid futuristic slice-of-life that builds upon the intriguing oceanic world building of the Vending Portal with new characters that leap off the page, while the broader conflicts and themes of its companion novel lurk in the depths and between the lines, both mesmerizing and eerie." – Gabriella Buba, Author of SAINTS OF STORM AND SORROW

Go Check it out!

“There's a certain Slant of light, Winter Afternoons – That oppresses, like the Heft Of Cathedral Tunes –“ -Emily Dickinson I think this poem is going to be my second favorite one since this is a compact version of how winter feels like during its darkest hours. A hefty dry air surrounds our body with sharp pain of the coldest hour. Buildings fall on top of us while the morning fog falls over their roof like a blanket. insta: @meureiledreams

Mein Freund, das Fahrrad

Mein Freund, das Fahrrad

Heute setzte ich mich nicht auf’s Rad – es ist mir heute zu windig (und vielleicht auch ein bißchen zu kalt). Außerdem schneit es – aber zu wenig für eine “Schneebrunzer”-Ausfahrt. Also widme ich mich wieder einmal meinen Bücher-Kisten – mein willhaben-Account und mein Booklooker-Account gehören ja bestückt… Und was finde ich da – ein kleines Büchlein der legendären „Perlen-Reihe“ mit dem Titel…

So I’m doing this project on how Moms for Liberty are just the modern day United Daughters of the Confederacy particularly because of the manipulation of education to further their ideology, right? And this means burning my eyes while combing through their bullshit lists and documents about coordinated book banning, one such being the BookLooks database (which was totally not made by Moms for Liberty *wink wink*) where they rate books on a scale from 0 to 5 (0 being “🇺🇸🙏🏻no objections ✝️🇺🇸” and 5 being “this book is the coming of the antichrist 😈🔥burn🔥 it now).

I wish I was joking but they rate the following books are either equally as or more objectionable than Lolita which they rate at a middle of the road 3/5:

Just about everything by Sarah J. Maas (3-4/5)

Gender Queer - Maia Kobabe (4/5)

Last Night at the Telegraph Club - Malinda Lo (4/5)

Nick and Charlie - Alice Oseman (3/5)

Nineteen Minutes -Jodi Picoult (4/5)

Normal People - Sally Rooney (4/5)

One Last Stop - Casey McQuiston (4/5)

Red, White and Royal Blue - Casey McQuiston (4/5)

Now, these are just a smattering, but the fact that they see a book centered on an abuse of a minor as not as problematic as generally any book with queer themes makes me want to scream (but again not unexpected given the proclivities of a lot of conservative white men with their own that makes Lolita resonate with them 👀). Like even if you aren’t a fan of Sarah J. Maas or don’t vibe with Sally Rooney’s writing style, I think we all can agree that Lolita is inherently worse and objectively a more problematic book.

Truly, Moms for Liberty is what is wrong with the country. 🖕

(If you choose to look at this source in particular, be aware that their summaries often intentionally misgender characters and are generally horrible.)

#book banning #the white hands in the prayer emoji were intentional #i hate this place #send them to their own hate island #moms for liberty #but only liberty for them! #I’m going to go play a cozy switch game to decompress now

The Adventure of the Misguided Bible Study

A little while back, I attempted to read a book called Sherlock Holmes and the Needle's Eye: The World's Greatest Detective Tackles the Bible's Ultimate Mysteries, by Len Bailey.  I had received a free copy of the book from the blogger program that used to be called Booksneeze.com.  (They are now called BookLook Bloggers.) The idea behind the program is, bloggers receive free books or ebooks, in exchange for writing a review on their blog and on a commercial site (such as Amazon.com).  I'm afraid I never wrote that review, because I simply could not get through this awful book.

The basic premise, as described in the publisher's own blurb, is this: "The detective and the doctor travel back in time with the help of a Moriarty-designed time machine to investigate ten Bible destinations, unlocking clues to ten Bible mysteries."  Some readers may say right off the bat, "Sounds awful...why would you read it?"  Good question. I'm interested in the Bible, I'm interested in Sherlock Holmes (I write blogs on both subjects)...the book combines a couple of my main interests.  I soon regretted my decision.

Even if we agree to suspend disbelief concerning the "time machine" portion of the plot AND expand that suspension of disbelief to accept the idea that Holmes and Watson would be able to understand what was going on in an ancient culture in an ancient language...even if we agree to those pretty big "ifs," the Holmes and Watson portrayed in the pages of Bailey's book are almost completely unlike the characters created by Arthur Conan Doyle.  Holmes and Watson are quoting Scripture left and right, speaking in a slightly Anglicized version of typical modern evangelical "Christianese." Meanwhile, the book purports to be "solving" Biblical mysteries such as "Why did David choose five stones?" or "What did Jesus write on the ground in John 8?" I question the necessity of answering such questions, and I am highly skeptical of any Bible study which purports to have "deduced" the answers to said questions.

The amazing thing to me is that I have read several very positive reviews of the book on Goodreads and Amazon.com. Even more amazing is that at least one positive review came from a person who was avowedly not a Christian.  I expect fans of Christian literature to be a bit undiscriminating when they read Christian literature: I've encountered such things too many times before to be surprised by that.  But I did not expect a non-Christian Holmes fan to actually enjoy what I found painful to read, both from a Sherlockian viewpoint and from a Christian viewpoint.

I am interested in knowing if any of my readers have encountered Sherlock Holmes and the Needle's Eye, and if so, what they thought of it.  Meanwhile, it may interest readers to see this article on Huffington Post by the author Len Bailey, in which he explains why he decided to use Doyle's characters for his book.  I'm still not convinced, but at least he seems to have thought it out.

Apparently Florida had a town Hall recently in which citizens tried to get the government to fund this book-banning database where ‘Moms for Liberty’ add any book that offends them to try and get them banned.
