Somehow music expression is humanising… so long as it‘s not Mick Jagger. Someone make that make sense? How closed minded of him. This dude needs to read Alfie Kohn and redo the assignment.

It‘s a beautiful Sunday for EFM homework on the back porch. Also I really like these highlighters recommended by MMD.

Emily Eternal | M. G. WHEATON

An interesting concept that falls short of it's full potential. Emily is an interesting character who doesn't quite fully materialise on the page whilst other characters flit through the story as mere vessels for Emily. Wheaton makes the Sci-fi writer mistake of getting too smart in places meaning I lost interest and the story never quite recovers.

I admire what Ramirez attempted here and am giving it a Pick over a So-so for this aim to give humanity to science history. But I was never transported and inspired; I had too high hopes, perhaps. Yet, she has a great #PieinLit mention and she drops in Perkins mauve color (NF book by Simon Garfield) so there's that. 👇

#JulyJourneys Day 23: In Sophie Blackall‘s Author‘s Note in her latest exquisite picturebook, she mentioned “I have made books about boars and babies and bears and #lighthouse(s) but what I wanted in that moment was a book that would bring us together. A book about their home and mine.” My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-n5K

9/10 There are some plot holes that I feel are overlooked just because the story is kept short. I feel like both halves could‘ve been longer than 250 ish pages each. I really loved Gemma the entire time but it took much longer to warm up to Lyra. Maybe that‘s the point but I don‘t like that I found myself only wanting to hear Lyras point of view.

Narrator is a gorilla, captured & indoctrinated in a program to turn animals into humans. “Civilization” includes underwear, cell phones, walking upright, use of a knife & fork. Ultimate test=cocktail party chit-chat. Beginning is harrowing, like a slave narrative, but tone wavers. Is it satire? Fantasy? Allegory? Observations on the oddity of human social structures. Refuses to draw conclusions, feels unfinished. Orwell it isn‘t. Trans 2016.
