I got a box from First Second in mid-February, and when I saw that they sent me a copy of Check Please: Sticks and Scones, I wanted to cancel everything I had planned and read it immediately. I’ve both been waiting for this forever and don’t want it to end, but Bitty’s journey as a student […]

It’s difficult to adequately describe Riot Baby, Tochi Onyebuchi’s adult debut. It’s a unique mix of fantasy, science fiction, and dystopia that is utterly unlike anything I’ve ever read. It’s 173 pages of gut punches that will challenge the preconceptions of people like me, who grew up in the same country but a totally different world […]

I took Galaxy’s Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook for a test drive to see how well the dishes translate to home cooking. -Read […]
