It’s the first in the Newsflesh trilogy, taking place in the U.S. after a zombie apocalypse has occurred. Except it’s not really an apocalypse,ContinueContinue reading “Meagan Reads Sci-Fi: Feed by Mira Grant”

Meagan Reads Speculative Fiction: Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor
Here’s another backlist I recently read as part of a book club with my coworkers. I figured since it’s been slated for production as a television show with HBO though, it might be relevant to some media fans. Readers beware: spoilers are ahead! Also, tw: sexual assault, rape, violence. Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor, 2010 Here’sContinueContinue reading “Meagan Reads Speculative Fiction: Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor”
The Benefits of Diverse Reading
Lately, I’ve made a much more conscious effort at reading diversely. We chose The Paper Menagerie by Ken Liu for my cousins’ book club. I read Krik? Krak! by Edwidge Danticat for the 2018 Madlibs reading challenge. And for my book club at work with my coworkers, we’re reading Who Fears Death by Nnedi Okorafor.ContinueContinue reading “The Benefits of Diverse Reading”
Meagan Reads Poetry: Past Life Invisible by Daniel Haskin
It took me some time to get through this and finally get around to reviewing it, not because it’s a slog to get through (far from it), but rather just due to my hectic schedule. I would like to summarize my overall thoughts about this collection with the statement that it is a reader friendlyContinueContinue reading “Meagan Reads Poetry: Past Life Invisible by Daniel Haskin”
Meagan Reads SciFi: Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
I’ve been participating in the MadLibs Reading Challenge 2018, and I chose this book as one of the “noun” categories. Be warned that spoilers are coming ahead, so if you plan on reading the book, do not pass this line! Annihilation is a relatively short read, but don’t let it’s small size fool you. ThereContinueContinue reading “Meagan Reads SciFi: Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer”
Meagan Reads YA Fiction: Wrecked by Maria Padian
This is a post I made for my cousin’s blog. Click the link below to see the full review. This one is a bit of a backlist, as it was published in 2016. However, its contents and story are still relevant, as they have always been, and as I fear they may always be. IContinueContinue reading “Meagan Reads YA Fiction: Wrecked by Maria Padian”

Why It’s Important to Diversify Your Reading
A never-ending stack of books (Image by Free-Photos from Pixabay) I’ve spent the last two and a half years reading for a book challenge my best friend and I decided to take on. She’s a much faster reader than I am and finished in about a year. It was the first time I’d ever doneContinueContinue reading “Why It’s Important to Diversify Your Reading”
Growing Up With Anne of Green Gables
It took me a little over two years, but I finally finished the 26 book reading challenge! I ended the two-year endeavor with the category “a book you love, read it again,” with Anne of Green Gables. I read this book so many times between 4th and 6th grade that I lost count of howContinueContinue reading “Growing Up With Anne of Green Gables”
