![]() ![]() Patrick is the local bookstore clerk, whom Josie fancies, but she constantly worries about her perception. But in either case, Willie represents the life Josie has always resented, and the work that Willie makes her do is disgusting and embarrassing, cleaning up between John's as janitor. Madam Willie is like a mother to Josie, in light of her mother's more disappointing example. There is an implication in the novel that perhaps Josie's mother is murdering rich people to steal their money. Her daughter is raised to feel embarrassed and ashamed about her mother, but the shame isn't just that her mother sells her body, it's also that Josie's mother seems potentially evil. ![]() Josie's mother is a prostitute, but beyond that, she is a petty criminal with a poor conscience. She mostly just wants a new life, so she works very hard to earn money for college, but it still seems out of her reach. Written by people who wish to remain anonymousĪn embarrassed, confused girl whose very name is New Orleans slang for "prostitute." Her mother is a prostitute who works for Willie, and Josie has been mistreated her whole life for these associations. ![]() ![]() We are thankful for their contributions and encourage you to make your own.

![]() ![]() ![]() A comparison of the Tokyo Vice book and TV series.I don’t usually rush after the hyped books, but I was intrigued by Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus and the ‘acceptable’ picture of female anger that it presented.Kawakami Mieko: All the Lovers in the Night, Miura Shion: The Great Passage, Miyashita Natsu: The Forest of Wool and Steel, Lee Wei-Jing: The Mermaid’s Tale in one post on loneliness, alienation and finding connection through a passion for something.Onda Riku: Fish Swimming in Dappled Sunlight and Matsumoto Seicho: Tokyo Express.Here are the books that I have reviewed this month (I am putting the Japanese author names in the Japanese order – surname first): Nine books in translation, three non-fiction books, ten by women writers, four that could fit under the crime fiction label. 18 books this month, of which 7 fit with the January in Japan challenge (although one of the seven was not written by a Japanese author, but was a non-fiction book about the Japanese criminal world). ![]() I’ve mostly snuggled in my burrow and read – even more than usual, now that I’ve decided not to worry about reviewing every book.

On the whole, this isn’t a bad thing, entirely – but I’m not going to fault the readers who bail before the good stuff starts. More than two hundred pages pass before we get even the vaguest hint of the vengeful witch team-up we’re promised in the novel’s synopsis. ![]() But the downside of all this is that it takes entirely too long for the story to really get going. It’s obvious that Smart has put a ton of time and attention into creating a universe that feels fully formed from its first page. Ciannon Smart’s Witches Steeped in Gold is a story so dense that it approaches overstuffed, full of the sort of rich lore and complicated worldbuilding that are a hallmark of this genre. It’s a rare series whose first tome doesn’t clock in at 500 pages, stuffed full of lore, complex magical systems, and shifting character motivations and it can be difficult to strike a balance among them all. ![]() These days, fantasy novels often feel longer than ever. ![]() ![]() An in-depth review of variation, movement, and active negative space, with illustrations that diagram the action in each example.
