Posted on December 11, 2016 by Bec Graham

I want you to take a long hard look at that poster and tell me what you see. Do you see a woman fighting to come out of the shadows? Do you see a woman whose face has been wiped … Continue reading →

Posted on December 10, 2016 by Bec Graham

Yesterday was a good day, but it was good for two different Beckys. The first half was amazing for kind-of-adult Becky. I had my final probationary review at work yesterday afternoon and I passed. I now have an actual permanent … Continue reading →

I have been incredibly lucky in that the last few book I’ve read have been pure genius. Thanks for the Trouble is no exception. I bought this book when I was in Dymocks in Queen St Mall, forever and a day … Continue reading →

“Holding Up the Universe” by Jennifer Niven

“If You Feel Too Much” by Jamie Tworkowski

Posted on October 18, 2016 by Bec Graham

I’m not entirely sure how to start this post. If You Feel Too Much wasn’t so much a book as it was an experience. How do you explain an experience? Experiences are different for everyone. I suppose I should start with … Continue reading →

“The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There” by Catherynne M Valente

Posted on September 20, 2016 by Bec Graham

Before I get into this review, I just want to say that yes that is a colouring-in bookmark. I’m saving it for the end of the year. I think I’m going to need some relaxation after this semester. But moving … Continue reading →

“Lady Midnight” by Cassandra Clare

Posted on March 26, 2016 by Bec Graham

I finished Lady Midnight this morning and I’m not entirely sure how I felt about the experience. There’s this thing that seems to happen to YA authors where, when they get popular, editors just let them do whatever they want, at the … Continue reading →
