Calum

   Thanks to NetGalley and Verso Books for providing me with an ARC.

This book heavily relies on cultural touchstones that I was scrambling to look up alongside the reading, but is well worth it. Yousfi is very talented writer, and her commentary is sharp. 

Endlessly adorable, I can't wait to get a physical copy as a coffee table book! Great for any cat and art lover. Thanks to Netgalley and Ten Speed Press for the ARC.

Both a biography of Dr. Hirschfeld and a well-argued plea that he was right for the very reason he had a target on his back. Due to his historical significance, the book goes more into political history than your average biography, and it is very well done narratively. The comparisons to Einstein seemed a little cheesy to me, but in a go-off-king kinda way :Þ

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC. Look for this when it comes out next month.

thanks to netgalley and penguin for the ARC

i really wanted to like this, and there's nothing wrong with it per se.... it just isn't very funny while trying very hard to be funny. your mileage may vary

A fantastic introduction to the vast and diverse Romani people. Each chapter covers a different country where Roma have history, and blends a short history of the relationship of each state to its Romani people with a travelogue of the author visiting with each community or her own experience and family history. Thanks to NetGalley and Harper for the e-ARC.
