I’ve mentioned a time or two before that I love fan fiction. Even when I wasn’t in the mood for regular books, fan fiction remained a close friend. One of my earliest fandoms was Batman, which led to my long-lasting interest in the Teen Titans, which led to a more ephemeral interest in the new

Queer books about found family are not hard to come by. But as wonderful as those books are, sometimes I just want to read about queer parents and other biologically related queer people: queer grandparents, siblings, elders, and other caregivers. I want books that explore how queerness lives in bio families, and delve into all

There were two book series I’d dash down the aisles of Waldenbooks for as a young reader: The Baby-Sitters Club and Goosebumps. Like so many young readers, the Goosebumps series appealed to me as someone who loved scary stories, and R.L. Stine was tapping into something that made me crave more. I never quite got

May 3rd to 7th is Teacher Appreciation Week! Teaching is always a difficult job (I should know: I tried it!), but this year has been particularly challenging. Teachers have been scrambling to adjust to ever-changing Covid protocols, learning new technology and strategies to teach remotely–often with very little notice, and may have had to choose

The best way to teach reading is a topic that has been hotly debated for many decades. If the past is any indicator, we’re going to be fighting about it for decades to come. It’s worth arguing about because literacy is important. Roughly 21% of American adults are illiterate. Illiteracy has harmful impacts on health,

As someone with a couple annoying food allergies, I end up cooking most of my own meals at home, even before the pandemic made eating out more difficult. I try to eat healthy, whole foods including lots of vegetables and stay away from processed foods laden with additives (some of which I’m allergic to). I

In November, we posted an article about Alan Dean Foster fighting Disney for owed royalties from Alien and Star Wars tie-in books he wrote. Apparently, after Disney acquired the copyright licenses for these books, they continued to publish them–but not pay royalties. The SFWA (Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America) brought the discussion public

Growing up, one of my favourite films was UHF starring Weird Al Yankovic. As an 8-year-old, it felt like a movie that I wasn’t supposed to be watching. It was subversive, weird, and punk rock. In the film, George (Yankovic) takes over a fledgling UHF television station. To get it back on its feet, he

Pseudonyms have been used to disguise the author’s identity to escape criticism or even prosecution when the works in question are critical of those in
