A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality - Molly Muldoon & Will Hernandez

 


Merci à NetGalley et à la ME pour l'envoi de ce SP
(English below)

J'ai vu passer par hasard ce titre sur NetGalley et j'étais curieuse de voir comment était traité le sujet de l'asexualité. Je ne m'attendais pas à ce que ce soit une BD ni qu'elle soit aussi courte (72 pages), je l'ai donc lue en une soirée.
Personnellement je n'ai pas appris grand chose, mais cette BD est une très bonne porte d'entrée sur l'asexualité car elle est très pédagogique et accessible. Je n'étais pas vraiment fan du style graphique mais là n'est pas le sujet.
Gros point noir : le non engagement des auteurices par rapport à l'appartenance des asexuel∙les au sein du collectif LGBT+. Iels disent même que le A de LGBTQIA pourrait être pour allié∙e ! J'ai trouvé ça vraiment lâche de leur part, dire "vous êtes LGBT+ si vous le sentez" n'est pas suffisant pour qu'on accepte les aces parmi les LGBT+. À part ça, j'ai trouvé la BD très bonne et elle mériterait d'être amplement diffusée.

Thanks to NetGalley and to the publisher for sending me this eArc

The title says it all: it is an easy and quick read ! I didn't expect this book to be a comic but it didn't bother me.
I didn't learn anything new, but I think it is an essential read to anyone wondering what asexuality is. It's very informative and easy to understand. I didn't really vibe with the illustration style but it's not very important in such a book.
I think this book is really important and should be spread among everyone, BUT I really didn't like the non commitment of the authors in relation to the fact that aces are LGBT+ or not. They even said that A in LGBTQIA could stand for ally ! It's sad that these authors, who are asexuals themselves, didn't acknowledge that asexuals are part of the LGBT+ community.
Aside from that fact, I really enjoyed this little comic (72 pages!).

Never a hero - Vanessa Len

  Thanks to NetGalley and publisher for the arc! This is the second volume of the Monsters trilogy by Vanessa Len (I assume it's a trilogy), the first was Only a Monster that I also read thanks to NetGalley. I had given it 5 stars and I was a little afraid to read the second volume, but it was really great! I had so much fun reading it and found myself reading it instead of sleeping. Without spoilers, I can say that it was interesting to see the characters from the first book in another environment, and I think that the author understands perfectly the world and rules she has created. And now for the spoilers! Joan was so clueless that it became funny. She didn't notice A THING while Nick saw everything, and the only explanation she found was that Nick had been trained to be a monster hunter and that had stayed within him in the new timeline. Maybe, but still, Joan, you're just not very observant. Oh, unless it's for noticing how handsome Nick and Aaron are. Joan, focu

Infinity Gate - M.R. Carey

  Merci à NetGalley et à la ME pour ce SP (English below) J'avais déjà lu (et abandonné) un livre de cet auteur, Celle qui a tous les dons , mais j'avais vu la critique de l'excellente booktubeuse Willow sur sa chaîne Books and Bao qui m'avait vraiment intriguée, donc quand j'ai vu Infinity Gate sur NetGalley, je n'ai pas hésité. L'histoire est narrée à la première personne sans qu'on ne sache qui est lae  narrateurice, qui va présenter trois personnes : Hadiz Tambuwal, Topaz Tourmaline et Essien Nkanika. On rencontre d'abord Hadiz qui, dans une vaine tentative de sauver le monde qu'elle habite, va découvrir par hasard l'existence d'autres mondes, d'autres Terres, ainsi que le Pandominium, un consortium d'un nombre incalculable de mondes parallèles. Le principe du Pandominium m'a paru fascinant ! Dans ce tome, on voit un peu son fonctionnement, surtout celui de son armée, et le début de la guerre contre un consortium de monde

Come Home Safe - Brian G. Buckmire

  I gave this book 4 stars because I feel it is very important in our society, whatever the country. The author wants to give keys to Black people as how to navigate a world where racism and police brutality are so prevalent. As a novel, it isn't a really captivating or groundbreaking but I still feel it is a read that every non-white person should have. White people too, of course, to really understand how pernacious racism is. I wish the book was better written and the dialogues were more realistic, especially for young teenagers, but it still gave a good idea of what can happen to any non white person in the public space. Thanks to NetGalley and to the publisher for this eArc. Rep: Black people cast, mixed race kids TW: police brutality, violence, gaslighting, racism
