The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Wow! That was a great ending. I listened to the public domain audio book and was not required in any way to review this book.

Moteki, 1: Love Strikes! by Mitsurou Kubo

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I liked the art but I didn't love the story. It's about a man who's about to turn 30 who still hasn't found the love of his life. Frankly, with his personality, I'm not surprised that he doesn't have a woman who wants to be with him. He doesn't really treat women very well. And without a likable protagonist, it was really hard to care about his romantic adventures.

I received this book as part of the Amazon Vine program in exchange for a fair, honest review.

October Mini-Review: 'Not That Bad: Dispatches From Rape Culture' Edited by Roxane Gay

This should be required reading in every U.S. high school. It can be grim and depressing to face just how badly American culture (this is primarily U.S.-focused) handles the issue of consent to sex. Every essay in this collection is chilling.

Still, we can't do very much to address the problem unless we're willing to face it head-on. Men, women, and children all deserve better than this.
