I received Space Brooms! as an advanced readers copy. It will be available to purchase on March 25, 2025.

“All my life I wanted adventure.”

Space Brooms! By A, G. Rodriguez is a wild sci-fi adventure that follows Johnny Gomez a space broom – term for a custodian- as he teams up with a captivating cast of characters. After Johnny happens upon a data chit containing information worth millions,  his boring life becomes much more entertaining and filled with the new and exciting people he meets along the way.

 Space Brooms! is an easy to read book that quickly becomes immersive and enjoyable. The characters, starting with Johnny, are delightful even if they don’t all have Johnny’s best interests at heart. They’re likeable and well written so you aren’t reading about characters that just seem to be copy and pasted to only fill the pages. The new terminology that exists in this new futuristic space world is introduced and understood easily. There is no need for a glossary to help keep track of everything Rodriguez has included in the book. The beauty and wonder of space and the wreckage of Earth – or Terra – was mostly abandoned in are both described wonderfully. Reading sci-fi that discusses Earth’s future is always an experience whether good or bad and no matter who gets blamed; Rodriguez’s telling is no different. While Space Brooms! is a story of adventure and survival, it is also the story of found family. Johnny goes from having one friend to finding a few more. Even if they originally just became involved in his life in order to make money from the data chit. There was a hint of romance that I’m kind of glad didn’t come to fruition. A person you daydream about from afar without knowing anything about them is not going to miraculously become your life partner. Since they met each other and have gotten to know each other, maybe a romance could be in the future.

 Overall, I enjoyed Space Brooms! very much, It is an easy read that I could see rereading in the future. I found A. G. Rodriguez’s writing style and world building enjoyable and entertaining. Once the sequel promised at the end of the book comes out, I will definitely be buying it. If you’re a fan or sci-fi and found family and if you won’t mind reading a bit of violence, then I recommend Space Brooms!

Thunder and Daisy Review

 Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thunder and Daisy by Mercedes Paradiso is a collection of poetry. Split into two chapters –Thunder and   Daisy- the poems contained within focus mainly on love and heartbreak.   Thunder and Daisy is a specific type of poetry called instapoetry. This is fairly obvious when reading the book. The poems are intersected with pictures to represent the poem that precedes it. I feel that the pictures aren’t necessary and the poems speak for themselves. The poems in Daisy broke away from the more simplistic ones in Thunder. Seeing the difference between the two chapters was a great way to not have the poetry seem repetitive.   I’m glad I read Thunder and Daisy. I didn’t enjoy every poem included but I could feel the emotions that were put into the entire book. If you’re a fan of poetry, I definitely recommend checking out Thunder and Daisy. Since Mercedes Paradiso includes her plan for releasing a book in the future that will be linked to Thunder and D...

Feminism: Opposing Viewpoints Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐ “As individuals and as a nation, it is imperative that we consider the opinions of others and examine them with skill and discernment.” -John Stuart Mill Feminism: Opposing Views is a collection of essays discussing various issues as they pertain to feminism and women. The ideas and opinions discussed are neither wrong or right nor are they presented as such. It is simply a way to question feminism and your own ideas on the different topics discussed. I found this book to be a perfect look into feminism and the opposition to the movement. The essays were very diverse and discussed everything from should women work to can feminism and religion mix. Each essay started with questions you should consider as you read. I thought this was very helpful. The questions really assisted in making you consider and pay attention to what you’re reading. While reading, it seemed that not all of the authors were fully informed about what...
