Jessica Mae Stover added a status update: Looks like Amazon-Goodreads has taken another thing away: we used to be able to link anyone to our shelves. Now? login required to view. That also means I can’t see my shelves when logged out. Just like FB putting Instagram behind a log-in wall after taking over which was terrible for the many people who avoid facebook, and Elon Musk doing that to Twitter pages after he took it over, destroyed it and people fled.

Edgar Allan Poe
“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.”
Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven

Carl Sagan
“At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense.”
Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Jessica Mae Stover :)

Hi there! And welcome! I rate critically instead of based on liking (the two don't always overlap): anything rated a 4 or 5 is a minor or major triumph and more objectively is a good use of anyone's time. That is to say, these books have something generally worthwhile to offer and a high quality of craft and manuscript production. I recommend all of these works. Enjoy!

Anything rated a 3 is solid enough and can be translated as, "Read this if you are into exactly this sort of thing." Enjoy!

My approach includes a sociological lens. Sociological imagination is part of the job of an author. There's a thread of this throughout my notes, along with some other themes. (Just in case that helps you decide whether or not to hit the follow button.) There are many reasons I might not rate a book at all, especially if I haven't figured out a just approach to rating the work since the rating system is very limited, or if I have nothing to add to a thoroughly-reviewed classic. Sometimes I post notes without rating as another way to provide nuance.

I curate shelves of recommendations for anyone looking for fresh ideas, and I often browse shelves curated by the readers in my feed. I aim to uplift great books and skilled writers, and provide insight into the publishing and film industry.

I'm an approved Bookshop author, and you can find my reading recommendations and challenges here. https://bookshop.org/shop/JSto Happy reading!
