I Am a Bad Feminist and That’s Okay (Book Review)

December 14, 2015 by Allison Hiltz 13 Comments

bad feminist

Confession: I am a bad feminist. I try, I really do, but sometimes it can be exhausting and while I'm pretty vocal in my beliefs, I sometimes let things slide because I have other things to do. Luckily, Roxane Gay has granted me a reprieve because she, too, is a Bad Feminist. There were parts of this book that made me feel like I found a kindred spirit (I, too, find rap … [Read more...]

“All That Is Solid” Is Superb

March 23, 2015 by Allison Hiltz 14 Comments

If you were to read the description of All That Is Solid Melts Into Air, you would be led to believe that it is a sweeping story about last days of the Soviet Union. Though this is true, it fails to truly capture the intimate storylines of its three main characters:  a former journalist working in a factory, a young piano player forced from his home, and a doctor who … [Read more...]

‘Orphans of Race Point’ Explores the Outer Limits of Friendship

May 6, 2014 by Allison Hiltz 22 Comments

When I was 10 my parents drove me to the midnight departure of my school's Safety Patrol trip to Washington, D.C. As I was chatting with my friends, my Dad started chatting with one of the bus drivers. Turns out, they knew each other from a decade before in Massachusetts. This may not seem so odd except for the fact that we were living in Florida. He's not the only one who has … [Read more...]

Conquering the Classics: ‘The Bell Jar’ Blew Me Away

April 12, 2013 by Allison Hiltz 35 Comments

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath

Considering how much I love the movie 10 Things I Hate About You, I'm pretty surprised by how long it has taken me to finally read The Bell Jar. I think it is because I have heard so much about it's depressing nature that I was wary. How could such a depressing book be so wonderful? But since it is on my 2013 TBR Challenge list, Classics Club challenge and 1001 Books to … [Read more...]
