Welcome to the Goddamn Ice Cube: Chasing Fear and Finding Home in the Great White North by Blair Braverman

5.0

I first learned of Blair Braverman through a friend on Twitter, and began following her for her wry humor and love of dogs. I've read her shorter writings and enjoyed each and every one I read, so I asked for this book for Christmas.

I am not a huge nonfiction reader, and yet I could hardly put this book down. Of the stack of books I received for the holiday - including my standard fantasy and speculative fiction - this was the first one I reached for and opened and started reading and kept reading. Braverman is incredibly observant, and brutally honest, and these along with her beautiful prose make for a truly compelling read.

I expected a book about mushing, and dogs. Both are in here, along with so much more. I won't post any spoilers, but I will say that I highly recommend this book.
