Lumberjanes 16 Mind over Mettle by Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh, AnneMarie Rogers

February 7, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I’m starting to get a little bored with this current Lumberjanes pattern: focus on a specific scout who has a personal issue, adventure ensues, friendship lesson is acquired and possibly some personal growth. This time it’s Mal who feels like she’s the scaredy-cat of the group and wants to be braver; the thing I don’t get is why she goes to Ripley the team goof for help. Ripley is totally carefree and runs into everything without thinking; I wouldn’t call that brave, I’d be calling […]

What’s Your Flavor of Ice Cream?

Bones of the Past by Drew Hayes

February 7, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Villain’s Code 1 may have been the first thing by Drew Hayes that I read. Now that it was finally time for a sequel, I was kind of excited to see that world again. Villain’s Code 2 is titled Bones of the Past and that’s pretty much an accurate description on a couple of levels. First, the main focus of book 1, Tori, who is now a new villain starting to find her place in the world, is not as much the focus; but she’s […]

When the annoying one of the hero/friend/rival pair is positioned to win

Black Clover vol 22 by Yuki Tabata

January 30, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Besides comfort reading, I sometimes turn to graphic novels and manga for some brain relief or palate cleansing when also reading a book that is either much longer or more complicated; in this case, that would be an 1100+ page sci-fi/ speculative fiction novel (review to come in hopefully a week or so). I’ve been following the Black Clover series a while, and I’m about 2 or 3 volumes behind the published in English volumes, but whatever. The basic gist of the series is pretty […]

A side story that stands on its own

The Ancient Magus Bride: Jack the Flash and the Faerie Case Files vol. 2 by Yu Godai, Mako Oikawa, Kore Yamazaki

January 24, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I have been greatly enjoying The Ancient Magus Bride series in several of its current forms; most recently, the two side-series. One of them is the manga Jack Flash and the Faerie Case Files; here I present volume two. This part of the story wraps up the first arc, which is basically a re-telling of the short story in which Jack (Jaqueline, but she hates being called that) and her twin Larry are introduced. Jack and Larry are Changelings, a human and Fae baby switched […]

The last Food War is more about the people than the food, and it turned out well

Food Wars! vo. 36 by Yuto Tsukuda, Shun Saeki, Yuki Marisaki

January 23, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I tend to turn to graphic novels and manga for comfort reads; I’ve needed that a bit more lately. I wanted something I could trust not to be too much with the feels and end happily. I took a chance with the final volume of Food Wars! (#36) and thankfully there were no major surprises of those sorts. The basic premise has always been kind of entertaining to me: a bunch of students at a culinary high school and their hijinks. Naturally there’s the rebel […]

Q&A With Dolly Parton

Dolly on Dolly Interviews and Encounters with Dolly Parton by Randy L. Schmidt

January 18, 2021 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I went to the library with a specific title to pick up but then I saw the book next to it and thought that looked better. I was looking for the Dolly Parton memoir but ended up with Dolly on Dolly: Interviews and Encounters. I don’t regret this. As the title suggests, the majority of the book is transcripts of interviews Dolly Parton has given starting in 1967 and running through 2014. Most come from major publications like Playboy, Rolling Stone, and Ladies Home Journal. […]
