Supers (Book One): A Little Star Past Cassiopeia by Frederic Maupome

May 11, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have been interested in this graphic novel for awhile now, but never got around to it. Mostly because it was a book one. And now I wish I had not read it. Not because it is bad. In fact, just the opposite and I am unable to locate any edition after in English. Thanks a lot Frederic Maupome! Supers (Book One): A Little Star Past Cassiopeia is a comfortable story. It is familiar but not necessarily done before. Matt is starting a new school […]

YES I CAN HEAR YOU CLEM FANDANGO

Toast on Toast by Steven Toast

May 9, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

and with that traditional greeting, Steven Toast bellows his way into the utterly ridiculous and frequently disgusting story of his life. Steven Toast, an utter buffoon of a down on his luck/past his prime actor, is the creation of Matt Berry and Arthur Matthews- and while Toast is credited as the author (what with this being an autobiography and all), the work really belongs to them. If you have not seen Toast’s show, Toast of London, then you are going to need to stop what […]

The shortest (or almost shortest) title anyone will review

Ye by Guilherme Petreca

May 8, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Ye by Guilherme Petreca is one of those metaphor books where you sometimes can miss the metaphor if you are looking too closely at the literal aspect of things. It is also something you might read too much into if you are not careful. Therefore, this is what I like to call “An Experience Book.” You must read it to find what speaks to you. Is it a metaphor for fear, anger, depression? Is it about growing, living, life? Or is it about a kid […]

Whole new meaning to Under the Sea

Mera: Tidebreaker by Danielle Paige

May 8, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have not decided why the cover of Mera: Tidebreaker turned me off to the book. In fact, the whole story turned me off. I have never been an Aquaman fan, so maybe that was why. Maybe I was afraid that Danielle Paige would make her too “Girl Power-She-Woman-Man-Hater.” Maybe I was just really envious of her red hair. Regardless of my misgivings, when I finally found a copy of this graphic novel, I was willing to give it a shot. And I am glad […]

Surfs up and so is the adventures

Trot & Cap'n Bill Adventure V01 Sea Sirens by Amy Chu

May 8, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A pet peeve of mine is picking up book two in a series and not realizing it is book two. I did that with the Trot & Cap’n Bill Adventure series by Amy Chu. I stopped reading it and figured someday I would find book one or just see what I could see in it. What happened was that book one, Sea Sirens, found me. Browsing through some books on our return cart, I noticed it. Just sitting there. Quietly. Waiting. And Sea Sirens was […]

I’m not sleepy….

The Yawns Are Coming! by Christopher Eliopoulos

May 8, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Who has not had a yawn sneak up on them? Then another? And another? The two kids in this story have just that happen in The Yawns Are Coming! by Christopher Eliopoulos. Yawns is a cute story about two best friends wanting to play all night long at a sleepover, but how the Yawns (and their friends) have other plans. While the kids bravely fight the Yawns, they are no match! The funny antics of these two best friends (and the Yawns and their friends) […]
