Living Dead Girls

Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

January 10, 2020 by BlackRabbit Leave a Comment

It’s a roller-coaster ride, no doubt. One filled with swords and skeletons. Which begs the question: can a necromancer be ride-or-die? Or are they ride-AND-die?

He Said Butt!

Where is My Butt? by Donald Budge

January 9, 2020 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

I have said it before, and I will say it again: I was a ten-year-old boy in another life. There is nothing like some good “potty humor” jokes. (Now, that is debatable, of course, and changes definition from person to person, but I stick by my statement.) You know what you are getting into and where the story is going when you read the title of Donald Budge’s book, Where is My Butt? You know that there will be some potty jokes (after all we […]

Grandma Mazur is the star of Twisted Twenty-Six and I wouldn’t have it any other way

Twisted Twenty-Six by Janet Evanovich

January 7, 2020 by pixifer Leave a Comment

Twisted Twenty-Six by Janet Evanovich is, you guessed it, the 26th book in the Stephanie Plum Series.  In case you’ve never read a Stephanie Plum book, here’s the gist. Stephanie is a thirty-something bail bonds officer, aka bounty hunter, in the Trenton suburb where she was raised. She’s not great at her job, but she is persistent. The cast includes her cop boyfriend Joe Morelli, her sometimes lover and security expert Ranger, her best friend and partner in crime Lula, and her parents and grandmother.  […]

You’re My Best Friend

Pizza and Taco: Who’s the Best? by Stephen Shaskan

January 7, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

One of the things I like about graphic novels is that they do not “look” like a book. They are books, but they have this feeling they are not really a book to a reluctant or early reader. Does this make them the best format to read? Maybe/Maybe not. But you and your friends can vote on it, like best friends Pizza and Taco do in Pizza and Taco: Who’s the Best? But like any election, there is a lead up to why there is […]

Awesome; More Awesome; Most Awesome

Waylon! Even More Awesome by Sara Pennypacker

January 6, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Knowing the first book (Waylon! One Awesome Thing) helps with reading Waylon! Even More Awesome by Sara Pennypacker. Yet, it is also an independent read. I am hoping book three (Waylon! the Most Awesome of All) is equally good and equally independent. This is a comfortable story about friends, what is right/wrong, learning that science cannot answer all of our problems and sometimes things are not what they seem. Aimed at ages 5 to 6 to be red too, but ages 7 to (young) 10 […]

Hey I read two (easy) books….

Moana and Pua by Melissa Lagonegro

Clark the Shark: Tooth Trouble by Bruce Hale

January 6, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have probably mentioned I like what we in the business call “Easy readers.” They are the beginning readers for ages 5 to 8; kindergarten to about second grade. Not only do you have a quick read (and therefore can say I Read A Book!) you can learn what the publishing world thinks kids like. For a while, Moana was big. Really big. The movie was everyplace as were toys, clothing and books. One of those books was Moana and Pua. This is Random House’s […]
