They blinded me with Science

The Truth about Crocodiles: Seriously Funny Facts about Your Favorite Animals by Maxwell Eaton III

July 3, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

#cbr11bingo #Science The first of my cbr11bingo books is: (drum roll please): The Truth about Crocodiles: Seriously Funny Facts about Your Favorite Animals by Maxwell Eaton III is a funny and educational book. Humor is both kid and adult friendly, but some jokes are slightly more adult. Not inappropriate but slightly more sophisticated. This and the fact the way it is set up (story text and fact text) allows the book to grow with your child. It is a multilevel and multi-aged book. There is something […]

Just as hilarious as the first outing by Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne

No Country for Old Gnomes: The Tales of Pell by Delilah S. Dawson, Kevin Hearne

July 1, 2019 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

Last year Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne released, and I reviewed, Kill the Farm Boy: The Tales of Pell. It was a hysterical twisting of fantasy tropes that had my husband and I literally laughing out loud while reading. This year they put out another book set in Pell, No Country for Old Gnomes. The nifty thing about these two books is they are standalone. You do not need to have read Kill the Farm Boy to read No Country for Old Gnomes, this is not […]

“What can the harvest hope for, if not for the care of the Reaper Man?”

Times up for death. He’s been handed his notice and he now has a little hourglass counting down the days till he will go. So he does what anyone might do, he quits his job and decides to go traveling. He travels exactly to where miss Flitworth needs a farmhand on her lonely farm. So he becomes a harvester. Meanwhile all the life that was supposed to run out, lingers on in the world causing all sorts of problems; especially for one Windle Poons who […]

By Friday, Llama will destroy the world

Llama Destroys the World by Jonathan Stutzman

June 27, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I had high hopes for Llama Destroys the World. (As I somewhat liked Tiny T. Rex and it just sounded funny). Okay, the title does not instill confidence, but I was expecting a Llama hero causing an accident and then POOF! Magically saves the day. What happened instead was a piggy llama who ate all the cake, got too big for his britches (literally) and caused not only a rip in his pants but the universe as well with a black hole. Now, many think […]

The Witch is OK

The Okay Witch by Emma Steinkellner

June 27, 2019 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The cover of the advanced reader copy of The Okay Witch by Emma Steinkellner recalled some classic “witch books” and stories such as Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Kiki, and a few that I know I know but cannot come to the front of my brain. The only real difference is that our main characters are of color. And while that is mentioned in an almost casual manner in the book (not only are our heroes persecuted for being witches, there are “other reasons” people do […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
