If Hope Never Dies does not win Best Humor in the Goodreads awards for 2018, I will never again be able to regard them as real awards. The plot and a lot of characters are pretty stereotypical for a mystery or buddy-cop adventure, but it’s a lot of fun, like one of those Obama-Biden memes novelized. Not much as a serious mystery, but really entertaining. Think of the plot and main duo of any buddy-cop adventure: Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker (Rush Hour), Danny Glover […]
Gabbie Hanna brings twists and turns to adulthood
When you do not feel like reading your last Bingo book you pick up Adultolescence by Gabbie Hanna. These indulgent poems are the perfect read when you just want to sit and do a little reading but do not want to sit and read. However, I practically devoured the book in one setting. I am not sure how old Hanna is, but you get the feeling they are in their late 20’s/early 30’s. The poems are exactly what you expected. As previously mentioned, they can […]
When you are comfy and ready for a good read….
When you are comfy and ready for a good read you want the book to pop! I was looking at Gator, Gator, Gator! by Daniel Berstrom and was expecting a lot of pop! There was fun rhyming, but not obviously in your face rhyming. There was a diverse narrator. There was the lovely illustrations of Frann Preston-Gannon which were bright, colorful, cool and soft all at once. You were in the bayou looking for that Gator and seeing the wonders of the swamp. Your heart […]
Welcome to the Neighborhood
Cardboard Kingdom is a graphic novel that follows a neighborhood of kids who transform ordinary cardboard into fantastical costumes as they explore life, family, friends and themselves. Created and drawn by Chad Sell we see a world that we probably have all lived in at one point. Who has not been “the loud girl” or known “the bully” or had that “little minion” kid sister? Or maybe you are the boy who wants to be the “Sorceress” or is the young lady who is the […]
Too many humans
My “award winner” bingo square belongs to Martha Wells’ murderbot opener “All Systems Red,” purchased from another CBR review, but I’m a bad person and can’t remember who to credit. Let’s just give the glory to Emmalita. Anyway, I was charmed by the plot description of an AI gone unexpectedly rogue who uses their newfound sentience to… laze about, hide their feelings, and binge watch a soap opera. My conciousness is neither unique nor hard-won, and I pretty much spend my life doing the same, […]
One taco, two tacos, three tacos, squirrel!
This Is a Taco! It might look like a squirrel, but it is a taco. Well, its name is Taco and he LOVES easting tacos. So much in fact, the only reason he agreed to do this book is not, so you the reader could learn about squirrels, but so he could get and eat tacos. However, he quickly learns that there are no tacos and that hawks are a squirrel’s worse enemy (I would think it would be getting taco sauce on your silky […]
