Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

The Knight Owl #2 Knight Owl and Early Bird by Christopher  Denise

The Boy and the Elephant by Freya Blackwood

It is Animal Book Round Up Time! Both books were read via an online reader copy.  The Knight Owl #2 Knight Owl and Early Bird is the second Knight Owl book by Christopher  Denise. (Though you must wait until mid October 2024 for it to be available.) We now have a young early bird who wants to be a Knight Owl as well, but of course, things do not work out as well as they would have liked. After all they are not an owl, […]

Buns on the run

Fluffle Bunnies V01 Buns Gone Bad by Anna Humphrey

Fluffle Bunnies V02 Big City Buns by Anna Humphrey

by Leave a Comment

Fluffle Bunnies V01 Buns Gone Bad is currently available, but I read it, and the sequel,  Fluffle Bunnies V02 Big City Buns, (due April 2025) via an online reader copy. Now, Anna Humphrey I will say you are probably a lovely person. I appreciate the hard work and time that goes into creating a book, even a quick read chapter book like this. However, I do not like your bunny siblings, Biggie, Boingy and Flop. Maybe kids will find things amusing, but I do not […]

Ironheart: the other metal superhero

Marvel-Verse: Ironheart by Eve L. Ewing and various

by Leave a Comment

Another book in the Marvel-Verse graphic novel series I found is Marvel-Verse: Ironheart by Eve L. Ewing, Brian Michael Bendis, Kevin Libranda, Luciano Vecchio, Marco Rudy, Nico Leon and a few others. I hadn’t planned on writing another Marvel review (even though I have read two of the baddies,  Marvel-Verse: Kang and Marvel-Verse: Kraven the Hunter, plus two of the Guardians of the Galaxy comics: Marvel-Verse: Rocket & Groot and Marvel-Verse: Guardians of the Galaxy. But honestly, I was not as impressed with them as I had […]

Marvel-Verse: Spider-Gwen: Ghost-Spider by Jason LaTour and various

Marvel-Verse: Spider-Woman by Marv Wolfman and various

by Leave a Comment

I recently found several series of graphic novels called Marvel-Verse that covered a variety of Marvel characters. And while I found villains, they are mostly the heroes. Since they are all similar (you get a few stories for each character as the feature and they do their thing. They range from 1960s classic, 1980s and even now), I can pretty much say: “Which Marvel character do you like?” You then answer and I can say Yes or No they have it. Of course there is […]

Definitely a Whole New World

The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah

by Leave a Comment

bcr16bingo rings As a child, and an early reader, I was totally hooked on fairy tales, especially the more obscure ones from Andrew Lang.  I loved his “color” collections – the Red Fairy Tale Book, the Purple Fairy Tale Book, the (I kid you not) Olive Fairy Tale Book.  There were so many of them but never enough.  Then later on, I branched out to fairy tale-adjacent, such as Bullfinch’s Mythology, and the Ricard Burton collection of the Arabian Nights.  So I had some knowledge […]

The Ghost of Memories

There's a Ghost in the Garden by Kyo Maclear

by Leave a Comment

There is a message inside of There’s a Ghost in the Garden by Kyo Maclear, but it is one that will be different for each reader. Also, it is okay if you just enjoy the words of Maclear, the flow of text and the illustrations (by Katty Maurey) without taking any meaning from them. It works on both levels allowing the reader to take what is needed at each listen and/or reading.  This can work for many ages, though it is for slightly older listeners/readers. […]
