Grand Slam Romance Volume 1 by Ollie Hicks, Emma Oosterhous

July 14, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr17bingo PLAY Grand Slam Romance Volume 1 by Ollie Hicks, Emma Oosterhous (Illustrator), and Wren Rios (Flatter) Where is this world of only lesbians and queer presenting people? While things are not “harping” on the queer elements, there is no question that the majority of the characters (there is one heteronormal male-presenting character) are queer. Gender also gets time up as they might want to be called a Femme Daddy, or He is a bada$$, but they are all putting the X in StriXe! Yet, […]

A mirror of the reviewer’s life

Cat + Gamer, vols. 1-7 by Nadatani, Wataru

July 11, 2025 by vega-table 1 Comment

Guess I’m trying out bingo. Row 2 – Play. Usually when I relate to a fictional character it’s because of something unpleasant. Like that shitty thing that happened to them also happened to me. But with Cat + Gamer I now have a character I can say I’m like without making awkward ice breaker questions even more awkward. Cat + Gamer is a manga series by Wataru Nadatani. Seven volumes have been released in English; the eighth and final translated volume is expected later this […]

I recommend BINGO and this book

The Last Time We Spoke: A Story of Loss by Jesse Mechanic

July 11, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr17bingo Rec’d: Grief stories are not new, but each is unique to that person. The main thing I came away with from reading The Last Time We Spoke: A Story of Loss, is that the author (Jesse Mechanic) is human: selfish, loving, scared, fearless, angry and hopeful. They are both a reliable and unreliable narrator as they are telling the story from their eyes and over a 20 year period. The art is tone setting and allows us a peek into the mind of someone […]

Very is very good at all things…. except math

Very Bad at Math by Hope Larson

July 11, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr17bingo School There have been days when I haven’t wanted to do any reading of late and then days when all I can do is read. Very Bad at Math by Hope Larson was part of one of those reading days. It is a graphic novel that is a coming of age story, therefore it has many of the familiar goodies, with a few new elements to keep it fresh. Everyone will have their own take on things due to their experiences and where they […]

And you thought your Nanny was a strict monster!

The Sleepover: A Graphic Novel by Michael Regina

July 10, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr17bingo Black (the cover is mostly black and dark colors) The graphic novel, The Sleepover: A Graphic Novel by Michael Regina, reminds me of the RL Stine Goosebumps series or the Are You Afraid of the Dark? Series (or something similar as I know there are several thriller/horror reads out there). Things are spooky, but not necessarily over the top, but also things are not for the sensitive reader. It deals with grief (death of a caregiver who was like a grandmother to the family), […]

Read about Cabin Head and Tree Head along with Automobile Head, Volcano Head, Library Head, Trash Can Head, Pool Head and more

Cabin Head and Tree Head, Book #1 by Scott Campbell

July 10, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr17bingo Review Don’t judge a book by its cover does not apply to Cabin Head and Tree Head, Book #1 by Scott Campbell. You see this cover and you know exactly what you will be getting into. It is odd, not necessarily a good quirky, and really off beat. And if that is your thing, then go for it. Even though everyone at work seemed to be reading and enjoying it a lot, I kept passing it by. The whole look turned me off to […]

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.
