When I told my nephew the zombies were looking for brains and we were safe, he didn’t get it

Plants vs. Zombies Volume 1: Lawnmageddon by Paul Tobin

October 6, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

One day I was with my oldest nephew and I thought I’d take him to the library and pick up a few books to read. I was having trouble getting him to engage (he’s special needs and this was way out of his routine, so it was expected). After I started grabbing a couple titles on a whim (covers do make a difference), we wandered to the checkout desk.  It was then I realized that maybe I had missed his interest level (one never knows […]

Well Halloween is coming up so this is a good time to talk about this book

The Last Halloween, Book 1: Children by Abby Howard

October 6, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When you like Halloween, the title The Last Halloween, Book 1: Children will catch your attention. It didn’t hurt that this was a big ol’ fat book. So, “Abby Howard” (I said) “you have yourself an interesting book. Okay that cover is a bit funky, but I’m a big kid, I can handle it.”  I’ll let you decide how well I did (or did not) handle it. Man! Is this one screwy book! There is nothing about it that is likable….yet it is a GREAT […]

She might have been lost, but she found herself

The Lost Daughter of Sparta by Felicia Day

October 3, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Lost Daughter of Sparta by Felicia Day was started as an online reader copy. It would also be finished that way, however, I did not realize the first copy I had was only a sample. After asking if there was a chance for a physical copy, I was informed that there was a finished copy online. Finally! So what should have been a couple of lunches was a several month endeavor. But regardless, I was going to finish this reimagined Greek myth.  When I […]

Cover of Goodnight Punpun volume 1

Goodnight Punpun, vol. 1 by Inio Asano

October 1, 2025 by vega-table Leave a Comment

Bingo Row 3 – G You know that thing where you go to a book swap to get rid of books, but they don’t let you unless you actually swap and take books with you? Maybe it’s just me. Well that’s how I ended up with a volume of Inio Asano’s acclaimed Goodnight Punpun. Punpun looks like a cross between a bird and someone in a sheet dressed like a ghost. His family is also part of this bird ghost species; everyone else is a […]

Cover of Dogsred volume 1

He’s too violent for figure skating, but does he dance too much for hockey? No.

Dogsred, vols. 1-3 by Satoru Noda

September 30, 2025 by vega-table Leave a Comment

Bingo Row 4 – Border Dogsred by Satoru Noda is kind of the only other work from the man who did Golden Kamuy, my absolute favorite manga and anime and possibly my favorite series, book, story, and thing that another human created. I say kinda because Dogsred is a re-do of Noda’s first published series – Supinamarada! But Golden Kamuy is the sort of thing I gravitate towards with a mix of history, adventure, human rights, and wackiness. Dogsred – a series about high school […]

Unremarkable? Not anymore, Brian Reyes!

Unicorn Boy Volume One by Dave Roman

September 29, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

One weekend I had no energy to do anything but move my eyes across a page, as I sat and turned pages of a book. Therefore, I sat on my porch, propped a book onto the table that lives there and read Unicorn Boy Volume One by Dave Roman. Which if the cutesy cover didn’t clue you in to the fact that it is a super fluffy and light book, the title would have. Not to say it is bad, but for an adult who had […]
