Recently a coworker asked us to send some of our favorite Banned and Challenged book titles and a little snippet about it and/or why we love it. I emailed her back and said did she want them alphabetically, order of importance or just my favorite? How did I approach it? I thought, send a few favorite author(s), but that was too many. Just every book I read that has been B-and/or-C? Way too many to do. Therefore I said “Make it simple.” And found a […]
Yep, just cats and games. CBRBINGO – Play
Cat + Gamer, Vol. 1 by Wataru Nadatani
Cat + Gamer, Vol. 2 by Wataru Nadatani
Cat + Gamer, Vol. 3 by Wataru Nadatani
Firstly, big thanks to vega-table for the heads up that this even exists! I was having trouble finding a book that would work for this BINGO square, and this was just so perfect, because it’s short and easy to read, and it’s about cats. My library system actually has quite a bit of manga in it’s catalog, and that’s how I read most of the manga I have read. Luckily they had this one, too, and it was free! God bless libraries and librarians. Protect […]
Caught up with the X-Men… For now
Phoenix, vol. 1 by Stephanie Phillips, Alessandro Miracolo
Storm, vol. 1 by Murewa Ayodele, Lucas Werneck
Psylocke, vol. 1 by Alyssa Wong, Vincento Carraru
Magik, vol. 1 by Ashley Allen, German Peralta
Bingo Row 2 – diaspora Earlier this year, I made an effort to get back into the X-Men. Then current events happened and I decided to abort the catch up. But not before I got a sampling of the first volumes from some solo titles. (I wrote most of this before Disney put Kimmel back.) One of my favorite things about the X-Men is that the characters came from everywhere. Retrospectively, it was the closest thing I saw to my own family being represented in […]
‘Tis the Season
Batman The Long Halloween: the Prequel Haunted Knight by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale
I happened to see this at our local library as part of a Halloween Readings display. A long long time ago, I read a whole lotta Batman, including Loeb’s Hush, which I recall thinking was very good. Hush was drawn by the brilliant Jim Lee, which made the reading all the more interesting. There was a time when I read DC graphic novels regularly, but I got kind of tired of it and found other reading more to my liking. While this “prequel” to The […]
Mesmerizing roller coaster
Cry Wolf Girl by Ariel Slamet Ries
I think I dislike everything about this book, Cry Wolf Girl, yet it was an amazing read. I just could not put it down. There are no natural breaks so it was not like I could stop at the end of a chapter but that didn’t matter. I just wanted to gobble it up. The book makes you think, feel and question. There are clearly marked paths we are taking, but things are not straight forward. It is artistic. It is not what you think […]
Saving Seprant Guardians, culture and the Earth
The Search for Gluscap (Adventures of the Pugulatmu’j) Volume 2 by Brandon Mitchell, Kielamel Sibal and Veronika Barinova
The Search for Gluscap (Adventures of the Pugulatmu’j) is volume two in the series. They are both written by Brandon Mitchell, Kielamel Sibal (letterer), and Veronika Barinova (illustrator). This book assumes you have read the first volume (Giju’s Gift), so I do recommend reading it first. But I have not read book one, but I am curious how the characters are introduced as we have a Native girl and a spiritual being that will guide us along who we are already supposed to know the […]
