Run: Races and Trails Around the World by Rachel Laidler and Elspeth Beidas

March 30, 2024 by ASKReviews Leave a Comment

Best for: People who like to travel to their run, or who are looking for some inspiration. In a nutshell: One hundred runs and trails of varying lengths, spread across every continent (yes, even that one). Worth quoting: N/A Why I chose it: It was a birthday gift. Review: I’ve been running for about 15 years now. In those years I’ve run 15 half marathons, and some of the best have been ones I’ve traveled for. There was one in the Black Country near Birmingham, […]

Horror 101 and Comedy 102

Boys Weekend by Mattie Lubchansky

March 26, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Boys Weekend is Horror 101 with Comedy 102. The mix of GLBTQ themes, friendship, love, family, and an odd cult-religion all play together with first the idea of humanity, society roles and more that is taking front stage. You can take the action as a straightforward  horror/thriller story or take it for a deeper meaning, but however you take it know there are possible triggers, such as violence, guns, sexual situations, visual gross-outs and blood. Lots of blood. Totally not for everyone, but everyone might […]

Step up to the Plate

Out of Left Field by Jonah Newman

March 26, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I saw the online reader’s copy of Out of Left Field, several months ago and I saved the link for a rainy day. And recently I saw that it was due soon (the end of March 2024 to be precise) and figured I better give it a shot or I would probably lose the chance. What started as a memoir for Jonah Newman, turned into a fiction rendition of his life. Things are clever, humorous, cozy, familiar, fresh, and relatable. Things move quickly enough in […]

Well, I’ve got some thinking to do…

Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity by Devon Price, PhD

March 25, 2024 by jessisreading 10 Comments

When my therapist asked if I had read Unmasking Autism a few weeks ago, I knew my whole mentality towards a lot of things was about to change. So I put it on hold at the library…but then I couldn’t wait so I downloaded the audiobook on Libro.FM and bought a print copy the next time I was at B&N. From the start, I had a whole new way of looking at what my life had looked like for nearly four decades, and what that might […]

Different person, same love

Every Day: The Graphic Novel by David Levithan

March 22, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When you’ve worked in kids and young adult books as long as I have, you learn some “big names” of the biz. One I knew I never had to read (but probably should because they were good) was David Levithan. I recommended them on repetition alone. Therefore, when the opportunity came to read Every Day: The Graphic Novel I knew the Reading Gods were telling me to go for it. First, a graphic novel (a favorite reading genre for several years now) and second, David […]

Based on a true story

Rostam's Picture-Day Pusteen by Ryan Bani Tahmaseb

March 21, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Rostam’s Picture-Day Pusteen by Ryan Bani Tahmaseb and illustrated by Fateme Mokhles is a read via an online reader copy, due in July 2024 book that really hit the spot. It is diverse and the theme of being different with a positive attitude from the start gives it a fresh take.  Rostam is a newly immigrated child. His mother and he are starting fresh, while his father is still in Iran, and is to join them as soon as he can. In the meantime, the […]
