“Batgirl, Batgirl! Batgirl, Batgirl! Where do you come from, where do you go? What is your scene, baby, we just gotta know”

The crew: by Becky Cloonan, Michael Conrad, Neil Googe (Artist), Robbi Rodriguez (Artist), Scott Godlewski (Inker), Wayne Faucher (Inker), Rico Renzi (Colorist), Becca Carey (Letterer) I have a habit of finding book or volume two in a series. This time I found Batgirls Volume 2: Bat Girl Summer. In my defense, I did not see volume two on it anyplace, just Bat Girl. And Batgirl on the cover. I was looking for something different from my usual graphic novels and while it is not high […]

Samantha Newsom is leaving her shift as a nurse to help assist in the suicide of her terminally ill uncle Gil at the beginning of this story. It’s quite a tone to set immediately. The next morning, Sam gets a call that her uncle has died (duh), but nobody suspects any foul play. Hot take – you should be allowed to decide when you and how you die if you’re terminally ill. But that’s a topic for another time. Sam heads back out to Gil’s […]

I borrowed this book from a coworker a while ago. As I’ve stated previously, I have trouble with actual books. I read the most in my bed in the dark on my Kindle. Real books hurt when they hit you in the face because you fell asleep reading them. I have a feeling I might make some more time to read real books in my new house though. I’m moving in at the end of the month, and this is just one of the many […]

The Bones of Me by Kel Duckhouse

cbr15bingo Violence I misplaced my finished copy of The Bones of Me after having a slow start with it, but once I was able to sit down and read without too many interruptions, it started to move. The mixture of prose and prose poetry can be a bit off putting, but it fits the idea of things. Perhaps things can be a bit too cliché in places, but it would have been a book I loved ages (at least) 12 and up. There is some […]

Billie Blaster and the Robot Army from Outer Space by Laini Taylor

cbr15bingo On the air: Spaceship in space because a signal from an old robot friend is sent back to Earth that starts Billie’s adventures Billie Blaster and the Robot Army from Outer Space is a good solid 3.5 rating. It was not “OMG Best book ever!” but I enjoyed it. The humor is typical kid, there is a message (though maybe slightly glossed over), and there is a fun premise (though I really really wish there was a particular room on the spaceship….) Overall, ages […]

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.

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.
