I am Batman…. ?

The Night Defenders by Danielle K. Herker

February 28, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The internet can be a fun and interesting place. I belong to a group on Facebook that is bat related. Mostly there are cute bat pictures, or someone showing a bat item they have or found. Once or twice we even get news about bats. (Mostly it is adorable bat pictures.) One day a member posted about her book The Night Defenders. Danielle K. Herker told us the Evil Empire was selling it. And since I was curious about it, I did a little research […]

An ant and adventures

Ant Story by Jay Hosler

February 27, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

A recent library trip ended up in three books being picked out. One I realized I had already read, so I didn’t read it again, but figured someday I probably should. It’s a good book, fun and simple. Nothing WOW but one that allows for a comfort read. The one book I might not read again, but maybe read sequels, is Ant Story by Jay Hosler. The phrase don’t judge a book by its cover is probably an understatement here. I figured with the cute cartoon […]

Building a Beak: How a Toucan's Rescue Inspired the World by Becca McMurdie

February 13, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

We can have artificial intelligence, limbs, and more for humans and we can even have a 3-D printed beak for a toucan. Don’t believe me? Then read all about it in Building a Beak: How a Toucan’s Rescue Inspired the World by Becca McMurdie and illustrated by Diana Hernández due in June 2025. (I had the opportunity to read it via an online reader copy). Not to spoil things, but I will say that how a toucan got a life saving “nose job” is probably […]

A few weeks ago one of my cousins texted me to inform me that she left some books at her mothers place she thought I might like. I thanked her but then forgot about it. A few days later, there were a few books on the table (my dad had stopped by her place and was elected the delivery boy). They were these larger, square, white covered books called Cockatiels for Two: A Book of Cat Cartoons by Leo Cullum and Tequila Mockingbird: A Book […]

Chloe, Maude and Sandra

Chloe and Maude, by Sandra Boynton

February 5, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Chloe and Maude, written and illustrated by Sandra Boynton, is a cute early reader in the line of Frog and Toad or other best friend silliness. The art of Boynton has all the feels she is known for. This is a collection of a handful of short stories that include two besties, Chloe and Maude. They do best friend things, have fun, even pretend. For the adult reader, things are oversimplified and repetitive, but this is good for the early/starting to read solo reader and/or […]

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.
