Here are reviews for the books I read in July that I didn’t have time or energy to do a full review on. Note: I was out of work in July so I read a lot. The Woman in Cabin 10 *** Read this while on a cruise ship and it definitely gave me some interesting feelings! A relatively entertaining thriller. I’d read another Ruth Ware book but wouldn’t rush out to do so From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes From Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen**** […]

Friends say Meow

Angel in Beijing by Belle Yang

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Belle Yang’s Angel in Beijing is really a simple story, but it is busy and filled with goodies. A young fil finds a cat one night, and after a while, they just name the cat Kitty (as no other name seem to fit). But one day, Kitty runs off. And not even the child’s bell on her bike, that Kitty loves to meow along with, seems to bring her home. But then again, home can have many meanings. And sometimes a surprise like finding a […]

All Cats Are On the Autism Spectrum by Kathy Hoopmann

July 16, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

This is the book my one sister says she used to help her daughter understand her brother’s autism, since she loves cats. It’s funny because I’d had more or less the same thought as the title of this book, going so far as to google variations of it, numerous times. The thought occurred to me that it seemed like people on the spectrum, children especially, tended to gravitate towards cats more than dogs, and my brain went from that thought to “well, naturally, because they’re […]

We’re talking kings and successions

Warriors: Winds of Change by Erin Hunter

June 28, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Warriors: Winds of Change is an enjoyable graphic novel story. Even though, it can be a standalone title, I probably needed to have a little more background about the Warriors series and their world to understand some of the backstory of where the characters are from. There are several points about their religion, the idea of littermates and the rivalry between clans though might have been cleared up. Yet, the stronger reader could pick up some of that while reading. Erin Hunter’s anthropomorphic cats are […]

One flighty cat

Professor Astro Cat's Frontiers of Space (This Is a Reissue of a Previous Edition) by Dominic Walliman

June 9, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Professor Astro Cat’s Frontiers of Space (This Is a Reissue of a Previous Edition) has much in the way of scientific facts which are seriously presented but are paired with very cartoon illustrations.  The text in Dominic Walliman’s book is long, dense, and not for all readers. The serious tone of the wording would work for a more serious reader/learner, but the cartoon art might turn them off. Of course, the student might be drawn to the cartoons and that will keep their attention with […]
