Unicorns and cats and other stuff

Unicorn Crush: Another Phoebe and Her Unicorn Adventure by Dana Simpson

The First Cat in Space and the Soup of Doom by Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris

I like the series Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson. Now, I don’t like every book or even every “joke” but I like how Phoebe is a loveable (frankly) dork, that is way relatable, even as an adult. When I found an online reader copy for book 19, Unicorn Crush: Another Phoebe and Her Unicorn Adventure I was intrigued. It had been awhile since I had read one, so figured it was time. Now, there isn’t anything really “new” to talk about, Phoebe is […]

Wizkit the a one-eyed cat

Wizkit: An Adventure Overdue by Tanya J. Scott

March 15, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Wizkit: An Adventure Overdue by Tanya J. Scott is an actually terribly cute story that had a bit more punch than expected. This is a true case of not judging a book by its cover. At first glance I figured it would be silly and not have any real “meat” to it. Yet, I was happily surprised. The illustrations are sweet and simple, allowing focus to be on the story itself but allows for strong support as well. Things are colorful and draw your eye […]

Pancakes, britches and home

Pancakes for Findus (Findus and Pettson) by Sven Nordqvist

The Van Buren Sisters vs. the Pants Police by J.F. Fox

A Garden Called Home by Jessica J. Lee and Elaine Chen

January 31, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Picture books are a great way to read books and have fun as well. You not only read a book (and can read several in a day: Think of a tailor and some flies and “seven in one blow”), but you can learn something. Like how to make pancakes out of your pants, or what britches are, and even that some plants need snow to help them grow. And not only that, you can just have a delightful story you can solo read or read […]

CBR16SweetBooks #Binge Picture book binging is always a favorite activity of mine. I sat down at lunch one day and read four picture books from online reader copies. A Story No One Has Ever Heard Before by Avi Steinberg; Boys Don’t Fry by Kimberly Lee and illustrated by Charlene Chua; How Mr. Silver Stole the Show by Kate Klise and M. Sarah Klise on the illustrations and finally Pride: A Seek-and-Find Celebration: Adventure Through the History of the Queer Community illustrated by Diego Blanco, published by Epic Ink Books (due in mid/late April 2024). Well, I skimmed Pride and this is […]

Sailing with a cat, dog, parrot, rat and some humans

Trim Sets Sail by Deborah Hopkinson

Trim Helps Out by Deborah Hopkinson

Trim Saves the Day. by Deborah Hopkinson

Trim Sails the Storm by Deborah Hopkinson

#CBR16SweetBooks Binge (four books same series/read back-to-back) Recently I accidentally found myself bingeing a series when I found (in my old) online reading links to copies of Trim Helps Out and Trim Sets Sail by Deborah Hopkinson (the author of way too many wonderful books to name here) and illustrated by Kristy Caldwell (illustrator of some delightful other books such as two I enjoyed, Away with Words: The Daring Story of Isabella Bird and Flowers for Sarajevo). Both of the new found titles are from October 2023, and I read them out of order (as […]

Starter Villain by John Scalzi

September 7, 2023 by Emmalita 5 Comments

I really enjoyed Starter Villain, and then I put it aside for a couple of weeks (*cough*months*cough*) because I had other reviews that need to be written sooner, and when I came back to write this review, I had a warm fuzzy feeling, but nothing of substance to say. That’s not the worst thing I can say about a book – that all I remember is a good feeling. So I reread Starter Villain, and that was not a chore. I enjoyed it again, though I […]

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.
