My dealer keeps me supplied in good books

Whatever Comes Tomorrow by Rebecca Gardyn Levington

April 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport author Some people have a bad habit called Book Collecting. I have a bad habit and a dealer from Barefoot Books. They keep me in fun books like Whatever Comes Tomorrow. Rebecca Gardyn Levington is the author of this book I have added to my piles of reading material. And the illustrations are done by Mariona Cabassa (whom I will be finding other works by). And this book is a simple book but has a lot of fun things going on. It is […]

Making friends wherever you go

Twice as Many Friends / El Doble de Amigos by Brian Amador

April 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport author Full disclosure, I did not access the audio and video links for Twice as Many Friends / El Doble de Amigos therefore, I cannot tell you anything about that. However, I do think that I would have enjoyed this book by Brian Amador, Vanina Starkoff and Sol y Canto more if I had heard it performed. This is not to say this book about friendship and how opening yourself up to other languages, places, and people is not good, it is terribly good. […]

Yippe for Ype (oh you know I’m not the first to say that joke!)

The Last Gay Man on Earth by Ype Driessen

April 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport country The Last Gay Man on Earth is both too short and just the right length for reading. And while I did want more, I figure I can wait for the sequel. Ype Driessen allows us to look into his life of crazy, wonderful people, places and his own imposter syndrome (and by the way, he has imposter syndrome about having imposter syndrome). I fell in love with him a few pages in (the work was not going to get done because he was […]

The Sparrow Girl

Pardalita by Joana Estrela

April 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport country The graphic novel Pardalita is slightly more sophisticated Heartstoppers, but with two female characters. Now, I am not saying that Alice Oseman’s graphic novel series is not sophisticated, or serious, but it has a lighter tone due to the differences in style. The graphic novel by Joana Estrela (and translated by Lyn Miller-Lachmann) has sparse text and art that makes this a more artistic exploration of one girl and the crush she has on the title character. It is emotional with an oddly […]

And you thought you had some crappy chores and great friends

The Fabled Stables Book 1: Willa the Wisp by Jonathan Auxier

April 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport ownIn a book of the month subscription I had, the book The Fabled Stables Book 1: Willa the Wisp was a selection. The author Jonathan Auxier sounded familiar, and the art of Olga Demidova looked fun, so I decided to keep and read. However, I was never in the mood for a fantasy book about a blue rabbit (I did not really pay attention to the title, so now I know she is a wisp, not a rabbit), until the other day. I figured […]

I wrote a review about books I read

Diary of a Wimpy Kid V15 The Deep End by Jeff Kinney

Fairylight Friends V01 A Magic Spark by Jessica Young

April 11, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I know I can only use CBR15Passport own for one book, but I do own both of these titles Diary of a Wimpy Kid V15 The Deep End is one I picked up awhile back, and Fairylight Friends V01 A Magic Spark I have had a few copies of. This time, I read the one that came in a book of the month subscription I had. I think the other copy I read was from a return the store was (unfortunately) doing. Regardless of how […]

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.
