BOOKS! BOOKS! And…. well that’s it. Only two books.

I Love My Fangs! by Kelly Leigh Miller

Dinosong by Tim McCanna

February 5, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Two books that can be given to the child this Valentine’s Day: because we love books, teeth, vampires, and dinosaurs. Or, these are good if you are looking for something fun and few to read. I Love My Fangs! Well, actually, if I did have fangs, I would. You see, I am one of those odd people who never had “canine” teeth. I had teeth in that area but never those fangs I so admire in our hero young Dracula. And he really loves them, […]

This is factual, not just farting (but who doesn’t enjoy a good fart?)

Jop and Blip Wanna Know V01: Can You Hear a Penguin Fart on Mars? And Other Excellent Questions by Jim Benton

January 21, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

June/July 2021 cannot come soon enough! I want to recommend Jop and Blip Wanna Know V01: Can You Hear a Penguin Fart on Mars? And Other Excellent Questions ALL THE TIME. Jim Benton created a non-fiction question book done in a humorous fiction way. I am sure more than one kid has wondered if you can hear a penguin fart like grandma does, why do we have two nostrils and if dragons are real. You will learn this and more (such as who invented the […]

Everything Awesome about Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Beasts! by Mike Lowery

October 29, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I could not finish Everything Awesome about Dinosaurs and Other Prehistoric Beasts! by Mike Lowery not because it was bad, but because it was awesome and I had to go back to work and not sit and read. Also, (long story, please get comfy) this was part of a set of books we received that were free from an online event at work. I decided to do the nice thing and give them to some people who had some other free swag coming to them. Therefore, […]

A Heart of Blood and Ashes by Milla Vane

September 25, 2020 by Malin 3 Comments

Official book description: A generation past, the western realms were embroiled in endless war. Then the Destroyer came. From the blood and ashes he left behind, a tenuous alliance rose between the barbarian riders of Parsathe and the walled kingdoms of the south. That alliance is all that stands against the return of an ancient evil – until the barbarian king and queen are slain in an act of bloody betrayal. Though forbidden by the alliance council to kill the corrupt king responsible for […]

Neat.

A Grown-Up Guide to Dinosaurs by Ben Garrod

October 16, 2019 by crystalclear Leave a Comment

Ok, so I just finished listening to this today (when I wrote this review, which is actually being posted months later). These are the things I remember from the audiobook. To be fair, I was listening on my commute to work, so some distraction from listening is to be expected, you know, because I was driving a vehicle. Thing 1: Part of what makes a dinosaur a dinosaur has to do with the hips. Dinosaurs evolved to have their hips configured in a way […]

I am Bigger than You!

July 26, 2018 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I like the publisher description of “this picture book…puts a fresh spin on playground dynamics.” I do not know if “conflict resolution” is really obtained by the children (or in this case dinosaurs) as a mother dinosaur steps in, but it is very much how children are. Be it that they are on the school or public playground or with their siblings, cousins or friends. The smallest feels “big” but, yes, there is someone bigger. And then yes, there is someone bigger than them and […]

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.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
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.
