The Teen Titan story continues as we find our Starfire and Cyborg to round out the team in Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo’s fifth book, Teen Titans: Starfire. As much as I have enjoyed the series, this might be the weakest volume so far. It probably was because I had such high expectations for it. While I knew a little about the Robins (Dick and Damian) I wasn’t versed in Teen Titans. The first three graphic novels were good as I got to learn about […]

CBR15Passport own Between my planned vacation and my two days dealing with family health issues, I got a little reading done. I went for the lighter reading (with a few exceptions) but one of the lightest was Teen Titans: Robin (book four). Kami Garcia’s Teen Titan series has covered Raven, Beast Boy, Beast Boy and Raven (plus friends) and this time we meet the Robins. Or the Wayne’s. Well, the Wayne-Grayson combo. After learning about Raven and Beast Boy and their powers, and a bit […]

Finally we start to get into the meat and potatoes of the story of Raven and Beast Boy (or Garfield/Gar) with Teen Titans: Beast Boy Loves Raven (Teen Titans, #3). The first two books were Raven’s story “to now” and Beast Boy’s story “to now.” In fact, the third volume starts where the other two books left off. Kami Garcia and Gabriel Picolo create a Before They Were the Superhero’s The Teen Titans. Garcia makes a fresh story about teens coming of age. Just because […]

(I am so behind on my reviews here, but I guess it was good luck since I can return now that cbr11bingo is in swing – speaking of which, this is my entry for “ILLUSTRATED.”) This is my latest read from the DC graphic novels for young readers, and it was another good one! When a car accident leaves Raven Roth grieving her foster mother, she is also left with no memory of herself and is moved to New Orleans with her foster mother’s family […]

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 “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.
