A timely review for a book about Halloween.

Pumpkinheads by Rainbow Rowell & Faith Erin Hicks

December 22, 2019 by narfna Leave a Comment

Short and sweet 🙂 I really want to go to an effing pumpkin patch now. (I’ve never been! It’s not really a thing in the Southwest.) I actually read this back in September after it was first released, and I read it in about an hour in one sitting as I was drinking some coffee at Barnes & Noble. I didn’t remember much more than my major impressions, so I went ahead and re-read it just now ahead of writing this review. Some impressions: The […]

Parable of the Sower-Graphic Novel

Parable of the Sower by Damien Duffy

December 20, 2019 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So the thing is this is my least favorite of Butler’s works. The story had a lot of plot holes that the graphic novel of course cannot and does not fix. Taking place in 2025, we follow the character of Lauren Olamina and her family that are living in what remains of areas around Los Angeles. Told in the first person, we get Lauren’s “insights” into her family, […]

Summer Days…of privilege, learning, and growth

No Ivy League by Hazel Newlevant

December 17, 2019 by cheerbrarian Leave a Comment

I really want to be the kind of person that listens to NPR. It’s an elusive goal of mine that remains so, I have tried and I just can’t do it. I tell myself it’s because I can’t stand starting in the middle of something, so jumping to that dial on my commute is an ill prospect but I’m grasping at straws. I just have come to understand that I’m not that kind of grown up. However, my husband is a big fan, so legally […]

Here is the start of my Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles volumes 1-6 journey if you’re curious as to how this started.  The manga is rated 13+ but when I let my seven year old start reading it I couldn’t think of anything that would be inappropriate.  However, on this re-read I believe the rating is due to alcohol consumption.  It doesn’t happen often but the characters do indulge from time to time.  And as the ages of Syaoran and Sakura are not stated, and they seem […]

I began reading and collecting Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle when it was first released in 2004.  It is written and drawn by my favorite manga collective, CLAMP, a four woman team of artists and writers.  Over the years I slowed down my collecting but always intended to get the entire series.  When Borders went out of business, I grabbed as many of my missing volumes as they had but was four short of all twenty-eight.  Fast forward quite a few years later and my eight year old […]

Guts Raina

Guts is Great!

Guts by Raina Telgemeier

November 5, 2019 by Alexis 1 Comment

Raina Telgemeier is a comic artist who has created some all time greats (Drama, Smile, Sisters, Ghost) that fearlessly touch on topics most child/teen comics staunchly avoid – family struggles, LGBTQ characters, etc. Her latest is a semi-autobiographical story about a 12 year old who starts to struggle with anxiety. It starts one night when she throws up. The worst right? So she starts considering what caused her to throw up. Maybe she caught a bug from somebody else. Better not share snacks! Maybe it […]
