My addition is being feed with books to read

Hello Face by Aya Khalil

Can You Find Doug’s Dog? by Jane Caston

Firefly Galaxy by Sarah Nelson

March 15, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

My bookdealer came through for me again. This time I had around a half dozen finished, real life, copies of titles (though all are officially due April 2024).  I will start with Hello Body! Hello Face! (or Hello Face! Hello Body! I’ve seen it both ways) as it was the one that slipped out of the package first, and since I had a few minutes, read first. However, the rest were longer, and as I was at work, wait I must!  Hello Face by Aya […]

Hungry or thirsty? Read a book.

Brains! Not Just a Zombie Snack by Stacy McAnulty

Blood! Not Just a Vampire Drink by Stacy McAnulty

May 13, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Good thing I am not a zombie, as it would have made me very hungry to see the delicious brain in all its glory on the pages of Brains! Not Just a Zombie Snack by Stacy McAnulty. Our zombie friend/chef is the nicest zombie you will ever meet, but you better not even let them smell your brain as it is a very important item for our survival (such as running away from zombies and telling us to get our thumb out of a vampire’s […]

This isn’t mom & dad’s sex book (You might learn something this time)

Let’s Talk About It: The Teen’s Guide to Sex, Relationships, and Being a Human (a graphic novel) by Erika Moen and Matthew Nolan

January 4, 2022 by BlackRaven 4 Comments

Let’s Talk About It: The Teen’s Guide to Sex, Relationships, and Being a Human (a graphic novel) is a WOW book. With the modern design and way to talk about The Big S, Erika Moen and Matthew Nolan show that it is not just about “slot A and tab B” anymore. There is a whole amazing, confusing, weird, and good time there. This book covers the basics (yes, I know what to do but what do you do) to consent; to exploring yourself (literally), to […]

Listen to your guts

Science Comics: The Digestive System: A Tour Through Your Guts by Jason Viola

December 14, 2021 by BlackRaven 2 Comments

I was going to use this Science Comics: The Digestive System: A Tour Through Your Guts by Jason Viola for the Bingo Machine category. But I had a hard time finishing the book. Not because it was bad, but because I had little interest in the subject (which is why I tried it. If I could learn something or enjoy it, then I knew it was a good book). But that means I need to concentrate on things, making me take my time to get […]
