Take me to Sugar Town

Sugar Town by Hazel Newlevant

by Leave a Comment

I can’t give Sugar Town by Hazel Newlevant a pure four, but my feelings and likes make things  closer to a four than a three. The nice thing about the book is that each reader can find what they are looking for within the stories. Sometimes I like our characters, sometimes not. Would I be friends with them? Probably not, but I think we could be good acquaintances. I like the look into Hazel’s world. The mixture of events shows a good look into human […]

You’re never too old to come of age.

Motherlover by Lindsay Ishihiro

by Leave a Comment

Motherlover by Lindsay Ishihiro was sent to me from an Iron Circus Comics email. I was not specially targeted but that was fine. After all, I find some of my favorite reads because of things like this. Now, I was a little turned off first of all by the fact it was being promoted as a romance and a non-spicy romance graphic novel, slow burn one at that. But I have been trying to step outside my reading comfort zone, so why not give it […]

Out of this world pizza and more

Pizza Witch by Sarah Graley and Stef Purenins

Inclusion, CBR17 Pie Chart Challenge I find books mostly as reader copies and finished copies. Now, I try to have the reader copies physically in hand (it’s easier for me to read) but sometimes (and a lot more lately) I must settle for an online reader copy. And Pizza Witch by Sarah Graley and Stef Purenins came to me in an email that sent me to the graphic novels link to read. Due in mid September 2025, you’ll have a bit to wait before you […]

All’s fair in love, war, and tug of war

Love and War by Andrew Wheeler

by Leave a Comment

Inclusion CBR17 Pie Chart Challenge Once upon a time, I was on the Evil Empire site and it said that I could “buy” a copy of Love and War by Andrew Wheeler, Killian Ng (illustrator), and the rest of the gang (it takes a wonderful village to make a graphic novel) as an e-book. However, I hope I didn’t use actual money or even real points from my credit card as I don’t buy e-books (long story). Especially since when I was cleaning up that […]

Love is Love and Hate is Hate

Ritu Weds Chandni by Ameya Narvankar

by Leave a Comment

Diversity The CBR17 Pie Chart Challenge Ritu Weds Chandni by Ameya Narvankar is currently available. However, I found an old online  reader copy to read. I thought I had read it before, but it did not feel familiar to me. Therefore I think I just looked at it and “put it aside.” Thankfully I did find it again as it takes a couple of familiar themes but adds a modern take to them, and I was in the right mood for it as well, as […]

Getting schooled and then some

Sparks Volume 1: Portals by REVEL GUTS

by Leave a Comment

While starting off strong, Sparks Volume 1: Portals turned into a dragged on middle to end story.  Perhaps it would be better to read all volumes that will be included at once, but who knows. However, I should have realized with an author name like REVEL GUTS, this was not going to be the usual reading. Let’s get the warnings/possible triggers out of the way: They include (but not limited to) course language, some sexual situations, drug and alcohol use, vomit, and missing students the […]
