DC Super Hero Girls V05: Out of the Bottle Graphic Novel. by Shea Fontana

February 23, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was looking for something fun, light, and easy to read. And though I noticed awhile back that the last two times I took out books from the library I ended up in the ER, I decided to take a chance. I picked out five titles (with a sixth in case one was not available) and ended up with four. Good average and considering the one I am reading; I probably will not be getting through them all too soon. Therefore, I picked up first […]

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Toph Beifong’s Metalbending by Faith Erin Hicks

February 22, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I admit it, Toph in the Avatar the Last Airbender series was never my favorite character. I appreciated her and sometimes even her “Devil-may-care” attitude, but her humor (she said it as it is about a good toenail picking) was usually spot on. But I do not think she and I would have been “real life” friends. Therefore, when I saw that she was getting her own book, I was not sure I wanted to read it. However, I am up for almost anything ALA […]

The Disney Characters in the image have nothing to do with the book, I was bored.

Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara and the Pirates’ Silver by Faith Erin Hicks

January 6, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

All you need to know is that Avatar: The Last Airbender: Katara and the Pirates’ Silver is about Katara and pirates. And it is created by Faith Erin Hicks, Peter Wartman and Adele Matera. But if you need more, our Avatar and his friends Sokka and Toph have a side story, that deals with a Fire Nation/Fire Bender Solider. This man, of course, believes the lies the nation has created about the Air Benders. And Ang takes it upon himself to try and change his […]

See you yesterday Lizzie

Doctor Who: The Runaway Tardis by Kim Smith

cbr12bingo I wish I told someone today I am a “baby geek.” I can tell you the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek. I know Tom Baker is the “Doctor with the Scarf” and knew I would laugh alone when someone said I was a Shield Agent due to my required mask being a face shield, and them not getting the connection. And the Pop Classics book series (popular culture such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Back to the Future, and X-Files in a […]

We Are the Justice League! (DC Justice League) by DC Comics

March 31, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I like Super-Heroes. But for movies, I tend to be Marvel over DC, but my heart will always belong to Adam West, Burt Ward, Frank Gorshin, Julie Newmar, Burgess Meredith and Cesar Romero. Yes, 1960’s Batman with all the BAM! POW! And KRACK! I will always have a soft sport for DC characters. And in We Are the Justice League by DC Comics/Random House, your child (grades first to (lower) third grade) can be introduced or continue their love. Included in We Are the Justice […]

Based on THAT Baby Shark…but you might be surprised

Baby Shark: Baby Shark and the Balloons by Pinkfong

January 15, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I admit it, I hate Baby Shark. That nonsense makes me wonder about the future of American children. Therefore, I only picked up this easy reader, Baby Shark: Baby Shark and the Balloons, out of a morbid curiosity to see how they could write a story about “doo-doo-doo”. However, I learned that this book is a little funny and mostly well done. Pinkfong has created just a simple story about Baby Shark being bored as they cannot locate their friends. But of course, there is […]

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.
