Ocean! Waves for All? by Stacey McAnulty

Our Planet! There’s No Place Like Earth? by Stacey McAnulty

Earth! My First 4.54 billion Years by Stacey McAnulty

Sun! One in a Billion? by Stacey McAnulty

Mars! Earthlings Welcome by Stacey McAnulty

May 20, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Stacey McAnulty has caused me great stress. I cannot decide which of her books I liked best in the Our Universe series. Was it Ocean! Waves for All? Or was it Our Planet! There’s No Place Like Earth? Or even Earth! My First 4.54 billion Years (the first in the series)? Or the Sun! One in a Billion? Or even Mars! Earthlings Welcome. Each one is a lovely, funny, and educational way to learn about the planets, stars and more. Each subject tells their own […]

The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza by Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris

April 5, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The First Cat in Space Ate Pizza by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Shawn Harris is a fun but bad kids jokes read. There are puns, fun, pizza, moon dust, and poetry writing/quoting worms to name a few things that this Instagram started story has. Barnett and Harris decided to take a cat (who has the great line of “meow”) through a story set on the moon. The cat is sent by some Earth scientists and generals (with interesting colloquialism) and is to stop the […]

The Perfect Astrology 101 Course

You Were Born For This: Astrology for Radical Self-Acceptance by Chani Nicholas

January 14, 2020 by randirock 2 Comments

I bought this book, because Chani Nicholas is amazing. I loved this book, because Chani Nicholas is amazing. So many poo-poo astrology. I used to be one of those people. Three-ish years ago, I began venturing into spirituality, something I had hidden away for over a decade due to terrible experiences with the Catholic Church and scrupulosity (Another story for another day.)  With this journey, I discovered the true nature of astrology – not the boiled-down, pop culture fluff – rather, a tool for self-reflection […]

A Tarnished Reflection

Moon by James Herbert

December 8, 2019 by Caesar's Wife 2 Comments

When my uncle passed away a few years ago, he left behind a wealth of novels to read. In the days that followed his funeral, his friends and family were welcomed into his home and encouraged to seize a momento.  My uncle and I have always shared a love of the macabre, so I was not surprised to find an impressive collection of horror novels on his jumbled shelves. One of the titles I picked up through the fog of grief that day was Moon. […]
