Buns on the run

Fluffle Bunnies V01 Buns Gone Bad by Anna Humphrey

Fluffle Bunnies V02 Big City Buns by Anna Humphrey

August 29, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Fluffle Bunnies V01 Buns Gone Bad is currently available, but I read it, and the sequel,  Fluffle Bunnies V02 Big City Buns, (due April 2025) via an online reader copy. Now, Anna Humphrey I will say you are probably a lovely person. I appreciate the hard work and time that goes into creating a book, even a quick read chapter book like this. However, I do not like your bunny siblings, Biggie, Boingy and Flop. Maybe kids will find things amusing, but I do not […]

The Lonely Book by Meg Grehan

August 12, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I know it is odd to start a review with a negative, but I want to get it out of the way. I did not like The Lonely Book as much as Meg Grehan’s other titles. This one felt younger than the ones I have read and I was expecting something more mature. With that said, I still enjoyed this addition to their collection of prose poetry novels. Most of Grehan’s books deal with LGBTQ+ issues as well as mental health. This time we are […]

Two books. Two different Series. One review.

Baby-Sitters Little Sister Graphic Novel: V08 Karen's Sleepover by Ann M. Martin

The Wings of Fire V06 Moon Rising by Tui T. Sutherland

August 9, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Series are pluses and minuses in my book. You can continue with characters you like, you can grow and change with them; you can learn from their mistakes and they can become like friends. But if you end on a cliffhanger, you have to wait. And sometimes wait and wait!  And sometimes the series is a take off from another series and you need to do a little catch up.  But the nice thing about the Baby-Sitters Little Sister Graphic Novel is that you do […]

Walk on the Wild side with magic

Amulet Volume 9: Waverider by Kazu Kibuishi

August 2, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Amulet Series by Kazu Kibuishi was a big hit when it first appeared on the shelves of my bookstore, and I understood why, even though at the time I was just starting to get into graphic novels and fantasy was something I was reading again. It had a lot of pop and mystery. Things were fantasy, but had elements that were relatable, they even could be considered believable even though things were fantasy all the way. And the main character was also spunky and […]

Finding wings

Bird by Kristin Rosetta Elliott Hood

August 2, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Through the site that I get most of my online readers, I found several older titles. And by older I mean as far back as even 2002. The publisher was reissuing a few things I was assuming, but that is always fun as you never know what you will find. One of those books, that I almost did not read, was Bird by Kristin Rosetta Elliott Hood and illustrated by Shadra Strickland. This was one from 2017. This book was at first something that seemed […]

Putting the IN in Introvert and the Ex…. never mind….

The Verts: A Story of Introverts and Extrovert by Ann Patchett

August 2, 2024 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I know little to nothing about the author Ann Patchett. I’ve heard they are: YES BEST EVER! And they are: NO DON’T READ EVER! I leave it up to you to decide if The Verts: A Story of Introverts and Extroverts by Patchett is for you. Due in mid-September 2024, I read this picture book via an online reader copy. I had debated if I wanted to read it as the subject is one I care about, but am very picky about how it is […]
