Fangirl, Vol. 1: The Manga by Rainbow Rowell

by 4 Comments

Thank you to the person (I have forgotten your name! Sorry!) that said the Fangirl novel by Rainbow Rowell would work for the cbr16bingo Fanfic category! I knew that I could probably read that as it is a young adult and I like young adult reads, so win-win! However, while looking for it, I found that it comes in a manga format as well. I like graphic novels, but manga is not really my go-to choice. But I want to read more manga and this […]

Superbuns!: Kindness Is Her Superpower by Diane Kredensor

by Leave a Comment

cbr16bingo  Golden (for the “golden rules”)  Superbuns!: Kindness Is Her Superpower by Diane Kredensor is a cute story about real superheroes. Or more accurately, what makes you, an everyday person, a “superhero” to other people. There are cute illustrations that are fairly simple, but still support the story. This allows you to focus on the text, but are still able to enjoy the art as it is not lacking in fun or details Buns is a bunny who likes helping people in her community. The […]

I Wish I Could Say "Thank You" by Yukari Takinami

by Leave a Comment

After reading GentleRain’s review of I Wish I Could Say “Thank You” by Yukari Takinami, I researched and found that while my bookstore could order me a copy, I decided that I would go the interlibrary loan route. I figured I could purchase a copy if I enjoyed it at a later time. And I probably will do that, but instead of keeping it for myself, I will donate it to my local library. I think others might be interested in this not easy to […]

Sisters finding each other

Unhappy Camper by Lily LaMotte

by Leave a Comment

I kept trying to read Unhappy Camper by Lily LaMotte for ages. But I couldn’t find a reader’s copy or if I had an online one, it would “time out” on me. Yet, in early May I found an online one and I jumped on it! (Well, not literally, as I would have knocked over my computer screen). And what I would finally read was a fun, thoughtful and interesting story about siblings and learning about who you truly are. Fun illustrations by Ann Xu […]

Zombies, and cops, and religious zealots, Oh My!

Revival: Deluxe Collection, Volume 1 by Tim Seeley

by Leave a Comment

Do you like horror with romance, religion, horrific secrets and one crazy (and dead) poet? Then, you probably should read Revival: Deluxe Collection, Volume 1 (which includes volumes one to eleven). The gore and violence is borderline gratuitous at times and other times goes well over the decency mark. There is sex, drugs and probably some rock and roll (but I was too busy covering my virtual ears from the saw that’s (spoiler) chopping up a body, to notice). If you have any kind of […]

They’re All My Friends, And They Died…

Long Bright River by Liz Moore

by 5 Comments

I haven’t ugly cried over a book in a hot minute, but man, I sure ugly cried over this one.  This is one of those books that everyone recommends to you and for whatever reason you dig your feet in that it’s probably not going to be for you but you politely say, “Thanks for the recommendation” and then go on about reading anything but that book.  Does anyone else do that? And then invariably, when you sit down to read the book that your […]
