superhero – Page 3 – Cannonball Read 17

So much fun it helped with my reading slump!

Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn

June 9, 2021 by Dome'Loki Leave a Comment

Fellow Cannonballer, Teresaelectro, first brought Heroine Complex to my attention. Then it was a featured book title for Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month at Mysterious Galaxy. I was about to go and to pick up May’s book order, when on a whim I called and asked if Heroine Complex was in stock. It was and I purchased it over the phone, to bring home with the books that were waiting at the store. Due to events this year, I have found reading to be […]

NOTE TO PUBLISHER: put all books out in one collection. Please and thank you.

Super Sons V02 The Foxglove Mission by Ridley Pearson

April 5, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Super Sons series should be read back-to-back as it had been at least a year since reading book one (The Polarshield Project) and I had forgotten the action/plot of the book. This made reading book two, The Foxglove Mission, awkward to say the least. Book two of Ridley Pearson’s graphic novel series is obviously the “middle book.” There is the buildup, some action, but in the end, you know it is the diving board for you to jump into book three. It is not […]

Being sick and loss of a phone means you get to read. A lot.

Bedhead Ted by Scott SanGiacomo

January 28, 2021 by BlackRaven 1 Comment

Bedhead Ted is funny without being crude or lewd. The humor that Scott SanGiacomo created is not the LOL kind of humor, but a more subtle humor due to the atmosphere of the story. Of course, there are laughing out loud moments too. There is a friendship story, tall tales, rumors, misunderstandings, jealousy, bullies, magic hair, what makes an actual superhero and a girl who does not smile. And possibly a giant monster raccoon. Aimed at ages 6/7 to 10, this is familiar story will […]

Are You Super?

Pizazz by Sophy Henn

January 13, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Pizazz is a novel for the adult but a normal one for the ages it is geared to. It is aimed at strong first grade readers but probably best suited for the second to third/low fourth grade reader. (Or ages strong 6 to young 10). There is a mixture of text and illustrations. Having a reader copy, I am not sure what the result of the illustrations will be as currently they are black and white. But due to the cover’s comic book looking colors, […]

She’s stolen Spiderman’s theme song (kinda) and talks to squirrels

The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: Powers of a Squirrel by Ryan North

December 28, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am hoping to be able to get at least one more review in after this one, as I would not want to have my last review be a negative one. Of course, since there are only three more days… I am not holding my breath. I was so VERY VERY VERY excited (if you have not guessed) about a superhero that was part squirrel/part girl. (I am easily distracted by shiny objects, squirrels, books in general and books that happen to have a shiny […]

Devil’s Night

Blood Sugar by Daniel Kraus

The Crow by James O'Barr

The Transgressors by Jim Thompson

October 30, 2020 by Jake Leave a Comment

Happy Halloween! Preceding this Devil’s Night, I had a full day off and caught up on a lot of reading. It was a relief to get these three off the TBR list. All were good in their own respective ways. Blood Sugar 3 stars “A” for effort on the language, which is written in the slang of what Daniel Kraus thinks is a modern day teenager. I found it too distracting. But much like Nico Walker’s Cherry, when I was able to get used to it, […]

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.
