Witch Hazel: Seasons of the Witch by Colton Fox and Beige Blum

by Leave a Comment

A few months ago, my Silver Sprocket subscription selections mostly hit the mark. One that was really good was the Witch Hazel series by Colton Fox and Beige Blum. The one I read was a stand alone, but also a continuation of three others. The first aptly named, Witch Hazel, the second Witch Hazel Trouble at TCAF (or One Shot, I’ve seen both) and the third Witch Hazel: Seasons of the Witch. (Or that is the second and TCAF is the third … I am […]

Don’t be a bass read this book

Fly Rod Was First: Cornelia Crosby's Adventures in Angling by Cathy Ballou Mealey

by Leave a Comment

Women’s biographies are becoming more popular in the picture book format. As well as stories written about women who were in non traditional female roles. Add in the fact she was into a sport that I’ve never heard that too many females were involved in, and you have one of the most unique biographies I’ve read. Fly Rod Was First: Cornelia Crosby’s Adventures in Angling is a great introduction to a kick-butt woman who knew how to cast her influence on the fishing world! The […]

Beauty by Hubert

by Leave a Comment

Beauty by Hubert is the ultimate comment of society. Women, beauty, power and more all come to a head in bloody battles, violent and several sexual situations such as rape, borderline incest, and more horrific things than the last. This is not a Happily Ever After Fairy Tale, this is the bloody reality of pain, hunger, obsessions, lust, greed and cruelty. When Beauty wins a wish from a fairy she helps escape from being trapped in the form of a toad, she sets off events […]

Witch Hazel: Variety Hour by Colton Fox and Beige Blum

by Leave a Comment

I have a subscription to Silver Sprocket books. I need to pause and/or cancel as I have so many books from them and I just cannot keep up! But I did get a chance to read Witch Hazel: Variety Hour by Colton Fox and Beige Blum. When I opened the package, stickers and a few postcard items fell out. There was a Witch Hazel poster and another book. I was amused at the fact that the book was in a comic book style, but was […]

Required guts, courage, and bravery… So of course she was a woman!

Lighthouse Ladies: Shining a Spotlight on Hardy Heroines by Kris Coronado

by Leave a Comment

When you see a title like Lighthouse Ladies: Shining a Spotlight on Hardy Heroines you might wonder if there really were enough people to fill a book. Well, it sounds like you could fill a book on any one of the four women who Kris Coronado highlights. Instead they take four real life women who saved lives, tended to the light houses, and dealt with other issues and situations. We follow Ida Lewis, Juliet Nichols, Venus Parker, and Julia Toomey who were women who were […]

Does this author ever write a bad book?

Spent: A Comic Novel by Alison Bechdel

by Leave a Comment

Spent: A Comic Novel by Alison Bechdel This graphic novel is not perfect, but it is darn close. There were just one or two small “bumps” for me. But overall fans will get a huge kick out of this. There is much happening and Bechdel uses their usual wit and observations to get the job done. Even if they cannot get the job of writing their new book or the TV script done. It is life during the years of 2020 to “now” (or around […]
