Krampus kramps your naughty style

Tonight Is Krampus Night by Kyle Sullivan

September 18, 2025 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Christmas books I try to find are a religious one, a more fun one (Santa, or silly reindeer have been in the past) and an Other book (maybe spiritual but it hits the spirit of things). I try to find one Hanukkah and one Winter Solstice, or something that is a holiday and/or just fun. This year I found a […]

Iheard this was a good book

The Iheards by Emily Kilgore

July 15, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr14bingo Question Level 2   What are The Iheards? Emily Kilgore answers that in their book of the same name. And that was the question I asked myself when I saw the cover, and why I have chosen it for the Question category. Well, first I said, “Well that’s a bright cover. What is it about?” Then I saw, The Iheards. Then I said, “What are the Iheards?” And I assumed they were probably rumors and I was right. It is about the rumors and […]

And the Best Aunt Ever award goes to… ME!

My Little Pony: Holly Jolly Harmony by D. Jakobs

My Little Pony Best Gift Ever: A Perfectly Pinkie Present by Bonnie Ventura

Rainbow Dash: Reading Rainboom! by Talluah May

Twilight Sparkle: Best Aunt Ever! by Talluah May

January 28, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I have three nephews with such amazingly similar but unique interests. However, reading is not one of their current strong suits. I mean it used to be for the middle one, the younger occasionally, but the oldest is special needs and reading is not his cup of tea. But he loves superheroes and My Little Pony currently. And I will do anything to get him to see that books are fun. So, no brainer! And the great thing is, he gets ponies, I get to […]
