To Boob or Not to Boob

The Breast Is Yet to Come: Cartoons for Nursing Moms by Howard J. Bennett and Jan Bennett

June 5, 2026 by BlackRaven 1 Comment

Breastfeeding is a controversial subject. Should you do it in public? Why should you nurse in public if I do not wish to see it? When do you stop? Should you force the child when they are obviously not having it? Should you mix breastfeeding with bottle feeding? I could go on as I (as many women do) have strong opinions on the subject. However, regardless of your stand about breastfeeding I think we can all agree that the book The Breast Is Yet to […]

Up up and sorry please go away….

Super Roomies: Lake of Slime: A Star Chapter Book by Jarrett Lerner

June 5, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I found a book that happens to be by the author and illustrator Jarrett Lerner that I was not the audience for and therefore, I am not a fan of. Please don’t get me wrong, I appreciate and admire the time and effort that goes into creating any book, in fact, I’m envious as I couldn’t begin to know where to start to do what authors do. It’s just not a book for me. That does not mean I’ll stop reading Lerner, far from it. […]

June 2, 2026 by BlackRaven 1 Comment

The email came that said: PW’s Grab a Galley – Guinea Pigs Don’t Wear Pants. It continued Dear You Thank you for requesting Guinea Pigs Don’t Wear Pants through Publishers Weekly’s Summer 2026 Grab-a-Galley event.

An odd, not so little, little book or Why even though it is the day before Easter, you should go to the libary

Bog Myrtle by Sid Sharp

May 28, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

You know you have a problem when you spend five days of the week at your job behind the scenes at a bookstore, then on Saturday you go to the library for a “change of scenery.” But I guess it could be worse.  Anyway, I was browsing the shelves, thinking that I had forgotten it was the day before Easter and there would be little rabbits hunting eggs and goodies, but thankfully they were outside. I was able to just look and see what jumped […]

The book that is NSFW and yet somehow I got away with reading it there…..

That Sexy Bea by Owlin

May 21, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

That Sexy Bear by Lin Visel and Joseph Bergin III (or Owlin) is totally and completely screwed up. And that is being really polite! I really don’t want to go on as it left a funky taste in my mouth. It feels soapy. Why? Because I needed a 10 hour bath after reading with a lot of soap to wash all the parts as the whole experience was creepy AF. OMG there are women’s breasts, and natural who-ha’s hanging out; there are a couple of […]

The Greenies V01 by Emma Mills and Sarah Nicole Kennedy

May 21, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Greenies V01 by Emma Mills and illustrator Sarah Nicole Kennedy Recently I have been locating many of my older links and then finding the books included in them are available, but I still have access to the links, but that is good, as I learn it is not “wow best book ever” just “that was good” so a physical copy is not wanted to keep. But that is also good as if you like the review you can run out and grab your own […]
