Finlay Donovan Jumps the Gun (Finlay Donovan, #3) by Elle Cosimano

by Leave a Comment

We’re definitely experiencing diminishing returns with this series, but I’m still enjoying myself. I think I’m ready for it to have a definitive ending, though. I don’t want the author to beat this horse to death just because we keep buying the books out of remembered affection for how crazy good we thought book one was. To be honest, I no longer remember most of the details of the plot of this book. Finlay and Vero have to find out who EasyClean is (the hit […]

Parachute Kids: A Graphic Novel by Betty C. Tang

by Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport, Own (the reader copy, but due early April)   There is a lot going on within the covers of Parachute Kids: A Graphic Novel. This book is loosely based on some of the experiences author Betty C. Tang and the experiences of others like Tang had. And thankfully they did not happen all to one person, because as I said, a lot happens. We see the kids left to their own devices, scammed out of money, issues with language, issues with racism and even […]

CBR15Passport Own This is the first Benji Nate book they had a part in that I did not enjoy. The concept of Good Boy V01: Good Boy Magazine #1 a Zine format. There are different styles and types of work (done by different authors and/or illustrators) that are included.

Books, friends and mystery

Escape from M. Lemoncello’s Library, the graphic novel by Chris Grabenstein

by Leave a Comment

Not having read the novel, that Escape from M. Lemoncello’s Library, the graphic novel is based on (that is of the same name), I am not sure how this book was adapted. However, the author Chris Grabenstein did the adaptation, so I am assuming it is mostly the same. Regardless, this graphic novel illustrated by Douglas Holgate is a fun, easy read that has puns, hidden surprises, a good message, and a lot of books that are mentioned, that are read and that are used […]
