Ami Moon and the Galactic Peacekeepers: Book One Volume 1 by Frances Lee

by Leave a Comment

The powers that be do not want me to write a review for Ami Moon and the Galactic Peacekeepers: Book One Volume 1 by Frances Lee. I had a long review typed out,  when I went to post, I hit something and the entire thing was erased. I then tried multiple times to restart it and it kept screwing up. I finally got it into a document and then couldn’t remember what I wanted to say/what I had said!. Wracking my brain, I came up […]

Short book, a lot in it, trigger potential. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?

Lost Boy by Jay Martin

by Leave a Comment

Do not judge a book by its cover has usually been a good rule to follow for me. A lot of the time, a cover does not cover enough of the story for you to really understand the “down and dirty” or the “nitty gritty meaning of things” and reading past the cover of your book (and maybe especially with comics and graphic novels), is smart. However, with Lost Boy by Jay Martin (and an introduction by Shawn Mendes highly recommending Martin’s work) you could […]

Relish: My Life in the Kitchen by Lucy Knisley

by Leave a Comment

Relish: My Life in the Kitchen by Lucy Knisley is a graphic novel that I almost did not review here. Partly because it is from 2013 and who wants to read a book that old? Well, I did, so I figured maybe someone else would, too. And it is not just for a fan of Knisley (though you probably should be a fan as they have a lot of fun relatable memoir stories) and it is not just for foodies, though that might help a […]

Dung Dung! Holmes is on the case…. sort of

Paw & Order Vol. 1: The Grilled Cheese Caper by Jason Platt

by Leave a Comment

If your age five and up reader is looking for a cute mystery with the elements of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson meets Law and Order meets Colombo quality then you want Paw & Order Vol. 1: The Grilled Cheese Caper by Jason Platt. Mostly the shorter graphic novel is based in a Holmes and Watson dynamic (a cat and dog), but our cat hero is a bit more goofy than Holmes, so has the bumbling feel of Columbo. Of course, Columbo was much more […]

Unicornia V02: A Magical Birthday by Ana Punset

by Leave a Comment

While you would think I review every book I read, I actually don’t. Of course, I tend to write more reviews than not, even for books that might not have completely “grabbed” my “love” or “really like” buttons. Sometimes I write one because I didn’t finish it. But that is not the case with the below series/book. Not to say that Unicornia V02: A Magical Birthday by Ana Punset and Diana Vicedo (illustrator) was bad, it just did not grab me. This is partly because […]

Yay carbs! and other things

Turnip Greens & Tortillas by Eddie Hernandez

by 1 Comment

I had a feeling I may have read Turnip Greens & Tortillas at some point but I was browsing in the Library and they had a Cinco De Mayo shelf and I wasn’t sure. Having read the book, I’m still not sure. But I’m glad I picked it up, because it has a recipe I have been looking for: bolillos. I cannot find them anywhere close to where I live, and they are probably the best sandwich rolls for most all roll/sub type sandwiches like […]
