Godboys and Goddessgirls go to school and do teen things

Goddess Girls Graphic V02 Persephone the Phony Graphic Novel by Joan Holub

May 22, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I feel similar about the Goddess Girls Graphic Novel series as I did to PAWS recently. There was nothing new to it and it is flat. However, the interesting part (or at least a fact about the graphic novels) is that the Goddess Girls graphic novels are based on the actual novels of several years ago. At least this makes me wonder how updated they are or are they “old school” mentality? Regardless of their connection to the novels, this book at least can be picked […]

Now I know what my next food hobby won’t be

Home Cheese Making by Ricki Carroll

May 20, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader 2 Comments

I like food related hobbies; I’ve tried some candy making, soda making, and those are fun. Cheese making on the other hand sounds like it wouldn’t be worth it for me. I like cheese, but getting all the equipment and ingredients seems like a lot of trouble for a lot of cheese I wouldn’t be able to eat quickly enough and not be able to try new things very often. This is what Home Cheese Making has shown me. I know the process can take […]

Recipe spelled reciept

Cooking with Two Fat Ladies by Clarissa Dickson Wright, Jennifer Paterson

May 19, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

The Two Fat Ladies were something of a staple on BBC food tv, being entertaining comic interludes with a real emphasis on UK regional cookery that’s pretty traditional. However, this is not immediately apparent in the version of the cookbook Cooking with the Two Fat Ladies I found as it’s labeled “as seen on Food Network”. I don’t recall Food Network ever picking up this series, and even if they did, that does a disservice to the content of the show which is unashamedly old-school […]

When is 8 not really 8?

The Vegan 8 by Brandi Doming

May 19, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader 1 Comment

The Vegan 8 claims that it contains “100 simple, delicious recipes made with 8 ingredients or less.” This is not entirely true. The introduction says there are 3 free ingredients: salt, pepper, and water. This is fair, but then if you look at the recipes, there are many which actually either cheat by separating into multiple recipes that combine or try to suggest that things like black pepper corns and ground pepper are the same thing. It may be in the letter or the rule, […]

A cup of potato

Luli and the Language of Tea by Marie Aang

The Pet Potato by Josh Lacey

May 10, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

In a recent picture book reading marathon I came out with four books under my belt. Since there was a lot to say about each one, I split the reviews into two. This is officially the second, but you can read them either way. Now, I was trying to come up with a theme for the two books I am currently writing about, Luli and the Language of Tea by Marie Aang and illustrated by Hyewon Yum, and The Pet Potato by Josh Lacey and […]

You’ll probably never look at a bananas the same way

Banana Dream by Hasan Namir

May 9, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

What would you do if you name was Mooz? Well, you might do the same thing as the young boy in Banana Dream. You see, his name is a bit unusual and is associated with bananas. And of course, he is teased by his classmates, and envious of his cousins with more traditional names. But when he learns about the meaning of why his parents named him that, which was when his parents were trying to conceive, and having a difficult time, his mother dreamt […]
