They lobster the kelpcakes

Officer Clawsome V01 Kelpcake Crisis!   by Brain Smitty Smith

by Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport  already own  As the description says of this Brain Smitty Smith graphic novel, Officer Clawsome: Kelpcake Crisis!  this is Dogman meets Spongebob. And if you like them, you will like this. There is a bit of “James Bond-like” elements with a few villains (there is a mechanical shark that has one heck of a bad diet…I mean eating garbage is one thing, but whole buildings?), but overall, everything is straight forward and not overly “sophisticated.” Then again, a talking lobster who is a former […]

Sexy Sexy Vampire Sexy Sex

In Her Thrall by Chloe Parker

by 2 Comments

Biana Ivyshade is a vampire. A super sexy vampire, who is secretly good. Like, she doesn’t even eat people guys! She’s like Edward Cullen, except she doesn’t sparkle. She was turned by Dracula, who is a literal fucking monster. Every year, she throws an elaborate ball in an effort to attract Dracula, because she believes she can kill him. On the night of the ball, three vampire hunters show up because they have heard rumors of a vampire lady and Dracula, but they are more […]

Last of the Lumberjanes

Lumberjanes: End of Summer Adventure by Shannon Watters, Kat Leygh

by Leave a Comment

So it turns out the Lumberjanes series has reached its conclusion with volume 20: “End of Summer Adventure”. This series has had ups and downs and I think the conclusion is a little mixed. On the one hand, the questions that really need answering are resolved. For example, what’s up with Rosie, what’s really going on in the forest around the camp, and what’s the spooky bad thing that got released a volume or two ago. But then again, the actual reveals are kind of […]

Intersectional Witchy Fiction

Her Majesty’s Royal Coven by Juno Dawson

by Leave a Comment

Best for: People looking for magical worlds set in contemporary time, without supporting, say, anti-trans authors. In a nutshell: Witches are real, and there is a prophesy that a newly discovered teen, Theo, might bring about something very, very bad. A group of friends who were young witches together and have now followed different paths all become involved in addressing this. Worth quoting: N/A Why I chose it: I believe this was the last book I received before I ended a book subscription. What it […]

Third times a charm

The Cardboard Kingdom V03 Snow and Sorcery by Chad Sell

by Leave a Comment

Book three of The Cardboard Kingdom graphic novel series is Snow and Sorcery. This is a series you need to read in order, but that is okay as book three is not due until early November 2023 and you will have plenty of time to read the first two Chad Sell books. There are various authors and illustrators (such as Barbara Perez Marquez and Manuel Betancourt) as well, but I forgot to write all their names down so I can add them to my review. […]

Have a cup of tea? Don’t mind if I have three

The Tea Dagon Society Book One by K. O’Neill

The Tea Dragon Festival #2 by K. O’Neill

The Tea Dragon Tapestry (Tea Dragon, #3) by K. O’Neill

by Leave a Comment

I have the goal of reading all of K. O’Neill’s works. It has been a little tricky as they have gone by at least Kate O’Neill and Kay O’Neill as well. But with the finishing of the third book in the Tea Dragon Society series, I might have made it. This is a big deal as (until a few years ago when posthumously her second book came out) Harper Lee might have been the only author with that honor. I came to The Tea Dagon […]
