Wild Fairies V01 Daisy’s Decorating Dilemma by Brandi Dougherty.

by Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Books I Own(it’s been sitting on my pile for over six months!)Wild Fairies V01 Daisy’s Decorating Dilemma is an adorable story about fairies, friendship, helping each other and asking for help. The science of nature sneaks into the tale in a fun manner and there is an afterwards that helps you learn more about the characters, but also a bit about the flowers they represent. This is the first book (as it is volume one) in the Wild Fairies series by Brandi Dougherty. I had […]

“You know what they say. Happy wife, happy life.”

Magic Tides by Ilona Andrews

Is this book perfect? No. Is it perfect for me right now? Yes. 5 stars. Do I have time to reread Blood Heir? I do not, but I probably will anyway. Kate and Curran, along with their 8 year old son, Conlan have moved to Wilmington, North Carolina to get away from their notoriety in Atlanta. They bought a Fort, which they are renovating to make it a homey sort of castle. They’ve got Conlan registered at an expensive school. They have a contractor. They […]

The land is Bailiwick, the hero is Barb

Barb The Last Berzerker V03 Barb and the Battle for Bailiwick by Dan & Jaso

by Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Different Countries. (The magical realm of Bailiwick) Barb The Last Berzerker V03 Barb and the Battle for Bailiwick is the third installment of the Dan & Jason series. However, while it was still funny, it was not as strong as the first two. It did continue the story of Barb the Berzerker and friends (and enemies) as they battle for their home, families, and friends. We see how different people (monsters, humans, etc.) come together as a team. Now, they do not fight each […]

Ronan and the Endless Sea of Stars: A Graphic Memoir by Rick Louis

by Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport New Authors to me Ronan and the Endless Sea of Stars: A Graphic Memoir is a bittersweet story of living with a child who has an incurable condition. It is spiritual, realistic, and surreal all at once. Sometimes the tone is a bit on the romantic side, but it is a forgivable offense as this is a love story to the child as much as a memoir of the fathers. I have never been a mother, though an aunt three times (plus various “adopted […]

The Witches of Silverlake Volume One by Simon Curtis

by Leave a Comment

I am not familiar with the author or illustrator of this graphic novel but was familiar with Legendary Comics YA the publisher with the reading of Championess by Kelly Zekas making this my second CBR15Passport author unknown. The Witches of Silverlake Volume One is a 3.5 rating but rounded up to a four as there is potential and it is not really a 3. However, there are a few bumps where things do not flow smoothly and/or jump to “the next scene” without warning, or […]

A Mystery I Really Didn’t Need to Have Solved

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

by 2 Comments

Oh my goodness, I really loved this.  Not even sure what genre to put it in.  Fantasy, I guess, but also alternate realities, so maybe science fiction?  Anyhow, that’s a bookshop owners’ dilemma and not mine, so I will just classify it as wonderful. Piranesi, a young man, has been the sole living inhabitant of the House as far back as he remembers.  The House is multi-leveled, multi-winged, and open to the air, the weather, and the sea.  Its vast rooms contain only massive statues […]
