Area 510 by Lee Loughridge

by Leave a Comment

I am assuming that Area 510 is book one in an “unknown amount” of a series by Lee Loughridge, Jay Faerber, Justin Greenwood, and Thomas Mauer (I am assuming Greenwood has illustrated this graphic novel, and Mauer is a big name in the community that I am unfortunately unfamiliar with). But despite any short comings I might have when it comes to knowing the people who created Area 510 (the zip code of the area the story takes place) this is a great start to […]

An unintentional Mercy Thompson reading binge.

Frost Burned by Patricia Briggs

CBR Bingo: Series I usually take my time with my urban fantasy series. I like to savor them and read a few worlds at a time. To not let the reviews pile up (again), I usually read one or two books in a row. Not this go round. I’ve read five in a row for the OG Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. I’ve also fallen in love with the first three books in the spin-off Alpha & Omega series. Once I got going, it […]

Finally this series is heating up again

Lumberjanes, vols, 17-19 by Shannon Watters, Kat Leyh

Bingo 6: Hot So the three most recent volumes of Lumberjanes (17-19) could really have fit into several categories, but I’m going to go with “Hot” because a chunk of one adventure takes place in the dinosaur age when the climate is pretty tropical, and during another adventure things get a little heated between Diana (goddess) and another goddess from a rival mythology, Freya. I have to say, I’d gotten behind with this series because it wasn’t as entertaining for a while, but thankfully, the […]

An Mostly Unbeatable Slime ‘Monster’

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime vol 18 (manga) by Taiki Kawakami, Fuse

by Leave a Comment

Bingo 5: Monsters This bingo slot is sort of a gimme, base level since most of the protagonists are from a place now called “Tempest, land of monsters”; everyone is some kind of video game creature like goblins, dire-wolves, dragon, or in the main character’s case, he’s a slime (as in the lowest level of dungeon monster), overpowered to the point of practically invincible, but still a slime. The current situation also feature a gathering of demon lords, all whom might be literal, and at […]

So are you glad I plunged in after you now?

CBR14 BINGO: Camel/Adapt Square (Adapting to a family chock full of magic when you only have a drop/Adapting to a new job and a whole magical world you did not know existed. A whole lot of adapting going on.) Witty banter, slow burning spiciness and magic make for a great little book. Edwin, a member of a powerful magical family, is the runt of his lineage. Born with just a little spark of magic, Edwin makes do as a liaison between the British government and magical […]

My name is Sunny & my story is on da money!

Surviving the Wild: Sunny the Shark by Remy Lai

by Leave a Comment

I adored the Surviving the Wild first two books about a koala and elephant. And Surviving the Wild: Sunny the Shark is another cute story of Surviving the Wild series. This time we explore how one shark makes friends, learns about humans and their trash. And while Sunny is getting in and out of trouble, we learn about the type of shark Sunny is, the fish that are helpful to them, and yes, our human trash and the problems it causes. The pacing of this […]
