Kitty Sweet Tooth by Abby Denson
I will start my review with, this is not my image of the graphic novel Kitty Sweet Tooth (book one) by Abby Denson. All of mine had big ol’ light/flash spots on it. And very distracting. Besides, I liked the idea that some place out there someone has a Kitty Sweet Tooth doll. Granted, I do not want one, but I know that there will be several ages six to eight/nine who will after reading this book. Now I will add that there are several […]
I Want to Be a Vase by Julio Torres
I Want to Be a Vase has some great points. As the publisher description says: “An ambitious toilet plunger expresses his desire to be a vase.” This theme allows for a two-part story. The first part of Julio Torres’ story is that if you put your mind to it, you can be whatever you want to be. The second part is a story of you do not have to be what you were born as. Therefore, allowing a transgender story to take shape. And […]
Little Good Wolf by Susan Stevens Crummel
This review has a few spoilers I was really getting into the story of Little Good Wolf. Little Good Wolf plays with the piggies, cleans his room, brushes his teeth, takes baths, and even reads bedtime stories to himself. His parents are truly fed up with his actions, so they know drastic measures need to be taken. They must send him to Bad School. But no matter how hard his teachers try to teach him bad manners, clubbing people with clubs, and […]
Curse of the Chosen Volume two: The Will That Shapes the World by Alexis Deacon
WHAT THE FLAMING TORCHES DID I JUST READ? I could probably fill an entire review with comments like the one above for Curse of the Chosen Volume two: The Will That Shapes the World. This graphic novel by Alexis Deacon is just that, graphic in imagery and subject. It is not for the faint of heart, to say the least. The theme is a bit on the clichéd side (the weak overcoming the strong, as they come into their own; plus, the battle between […]
Courts of Chaos by Roger Zelazny
It probably doesn’t bode well for my enjoyment of the rest of this series to be earnestly relieved that this fifth book marks the end of the first phase of the series. I possess all the others, which generally means that I will stick it out, or at least have a hard time removing it from my to read pile, but alas. This fifth book does tie a bow on the Corwin section of the series, with the closing of his pursuit of throne of […]
Black Magick Vol 3: Ascension 1 by Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott
I reviewed the first two volumes of Greg Rucka and Nicola Scott’s Black Magick series for Cannonball 10. Given the gap in time, I did a quick reread so that I could remember what was going on for this third volume. This series is pretty cool, dealing with police work and witchcraft/demons. The main character Rowan Black is a witch and police detective who finds her worlds colliding when a series of murders seems to indicate the presence of dark forces that are coming for Rowan […]
