Dragons of the Hourglass Mage – Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman (2009)

Dragons of the Hourglass Mage by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

December 7, 2021 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

The final of the “Lost Chronicles” book and like the previous one that mostly focuses on Kitiara, this story picks up Raistlin’s lost adventures during the last book. In the final book of the Chronicles, Raistlin removes himself from drowingin the maelstrom, seemingly dooming his brother and companions to their death. It’s clear from both this book and that book that this was the most he could do, save himself, and well, I’d also argue that if they wanted to be saved, they maybe should […]

Sisters might point things out that others are too polite to mention, but I wanna point out some good books

What Are Sisters For? by Anya Glazer

How to Hug a Pufferfish by Ellie Peterson

December 7, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

There is no theme to connect What Are Sisters For? And How to Hug a Pufferfish, other than both are fun new books to get for your collection. Anya Glazer illustrated and wrote What Are Sisters For? I personally would say: to blame for things that you did; trade for chocolate cookies; and cut the fuzz out of your favorite koala bears ears (not really a plus, though). And speaking of koalas, we have two koala sisters, Ada and Bea. Ada the older, always has […]

Need to feel good? Grab a book or four

Chirp!: Chipmunk Sings for a Friend by Jamie A. Swenson

Sunny-Side Up by Jacky Davis

We Are Better Together by Bill McKibben

Let’s Do Everything and Nothing by Julia Kuo

December 6, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Do you need some feel good stories? These books are positive, hopeful, and have a modern take on subjects. Each one ranges in the best age for it, but most ages five and up will be fine. Chirp!: Chipmunk Sings for a Friend by Jamie A. Swenson  This book is a simple story: a little chipmunk is alone and keeps singing for a friend. Scott Magoon illustrates the clever gem of finding the perfect note of friendship. The colors are simple, light without being muted. […]

The Biography of Remus J. Lupin

All the Young Dudes by MsKingBean89

December 5, 2021 by ElCicco 8 Comments

All the Young Dudes is a work of Harry Potter inspired fanfic that focuses on the relationship between Remus Lupin and Sirius Black, making it what is known as a “Wolfstar” story. Apparently, it is the #1 download on Archive of Our Own (AO3). I first heard about it a couple of weeks ago in this Slate piece, which raved about it. At 188 chapters (and some half a million pages) it is, they say, half as long as all 7 HP novels, and readers, […]

“You know life goes on after pain, and… well, it goes on before pain too, or around it, or generally proximate.”

The Stormbringer by Isabel Cooper

December 4, 2021 by Nart 1 Comment

I first heard about this book over on Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, when they mocked the cover. They are, of course, entirely right. It is not only a generally not great cover, but it also completely fails to clue the reader into the smart, funny, inventive, sweet fantasy epic that they’re about to delve into. It’s described as a paranormal romance but if this is a paranormal romance so is Lord of the Rings and the Witcher. Plot: There is a war between humans and […]

Go talk your weird love to the wind

Thirty Talks Weird Love by Alessandra Narvaez Varela

December 2, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When I first started to read Thirty Talks Weird Love my first thought was, “Well this is crap.” But I realized I was tired and told myself to go to bed. That is the main thing you need to know about Alessandra Narvaez Varela’s book: be rested. This book is an emotional rollercoaster and if you are the tiniest bit uncomfortable or not in a good headspace, do not try this book. The journey of finding and being perfection, and how we see ourselves are […]
