Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

Scooting on My Arse, Flying Between Fight Scenes. And I’m Failing to Articulate

Battle Ground by Jim Butcher

  So, I have to admit, it has taken me a good long while to gather my thoughts on this one. So sorry if it comes across as a bit disorganised. What I am confident in through is my assertion when reviewing Peace Talks that we were only getting only the one story across two books. And after reading both, I’m still not sure that this was the best idea. The two books cannot be read as stand-alone. At all. The books share the structure […]

Okay, I’m cheating. The second image belongs to book one. I just like it!

The Time Museum V02 by Matthew Loux

by Leave a Comment

I read books one and two of The Time Museum graphic novel series several months apart. This made a few bumps in who was who; I had forgotten a character and a few character points/personalities and some of the adventures previously had. Therefore, it is best to read the series by Matthew Loux back to back. We continue the adventures of the Time Museum and our plucky time travelers with a new adventure that has some unusual twists and turns. Along with some new friends. […]

The Dragon Prince Graphic Novel V01: Through the Moon by Peter Wartman

Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Lost Adventures by Bryan Konietzko

Once upon a time, there was a girl who had two friends into a show called, The Dragon Prince. They had seen all but one season but knew this girl would love it as much as they did. And she did. A lot. (In fact, so much that she would introduce the show to her dad; who binged season three and then excitedly asked when season four was. But she had to deal with his sad, puppy eyes when she informed him that it was […]

I can’t come up with a clever title for this so just read it okay?

Ella’s Night Lights by Lucy Fleming

by Leave a Comment

I am not sure if I liked this story about Ella and her friends, but I also am not sure if I disliked it. Ella’s Night Lights has an atmosphere that is both hopeful and somber. There is a delightful story of friendship, yet there is a sadness about the that Ella is a fragile creature. There is a lot going on in a few pages. It is then up to the reader to decide what they feel about the book without others telling them. […]

To Boldly Read Where No One has Read Before

I Am Captain Kirk (Star Trek) by Frank Berrios

I Am Mr. Spock (Star Trek) by Elizabeth Schaefer

Too Many Tribbles! (Star Trek) by Frank Berrios

by Leave a Comment

I like some science fiction. I also am a book nerd. Most especially children’s books. I also like Golden Books. Those skinny, tiny picture books with that shiny golden spine (ooh how I love shiny). And the memories of when I was allowed them (usually when mom went to the grocery store). Therefore, when I was looking up a book for a customer, I stumbled upon three GB books that checked the boxes: Science Fiction (Star Trek), Book (Golden Book) and children’s. I found I […]

Jude Continues to Be Awesome

The Wicked King by Holly Black

The Queen of Nothing by Holly Black

by Leave a Comment

The last two books in Holly Black’s “Folk of the Air” trilogy were just as amazing, engaging, and sensually pleasurable as The Cruel Prince. In her quest for power, Jude Duarte is upping the ante as the right-hand to the high king of Faerie in book two, and then breaking her exile on pain of death in book three. There’s plotting, spying, backstabbing (both literal and figural), and Jude’s struggle to balance playing Faerie’s game without completely becoming the thing she hates. Jude continues to be […]
