Food for love, love for food

Dim Sum, Here We Come! by Maple Lam

December 27, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Do you like good food? I have been told that dim sum is a great way to go to try good foods. I have officially never gone to a dim sum restaurant, but our narrator has. Every Sunday with their family, in fact; and they look forward to it all week! Consisting of their parents, siblings, a couple grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins the family shares news, food, and so much more. The anticipation slowly builds up as we see the narrator’s anticipation, the surroundings […]

Don’t pick your nose, pick a book

Got Your Nose! by Alan Katz

December 27, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Let’s get it out of the way: If I had to pick a nose (book), I would pick this one. I can’t catch my nose, it’s too runny. I hope I don’t blow this review. Alan Katz did similar and a few more jokes inside the pages of Got Your Nose! The “you’re never too old for silly fun” is the center of the tale. When Becky’s grandfather Max makes a surprise visit, they sing and play music and end up on a surprise adventure: […]

The Most Noble of Ladies… and the Gunmaker’s Grandson

The Regal by Kate Archer

December 26, 2022 by Pooja Leave a Comment

The duchess has finally settled on a young lady to sponsor, and in true duchess fashion this young lady is quite a noble one, with the blood of the Plantagenets running in her veins. Now if only she wouldn’t insist on entangling herself with a recent baron! This is the conclusion of A Series of Worthy Young Ladies, a comic Regency romance series I have been following all year, and it was a good book to wrap up the whole saga. The hero is Harry […]

cover of The Bridesmaid by Ruth Rendell

You know how you can make it up to me? MURDER

The Bridesmaid by Ruth Rendell

December 26, 2022 by chatelaine9 Leave a Comment

3.5 stars I’ve read and enjoyed quite a few books by Ruth Rendell/Barbara Vine, so this caught my eye. Philip is an absolutely run-of-the-mill man: decent looking, recently out of college, working in a field he pretty much likes and with dreams of bigger things, living with his mom and sister, just out of a relationship because he wasn’t ready to/couldn’t commit as fully as his ladyfriend wanted him to. You know, regular guy. His relationships with his mom and two sisters — all of […]

As I told my nephew, my gen invented The Turtles & ya don’t mess with them!

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Complete Adventures. by Matthew Manning

December 26, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Unless your child likes the modern, square-headed, dumber than pond muck Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, do not get your child Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Complete Adventures (in June 2023). Please! Do not insult the honor and integrity of the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! They are not some skinny Donatello. Or a big, dumb, snaggle tooth Raphael! (OH my poor Raph! My young nephew would never believe you used to be my favorite). And when you have Leonardo calling Raph the boss? […]

Get your D&D on

Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club V01: Roll Call by Molly Knox Ostertag

December 26, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I started Dungeons & Dragons: Dungeon Club V01: Roll Call awhile back. I then put it aside as I was trying to read it online (and as you know, my phone is not friends with online formatting). Not only was my phone slow and dragging, but I was also not able to see the images clearly or in a larger format. Therefore, unless you have a SCREEN to view things on, then this might be best in the physical form. And the physical form is […]
