Crema by Johnnie Christmas
Crema is the kind of graphic novel that I should like, but something was falling flat for me. Maybe it was the fact I have read a lot of graphic novels recently and it is time for a break. Or maybe I have read a lot of GLBTQ+ books (which are great, but sometimes I need to cleanse the palette). Maybe it is actually a bad book and/or story. Maybe I was in the wrong frame of mind while reading. Maybe I was in the […]
Anne: An Adaptation of Anne of Green Gables (Sort Of) by Kathleen Gros
Anne: An Adaptation of Anne of Green Gables (Sort Of) was adapted by Kathleen Gros. They are the same creator of Jo: An Adaptation of Little Women (Sort Of). Which, I preferred to the Anne story for several reasons. The biggest being it was the first book I had read by Gros and therefore, the format was fresh to me. With Anne, I kept thinking, “I have read this. Wait, it reminds me of that Jo book….” Since I have also never read the original […]

Talli, Daughter of the Moon Volume One by Sourya Sihachakr
Manga meets Medieval in this first volume of a princess and a pauper tale. We have one spoiled girl, with extreme magical powers she cannot control, a noble knight (who is way dramatic), a sleepy-swordsman and his with-a-past-grandfather take on a journey of discovery, treasure, and magic in Talli, Daughter of the Moon Volume One. Sourya Sihachakr (a French-Laotian cartoonist) mixed a bit of classical European flair, Asian looks, manga imagery and a bit of what I call “old school 1970’s” feel. And Francois Vigneault […]
I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967 Graphic Novel) by Georgia Ball
The I Survived Series in the novel format is fun, but I think they were (especially I Survived the Attack of the Grizzlies, 1967 Graphic Novel) was meant for the graphic novel genre. However, for the sensitive reader, there might be a few images and situations that might not be great for them. Adapted by Georgia Ball from the Lauren Tarshis series, there is no question what side the author is on when it comes to who is the “good bear” and who is the […]

Talking to My Daughter About the Economy: Or, How Capitalism Works - and How It Fails by Yanis Varoufakis
CBR14Bingo – Shadow – In the novel, even though it’s ostensibly about the “Buffalo Bill” killings, Hannibal Lecter is always there and always present in mind. – Silence of the Lambs – 3/5 Stars This is a book that for some godforsaken reason my seventh grade English teacher not only let me read for a class assignment but also let me make a stick-figure puppet theater for key scenes. The early 1990s were the Wild Wild West truly. It’s an interesting book that is mostly […]
