Dragonbreath #1 by Ursula Vernon

by 7 Comments

CBR Bingo: Monster Dragonbreath #1 by Ursula Vernon has cured all my ills. This story about an irrepressible dragon named Danny who can’t breathe fire (but has no fear) is so delightful, and the illustrations so insanely adorable, that it’s changed my entire day, which until this point has been as fun as a case of scurvy.     Dragonbreath #1 follows Danny around as he goes about his day, starting at the Herpitax-Phibbias School for Reptiles and Amphibians, where he is the only semi-mythical […]

I adore romance trilogies where a trio of lady friends find their perfect partner, one set per book. CBR14 Bingo: Bodies

CBR14 Bingo: Bodies – There is a pair of attractive bodies on the cover.  Nya discovers what pleasures her body. Is there a name for the sub-set of romance that has a trio of women friends finding their perfect partner across a trilogy?  I enjoy them!  Nora Roberts was my introduction and I devoured several.  Then there was a long hiatus of romance reading.  Cannonball Read inspired me to start seeking out new romances and that brought me to Alyssa Cole, and her “Reluctant Royals” series.  […]

Ms. Marvel, Volume One: No Normal by G. Willow Wilson

cbr14bingo Series Level 1 She might be a superhero with pretty cool powers, but she is still 16 and has a curfew. I have read one other Ms. Marvel graphic novel/comic and was not totally impressed. I think that was because the character in the other book was a kid and Kamala in Ms. Marvel, Volume One: No Normal is a teenager, and somehow being a superhero is more believable to me if you are at least old enough to drive. I had no idea […]
