Destiny Ink: Sleepover Surprise (Volume 1) by Adeola Sokunbi

by Leave a Comment

Destiny Ink: Sleepover Surprise (Volume 1) by Adeola Sokunbi is a fun story about worries and friendship. It has cute images accompanying the familiar and fresh take on the theme. The end. The thing is, this is a quick read for the adult reader. There is not a lot of meat to the potatoes, but those ‘taters do have some nice butter and the skin is still on. For the aged six to nine reader, it is good. It is a solid story. They might […]

I don’t know who wandered more: the book or me writing this review

Tongues, Volume 1 by Anders Nilsen

by Leave a Comment

Tongues, Vol. 1 by Anders Nilsen   I have NO idea what was read. The stories all bounce all over the place. The images are busy, the text mixes and gets lost in the illustrations. The images are colorless but are not black and white. The characters are unlikable, even Astrid, who might be the one that will save the world. Or destroy it. It’s still up in the air. There is nothing good and positive. Even The Prisoner has faults and he seems to […]

The Blackout by Luis Amavisca and Francesc Rovira

by Leave a Comment

The cover of The Blackout by Luis Amavisca and illustrator Francesc Rovira (due October 2026, read via an online reader copy) makes the book look like it would be a slightly different and more mature story. Instead, it is a sweet picture book (that I hope is not oversized as it has an unusual look to the actual cover illustration) about how family—even found family, who is literally in the dark—makes everything a little better. The illustrations are perhaps my favorite part of things as […]

I should have posted this on May 4th for the Star Wars tie-in

2 Dumb Dinos by Nathan Hamill and Eric Filipkowski

by Leave a Comment

The abstractness of jokes (makes no sense, with no punchline) of 2 Dumb Dinos, will hit the right reader, but it was not my cup of tar (pit). Do you Nathan Hamill and Eric Filipkowski and I hope you find the right audience. To help you do so, let me mention some things about the book. I read via an online reader, but it is available. Therefore, I am not sure of the actual size, but I have a feeling the book will be on […]

I’m sure it’s not the first time someone has heard, “Shake your Moneymaker” on OnlyF@ns

My Mom Only Sells Fans (Inappropriate Children's Stories) by R. Moneymaker

by Leave a Comment

I am an adult. At least, physically. Mentally (depending on the day) I am too young to even know about, let alone read, My Mom Only Sells Fans (Inappropriate Children’s Stories) by R. Moneymaker. Therefore I can honestly say, I have not read it. Instead, I had it read to me by rsullivan1991 on Facebook (I think his name is Ryan Sullivan, but I only have rsullivan1991 on the screenshot I took, and he uses this moniker across platforms).  Quick background: Mr. RSullivan1991 is a […]

Hot and Badgered by Shelly Laurenston

In a Badger Way by Shelly Laurenston

Badger to the Bone by Shelly Laurenston

by 2 Comments

I picked up the first book on Saturday and was done with the third by the end of the week. Like Pringles, you can’t have just one. Hot and Badgered – 4.25 stars When a naked woman tumbles onto his hotel balcony while escaping her enemies, Berg’s happy to give her a T-shirt and a gun, but doesn’t expect to see her again. But it turns out that Charlie’s problems are manifest, and when they bring her to Manhattan, he’s happy to lend her a […]
