I Can Count To Ten by Roman Dirge

by Leave a Comment

Roman Dirge is one SICK dude! Therefore they have a huge hit on their hands with I Can Count To Ten as there are a lot of  other disturbed individuals out there. I am glad that he put the disclaimer in I Can Count To Ten (and I read it) as you know (as Dirge mentions) that people will buy this book thinking it is a cute, child-friendly book about learning to count. (However, it probably should be on the cover, not a page or […]

My books; not your books….

All the Books by Hayley Rocco

by Leave a Comment

Piper, a book loving chipmunk and I have a lot in common. We are both book lovers. We have cute, chubby cheeks, we’re not keen on sharing our books, and we both love books. Did I mention that already? Well it is true. And in fact, I’m a book dragon. Well, you might call it hoarding, but I call it dragon. And I would say that Piper is a dragon, too. Only I don’t go as extreme as she does. You see, Piper loves her […]

Cult of the Lamb Vol. 1: The First Verse by Alex Paknadel

by Leave a Comment

Possible triggers (including, but not limited to violence, cults, magic) I have no clue what the publisher description means: In partnership with Devolver Digital and Massive Monster, Oni Press proudly presents Cult of the Lamb: The First Verse-the hugely anticipated first graphic novel exploration into the sprawling cosmology of the millions-selling, multiple BAFTA Award-nominated video game phenomenon that has Polygon begging players to “smash that worship button”! That’s good….. Right? There is more with: ANIMAL CROSSING MEETS HADES: This is Animal Crossing with sex and […]

Noodle & Bao by Shaina Lu

by Leave a Comment

The story of Noodle & Bao is obvious (the little guy taking on the big guy/the small town getting taken over by big money), but overall it is fun and fresh. There were a few bumps in the flow of things and the animals and human living side-by-side is odd (maybe it is because the people are that type of personalities?) but it keeps things light as we see gentrification at work. The use of details and colors are minimal but important. The extras at […]

Rogue Protocol (The Murderbot Diaries #3) by Martha Wells

by Leave a Comment

When I read this book in January of 2019 it was my least favorite of the original four (spoiler, it still is), mostly because I didn’t connect with the non-Murderbot characters. To a degree that is still true, I feel less connected to them than I did to Mensah’s team in the first or the programmers in the second. But, on a second visit I think that’s probably by design, as Wells is clearly juxtaposing Don Amene and Miki against those other relationships. There is […]

Three Photobook Reviews

Say, Is This the U.S.A. by Erskine Caldwell & Margaret Bourke-White

The Quake of '89 by News Staff of the San Francisco Chronicle

Earth Angels: Migrant Children in America by Nancy Buirski

by Leave a Comment

These three books sum up the span of photojournalism pretty well, both in time and stylistically. I am not so much an art photography person, nor someone who likes books of just photographs without captions, even if I am a big fan of the photographer. For me, the captions offer the context that make the image more meaningful to me. Say, is this the U.S.A. is a collaborative tour through the USA in 1941, with Margaret Bourke-White providing some great photographs and Erskine Caldwell writing […]
