“It is a nice thought, is it not?” Beatrice asked. “That we can go forward as romantic lunatics forevermore?”

Romance Me, Viscount by Kate Archer

June 9, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Fanciful Beatrice Bennington insists she will accept only a lovesick man as her husband, but her neighbor Matthew, a viscount, is convinced that all she will end up with is a bruised heart – unless he can prevent it. Kate Archer has kicked off a new series of Regency romcoms about the Benningtons, a close knit family with an hopelessly romantic bend, due to the parenting of an eccentric aunt. I’ve always enjoyed Kate Archer’s romances, which generally lean very heavily into comedy, so I […]

Shocking

The Power by Naomi Alderman

June 8, 2023 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

The Power is actually about the reversal of power. What if the raw, physical power held within the bodies of men was overshadowed by the raw, electrical power generated within the bodies of women? Would this changing of the guards of power cause the scales to rebalance? Would it usher in world peace? Would women, the mothers of all, take on a caring and nurturing role and reset the world to be a functioning matriarchy? Or would power redistribute to bring untold instability? Would this […]

Putting color back in the world

Sasha & the City of Whispers by Sara Van Horn.

June 7, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Back in February 2023 a book called Sasha & the City of Whispers came out. I did not learn of it until May 2023 when a customer ordered a copy. Finding a readable copy, I read this picture book by Sara Van Horn. Now, the surface story is okay. A girl called Sasha, learns she is not good at doing the tasks her community are tasked with doing. You must always work, work and work. No time for anything else. Their town is loud, no […]

Tzimmes for Tzipporah by Megan Hoyt

Just One Little Light by Kat Yeh

June 7, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

It’s time for another picture book round up review. This time there are two books I enjoyed reading, but did not feel I could honestly do a full review of. Both stories are sweet, but are not necessarily for everyone.  Are you looking for a new book about getting out and about on the farm? Well Tzimmes for Tzipporah is a new book (or will be in September 2023) dealing with a farm during harvest time. It is written by Megan Hoyt and Christine Battuz […]

Tin Man by Justin Madson

June 7, 2023 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was looking at some online reader copies the other day. I found one by Justin Madson. And I then saw they had a first book, Tin Man. Or maybe it started another way.  I am not sure, because I do not remember even seeing the book that made me want to request this book from my library.  But regardless of how it happened to be found, I found myself with a copy of the Tin Man graphic novel. When reading about it, I was […]
