Cover for the graphic novel SideQuested Book 1 by KB Spangler

An Absolute Delight

SideQuested Book 1 by K. B. Spangler

May 25, 2026 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

Charlie Woodgrain isn’t interested in magic and is far more interested in her training to be a librarian. It’ll be a quiet life, but that’s fine with Charlie.  Magic is summoned through conflict, and she would like to avoid that to the point where she refuses to fight. Then her birth father shows and drags her to the king’s court putting her on a collision course with the prince. Prince Leopold is gifted in the noble arts of diplomacy and combat, but he’s never met […]

Cover for the graphic novel Forgive-Me_-Not by Mari Costa

A Great Graphic Novel for Fans of Cozy Fantasy

Forgive-Me-Not by Mari Costa

May 25, 2026 by Kit Moonstar Leave a Comment

Princess Aisling is excited for her eighteenth birthday.  She’s not expecting to be attacked in her own bedroom and kidnapped or to find out that she’s a changling.  Forget-Me-Not, the princess she was switched at birth with, has a plan that she needs Aisling in order to complete.  As the two of them journey together, a friendship and maybe something more begins to develop.  But the real question is, what sort of future exists for either of them and how do you determine who you […]

Belonging

Until We Meet Again by Lily Kim Qian

May 22, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Until We Meet Again by Lily Kim Qian is thoughtful and reflective. Qian gives us a coming of age story of a young herself, who is a Chinese-Canadian girl who deals with her family dynamics such as her mothers mental illness, her mother and fathers volatile relationship, and dealing with growing up with a caring father, but one who is just doing the best he can, and the attitudes of immigrant parents and “old school” Chinese values vs her western world. The cultural differences of […]

The book that is NSFW and yet somehow I got away with reading it there…..

That Sexy Bea by Owlin

May 21, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

That Sexy Bear by Lin Visel and Joseph Bergin III (or Owlin) is totally and completely screwed up. And that is being really polite! I really don’t want to go on as it left a funky taste in my mouth. It feels soapy. Why? Because I needed a 10 hour bath after reading with a lot of soap to wash all the parts as the whole experience was creepy AF. OMG there are women’s breasts, and natural who-ha’s hanging out; there are a couple of […]

The Greenies V01 by Emma Mills and Sarah Nicole Kennedy

May 21, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Greenies V01 by Emma Mills and illustrator Sarah Nicole Kennedy Recently I have been locating many of my older links and then finding the books included in them are available, but I still have access to the links, but that is good, as I learn it is not “wow best book ever” just “that was good” so a physical copy is not wanted to keep. But that is also good as if you like the review you can run out and grab your own […]

Superheroes to the…. rescue?

Maker Girl and Professor Smarts by Jasmine Florentine

May 21, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Deep in the collection of my online reader links, Maker Girl and Professor Smarts by Jasmine Florentine showed up and I read it via that manner. Currently available, I’m glad I read this book via the online way for this cute and silly superhero story. While there was nothing wrong with the book, everything was not for me and therefore, I did not need a physical copy to keep. It is great for the second grade on up, as it has all the elements younger […]
