Down the future rabbit hole

Lost in the Future Vol 1: The Storm by Damian

by Leave a Comment

Lost in the Future by Damian was beautifully illustrated by Àlex Fuentes. I discovered this at Forbidden Planet during a London trip this year. I unintentionally plan book crawls, sometimes with too ambitious goals, whenever I travel. I had about 5 minutes until they closed to pick something, and this is what I chose. During a field trip, a group of kids wanders off and falls down a hole. It’s giving Alice in Wonderland rabbit hole meets Adventure Time vibes. They discover it’s a portal and […]

Thank you so much, ElCicco!

Sitting down to write up reviews for the books I’ve read lately, I realized that I never posted a thank you for the Book Exchange I received. (Almost two weeks ago, now. Red, my face is right now…) I opened the box (which was thankfully fine inside, even though my mail deliverer apparently decided to use it in a game of kickball) to discover two beautiful wrapped packages and a lovely personalized card from ElCicco. One package contained Idolfire, which has been on my “Books […]

It all changed with a Facebook friend request 

Everything Is Fine, I'll Just Work Harder: Confessions of a Former Badass by Cara Gormally

by Leave a Comment

Even after sitting on it, I am still not sure how I feel about Everything Is Fine, I’ll Just Work Harder: Confessions of a Former Badass by Cara Gormally. I started and stopped when trying to write the review multiple times. I even started before I officially finished the book so I could try and think out what a piece of the writing evoked in me.  In the end, I am going to say that Everything is Fine is a personal read. You take from […]

Book Mail from BlackRaven!

Thank you to BlackRaven for my wonderful gifts!  I’m looking forward to reading both of them.  Ngozi Ukazu is one of my favorite graphic novelists, and I’m excited to see her latest work.  The Tea and Tombs series is one of my all time favorites, and now I have the complete set.  These are both perfect comfort reads after a rough year.  Thank you again, Black Raven, and happy holidays!

Hooves of Death, Volume 1 by Sam Bragg

by Leave a Comment

While I liked this book, I’m not really sure how to write about it. Hooves of Death, Volume 1 by Sam Bragg has many of the familiar themes, settings and story arcs you find in young adult literature, but it is also new and fresh. There are parts I did not like, parts I loved and one or two parts where I went “huh?” There are ups and downs. We follow one human and a few unicorns that escaped the destruction of their compound (don’t […]

I don’t know WHAT I think about this

Life Drawing: A Love and Rockets Collection by Jamie Hernandez

by Leave a Comment

Learning of Jamie Hernandez via another book that had characters nicknames inspired by his work was I thought a neat way to learn about someone. It was an important, but also a  smaller piece of that bigger puzzle. Therefore, I wanted to see what the fuss was all about and why did Hernandez inspire this other author? Because of that, several interlibrary loan requests for books were placed for me. I received Life Drawing: A Love and Rockets Collection first. This is a bizarre book. […]
