Hakim's Odyssey: Book 2: From Turkey to Greece by Fabien Toulme

by Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport book set in and author from another country (from Syria, living in Turkey, trying to get to Greece and France)I was going to wait until I read volume three of Hakim’s Odyssey by French author Fabien Toulme (translation by Hannah Chute) before writing the review of Volume Two: From Turkey to Greece but was not sure when that would happen. And besides, Hakim’s Odyssey fills each book with enough so you do not have to know about three, you will just go to the […]

Rima's Rebellion: Courage in a Time of Tyranny by Margarita Engle

by Leave a Comment

CBR15Passport Book I own Rima’s Rebellion: Courage in a Time of Tyranny is an interesting book. First, it is prose poetry and while that is usually a good thing for me, I am not sure this was the best format for the subject. Second, it is confusing what age(s) it is aimed for. The tone of the book is for a middle-grade reader (at least aged 10 and up), but the subject matter is more mature. If this was Margarita Engle’s first novel, that bump […]

Diverseness for the younger crowd.

Rainbow: A First Book of Pride by Michael Genhart

Hair Twins by Raakhee Mirchandani

by Leave a Comment

What do you do when you want to show diverseness to your child, but they are not ready for some big, non-fiction encyclopedic knowledge book? You grab a picture book. And the below titles are perfectly diverse in that fun picture format. Rainbow: A First Book of Pride was originally from 2019. Therefore, it is just an introduction to the rainbow flag with none of the “extras” we see today. It is a way to show how the GLBTQ+ community is not separate, but part of […]

Oh how funny! Mom just ate someone’s body part.

The Night Eaters: Volume One: She Eats the Night by Marjorie M. Liu

by Leave a Comment

This weekend I devoured several titles. I was finally in the mood to read and the goodies I found were easy enough to read, even if they had a lot going on. And in fact, most of them deserve a second read (at least) as there was a lot going on and things probably were missed. And The Night Eaters: Volume One: She Eats the Night was one of the most-going-onest graphic novels I have read. This Marjorie M. Liu graphic novel is not for […]

Serious and light Philosophy

The Holy Ghost: A Spirited Comic by John Hendrix

by Leave a Comment

I have started and included in reviews that I am not a religious person. I respect people’s different faiths, but I have never been one to believe in a God or even Gods (though plural gods do make more sense than a single god or goddess to me). I would like to think I am spiritual though and try to be a good person (the book mentions this, more on that later), and I do enjoy the experiences of different books. And when I first […]

Thanks I’ll take a cab

Night Bus by Zuo Ma

by Leave a Comment

I started Night Bus in November of 2022 and finished in January 2023. This was partly because I took my time reading as it was complex and needed time, I was unable to concentrate on it as I never found a good reading time where it was quiet without a lot of distractions, and I took a long break in between to read other things as my brain needed a cleaning out of the oddness of Zuo Ma’s story. The whole graphic novel can be […]
