Alison by Lizzy Stewart

September 10, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Alison by Lizzy Stewart is an illustrated novel/graphic novel that is an intense, slow burn, but reads quickly, story of coming of age in your adult years. The world of art, women and sex explodes off the pages, yet the narrative remains slow and deep. Best described as “literary,” and that means whatever that means to you. It includes sex, alcohol, death, women’s rights, infidelity, and more.  That is the emotional review, an academic is how we follow a woman through her twenties to sixties […]

Big, bad, beautiful

Katie, Big and Strong: The True Story of the Mighty Woman Who Could Lift Anything by Jennifer Cooper and Jen White

September 10, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I thought I had read about Katie Brumbach more than my official record shows. But regardless, I had (though currently available) an online reader copy of  Katie, Big and Strong: The True Story of the Mighty Woman Who Could Lift Anything by Jennifer Cooper and Jen White (illustrator) and therefore, I can say I have read at least one.  I really can’t do this book justice for story, so I’ll take the publisher description: Even from a young age, Katie Brumbach was BIG and STRONG. […]

Yes, that Megan Fox

Pretty Boys Are Poisonous: Poems by Megan Fox

September 10, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

For the poetry collection, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous: Poems by Megan Fox I give it a two.  This is one reason why I almost didn’t write a review, I mean, why set myself up for Megan Fox fans to say she’s a genius and what amazing writing and writer she is, and how she is so meaningful? Then I realized, I’ve dealt with a Beyonce fan and believe me they are very intense so I think I can handle Megan Fox’s fans. So, the reason […]

Swordheart: I never thought I would read this many books in a year and I’ve run clean out of taglines

Swordheart by T. Kingfisher

September 9, 2026 by beereadsbooks 1 Comment

CBR Bingo: Wealth – The whole story starts with a moderate amount of wealth being left to Halla by a deceased granduncle, and her quest to get it back for the sake of her own nieces. Halla is the widowed housekeeper of Silas, her dead husband’s now-dead granduncle. Halla was, apparently, the only relative that spent much time with Silas because he left his estate to her, much to the chagrin of his nasty blood relatives. They have locked Halla up until she comes to […]

Isn’t He Romantic? Adib Khorram

Kansas City, MO is actually a great setting for a swoony mm fake dating romance

Isn’t He Romantic by Adib Khorram

September 9, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

For a couple of years, Helena Greer has been telling anyone who will listen that we should read Adib Khorram. I knew she was right. It just took a bit for one of his arcs to get into my hands. Isn’t He Romantic is the third in his Love on the Vine series, and while I’m looking forward to reading the first two books when I have a chance, it’s enough of a stand alone that I didn’t feel like I was missing information. I really enjoyed […]

Revenge of the Sunshine by Jackie Lau

Sparkling Revenge Romance

Revenge of the Sunshine by Jackie Lau

September 8, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

I remember the moment I realized some men like it when a woman is mean to them. Zoe, the sunshine in Jackie Lau’s Revenge of the Sunshine, is a little bit mean. Bennett Chung secretly likes it that Zoe bullies him into whimsey. He doesn’t admit that he likes it. You have to pay attention to what he does, not what he says (or thinks). Zoe could have been meaner to Bennett’s younger brother, her ex-boyfriend, and her former best friend after she caught them […]
