“In brightest day, in blackest night, No evil shall escape my sight. Let all who worship evil’s might, Beware my power, Green Lantern’s light!”

Green Lantern: Legacy by Minh Le

by Leave a Comment

While Minh Le’s Green Lantern: Legacy is an easy Green Lantern story, it does capture the old school feel of the adult/original Green Lantern. It is a story that any Green Lantern would have to face: the first battle while they still face their fear of failure, wondering if are they good enough and why does everyone think they need a babysitter? (Okay, that last part is probably just 13-year-old Tai Pham). All the elements of a good graphic novel and a good story is here. It has a more solid base than some of the other adapted DC Graphic […]

I’m losing my mind

The Memory Book by Lara Avery

by Leave a Comment

Official book description: “They tell me that my memory will never be the same, that I’ll start forgetting things. At first just a little, and then a lot. So I’m writing to remember.” Sammie McCoy is a girl with a plan: graduate at the top of her class and get out of her small town as soon as possible. Nothing will stand in her way–not even the rare genetic disorder the doctors say will slowly steal her memories and then her health. So the memory book is born: a journal written to Sammie’s future self, so she can remember everything […]

“This will end in flames”

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

by 1 Comment

Simon Snow won. But he also lost. A lot. And now he’s lying on a couch barely living and his best friend is worried about him. His boyfriend wonders what’s going on in their relationship and everyone is walking on eggshells a bit. So Penelope decides they all need a holiday. In America! What better way to brush off the cobwebs and escape their normal (but never Normal) lives than a road trip across the U.S. of A? It starts out grand of course, these things do, and then they run into trouble. Magickal dead spots and ending up on […]

I cannot do this book justice, so don’t read my review, just take my word and read this book

The Deep & Dark Blue by Niki Smith

by Leave a Comment

There are a few weak spots in the story line of The Deep & Dark Blue. The largest two pieces are, first, it seems to start in the middle of the story. You do not learn who the two main characters, Hawke and Grayson, are right away but tossed into being introduced to a large plot point while being tossed into meeting a cousin of the twins at the same time. Yet, you are unaware right off he is a cousin. Or they are twins. The second one is who is cousin Mirelle? She just shows up. However, her introduction […]

More of this, please!

Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

by Leave a Comment

Oh god I’m so behind. I’ve got three more reviews to write after this one and I’m almost done with a fourth book how did I let this happen. Ahhhhhh. But seriously, more of this please. Give me all the non-Euro-centric YA fantasy you got and I will eat it up. Gods of Jade and Shadow dives deep into Mexican-Mayan mythology and I loved literally every second of it. A friend of mine started reading it and I was like OH MY GOD FINISH SOONER SO WE CAN TALK ABOUT IT. Anyway. Gods of Jade and Shadow is the story of Casiopea, […]

Shooting Stars

Dragon Hoops by Gene Luen Yang

by Leave a Comment

Dragon Hoops was not only a graphic novel, but a graphic novel by Gene Luen Yang. And not just only any old graphic novel by him, but a First Second published one. All the big points were hit. The only thing I was not looking forward to was going to be the basketball aspect. But I figured that since Check, Please! by Ngozi Ukazu was not really about hockey, that maybe this was not really about basketball. Oh, it is about basketball. But it is about one extremely special high school team. But not just when the book was started, […]

Get your red hot and garlic and BBQ and oh so much more crickets here

Chirp by Kate Messner

by Leave a Comment

Chirp is an age appropriate (10-14) book dealing with some heavy subjects.  But overall, they are presented respectfully and are accessible to all readers. There were a few bumps in the plot for me, but I felt it was a decent story and for certain the style that you have come to expect from the author. Kate Messner writes about Mia, a young girl moving back to Vermont after several years living in Boston. Her parents and she have come back to help her grandmother with the family farm. Only this is not your typical farm. It is a cricket […]

His Holiness Pope Francis I stirs things up….

Francis The People's Pope by Ted Ral

by Leave a Comment

When I learned we had a Pope Francis my first thought was, “We have a Pope FRANKIE???” (And I mean no disrespect, truly I only have love here.) He caught my eye. Now I was curious who this man was. What was the hub-bub about? He was the fifth Pope I was alive for but only the second I was “aware of” (I knew of Pope John Paul II, as I remember the assassination attempt, but I was still a kid and not into politics). Later, I saw a graphic novel by Ted Rall. I have had this copy of […]
