Open Your Eyes and Then Open Them Again

The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett

February 25, 2021 by Ale Leave a Comment

I will forever and always love Terry Pratchett and everything he ever wrote. The fact that we will never get a new Pratchett novel still makes me sad, and I’ve stayed away from any rereads of his books for a while since they just make me miss him. But my awesome CBR book exchange partner sent me The Wee Free Men for book exchange, and after the year we all had, I both wanted to reread something I knew I’d love, and comfort myself with […]

Rapunzel’s Revenge Book 1 by Shannon and Dean Hale

February 25, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

It is rare that I reread a book especially if I remember reading it at least once before. And if I do, it tends not to be right away. However, Rapunzel’s Revenge Book 1 by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale (along with illustrations by Nathan Hale, no relation) was a book that I thought deserved a second read. This is for several reasons. The first was that it was not flowing a hundred percent smoothly text-wise. I thought perhaps I had skipped a panel or […]

The Amulet of Samarkand The Graphic Novel by Jonathan Stroud

February 23, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I like reading graphic novels that are adapted from a novel. It has potential for you to see if they match, if the art looks like what you think it “should” look like and you get a “two for one” (so to speak) story. However, when you read a graphic novel adapted from a novel you read so many years ago, you cannot remember what the book was about, you get a surprise. The Amulet of Samarkand The Graphic Novel is Jonathan Stroud’s novel of […]

DC Super Hero Girls V05: Out of the Bottle Graphic Novel. by Shea Fontana

February 23, 2021 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was looking for something fun, light, and easy to read. And though I noticed awhile back that the last two times I took out books from the library I ended up in the ER, I decided to take a chance. I picked out five titles (with a sixth in case one was not available) and ended up with four. Good average and considering the one I am reading; I probably will not be getting through them all too soon. Therefore, I picked up first  […]

I (mostly) liked this series

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard

Queen Song by Victoria Aveyard

Steel Scars by Victoria Aveyard

February 23, 2021 by Manimama Leave a Comment

The Red Queen series is great for young adult readers who are maybe not quite grown enough for Game of Thrones but love a fantasy adventure involving royal intrigue and superpowers. The first in this series is Red Queen. Mare Barrow is a teenage pickpocket, stealing in the marketplace of her town to help support her family. They are ‘Reds’, an oppressed class of citizens ruled by ‘Silvers’. The designations are due to the colors of the group’s blood. Reds have red blood and work as a […]
