It’s 1983, and Malibu is getting ready for the party of the year that pro-surfer and model Nina Riva - estranged daughter of legendary rocker Mick Riva - throws every year. Nina’s siblings gather too: not-really twins Jay and Hudson, normally joined at the hip, now have a terrible secret that … [Read more]

The Missed Connection by Tia Williams

June 5, 2026 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

The first part of The Missed Connection is one of the funniest romances I’ve read. I wouldn’t call the book a romcom, because it doesn’t hold on to that level of comedy. I enjoyed it, but I did feel a bit as if I was reading two different books. It starts out funny (with tragedy underpinning the … [Read more]

Marion by Leah Rowan

Marion by Leah Rowan

June 5, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review. The first part 30 percent of the book I thought was really good, but then it started to just kind of spiral and I didn't believe anything that was happening. After a while it just felt like Rowan … [Read more]

“The Next Right Thing”

Gigs by Mark Mosedale and Si Smith

June 5, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Right now, I really dislike Mark Mosedale, Si Smith,Top Shelf Productions, and the person who sent me the reader's copy of Gigs by Smosedale and illustrated by Smith. I dislike you because you made me feel all the emotions at once. You made me unable to put my reader copy down. You made me want to … [Read more]

To Boob or Not to Boob

The Breast Is Yet to Come: Cartoons for Nursing Moms by Howard J. Bennett and Jan Bennett

June 5, 2026 by BlackRaven 1 Comment

Breastfeeding is a controversial subject. Should you do it in public? Why should you nurse in public if I do not wish to see it? When do you stop? Should you force the child when they are obviously not having it? Should you mix breastfeeding with bottle feeding? I could go on as I (as many women do) … [Read more]

Super Roomies: Lake of Slime: A Star Chapter Book by Jarrett Lerner

June 5, 2026 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I found a book that happens to be by the author and illustrator Jarrett Lerner that I was not the audience for and therefore, I am not a fan of. Please don’t get me wrong, I appreciate and admire the time and effort that goes into creating any book, in fact, I’m envious as I couldn’t begin to know … [Read more]
