Lizzy and the Cloud

Lizzy and the Cloud by Terry Fan and Eric Fan

December 20, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Lizzy and the Cloud is written and illustrated by Terry Fan and Eric Fan. They are a couple of odd ducks to start with. Talented as heck, but sometimes I just do not “get them.”  They create stories that seem simple on the surface but are deeper. I am going to say there are a combination of themes … [Read more]

She and Green

The Life of a Crayon: A Colorful Story of Never-Ending Beginnings by Christopher Willard and Tara Wosiski

December 20, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When a young girl gets a brand-new box of crayons, the adventures begin. But one crayon, Green, is the one that we follow. This is her favorite color, and we see how the many green things come into play (and drawing) as she grows. Not only does she have fun and is artistic but learns lessons too. … [Read more]

Little in stature, big in dreams

Little Pea by Davide Cali

December 20, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Little Pea is a perfect example of what I was thinking about the other day. How I can forgive bad or mediocre writing for fun or good illustrations. We have a story of a Thumbelina character (Little Pea) who is so small they must borrow their doll shoes but still can fight bears and explore. They … [Read more]

Daydreams and reality

Shahrzad and the Angry King by Nahid Kazemi

December 20, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Shahrzad and the Angry King is one of those books that I did not know if I liked or not. Now, I am not saying that Nahid Kazemi wrote a bad book, but they did write one of those picture books that has a lot going on and it is not a one time read. Also, I think what I had was only an online sample … [Read more]

Hide by Kiersten White

December 20, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Good lord. This was agonizing. I started this book for Halloween Book Bingo and it is now December people. This past week has been me cleaning up library borrows that I keep re-requesting but never want to finish. This had an interesting premise that quickly went to [redacted] and I got tired of … [Read more]

Drunk On Love

Drunk On Love by Jasmine Guillory

December 20, 2022 by Classic 2 Comments

Bored to tears. The last few Guillory books didn't do a thing for me and this one was the same. I thought the first two of her books were great and now they just feel lacking to me. This one I didn't care about the heroine (Margot) and the hero (Luke). This was insta-lust, forbidden love (she's … [Read more]
