Lizzy and the Cloud

Lizzy and the Cloud by Terry Fan and Eric Fan

by 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]

Little in stature, big in dreams

Little Pea by Davide Cali

by 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

by 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]

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

by 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]
