Cotton Comes to Harlem by Chester Himes

Blind Man with a Pistol by Chester Himes

November 7, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Cotton Comes to Harlem 4/5 I am sometimes a little lukewarm about this series, but this one is great. Usually what I like about the series is that it wastes no time jumping into the action, especially offering up some crazy action right from the start. My favorite of the books really pull that … [Read more]

Mycroft Holmes 2 and 3

Mycroft and Sherlock by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; Anna Waterhouse

The Empty Birdcage by Anna Waterhouse; Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

November 7, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Mycroft and Sherlock In the first book of this series, we mostly get Mycroft, who if I recall correctly was living abroad in the foreign service and solving his own little mysteries (they're actually quite big mysteries really). Now Mycroft is returned to England and knows he needs to check on … [Read more]

As the song goes, What’s love got to do with it?

The Love Report by BeKa and Maya

November 7, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Love Report has been giving me several fits. The first being that it is not out until at least mid-June 2023, the second being it is not yet in our system so I cannot send reviews for “talking up” on our website or show I read it on sites I use to count my reading. And finally, I am not sure if … [Read more]

Champion Chompers, Super Stinkers and Other Poems by Extraordinary Animals  by Linda Ashman

November 7, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Champion Chompers, Super Stinkers and Other Poems by Extraordinary Animals  might be one of my favorite books this year. Linda Ashman and Aparna Varma (illustrators wonderfully done by) crated a book that has facts, little fiction, and a lot of fun. A page of facts follows a poem about different … [Read more]

Who needs a yeti?

Yetis Are the Worst! by Alex Willan

November 7, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Gilbert the Goblin is convinced yetis are not nearly as mysterious as they seem, and sets off to find one to prove once and for all that Goblins are just as cool and mysterious as the elusive yeti. (Directly stolen, I mean borrowed, from the publisher description). And you get a funny journey … [Read more]

There are several books about kindness, and The Best Kind of Mooncake by Pearl Auyeung includes that lesson, plus ones about family, friendship, community, and culture, too. One morning in Hong Kong, a young girl and her siblings are promised a mooncake that was the best of the best. But they … [Read more]
