Diasporican: A Puerto Rican Cookbook by Illyanna Maisonet

by 2 Comments

I will read anything Illyanna Maisonet wants to write. She is like a breath of salt-tinged fresh air in a stuffy room. Reading Diasporican: A Puerto Rican Cookbook is a no-brainer for me. I want her to have the resources to write whatever she wants to write. On almost every page of Diasporican I … [Read more]

Brain Washing. But in a nice way.

Invisible: A Graphic Novel by Christina Diaz Gonzalez 

The Cool Code by Deirdre Langeland

Ride On by Faith Erin Hicks

by Leave a Comment

Junior high is tough. And so is reading several creepy/thriller/horror novels or graphic novels in a row. Needed a major brain cleaning, I found three middle reader graphic novels that worked wonders. And not only were they "light" for my adult brain, they had messages and dealt with issues that … [Read more]

Don’t say, “Bite me” to this family

What Big Teeth by Rose Szabo

by Leave a Comment

What Big Teeth by Rose Szabo is not for everyone. It has an odd theme, with odder imagery (though no illustrations). Yet, while it is interesting nonetheless, it does have several weaknesses. Some plot point holes are one of them, and another (for me) was that the characters are not overly … [Read more]

Stung (volume one) by Bethany Wiggins

If you do not like pandemic stories, please stay away from Stung (volume one) by Bethany Wiggins. While this was written before the current events of 2020 to 2022 (when I read) it is almost like what we experienced and/or are experiencing. Except with the crazy beasts roaming outside the gates of … [Read more]

Lilly Renee fought Nazi’s with her pen

Lily Renee, Escape Artist: From Holocaust Survivors to Comic Book Pioneer by Trina Robbins

by Leave a Comment

A while ago, I think I saw this book on a list of World War two books. Or maybe it was books about women. At the time it did not seem interesting to me, so I quickly forgot it. Later I came across from it and for some reason was compelled to do an interlibrary loan request for it. I know I was not … [Read more]

Name. Time. Hell.

The Hellbound Volume one by Yeon San-Ho

by Leave a Comment

This, to say the least, is an unusual book.  What is/was the point? Who are these people that grace the pages? Why do they do what they do? (Okay, the officer who had his wife murdered, and his son, make sense, but still). When is this book taking place? (Is it now? Or a future timeline? Or even an … [Read more]
