The Language of Thorns

The Language of Thorns: Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic by Leigh Bardugo

September 29, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Absolutely fantastic. This was so good I didn't want it to end. Bardugo does an excellent job with the stories and Kipin's illustrations evokes the fairy tale setting and characters so well. I may just buy this in hardback for the illustrations alone. These stories are a great blend of retellings as … [Read more]

We were merely freshmen (and sophomores)

The Idiot by Elif Batuman

Either / Or by Elif Batuman

September 29, 2022 by booktrovert Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo - two books, one square (and a Bingo!) - adapt, because that's what we're all trying to do in college I read The Idiot and Either/Or back to back, so it felt more like a single, longer volume than reading two separate books. Based on Goodreads reviews, some felt that the tone in the … [Read more]

Does a mama shark tell her kiddo to wait 30 minutes before swimming?

Mother of Sharks by Melissa Cristina Marquez

September 28, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was lucky and recently had Mother of Sharks by Melissa Cristina Marquez fall into my lap (well, in my hands). Not due until late May/early June 2023, Marquez’s story is one we all need to know as it is not just about a woman, or a woman of color, or about science, or the ocean. It is all of that … [Read more]

Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) ROBIN!

Batman and Robin and Howard by Jeffrey Brown

September 28, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

One reviewer from Goodreads said Batman and Robin and Howard was (to be more polite) less than intelligent, and while I will not disagree, I think they missed the point. This is an over the top, fun, story about being the new kid vs. the before kid at school. The story of two people who do not click … [Read more]
