…they’ll eat us if we’re convenient.

The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi

July 29, 2022 by Leedock Leave a Comment

CBR14BINGO: Monster Square (Kaiju=monster for the most part but a handful of monstrous people involved as well. This would have never been something that I would have picked up but when Cannonballers recommend, you listen. Perhaps I should have used the Rec’d square for this one, but Monster is … [Read more]

Queer as All Get Out: 10 People Who've Inspired Me by Shelby Criswell

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Queer as All Get Out: 10 People Who've Inspired Me by Shelby Criswell has been on the TBR list for a bit now. I just happened to be looking for something else at my local library and noticed they had it. (I might have “YEEESS!” out loud….) I checked it out and started to read that night. At … [Read more]

Can’t no man play like me. Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

Little Rosetta and the Talking Guitar: The Musical Story of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the Woman Who Invented Rock and Roll, by Charnelle Pinkney Barlow,

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Can't no man play like me. Sister Rosetta Tharpe   I know I had heard of Sister Rosetta Tharpe before. Unfortunately, I had forgotten about her. But recently she was a performer I refound (see my Green Piano review) when this picture book by Charnelle Pinkney Barlow, Little Rosetta and … [Read more]

My name is Sunny & my story is on da money!

Surviving the Wild: Sunny the Shark by Remy Lai

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I adored the Surviving the Wild first two books about a koala and elephant. And Surviving the Wild: Sunny the Shark is another cute story of Surviving the Wild series. This time we explore how one shark makes friends, learns about humans and their trash. And while Sunny is getting in and out of … [Read more]

Who taught you to ride?

Wild Blue: Taming a Big-Kid Bike by Dashka Slater

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I was taught to ride my two-wheeler by my mom, who could not ride a bike herself. But then again, that was par for the course as I learned to ride my trike by watching my teenaged uncle (all six feet plus of him) riding my trike with his legs over the handlebars, and knees to his ears (I have … [Read more]

Beneath the Trees: First Spring by Dav

July 29, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The kid (or warthog) is a typical kid/hog in Beneath the Trees: First Spring by Dav. Not too bright, but curious (and that is not a negative comment, just an observation as babies do not have the intellect to understand things and have informed knowledge of the world around them). We quickly learn … [Read more]
