When she says old she means old (and sassy!)

Old Friends by Margaret Aitken

May 25, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

When you think of old friends you might think of the friend you have had since kindergarten (all of two years ago), or you might think of the one you have had since high school (over thirty years ago). Or you might think of your friend who lives in a senior home. And that thought is a little closer … [Read more]

The connections never end

So Not Ghoul by Karen Yin

Sunflower Sisters by Monika Singh Gangotra

May 25, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

So Not Ghoul by Karen Yin and Sunflower Sisters by Monika Singh Gangotra have connections in themes and are two very wonderfully different books. However, if you like one, you might just like the other. I will start with the main difference between the two, which is the tone. Yin’s story is while … [Read more]

One loud and proud baby

Bye Bye Binary by Eric Geron

May 25, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

This book is exactly how you would expect. Bye Bye Binary is loud. It is bright. It is bold. It is in your face. Even the narrator is loud. No, I did not listen to this on audio. But there is a voice. I could hear the baby of the story yelling all the things they are talking about. When the … [Read more]

Bye Bye Birdie

Broadway Bird by Alex Timbers

May 25, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I will admit it. When I first saw Broadway Bird by Alex Timbers, I thought it was going to be, well, dumb. It had the look of trying to be clever and falling flat. Break a leg was not going to be a “good luck” wish, but a prophecy. Boy was I wrong! It was amusing, clever and while familiar … [Read more]

Burn, Baby, Burn

Tales of Burning Love by Louise Erdrich

May 24, 2022 by TQB Leave a Comment

Once upon a time, I signed up for my first CBR. I had a lofty plan of reading all of Louise Erdrich’s books in order. Why did I feel like I needed a theme? Who knows. All I know is that I fell down on book one, and it took me until last year to get back up. My recollection was that I was reading … [Read more]

    on Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Abduct
    I read them in the late 1980s/early 90s too. They were my first romances.

    on Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Abduct
    I read my way through her books, and those of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Shirley Busbee, in the 1980s and 'bonkers'...

    on Love on the Spectrum, Austen Style
    Yes! It’s downright offensive! I do love Lady Catherine
  • Emmalita
    on Love on the Spectrum, Austen Style
    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.

    on The Kiss Quotient: Reverse, diverse Pretty Woman.
    This book helped me realize how very specific my pet peeves could be in relation to how people refer to...
