The Christmas Bookshop

The Christmas Bookshop by Jenny Colgan

April 4, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

I ended up buying some paperbacks a few weeks ago and I really need to get that pile down to a manageable and not crazy book hoarder level. This was a solid Christmas read. It definitely put me in the mood for winter (please don't throw stuff at me right now). I loved the characters of Carmen and … [Read more]

More Than a Female James Bond

The Night of Morningstar by Peter O'Donnell

April 4, 2022 by sabian30 4 Comments

This is a recreational reread for me. I love the pulp novels of Peter O’Donnell and his exciting secret agent, Modesty Blaise, and reread the 13 novels every couple years. Modesty, in this novel, works with her equally competent partner, Willie Garvin, to combat a worldwide organization attempting … [Read more]

Heroine as Victim

Tregaron's Daughter by Madeleine Brent

April 4, 2022 by sabian30 2 Comments

When I started reading this, I was surprised how similar the plot was to Madeleine Brent’s (Modesty Blaise writer Peter O’Donnell in reality) first novel, Merlin’s Keep. We have a spunky young lass, a dying father, a benevolent and rich foster father who takes her into his family, and a handsome … [Read more]

Hi, May I ask your Pronouns?

The Pronoun Book by Chris Ayala-Kronos and Melita Tirado

April 4, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

While reading, I thought The Pronoun Book is going to make a great board book. I then realized, that yes, it is a board book. (I had the opportunity to read it on a website the bookstore uses to order books and not the physical book. Which is one of the drawbacks to eBooks in my opinion). And a … [Read more]

Pickle Jars are not Just for Pickles anymore

The Planet in a Pickle Jar by Martin Staney

April 4, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Planet in a Pickle Jar almost has a “part one” and “part two” to it. You start off with the grandchildren of a grandmother saying their grandmother is dull, never laughs or talks until they show up. When they finally visit, they think her house is dull, the grandmother tells long tedious stories … [Read more]

Love, Me

Love, Z by Jessie Sima

April 4, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I am not completely familiar with the Robot Z, yet this book is familiar due to the theme. The simple question, "What is love?" is not as easy as Z would have hoped in Jessie Sima’s picture book Love, Z. But a wonderful journey later, Z finds that love might have been closer than they thought at … [Read more]
